"Out of the Mouths of Babes."

Edward Terry tells of a pretty incident which occurred during one of his tours: "Do you know what I consider the most glowing tribute I ever received? The compliment came from a child. There was a crowded house—an intent audience—and humor had, for the Instant, given place to pathos. You might have heard a pin drop, nnd I felt the tension of the bouse was at breaking point. The Intense silence was broken by a childish voice—a girl’s —who. turning to her parent, asked in a broken voice: ‘Father, is It real?’ ”
