Weaves she early and weaves she late,
she weaves, nor heaves sigh or
moan,
But the welt OF the fabric Is dark as
And the grace of the vision gone.
CHICAGO. H., FeA But the
darkness OF fate" has lifted from the
brow Of Mrs. Hannah Jacober True,
she still sits at her sewing machine
in her little fiat here and sews early
and late. She is only 80. a widow and
the mother OF three little children.
The beautiful face that once rippled in
smiles is now furrowed with lines OF
care. And the tenseness of her work
as she knits the wrinkles into a frown
Is unbroken.
It's a wonderful story OF mother
love-love that brought light through
thick darkness TO the Jacober house
hold. The wolf whose fangs size
could almost feel once, has been dis
tanced by this widowed mother And
her selfdonial and her hard work
have made her home a little place of
glory all to herself and the children.
It's her heaven-the heaven she
found by love and hard work on
hard earth.
Five years ago the Jacobers, a
happy family, came here from the far
away fatherland. Then the husband
died. For a year and a half the wo-
man, speaking little English, strug-
glod. But always she was brave. She
knew if she could do some work like
that to which her social position in
Germany would entitle her, she could
keen the wolf away
So with fingers unused to toll, she
sewed at night and studied as a COM
mon pupil in the Robt Waller high
school by day.
At first the foolish youngsters who
crowd the high schools laughed at
her Their gibes made the tears como
when she sewed each night. But she
kept on.
Suddenly. after three years OF hard
work, the clouds lifted. Everybody
was her friend The world. that had
grown so cold and gray, was letting
in the sunlight to her and her little
ones
When Mrs. Jacober gets her diplo-
ma i'm a few weeks she will be ready
TO start a course of training in the
city normal school. and before long
she will be a teacher.
Lunch money, books and other
necessaries we're gained by her work
ing around the school building.
"You really must excuse me-" was
her reply, when asked about her
brave struggle. 1t was in language

Little children in England have Of
ten heard the mythical story of Beo-
wulf the Strong, who lived in England
long before even the Romans came
there. If anyone was in trouble 1t
was always the mighty warrior Beo-
wulf who would aid him.
Now beloved Danish king Hroth-
gar, built a beautiful palace for him
self and all his soldiers to live in. But
back in the marshes at the edge of his
kingdom lived a wicked monster
called Grendel, whom the king did not
invite to live at the palace. and great
was Grendel's wrath therefor. To
avenge himself on the king, Grendel
went every night for five years to
the castle and stole away sometimes
as many as 40 soldiers. Every one
came to fear the terrible Grendel, and
no one would go TO fight him.
