great men and women. One evening In beginning his bedtime story
~ for the two youngsters daddy said:
Here is a story about a famous artist who lived many, many years ago.

"Gotto began life as a cry poor boy, the son of a farmer When be a
still very young he began to draw pictures, but in those days paper inc pencils
were scarce and the poor boy could not buy any. His father sen him nut Unto
the meadows to watch the sheep and while the animals were grazing the little
boy took fat pieces of stone and drew pictures o them with another stone
One day be was busny at work o n Of his pictures and did lot notice a man
who came behind him and looked over his shoulder. The. man vas a famous
painter named Cimabue and he va 81 pleased with the little shepherd boys
work that he got the consent Of the boys father to take hm to the city with
him and teach him how to paint
After some years iotto became so good a painter that people said he vas
even better than Cimabue. He lived In the city of Florence, but on the po-
pie Of the other Italian cities heard about the wonderful painter; and they
went 20 see his work. Soon ever the pope at Rome heard of him.
NOW, IT happened that the pope wanted to have som pictures painted at
that time, so he decided to ask GioHo to paint them. But before be would let
Gotto do the work he wanted to see for himself whether Gioto vas really

The Evening Chit-C Chat
By RUTH CAMERON
kkEVERY day is a fresh beginning;
Listen my soul to the glad refrain,
And spite of old sorrow and older SHINING,
And puzzles forecasted and possible pain,
Take heart with the day and begin again!"

tFr Susan Coolidge.
To-day is the birthday of a MAJ who at the age of thtrynine was
an obscure failure in a provincial town. After having wasted several
great opportunities, he a working as a clerk in his fathers warehouse,
earning from $500 to $500 a year, which was not enough to keep his
I@t tour years. atar tMs mans picture was hanging in the homes
of grateful millions, and his name was joined with Washingtons.
It seems 20 m e that the life of Ulysses Grant ought to be a knock
down argument for any man who dares at any age to say, Il an a
failure. My chances for success are over"
Had Grant said, 81 am a hopeless failure. I have failed at every
thing I have tried. There is no use in my trying to lead a regiment" the
history Of this country might have been altogether different
Here are a few facts in Grants life history. Sol 0H
He ws born April 81, 1882. Ne r. --
He was educated at West Point, graduating twentyfrst in a class of

brevet captain, being then twentysix years old.
This was in 1913. In 1854, at the age of thirtytwo his downgrade
began when he was forced to resign from the army because Of drunken
He went into the real estate business, worked in the custom house
and ever as n auctoneer, it is said.
During this time" his bographer says, at was 81 painful to e
him that all who knew him preferred to cross the street rather than meet
him"
FINALLY" to quote the bographer again, "o him and his family
for whom he could not earn wen needful bread, his father had become a
last shelter against the struggles of life"
This was his condition when war ws declared.
Immediately he offered his services al the captain of a regiment
which he had helped to recruit and drill.
August I he vas made bigadier-general of volunteers.
February 16, 1852, he was made maJorgeneral u volunteers.
July 4, 1868, he was made major-general of the United States army.
April 8, 1855, he received Lees surrender.
May IA, 1868, he al unanimously nominated for President at the
National Republican Convention in Chicago.
November 4 he was elected President of the United States.
Seven years from a cerkship in a country town to the Presidents
chair!
1t is perhaps, take it all in all. the most remarkable record of any of

that 1t deserves more than passing no.
tice. This particular specimen was
acquired by W. N. Ferguson, a mis-
sionary In Szethuen, from a Tibetan
hunter. Its habitat is the dwarf bam-
boo and rhododendron forests which
clothe the hills at an altitude Of from
1900 to 1900 feet in this part of
China. It Is a vegetable feeder. The
soles Of the feet are hairy, and,
though very bearlike in appearance,
it has been named the great panda by
Sir Ray Lancaster, as the structure of
the skull and skeleton shows 1t to be
closely related to the Himilayan pan
da or wah. 1t has eve been obtain
ed by a European sportsman and was
originally discovered in 1860 by Pere
David in the mountains Of east Tibet.
The panda, a very handsomely colored
little beast. is the only old world rep
r~esentative of the accoon.

On thA Cars.

Here is something that may amuse
you some time when you are In the
trolley car or elevated train and are
beginning to feel tired. Compare the
advertisements In the car with the peo-
pie who are sitting beneath them. The
contrast is often very funny. For in
stance, you may see an elderly gentle
man below an advertisement for ba-
bies' food, or a baby beneath a shay
ing soap advertisement, or a very bald
person sitting unconsctously beneath a
hair tonic sign, or a tramp beneath a
soap advertisement. 1t Is fun, too, TO
read from one advertisement on to the
next, as though they belonged togeth-
er. You may read, for instance, that a
certain breakfast food is excellent for
the hair or that condensed soup fire.
Quently applied will make your gar
ments look like new.

A Queer African Town,

The town of Abu Hamed is located
where caravans quit the river Nile
and begin their Journey across the
desert. Merchants leave their mer.
chandise there and load up again with
goods that other merchants have left
there for them. There is nothing un-
usual In this, the strange part being
that no storehouses or depots are used
for the protection of these goods, often
Of priceless value. The curious story
about Abu Hamed is that goods left
under the monument dedicated to st.
Abu Hamed are safe. Here they re-
main In the sand beneath the monu'
ment for months or years. No mi will
modest them. They are considered to
be under the protection Of the saint
himself. There has never been known
an instance of loss or theft Of any

Old Timber Stronger Than New

Which is the stronger. . piece Of
sound old timber or piece of new?
We think 1t probable that the major
ity Of engineers would say that the
new timber was the stronger In
either case. however. the opinions
would be mere guesswork, for there
has been hitherto. so far ~ we recall,
no authentic information on this
point. This lack is now supplied in
paper by Mr.. C. P. Buchanan In which
he shows as a result Of careful tests,
that sound timber quarter of CEN
tury old is materially stronger than
new stock
Mr.. Buchanan's tests were made on
white pine. but there Is no reason to
suppose that oak, hard pine or any
other wood commonly used in build
ing would behave differently It is
fair to conclude that all wood main
tains its strength, except as decay
weakens 1t or fire and mechanical abb
rasion destroy it.-Engineering News
