THEN HE UNDERSTOOD
REVELATION CAME SUDDENLY
TO MAN or WEALTH.
Plain Old countrywoman Had Pos
sessed Something Greater Than
the Riches He had Spent His
Life In Gathering.

John Hull found the telegram at his
office. AS he read the words the
busy scene about him faded away, ana
he saw himself once more a little,
ragged frightened boy, who heard
with terror the word 'poorhouse'
whispered by the neighbors. Then
Aunt Rachel had come In. She had
stood a moment looking at his moth
er's still face; then she had crossed
the room and gathered the boy into
her arms. "He isn't going to the
poorhouse," she had said, quietly y
am going TO take care OF him"
Il was an odd "caretaking" in some
ways. Aunt Rachel was an old maid.
and knew nothing OF a boys heart
And yet-how good she had BEEN
how good and patient! In the last ten
years, although he had seen her only
twice. there had been no word OF re-
proach, only the same unchanging
love and faith. A blur came over
John Hull's eyes, and calling his sec
retary, he gave rapid orders. He was
going to Aunt Rachel. He hoped she
would know.
Nine hours later he was alone with
Aunt Rachel. As he looked at the
great peace Of the small, worn face, a
strange feeling swept across him. Ho
never saw a look like that In Wall
street! This little, plain, old country
woman had possessed something
greater than richest

and letters. They were very few, but
among them were her account books,
and John Hull realized that in those
careful figures he was reading the
story of her life He was amazed
to know how tiny her income had
been. And of what she had had, a
tenth had gone to her church, fifth
to her missionary society, and nearly
all the rest for a boy who was not
even related to her.
And he had thought her life pitifully
poor and narrow! Now in his hour OF
vision he saw that his was the poor
and barren life-with its careless ana
spasmodic giving, its absorption in
"the game" He understood at last
the generous and unselish investment
Of this life and all its possessions. And
suddenly there came TO him the mem

aoter of the heroic legend The fam
lily Of Rostand. now more united than
ever, was to attend a cinematograph
performance at Cambo At nine
o'clock in the evening the hall had
long been filled with people, but the
show did not begin. The audience be-
gan to exhibit strong signs of impa-
tience. The proprietor came to the
front and announced that the Rnstands
having retained three places the show
could not decently begin before their
arrival The audience was of quite
different mind It took the announce
ment in bad temper, and some mo-
ments later when the illustrious tardy
ones came in, making a sensational ell
try, they were received with muir
murs and with exclamations far from
complimentary. Nine Rostand frown-
ed, but Maurice Rostand called
the proprietor, and giving him fist
full of louis, said: Fill the jaws Of
these fellows with champagne" This
was done The entire audience drank
excellent champagne. The murmurs
Of disapprobation died away and tho

SENTENCES A MAN TO TUB
Washington Court Justice Has REM
edy for Husbands "Tired
Feeling"

Washington.-Washtub exercise as
an antidote for that tired feeling"
contracted by non-supporting husbands
Is the corrective suggested by Judge
De Lacy of the Juvenile court.
Walter Hartgrove, who says he is
a graduate of a Virginia college and
who today is starting on a new career,
was the object of the courts remarks
The defendant, apparently in excellent
health, told the judge that he was
overworked and NEEDED rest When
Hartgrove's mother sought to corrob-
crate her sons assertions Judge De
Lacy advocated the washtub treat
ment.
The tears of the mother and the
wife led the court to parole Hartgrove
with the understanding that he would
contribute to the support of his wife
and children.

PECULIARITlES OF ANIMALS

Tortoises and turtles have no teeth.
Both mandibles of the parrots beak
are movables, but most birds are able
to move only one.
The horse has no eyebrows. The
appearance Of much white in the eye
Of horse indicates a vicious nature.
The stork is partial to kittens as
an article of food, and the cats re-
ciprocate by love for young storks.
The frog, owing to its peculiar
structure, cannot breathe with the
mouth open. and If it were forcibly
kept open the animal would die OF
suffocation.
Whalebone is found in the mouth OF
the whalebone whale, where it forms
the substitute for the teeth, Of which
otherwise the animal is destitute.
Pigs are poor swimmers, their fore
legs being set closely under them,
and when they fall into the water
they sometimes cut their throats
with the sharp points of their cloyen
feet
The eyes Of hares are never closed,
as they are unprovided with eyelids.
instead thereof they have a thin mem
brane which covers the eye when
asleep, and probably also when at
rest.
The deer is furnished with supple
mentary breathing places in addition
to the nostrils, and this would appear
to be an extraordinary provision of
nature giving the beast of the chase
a 2reer respiration.
Fishes swallow their food hastily
and without mastication, because they
are obliged increasingly to open and
close the jaws for the purpose Of
respiration and cannot long retain

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE RAT

Rats Ege natives OF Asia, and their
raids westward belong TO comparative
ly modern times. The little animal
was unknown in ancient Europe.
The black rat first came TO Europe
from Asia in the sixteenth century,
and about the beginning OF the seven
teenth or the ending OF the sixteenth
century he arrived in America.
This black rat was the common
house rat until the brown or gray rat
made his appearance in 1875.
The gray rat came to Europe from
India by way OF Russia. and is now
known as the Norway rat from a mis-
taken tradition that II came from Nor
way to England and from the latter
country TO America.

Basket Ball Tomorrow

Willamette University and the
IMultnomah Athletic club, of Portland,
will hook up in a game of basketball
in the w. U, gym. tomorrow evening.
The Multnomah team is reported
strong and as the varsity has been
doing some good hard work the past
few weeks, the Willamette support
ers are hopeful Of a repetition of last
years victory over the Athletic club.
The game will undoubtedly be hotly
contested and well worth seeing. The
university's record last year is d re-
markable string of victories without
single defeat throughout the whole
season, and If the team is as good
this year as 1t was last, it should
make fine showing, as there are
games scheduled with Washington,
Idaho, o. A. c., Multnomah and
Washington State College. The COM
ing game will practically open the
season for both teams.
