Henry is said to be the best Latin
scholar ever graduated from the She
boygan high school. He speaks,
reads and writes German and uses
perfect English. He also made an
excellent record in mathematics and
physics.

mo, miss, said Graves. did you
know he snapped off his tusks in the
wall, Miss HOlt?"
Miss Holt looked to see two mon
ster tUsks, snapped short at the base,
embedded in the wall.
Inside, crammed from the broad
root to the point, filling the hollow
ivory, was a shining, scintillating
mass Of precious stones. Rubies,
emeralds, sapphires, diamonds, came
tumbling forth.
That had been the hiding place Of
the Rajah's treasure. He had filled
the hollow tUsks with his hoard when
menaced with captivity; and the
ivory had grown over the Orifce.
Rajah had done his part in the
world by dying; more, perhaps, than
the world had deserved Of him.
SUEY AND STUDIES BRING FAME
AND FORTUNE TO WING
Sheboygan, Wisely studying be-
tween orders for chop suey and chow
main, Henry Wing, Chinese youth of
20, has made a record in the schools
of this city which his teachers say
beats anything their American stu
dents ever did.
Seven years ago, when he came
here from China, Henry could Meth
er read nor write. Within a month
he will be graduated from the high
school here with third highest hon
Ors. Most American boys take II
years to go through the graded and
high schools. Henry did the whole
thing in seven.
Most boys would have been salts
fled with completing such a course
in a little more than half the usual
time, but Henry didn't stop there. For
fear some one might accuse him of
lOafng, he established a Chinese res
taUTant Of his own.

mothers become mothers, fathers as

have. for ages, been regarded as pos
sessions whose prestige depended
largely upon personal prettiness
secondary even to precociousness or
physical progress and the expression
of this popular idea was the old-time
beauty show of the county fairs. But
the beauty show day met its Waterloo

contrast between scrupulously cared
for and scientifically scored animals
and the fretful, ill-fed, unkempt
babies of some Of the visitors to the
