and deposited child's bank containing
50 I'm pennies, which had been part OF
the loot, on the front porch.
The Rubido family visited friends In
Los Angeles that day. and about noon
a neighbor. Mrs. Caroline Martin, saw
a well dressed young man carrying a
suit case walk up to the front door Of
the Rubido home, tumble with the lock
a moment and walk in.
Mrs. Martin thought the stranger
was probably a friend of the Rubidos.
and when the young man reappeared
some time after, still carrying the suit
case, she told him that the RubidO
family was passing the day in the city.
The young man thanked her and hur-
ried on.
half an hour later Mrs. Martin saw
the young man come back and deposit
something on the front porch Of the
house.
When the Rubidos returned they
found that the pleasant faced young
man had carried away all their silver.
several articles of jewelry and $50.
The baby,s penny bank, which had
been returned, was about the only
movable valuable not taken.

Washington Teacher Aided
Those Who Sought Education.
LIVED MODESTLY To Do ACT

Used Income of High School 1nstruo-
tor In Moderate Manner, and With
Money He Earned by Writing He
Was Able to Educate Eishteen Stu
dents.
Everett, Wash.-F. D. Mack, teacher
In the Central school. has spent about
$4,000 in educating eighteen students,
seventeen boys and one girl, during the
last sixteen years, according to story
he reluctantly told a newspaper repre-
sentative.
Living on his school salary In mod
est way both in Minnesota, his former
home, and in Washington, he has earn
ed the money to send students through
universities by writing short stories
and magazine articles. He has paid
out between $1,000 and $1,000 on each
Of his children
Some of the youngsters were or
phans. and some had one parent, but
all were eager to learn and were handi-
capped by lack of money.
The thirteen boys who are alive are
all actively engaged in the professions
In which Mr. Mack has educated them.
Two are druggists. one being In st.
Paul and the other in Los Angeles.
Two are instructors in the University
Of Minnesota. where they were grad
uated. One teaches mathematics, and
the other is an instructor In German.
This latter young man plans to be a
physician. and in 1914 married a girl
who wished TO go to Germany to get
her masters degree, so he and his
bride sailed for Germany to continue
their studies. only to be turned back by
the beginning of the war.
Mr. Mack sent him through Normal
school. the University of Minnesota
and Harvard. where he received his
masters degree.
A young man who chose to be a
broker received his education at the
University of Illinois. He started out
to be an architect, but changed his
mind and took a commercial course.
He was graduated four years ago and
is now in Minneapolis engaged In the
lumber brokerage business. He Is the
best money maker of the family" In
his four years out of college he has
made $4,000.
a mining engineer who was educat-
ed at the University of Minnesota is
now working in a mine at Butte, Mont.
The banker received a thorough COM
mercial education. and then Mr.. Mack
set him up in business in a bank in
Elgin. n. ID. Mr. Mack says that if
any of his boys wants to start in bust
ness he always gives them enough
money to begin. He recently bought
an eighty acre farm for one of them.
A dentist lives in Chicago. He had
four years at the University Of Val
paraiso. Mr.. Mack says this boy mar
ried rich nurse.
One boy who studied to be lawyer
lost his health after his graduation
from the University Of Minnesota law
school. so could not practice, and Is
now employed as chief of the Mime
sofa state fish and game commission,
with headquarters at st. Paul.
Self educated and quiet, Mr.. Mack
would not be thought responsible for

pies in the world.
