IOWA City, Dec, 16.-This is the true
story of Damatrula Kovrhetes. little
Greek girl-wife, whose pitful tale, as
she relates 1t herself. reads like story
| book adventure, teeming with love and
| trust; treachery and betrayal-and
| wanderings, like and yet unlike those
! of Evangeline. She came to Iowa City
with story that bore the earmarks OF
absolute truth few months ago. after
| being impoverished thru alleged rob-
berry by her own husband. She was
without money to buy food for her
self and her T-months- old babe, and
she lacked proper raiment for the child
and herself.
She declared that she married at II
a chef, to whom she entrusted the
$4,000 she had inherited after the death
| of all her kinsfok, who had accom-
panied her to America from Greece
When she was but girl of Z. Both
she and her husband worked for a time
in the east Shortly before her baby
was born, however, the heartless
| father to- be disappeared, taking all
that rema ined of hen little fortune with
| him.
Then came her long wandering. for
she followed the recreant husband from
! city to city, even as the maid of Grand
Pre- sought Gabriel tho there was less
| of beauty and romance in the futile
quest
! First one clue AMI then another she
pursued, finally coming west; hunting
yainly in Moline, H.. where she worked
| in kitchen; proceeding northward to
| Minneapolis similarly shaving in the
Flour City: then following faint clue

finally tracing him definitely to an
Iowa City hotel
| Here he learned of her coming, and
as she entered the front door of the
hosiery, he darted out of the back,
disappeared. and has not been seen
since.
Countrymen Give Help.
Soon her little store of cash
dwindled to next to nothing, and she
sought to replenish it thru toll, tho
sadly handicapped. The girlwfe's
lack of knowledge of English ham
pered her vitally but she secured odd
Jobs from time to time, and managed to
earn enough to keep body and soul to-
gether, and to support her tiny burden,
until the babe became i'll. 1t was placed

Fleas' Jumping Power Has Been Eek.
aggerated, According to Recent
investigators.

The jumping powers Of feas have
been much exaggerated, according to
bulletin recently issued by the
United States department of agricul.
ture. The species known as the hui
man fea (Pulex irritans) is prob
ably the best Jumper.
According to Mitzmain, the maxi
mum horizontal distance this spe-
cies can jump is IS inches, and the
maximum vertical distance less than
eight inchas,.
The question OF fleas jumping
powers is OF Importance in connee-
tion with the spread OF bubonis
plague and other diseases, Of which
this insect is the carrier. The IN
dian plague commission, which has
investigated the habits of the Indian
rat flea, finds its maximum horizon
tai jump to be only five inches, while
Mitzmain records the maximum
height to which it can jump as 31f
inches.

FEW PERSONS CT INTELLECT
Writer Asserts That Only Handful
OF Men Who Figure In History
Wee Its possesso-s.

It should be sad that sheer intel
Ioct is very seldom displayed by man.
Intellect is the ideal skeleton Of a
mans mental power. 1t may be de-
fined as an aspiration toward mate
ria! advantage, absolute truth, or
iy FOR fsEing s" steps toS S sa fsaaa
'ul achievement or attaining truth.
from this point of view men such as
Napoleon, Machiavoli, Epictetus,
Leo XIII, Bismarck, Voltaire, Ana
tole France are typical intellectuals.
They are not perfect; all, so far az
we can tell, are tainted with moral
feeling or emotion-a frailty which
probably explains why there has
never been British or American In
tellectual of the first rank. Huxley,
spencer, Darwin, cromwell, all alike
suffered grievously from good inten-
tons. The British and American
mind has long been honeycombed
with moral impulse, at any rate since
the Reformation; it is very much
what the German mind was up to
the middle Of the nineteenth century.
Intellect, as | conceive it, is seeing
life sanely and seeing it whole, with
out much pity, without love; seeing
life as separate from man, whose
pains and delights are only phenom-
ona; seeing love as o reaction to Ger.
tain stimuli.-W. l.. George, in the
