Dear mamma was going out, and.
in order to keep her two children
out of trouble, she left them two
apples, telling the older child to
give first choice to the younger.

younger darling weeping bitter
tears.
"Did you not give Bobby the
choice first. as I told you to-" she
said to the elder.
"Yes. mother" replied the boy.
II told i'm he could have the small
one, or none at al. and he chose
the small one"

Life of Rubens,
the Great Painter

Peter Paul Rubens, a Flemish
painter, who lived way back in
1877, painted this picture of his
two boys, and it is considered
very fine one indeed. for Rubens
was one of the greatest painters
that ever lived. The older boy is
wressed as a Flemish schoolboy at
that time dressed. The younger
boy is holding a perch fer his pet
bird. which can fly off only the
length of the string.
Rubens's life was a very inter
esting one. When he was little
boy he was page in the household
of the Countess of Lalaing at Brus-
sells. He dressed in velvet and fine
lace, and was charming to look at.
writer's tell us. He did not stay
there long, however, for he per-
suaded his mother to let him go
study art at the studio of Brus-
sells artist.
Very soon everybody began pay
ing attention to Ruben's style of
painting. 1t was unlike any other
artists. He became so well known
he was sent for to paint portraits
of beautiful women in Italy, and
then he went to England and on
to Spain. He was an intelligent,
cultured man, very elegant and
dashing in appearance, and royalty
welcomed him everywhere he went.
Rubens had a beautiful home at
Antwerp, and in the middle of it
was large salon, or a large draw
ing room, large enough to keep his
beautiful pictures, vases, statuary
and jewels in. Rubens always said
he loved to paint big pictures" best,
and so he had his staircase made
large enough to carry any of his
fine house, for he worked hard and
made great deal of money. Some
said he once painted a picture a
day for eighteen days, and he
counted each day worth at least
$50 to him. People called him 1.-THE
painter Of life," and said he mixed
blood and paint, his pictures were'
so l1e-nKe.
The great artist loved children
dearly and was very proud of his
seven sons and daughters. He
liked animals, to, and once he had
big lion brought to the house so
he could study it and paint it.
His greatest picture was painted
through strange happening.
When his beautiful home was being
built the men in digging the cellar
dug into the neighboring property.
which belonged to the Archers'
Guild. Someone suggested to Ru-
bens that he paint picture to COM
pensate for the harm done. Rubens
agreed and painted for them his
"reatest picture, the Christ Bear
s."
Charles I, of England, knighted
Rubens and gave him a gold chain
to wear. which was quite a mark Of
honor in those days. He gave him
jeweled sword, too, and had the
artist worn all the handsome dec
orations given him he would have
been literally covered with them.
Ruben's success and happiness
lay in the way he lived. He rose
at 4 every morning. went to mass,
breakfasted and painted for hours.
Then he dined, rested, rode his
spirited horses, and. after supping
spent the evenings happily with his
family and friends.

FIGHTING JACK FROST.
Denatured Alcohol Best Remedy Againta
Freezing.


Jack Frost, arch-encmy of tho motor
vehicle, is no respcctor Of persons he
will go out of his way to pay his com
pliments to a truck radiator The water
Jackets of cylinders seem to be his especial
favorites-and it is no trouble what
ever for him to quickly CONCEAL the water
within. The depredatims OF thI. frosty
fellow are to be feared moi only because
of the uncomfortably large repair bills
he is capable Of causing, but, most of all,
because he is very apt to put your truck
out of service entirely Too much de-
pends upon motor trucks these days to
risk such an occurrence.
Truck owners and drivers should pro-
vide themselves with few gallons OF de-
natured alcohol, and as the weather
turns III a decided manner feed a little
into the radiator, th,n protecting the
truck against damage which will surely
come otherwise The proportions de-

quire per cent solution Of alcohol to
prevent freezing st 25 degrees, and @
per cent solution will take care of the
watcr system down 70 zero. As low as
10 below the solution should be 80 per
cent, and if the mercury happens TO drop
to Is degrees below the percentage will
be 35 of alcohol, whereas 10 more de
grees below will require 30 per cent
solution. At present prices alcohol makes
an expensive anti-frecxe agent, but it
is most effective and certainly less ex-
penrve than cracked cylinders or
ruined cooling system.

be covered while it is loading or dis
