who passed away here during the
occupation, has just become known
to the city Degeyter, a man of
strong character, laborious work
man, had written several songs which
he and his brother-in-law used to
sing. He made no pretensions to be-
ing musician, but took great pleas
ure in playing the bugle. 1t was on
this instrument that he played the
famous air which he wrote to the
words of Eugene Pottiers hymn, and
the first time he sang it was to some
of his comrades in cabaret here.
Then his wife died. His brother
went to Paris an dpassed himself off
as the author of the famous air.
The two misfortunos worked disas
trously on Degeyters mird. He be
gan to drink heavily and conceived
for all music a dislike so strong
that he would leave cafe if any.

by grace of the goddess of luck, plus
Coryell's timely tactics, defeated Ell
Reno last Thursday, was in any de-

of experience. Some of the men

Thursday and they found that the
lads would fight The fact that
Chickasha was off-side many-times is
taken as the best evidence that the
men were after the foe every minute.
Plays that gained ground on tho
scrubs, failed to advance the oval
against the El Reno outfit, hence
such methods are ticketed for the dis
card. Among these plays is the prac-
tice of the quarter passing the ball.

fully Put Aside.

A Japanese educator tells the story
OF brothers In the agricultural college
OF SarpOro, in the northern island Of
Hokkiado. One day one of these boys
appeared wearing q wOman's yellow
and black striped padded coat. with
q velvet neckband, showing that the
garment was ordinarily worn to sup
port a baby carried japanese fashion
ou the back. There vas much litter
ing among the other students at this
strange garb and the instructors found
their classes somewhat demOralized.
At noon the young man was called into
the faculty room for an explanation.
His father was dead his mother made
a bare subsistence out of a small farm /:
she had managed to save enough to
send her boys to school with clothes
for the summer season, and nothing
more. When winter came the mother
wrote that in vain she had tried to
the necessary winter kimono; that in
spite OF every economy she had been
unable to manage it-such was the
story.
$50 I am sending you my W XII
mono and coat" she wrote. "You must
have your thin cotton ones washed
and mended, though / know they must
be nearly worn out by this time. Wear
my heavy kimono," the boy went On.
"When l can l will send you some
money to buy new ones"
But though / have mended my old
kimono." the boy went on, 1T is too
ragged. There was only n thing
to do-wear this one on the outside"
He was asked why at least he had
not removed the telltale black velvet
band.
Last night" he replied, Il took the
scissors and began to rip, but suddenly
I remembered how my mothers hands
had sewed those stitches, and how she
had taken off her warm coat to send
me, and how she was always working
for us and thinking Of us here, lonely
for the sight Of our faces, and I could
not rip out the stitches Of my moth
er's hands. l am sorry, sensei, but
l had to wear 1t as 1t was"
Those same boys were later invited
to live free of expense in a small dor
mitory donated by an American lady,
Gertrude Emerson writes in Asia
Magazine. The younger boy came to
thank her. but to explain that accept
ance would be out Of the question.

Besides, you do not understand. 1t
Is true that the paper shutters are

Strange Power Of Metals.

The Importance of the remarkable
surface actions that distinguish metals
generally was noted in a lecture by
Sir William Tilden at the British scien-
tific products exhibition. The property
Of platinum of causing the combina-
ton of oxygen a with hydrogen and
other combustible substances was dis
covered by Davy just 100 years ago.
but other metals show still stranger
powers. One Of the most valuable Is
the power possessed by nickel Of caus-
Ing hydrogen to combine with heated
oil, converting 1t into a fat that Is
solid when cold. A substance acting
by its mere presence in this way is
termed a catalyst, and catalytic actions
are now turned to account on a large
scale In making sulphuric and nitric
acids and ammonia, in the surface COM
bustion Of gas, in obtaining fats from
whale oil and In a variety Of manu-
featuring processes. A great field Is
open In the study of catalytic effects.
