LESSON IN FRANKLIN'S LIFE
OF Rose to immortal Fame From
Humble Beginnings.

On the nth OF January, in 17O6,
Benjamin Franklin was born at Bos-
ton. His father was soap and candle
maker, his mother, the daughter OF
Quaker poet of Nantucket. When Ben
jamin was ten he was taken from
school and set to work In his fathers
factory. He never again attended
regular school. yet he became a schol-
ar. He was inept and unhappy at his
first occupation. so his father APP
prenticed him to his brother to learn
the trade of a printer. When he was
seventeen he ran away from his broth
or and opened printing office In Phil
adelphia. He pursued the career of
printer and publisher until 1916,
when he was made clerk of the Penn
sylvania assembly. This was the be-
ginning of his public career, and lie
rose steadily until he became one of
the most striking figures I'm America.
In France, when lie was sent there as
ambassador after the Revolutionary
war, he became as widely known and
loved as in his own country.

To keep storage batteries In a
healthy condition for maximum serv-
Ice pure water must be added ut stated
intervals, usually about once a week.
BY pure water is meant water reason
ably free from mineral impurities
which In time would accumulate In the
bottom OF the cells and impair the ac-
ton of the battery. The three sources
OF pure water are rain water, melted
artificial Ice water and distilled water.
The two former are In many cases
hard to procure when most needed,
but distilled water can be had at any
time by means Of simple distilling
arrangement herein described.
DIstilling is accomplished by driving
steam from a body of heated water
through a tube sufficiently chilled to
condense the steam back into fluid

"ERSTWHILE SUSAN"
 AT THE RIALTO

"Erstwhile Susan" being shown at the Rialto all this week, is a very unusual play and is second to none of it's kind. Full to the brim with humor that is most quaint and subtle it is one of the most pleasing little TO- mances that has been offered in pho- toplay circles for a long time.
 ''Erstwhile" Susan, but after her marriage Juliet" for the sake of TO- nance, upsets all precedent in regard to step- mothers, when she marries Barberetta's harsh old Dutch father. who has hitherto subjected Barberetta to the most burdensome drudgery, and then proceeds in the coyest and most airy manner possible to simply wind the old man about her finger and force him into giving Barberetta a chance. Barberetta is really the heroine of the Iomance in the play, and is wonderfully attractive in her role of the girl al- ways drudging and always tired, and later as a college graduate and refined woman of the world. But "Erstwhile" Susan. or Juliet" with her self-suf- ficient way heartsome and airy, is simply irresis stable.

Jolly. round red MT. Sun had just begun his daily climb up in the blue blue sky as Peter Rabbit approached the dear Old iar-patch Peter was acting rather queerly. Every few steps he stopped and studied the dear Old Briar patch. Had you been there you might have thought from Peters ac- tions that he suspected an enemy might be in hiding there waiting for him Certainly Peter acted as if he were afraid.
 The truth is, Peter was afraid. He wasn't afraid of an enemy, No, it wasn't tn It. But just h Q same Peter was afraid to go home. You see, Peter had been gone two whole days and nights, and he had very guilty feeling. guilty feeling, you know, will make even the bravest afraid. Peter was afraid to face Mrs. Peter.
 Instead of hopping boldly in along one of his private little paths cut through the brammies of the dear Old Briar-patch. he fidgeted about. He hopped over to a patch of sweet clover and tried to eat some. But somehow he had no appetite for sweet clover. Every minute or so he turned to see if Mrs. Peter was about. All the time he was trying to think of a really good excuse to offer Mrs. Peter.
 Peter knew that he richly deserved all the sharp things little Mrs. Peter could say. He knew that nothing could excuse him for leaving Mrs. Peter to worry alone there in the dear Old Briar- patch for so long. He knew that it was nothing but selfishness, pure selfishness, that had kept him away so long. He had stayed because he had been having a good time.
 But though Peter waited and waited, little Mrs. Peter didn't appear
 After a while Peter began to worry. Could 1t be that sonnet thing dreadful had happened to littE Mrs. Peter while he had been away? Could it be that she had grown tired of being left alone and had gone back to her old home up in the old pasture where he had first met her as Miss Fuzzytail? Could 1t be that he would have to live alone in the dear Old Briar- patch? Peter does not often worry. but he worried now. Pretty soon the fear that he might not had little Mrs. Peter became gi eater than the fear of her sharp tongue. Peter turned and hurried into the dear Old Briar- patch.
 Now little Mrs. Peter had certain favorite places where she liked to sA in the dear Old Briar-p patch. Peter hun ried from one to another of these fla vorite places, but nowhere did he find so much as trace of little Mrs. Peter By this time he was sure that the worst had happened. He forgot all his guilty feelings. He had just one thought and that was to find Mrs. Peter. And so he rushed about through the dear Old Briar- patch in quite a crazy way. All of sudden in a part of the deal Old Briar- patch which Peter and Mrs Peter seldom used, Mrs. Peter stepped out from behind a bramble bush. Al

 The way you proposed to me would shame any woman.
