John Toudouze, Mr.. Toud0uze's
youngest brother, was added to the
concern when a second A. c. ToudOuze
Hardware Company store was opened.

NEW LINE.
At the beginning of 1925, Mr.. Tou-
douze decided to add another line Of
merchandise. He opened a furniture
store at 113 Main Avenue.
During the middle of 1924, the COM
pany's store at 202 South Flores
Street became too small, making it
necessary to move to larger quarters.
The Jack W. Neal and Son Hardware
store at 321 South Flores Street was
purchased and the store moved into
this location.
AT present. Mr.. Toudouze is oper-
sting two hardware stores, one gen.
eral merchandising store and a furni-
ture store in San Antonio. This
great chain of stores has grown out
of an humble beginning eight years
ago.

 She stood at the window and looked down into the street. All these little homes with their tiny, lighted windows -. there were people in them who cared for each other! People who could face pov. erty and sordidness because they cared for each other!
 May laid her head against the window frame, and as sho stood there she remembered a night not so long ago, when she had laid her head on the rough shoulder of Ulysses Forgan's overcoat and cried.
 She remembered the sense of corh- fort that had stolen over her at the touch of his coat tho sense of peace that had come to her with his letter.
 T wish I could see him now tonight for just second!" she sobbed aloud. "For just a secondi"
 The tears brought her relief as tears do. The despair that had been damned up In her soul flowed away like water. Presently she went to bed and slept dreamlessly.

DAY
 AT TALMUD T0RAH
Youth Needs Religious Educa-
 tion, New Principal Says

The Talmud Torah Is beginning campaign for registration in its He- brew classes. At a meeting tonight in the synagogue, to which the Jewish community Is invited. Miss Freda Regenbogen, the new principal, will start the campaign by presenting the plans for the coming year. Rabbi Aronson and Rabbi Hadas will also be there to address the gathering.
 In an interview with Miss Regen- bogen, who has recently come from New York, this question was put; Do you think there is a real need of religious training?"
 The answer was: "I do. The child's life is incomplete without religious education. It is an essential factor fin well-rounded life.
 Education is the armor a man dons to help him withstand the on- slaughts of life. Education is the weapon man arms himself with to attack the problems that confront him. These problems are all the more difficult when they come from within. They are intangible-they cannot be grasped by the horns and dealt with. They must be handled wisely and with knowledge. And only the strong are capable of dealing with them. Even then, there are times when all knowledge and all ed ucation fail. There are times when a man feels powerless, when his soul is challenged to combat. What. ever spiritual training he has had will stand him in good stead then He will feel his strength, and cope | with the angel, as Jacob did. Not only in strife, but In peace as well does a religious education aid him His soul is open to influences that broaden and develop him, influence! that enrich him.
 The public schools cannot give this religious training for obvious reasons. Not every home can furnish it, for the parents may lack faith, ol possess 1t in an insufficient quantity So we go to the religious school.
 "The Jewish religious school give! the child this fortifying strength anc source of inspiration. It does more than that. It unites the child witt the Jewish people who have a. his tory and a purpose-a past and flu ture. Here Is an outlet for the child spiritual tendencies as well as { source of growth. The Hebrew schoo serves the double purpose of devel oping the personality of its childrel and preserving and furthering th' identity of the Jewish people"
 Extension courses will be offered under the direction of the school anc the congregation for adults. Thes courses will cover a wide range o subjects, part of which will be in tn nature of Americanization work. Registration is open now. Ther will be no tuition charges in any 0 the classes. Those seeking to registe may do so at the office of the Tal mud Torah from 4 to z. Enrollmen will close in about a week. and " shall concentrate all our energies ol school activities.

that some one didn't even so much as glance at him, So after a while Chatterer stopped. Then for a long time he watched Buster Bear. But Buster didn't appear to have any thing to do, and presently he laid down for A nap. You see, Buster sleeps whenever he feels sleepy. It makes no difference to Buster whether 1t be night or day. But It makes all the difference fin the world to Chatterer. Chatterer is indoors at night. Yes. indeed, just as soon as the Black Shadows begin to creep through the Green Forest Chatterer retires. You see. he has no desire to make the intimate acquaintance of Hooty the Owl. So because he sleeps all night, he is very wide awake through the day, and he can not understand how anybody else can sleep when he himself is SO wide awake. So after watching Buster while, he whisled away to see what other mischief he could get Into.
 Now presently he ran across some good mushrooms. My, you should have seen his eyes sparkle when he saw those mushrooms. Chatterer Is very fond of mushrooms. Further more, Chatterer knows how to take care of mushrooms so he can have them all winter. As soon as he saw the mushrooms Chatterer forgot all about mischief. He began gather ing mushrooms and putting them up In tree where they would dry and so keep. He forgot all about Bus ter Bear and everything else. Chat terer may be mischevous and may spend a great deal of time idling, but when he works he works. There isn't a lazy bone In that small body of his when there Is work really to be done.
 Never had he found nicer mush- rooms. He licked his lips after leaving each one to dry. He licked his lips and thought of the feasts he would have when the Green Forest was wrapped in snow.
 By and by Buster Bear awoke. He heard the rustlns of small feet. He heard them going back and forth, back and forth. Quietly and with out making a sound he got to his own feet and peeked around a tree. He was just in time to see Chat. terer scamper up a tree with a mushroom in his mouth. Right away Buster Bear became interested. He became very much interested in- deed.

The police have not been able 10 find Mabel, and the boss thinks that Downey sent her money enough to go back to South America. thought maybe Downey night have gone with her, but Police Commissioner Laidlaw says that if Downey Is the man he thinks he is, he will never give up those pearls,
 I wish you would come home the moment you get this letter. MT. Prescott certainly needs you.
 The boss has been making some bonehesd plays lately-so much so that he had put up forty thousand dollars of his own money to pay his mother-in-law's annuity from the property.
 You wouldn't know Mir. Prescott, think he has lost twenty-five pounds since the robbery, ten of which have dropped of of him in the few days that have passed since the last time the house was broken into. He's cross and surly, and I think he's drinking too much.

 Today Mrs Hamilton's monthly check was due, and Mir. Prescott drew his own check for fifteen thou sand dollars to make it up.
 That dumbbell you put in your place told me she had made out the check for MT. Prescott and if she told me she told others in the office. The worst of 1t all Is that the boss is telling her things about his bad luck lately. You know he can't keen things to himself, and he don't trust me any more. although I am more trustworthy than the girl in his off, flee, as far as gossip Is concerned at least. She's getting that Ritzy there's no living with her. I heard her tell one of the other stenogs the other day that she expected to keep her position as private sec to the boss after you came home, US he had told her that the very sight of her around made the day pass pleasantly.
