Turner, a 78 year old bachelor, known to be fairly wealthy, but who wears inexpensive clothes, drives s 1924 car, and rides in. a> day .coach when he travels by train, because he "can't Afford anything better," fcs 'says./' ,"' ;y .;/ But he "can afford" to spend his money for food for children frffm destitute homes; A record kept shows he supplied St,411 meals befow^ * ; school was out. "And I am ready ttf * do it again if it will be necessary," h& promises. When he heard neighbors say that there were children In his' part of . town unable to go to school because they did not have enough to eat, * Turner called on principals of the eight schools in- the district and got each of them to set aside a room in each building as a lunch room. Then * he arranged with C. Edgar Johnson, t assistant cashie^ of the First Union * Trust & Savings Bank, to pay all bills . for food, supplied to these schools, out j of his account. ! Mothers of«the children in poverty- * stricken homes were invited to the , schools and did the cooking and I serving of the meals. As many as ; 3,982 meals were served in one , month at a single school. When it became known that he was the "Good Samaritan,'. Turner, protested he "had not done -anything worth talking about. I just told Johnson I would furnish the money. He is really handling the whole thing." • --Harvard Herald.. WHITE ROBIN FREQUENTS BARRINGTON GARDENS A pure white robin has caused quite i a little interest among residents on Grove avenue during the last week. The bird has been a frequent visitor in the gardens of Mr. and Mrs. William Thorp, 517 Grove avenue and Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Virden, 616 Grove avenue. White robins known as albinos, are considered rare, especially when they are entirely white like the one in Barrington. Except for having no color pigment whatsoever the bird is r.o different from any other robin. Its size, flight, and other characteristics are identical with an ordinary robin. The bird is frequently seen bathing in a bird bath, and it keeps its plumage in a snow-white condition. Its eyes are red, a natural condition with all pure albinos. Little is known to scientists regarding the cause of $lbinista, although it is thought to be either an absence or degeneration of the pigment to some form of physical weakness. The condition is quite common among domestic animals including white mice and rabbits. A white blackbird and white crow have been observed in Barrington before, but this is-the first report of a TALES-,'.:;-1 o/ifte TRIBES By EDITIJA L. WATSON Want Ad s FOR SALS FOR SALE--Sweet corn.

It may refer to moccasins painted black, such as were worn by the Pawnees and other tribes, or It may hfcye reference to footgear blackened by the ashes of prairie tires, and this latter k. the more probable theory. Tljis is-a confederacy, rather than a single tribe, as it consists of the Siksika (Blackfeet), the Piegan and the Kainah (Bloods). They probably included about half a hundred bands. Each of the three divisions had its own chief and council, and, held its own Sun dance0. The Atsina and the Sarsl were allied tribes. The Blackfeet have been called "th« most dangerous banditti of the mountains." They were always found Vith weapon in hand, eager for a flght The young men went to war to acquire horses and the means to set up a lodge and become leaders in the councils, while the older men fought for the love of battle and to add to their prestige Blackfeet legends mention a time when they had neither horses Dior guns, and hunted OL. foot, but it, was their acquisition of these that caused them to become the "terrible Blackfeet." Horses were stolen from other tribes with great ^adroitness, and Washington Irving relates a story showing their,, boldness. Some Blackfeet went into a Nez Perce camp and cut the horses loose where each had been tethered by one foot before the lodge. of its owner.

One of the raiders, his blanket drawn close, actually stood nedr the Nez Perce, watching the game for some time, unnoticed by them. Finally, mounting some of the horses, the cbfeet drove the rest ahead of them, and yelling derisively, galloped the Nez Perce herd off . to their own camp. The Blackfeet territory Included the upper part of Montana and north to the Saskatchewan river. The six or seven other tribes whose ranges adjoined theirs, especially the Crows, were their bitter enemies, but some •of them held the Blackfeet in great respect, and they were not often aroused to attempt retaliation, for the constant harassing to whichthey were subjected. Smallpox, measles, and starvation (due to the government cutting down rations at a season when game was unusually scarce) reduced the number of the tribe materially In later days, but in modern times they are reported to be increasing In numbers and prospering. At present they are settled, on reservations in Canada and one In Montana, and have been publicized until they are one of the best known tribes of moderq times, who enjoy their limelight and play ap to It cleverly. It was a Blackfoot, Two Guns White Calf, who was selected to pose for the Indian head on the buffalo nickel. He and his band often travel over the country and lend "native color" to Important gatherings. The Siksika must not be confused with the Siliasapa, or Blackfeet Sioux. This is a pert of the Teton Sioux, whose range was southeast of the Siksika. They and the Hunkpapa were responsible for many of the depredations along the Platte rive..

The easiest drink one knows about is lemonade, refreshing, cooling and easy to take as well as (make. Keep in the ice $hest a Jar of the lemon Juice boiled with sugar and water to form a fruit sirup, Tiien with a little cracked ice the drink is ready in a short time. A mixture of grapefruit juice, lemon and orange, is another drink well liked. Having a sugar sirup made to use for sweetening is a great convenience, as it sweetens at once and does not drop to the bottom like sugar and has to be stirred to be dissolved. Those who like honey use it often in preference to sugar, as it is the best sugar to give children, being easily digested. When company drops in and seeds quick refreshment on a hot day, try an orange ginger ale. For each person combine two-thirds of a cupful of orange Juice, one-third of a cupful of ginger ale, pour over a glass of cracked ice and serve at once. For a delightful Ice creapj soda serve a glass twothirds full of orange Juice and add a ball of vanilla ice cream. Stir rapidly and serve. Orange Juice with lemon Juice is liked by many as a combination drink. Iced coffee served as an ice cream soda drink is most delicious. Drop in the ball of ice cream and serve at once. One should remember when serving these refreshing drinks that they are not only cooling to the body, delightful to the palate, but are supplying the body with needed minerals and vitamins for health.

If anyone had out and out anted Emante If she were a suffragette, her reply would have.been evasive, noncommita! and unconsciously not quite honest One did not have.to be so stem and uncompromising an advocate as that! Bmanle did not intend to let herself get "strong minded" abp'it it. Those were the sort of women who defeated their own cause; antagonized the men and alienated the women. Emanie was not particularly concerned about the vote, even as a symbol to this much heralded emancipation. Women's party membership. Not much! All very well and good for those women who wanted to risk their looks and their charm and. their desirability, catching trains for Washington to get bills introduced and abuses defeated. Of course some ode had to do it and certain kinds of women were magnificent for the Job. Economic independence to Emanie was just a pleasant isolated fact Forty-five dollars a week as confidential secretary to a life insurance company's vice president, who seldom came to his office more than three twohour mornings a week, and who placed implicit confidence in his secretary's competence to cope with the honorary duties of his largely honorary position, left Emanie free to enjoy to their fullest the economic advantages of a good salary, an extraordinary amount of leisure and a pleasant apartment in which she had the time, taete and money to entertain with judgment and skill. It was not surprising that a yonng woman in her position, good-looking in a brown, sleek-haired, slender and efficient sort of way, chic because she could afford to dress well, alert because she had leisure and money for lectures, books, concerts and theaters, should think twice, nay thrice, before she considered anything so drastic as ' marriage. Marriage, even Into conditions which bettered hers materially, was something at which to look askance. Her position was so right. So secure So free. Even a marriage that bettered materially, was gravely liable to pitfalls. But It so happened that£ the opportunity of marriage which presented itself to Emanie was not one to better her position in the worldly sense of the word. Thomas Maugham's earnings were about the same as Emanle's, and his work in a large Middle West city would have made It impossible for Emanie to continue hers in the East Besides, Thomas, in that curiously gentle way of his, was out-and-out about what he wanted where Emanle's activities were concern«id. All well and good for women to go out into business and careers after mftrriage. Tljomas was the last person to have an attitude about it in general, but he wasn't going to make any bones about; his attitude in particular. Let the future take care of Itself. But for the first year or two or three, at least, Thomas wanted Emanie In his home--after that--well, time to talk about It Neither was Thomas the one to bicker about the fact of children. He wanted them and he wanted them while he and Emanie were still young enough to enjoy youth with their offspring. All In all, it looked as If Thomas' Idea about the future, which he was apparently sq willing to let take care of itself, was pretty well laid out * Life in a Middle West city, as the wife of a young salesman for an automobile firm, was not the glamorous picture Emanie had drawn for herself on those occasions when she let her mind reach into tho future beyond her smug present. And that salesman one who had certain reactionary views that were rather frightening. In the abstract it could scarcely J>® said that the opportunity to marry Thomas Maugham was the rosy one that should have attracted her response, except for one great factor. Emanie was in love with Thomas. He was the sort of man she could vis- •ualize with thrill, as the husband of her household, the father of her children, the dear close confident of every aspect of her life He had qualities that in a man were precious to her. Vigor, gentleness. Intelligence, and a charming laissez ftfire. This last, she told herself, hip/ easy-going capacity to let tomorroj^take care of itself, was what waygoing to stand in his way of an ultimate big material success in life. But Just the same, it kept him sweet and unshrewd and gentle in the way that was so appealing to her. For three months Emanie dallied with the Idea of marrying Thomas, torn between the conflicting elements of what was undoubted attraction; her practical knowledge of his shortcomings; her drsad of the monotony of what a routine life would Inean; and Bow to tell it ?" fiedf ad. Try » classiher b iverlag tenm of tbe folly ef I throwing away her fredoa and economic Independence. In the end her judgment, and what she called her common sense, and bar distaste for the sordldness of the routine of comparative poverty, stacked up against what she called her schoolgirl romanticism, and one morning, In the Middle West city, Thomas re eeived the letter which permanently severed their provisional engagement Afterward, as Emanie told herself, she realized to what extent she had hovered on . the edge of folly. Once the letter had been written dismissing Thomas, It seemed to her that all her good judgment, released from bondage, came flowing to hedge her in further from the folly of what she had contemplated. Once that letter was written and mailed, it seemed incredible to Emanie that she had ever even hovered on the edge of indecision. Three months later, her salary mis increased thirty thr»e and one-third per cent, and at the end of two years her photograph had appeared in a popular magazine.as one of the ten highest- salaried women in the country. She hag a threerstory house now, on one of the smart East side streets of the city, which she shares with a woman friend who is almost equally successful ia another field of endeavor. Their joint Sunday evening at homes are among the most popular in an exclusive and sophisticated set of professional and social men and women. At forty, Emanie is chic, wordly wise, traveled, successful and filled with the divers interests of a demanding and complex business life, a busy social whirl, good clothes, good food, and even better business prospects. '< She and her woman friend, however, plan to retire one of these days and take a hunting trip info East Africa that will consume several years. Every so often, on one of her business trips across country, Emanie has occasion to stop In Tom Maugham's city and she never fails to look him up. Thomas has married, is earning about sixty dollars a week, and with his wife and two children, occupies a bungalow in a row of similar ones, on a pretty suburban street Eileen Maugham is forty, a little fat, blond, and his two tall gangling sons, one in hers and one in Thomas' Image. Their lives apparently are as routlnized as the row of bungalows in which they live, except for the fact that Eileen does not see It that way, and Thomas does not, and the universe about the unit of four in that small bbuse on the small street is busy and happy and crammed with the petty anxieties and joys of a'humdrum existence. There. Is no doubt, of course, that not for one instant would Emanie change places with Eileen. On the other hand there is even less doubt that Eileen could contemplate anything so calamitous as having to change places with Emanie.

TRAILS "WE GROSS By JAMES W BROOKS Write* Sees No "Punch" ¥ in Rereading of Book We see frequently the statement by some one that he hns read a certain book, usually fiction, two or three times. It seems to us that anyone who can do that and find anything new must have been a negligent reader the first time. We don't care for the bony wreck of the turkey for days after Thanksgiving to be picked over in search of a few shreds we may have missed; and what we haven't missed tn a story is like hearing an anecdote a second time. Where's the punch? Music, our hearts may call for, over and over again, but literature doesn't seem to be that way, unless it is a gem of word coloring like Ruskln's or Carlyle's or Maeterlinck's, or.-a poem, which is another form of .music--or ought to be if it is a good poem. But why one should want to read "David Copperfield" five, six, a dozen times is to us incomprehensible; or "TeSfe of the D'Ubervillesor "Jane Eyre." We grasped their pictures, their emotion, their lessons the first time. True, if, after many years, we have well-nigh forgotten a book, we may refresh our memory by a rereading, but while our memory would be refreshed, we fear we wouldn't be.
