AKK up from pictures?" replied JIUs Kobson she was seated before a larxe mirror In the rtrMlnir-rooin of the theater chancing r.er comely features to represent the type of the oM-fashloned "irrandma." Where, could I find a suitable pic ture? True, there are photographs of old ladles with their features in re pose aa required bjr the photographer, where the expression resembles a wooden face, wltn nothing; to Indicate the real woman. But the character f "Grandmum" In my new play. Is supposed to bo an exceptional type, eccentric, whlmslcle, and occasionally pedantic and yet possessing Impulsive love, quaint humor, broadmlnded views or life and a belief In hereditary In fluence. Wber. can I find a picture, to represent all that? m la Greatest Worry. "I study each phase of character and try to make It distinctive, that is to say Immediately obvious to the. audience, by the art of make-up. My fuce Is to me a bit of canvns on which I paint the features of this typo "of icrandmother. Th noae worries sne more than anything- else, but 1 have managed It at last. In my nr.it exper ience on the stag with a false nose, 1 was continually conscious It was my f,u-s and feared It would fall off In view of the audience. However. I never met with such an accident. Just fancy the preparation of making a false nose. First 1 use two narrow trip of stlcklntr plaster, which I paste on my forehead between the eyes, al- I lowinu the two parts to come down on I oach slJe of my nose and fasten to the I nostril. Over these strips there Is a I broad pleoe of piaster upon which 1 fashion with putty and crease, paint some kind of a nose. "I have In a general way copied llv Injr type of character. You meet them everywhere, and when you ooserve peculiar face you stop twice and won der. If one could only remember faces as well as names, what a stock an actress might put aside for emergencies. The worst thing about It Is tnat pcopie, not knowing a thing- about the art, will deny your Identity. One afternoon, just before the matinee. I purchased a few things to be delivered at the stage door of the theater. The little cash rlrl who had taken my purchases de llvered them a short time after I was made no for Grandma.' She rave a alance and began to laugh. I w annoyed. Then she screamed, and the more I remonstrated the greater her laughter. Two Playo Is.Kesertolre. "Finally a member of the company signed for the package and I returned to the dressing room In .a frightful temner. But soon. I reflected, to the vision of that girl I waa the funniest thing she had ever seen. This thought appeased me and I somenow felt more eondrtent that ' no trace ot me was to be seen. If I Impressed that sharp little girl and made ber believe .that 1 was not May Robson. but a funny old woman. I might reasonably expert to I m Dress a general audience. And so It was proved."

PEARSONS WILL BE REMEMBERED BY GIFTS Wealthy Benefactor Now Poor Through Funds Distributed to "Worthy Charities Oregon Unversities Aided by His Liberality. BT REV. F. A. NOPLE. IT Is a great thing to have lived a life whose story is worth telling. It also Is a great thing- to have the story well tokl. Ir. Pearsons Is fortu nate In both of these particulars. Ills life has been one of exceptional Inter est and usefulness; and the lie v. Mr. Williams, his long-time friend and rhosen biographer, has set It forth in a simple, straight-forward and at tractive way. It Is the man of action In the hands of a man of literary training and skllL It is the man of Intelligent and broad philanthropy por trayed by a man who has warm ap preciation of all efforts of whatsoever kind may be for the betterment of our humanity. Hence a biography in which we see the stalwart doctor as he Is. Intensely alive, athrob with purpose in every fiber of his being, resourceful, always bent on some practical end; and. whether In business or in distributing: his large wealth, resolutely Intent on making headway and giving a good account ot himself. Not a man to be hoodwinked, not a man to be easily balked In hts alms, not a man to waste life in fanciful dreams or In enervat ing self-indulgence: but a man -with backbone and a sturdy determination to be nd do something worth while, Just what, at the outset, was not clear, tut eomethlng. This Is the man he was. and the man presented by Dr. Vllllams. At every turn of the pages there he stands In the fullness ot sup erb and commanding personality. Mas Lived Two Geaeratloaa. -r. Pearsons Is one of the marked men of two generations, for his life has been more than twice the average age. By his sagacity and pluck, h won a high place In financial circles and had he been distinguished for nothing else, the money-world would have been compelled to acknowledge his conspicuous ability. But his ac cumulation ot wealth has been largely lost sight of In t!:e wisdom and gen erosity with which he has freely dis tributed what he gained. His place Is with the philanthropists rather than the millionaires, and his fume will rest, not on what he got but what be sjave. His story might well be taken as guide and Inspiration ty multitudes ot young men who are soon to come to the front. Born In Bradford. Vermont. 92 years ago. on a hillside farm more than two miles from the renter of the town, descended from an ancestry In which Srotch and Puritan blood mingled and self-respect. sterling Integrity and lofty alms were cherished, there was small chance of the lad being- spoiled by Indulgence In luxuries or relief from the necessity of work. There were few boys In New England three quarters ot a century ago who were not obliged to begin" early to labor and to practice wholesome self-denial and rigid economy. This boy was no exception to the nils. He knew no pampering. He had his tasks and had to do them. Through Summer's heat and Winter's cold, there was no let up in the round of simple duties. There was always something In the morning which must be done that day. and al ways something left over at ElKht which must be done the next day. There were times, no doubt, when he had to draw to the limit on pluck am determination. From the outset he was trained to do things, to economize and to exert himself to get ahead. Ho had to work his own way through the higher schools and Into the medical profession. Dr. PearaoBH Career Unlqae. The surpassing significance and the high value of Lr. Pearsons' career He In the well-nigh unique and superb use to which he has devoted his wealth, lie has made his attitude and action an ob. ject-lesson and a challenge to many other men who have large possessions. How. to get the most out of life and the most out of our money are ques tions always pressing and always per tinent. An Increasing number of men has been learning that one gets the most out of his own life when he puts the most Into the lives of others. So, too. It has been fouund that money yields largest dividends when wisely Invested for beneficent ends. The open hand carries blessings and Is blessed. The grasping hand is In danger of be ing paralysed by the unrelenting fierce ness of its own grip. Generosity ex pands the horlxon of the souL Avarice narrows and shrivels. These are conclusions which Dr. Pearsons reached - and on which he acted, and they have been abundantly Justified by his experience. For there Is probably no man In the country hap pier than this man wha once was rich and now Is comparatively poor. Tho thought of the way he has been led to view life and to dispose of his fortune and the consciousness of the blessing which this disposition of It has car ried, fill his mind and heart with serene satisfaction. Ilia millions might have been left to accentuate some fantastic whim, to be sunk In crank experiments In the so cial world, or. since he has no chil dren, to swell the coffers of distant rel- tlves and enable them to spend their lives In ease, self-gratification, vain display or In Increasing their own ac cumulations. Instead, those millions were turned Into wells of living wa ter at which the thirsty may drink for many ages. By a miracle which any rich man may work they were trans formed into sunshine and smiles and beaming- hopes and Jubilant son? for unrountea multitudes. - - The example of Ir. Pearsons In deal ing with hie wealth is one eminently fit to be followed by large numbers of men In possession of large wealth. But In urging this example there are two cautionary suggestions not to be over looked. Men who contemplate giving to worthy objects reasonably count on as many years In which to carry out their Intentions as this veteran In benevo lence has enjoyed. Neither the prom ises nor the probabilities give much margin for active service of any kind after the three score and ten goal has been reached. It is easy to recall men of wealth who have gone hence before carrying out helpful projects they had In mind. "What thou doest do quick I)," Is an admonition which has sharp application here. Men who have formed generous plans of giving at some time and have really meant, when they became rich, to do something to show their public" spirit or to express their sense of obligation to the community have failed in many Instances to carry out their altruistic Intentions. The subtle steady and successful have diverted their Interests and sym pathies Into other channels. The world has been too much with them and has won too strong 'a hold upon their thought and affection. There is a hardening of the heart which chjlls generous purposes and thwarts once I. In- ih. nlomn.ie nt ' widening recognition standards once ' hold aloft with pride are lowered and ' money he might accumulate helpful to y good causes. He began- to give early and gave all along the way. Had he waited until he was 70 years old be- I fore unloosing his purse strings. It Is likely he would not have unloosed them at ail. The church with which he was early Identified In Chicago. Christian Association work, and other objects calling for liberal aid all received sub stantial support at his hands. He re alized the advantages and knew the Joy of wlsfc at d timely giving long before he entered upon the broad career of benevolence which has made his name so widely known. When the broad minded and generous giver was ready to make giving his main business he did not have "to stop and learn how to lend a hand or to debate whether giv ing would bring Joy. . He had already had thorough schooling along this line. It is good to know such a man; to know that there Is such a man in the world. It freshens and elevates one's i n i at th.

The morning was bright, but as the day wore on, the grime of the world got Into the man and he became hard and selfish. v Bearrartor Cave ny the Way. ' Dr. Pearsons fortified himself against this beguiling tendency to love the world In the ratio In which one comes to own the world. He kept alive his early formed Intention of making any reach the sum of $120,000. ( An Impor tant consideration in connection wltn each of these gifts is that the money came at a critical moment and when the future of the Institutions hung In the balance. - If sound learning broad ens and enriches character, aids good citizenship and is a vital factor In the progress of the race we must all of us cherish the name and emulate tho ex ample of Dr. Pearsons. FIVE COAST PREACHERS IN RACE FOR BISHOP Two Portland Methodist Ministers Mentioned as Eligibles For High Place When Quadrennial Conference Meets. E FIDES Dr. Fletcher Homan, presi dent of Willamette University, and Dr. Benjamin Young, pastor of Taylor-Street Methodist Church. Dr. Matt a Hughes, Dr. C. K. Locke and Dr. F. D. Bovard are candidates from the Pacific- Coast for the office of Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It Is probable that one man will be selected from among the Metho dist ministers of this Coast for Bishop w-hen the quadrennial general confer ence of the denomination meets at Min neapolis, Minn., In May. Dr. Hughes Is pastor of a wealthy Methodist church at Pasadena. Cat.; Dr. Locke Is pastor of the First Methodist Church, Los Angeles, and was pastor of tho Taylor-street church in Portland five years ago, while Dr. Bovard is editor of the California Christian Ad vocate, and has his office In San Fran Cisco. fr. Hughes has a wide correspond ence, and friends say -he will have staunch support. The fact that he Is one of four lecturers who give a course during the conference. Is also In his favor. The others who are on the course are Dr. C P. Cadman. of Brook lyn; Bishop William A. Quale and Wil liam Jennings Bryan. However, the fact that Dr. Edwin IL Hughes, a brother of Dr. Matt 8. Hughes, was made a Bishop at the last conference, four years ago, may have weight with the delegates. Dr. Locke has been absent from his pulpit In Los Angeles for four months. on account of Illness. He Is said to have been suffering from neurasthenia, but to have recovered. He has been at Catallna Island, off the California coast. Should either Dr. Hughes or Dr. Locke be elected to the oftlco of Bishop the salary would be less than either of them now receive. Dr. - Hughes' salary Is now S6000 a year, and Dr. Locke s I6500. The Bishop s salary Is $5000 a year, but when they retire they receive half salary. Those In position o know say both Dr. Locke and Dr. Hughes are willing to defer to the other candidate when It Is apparent one has stronger support than the other. It Is also known that the San Fran cisco delegation to the conference met bout a week ago and declared they would support Dr. Bovard. Three undergraduate ministers of tho. Methodist Episcopal Church will be examined at the annual conference of the Portland district of the denomi nation, which will be held at Seaside tomorrow and Tuesday. They are: H. T. Greene, W. D.
