Few Years of Poverty
in Victor Hugo's Life
Unlike ninny great writers, Victor
Hugo hud a happy childhood; was a
brilliant pupil, and when he foil In
love, at an early age, he did not
become dreamy and Impractical, but
worked harder than ever to achieve
success.
His first experience of real tragedy
came with the death of his mother.
Ills relationship with her had been
unusually Intimate and tender. For
several years the mother had teen
estranged from her husband, which
had resulted In drawing her cloRer.to
her youngest son. Soon after his
mother's death his father married the
woman who had caused the estrange
ment. The elder Hugo had no sympathy
with his son's desire to write. He
offered him a sufficient allowance If
he would give up authorship and de
vote himself to a career that promised
a large Income. Hugo Indignantly re
fused, and shared a Purls attic with
bis cousin. Here he gained the knowl
edge of poverty thnt he revealed In
"Les MlHerables," But he was not
as poor as many young geniuses have
been, nor did he know poverty for
any great length of time. In 1822
he married the gtrl with whom he
had fallen In love when he was seven
teen, and this brought a reconcllhv
tloa with his father. Kansas City

The Bum
An American visitor to London, In
his reverence for Francis Thompson's
poems, made a pilgrimage recently to
the Skldduw Anns, Kllburn, the "pub"
where the author of the "Hound of
Ilpaven" UHed to sit and dream by the
fire In the saloon bar. The pilgrim re
called its Francis Thompson's associa
tions to the landlord of tho Inn, who
hud never heard of him.

Gift of Golden Eagle
to Yellowstone Park
A large golden eagle, a bird even
more fine anil majestic than tho bald
eagle shown on the Amerlcao cout-of-arms,
bus beea presented o Yellow
stone Natlouul nrk by Ihrry B.
Boughers of Fort Wsyne, .Ind. Mr.
Boughers found the eagle wltb Its
wlag Injured, spparently by gunshot,
and kept it several weeks until Its
wound was heated. Aaxleus that the
bird should not be exposed to any
Bore pot shots In a densely populated
region, he sent It out to the park at
his own expense, requesting that It be
kept and fed welt for a short lime and
then released to find Its own borne In
the mountains.
Yellowstone National park has fre
quently figured ns the source of dona
tions of such animals ns bison and
elk, but this Is one of tlm few cuses
on record where the process has been
reversed. This Is at least partly duo
to the fact that the national park
service tins steadily adhered to a pol
icy of refusing to Introduce animals
or plants not native to th.i region.

Gamekeeper's Find
A gamekeeper aeur Aberdeen, Scot
land, has hud a retnurkable experleaca
among foxee.
He discovered the lair of a fox
among the heather, and after a good
deal of hunting succeeded In trapping
the old pair. A few days later he
found on the ledge of a rock near the
dea five young fox cubs.
It chanced that he had at home a
cot with kittens the same age as the
cubs, so he took two of them homo
and placed them beside the mother
cot. She took kindly to her common
enemy, and cared for them. The
young cubs have become quite friend
ly with the kittens, and the cat Is
proving an excellent foster mother.
