Lack of education, abuse by drunken father and "too much money" were blamed by Mn. Ar buckle (or the predicament in which her atepson finds Jnmaell today.

No Help From Fatty. Mrs. Arbucklc admitted this in the little shack she calls her home and which, despite its crudity, is cleanliness personified. But she admitted it with the keen est reluctance and with an immediate rush to the defense of the film star whom, she claims, has "never owed her anything." "I have never expected anything from Roscoe," Mrs. Arbuckle de clared. "And I have never asked him for anything. None in all the world has ever gloried more in his success ihan I have and it has pleased me so much to know that he has suc ceeded. I took his mother's place and I cared for him for three year, pay ing the rent and buying h's food when his father was doing nothing, but I never figured that his owu mother would ask anything of him, so why should I?"

Avtmcklc." The statement was made, Mrs. Ar buckle declares, after Roscoe had been publicly attacked because he did not help his stepmother and her children.; - "Roscoe is nothing to me, Mrs. Arbucklc's last words, "and so I have expected nothing. He was unfortu nate, poor boy, and now his money has been his downfall. If he is guilty he must pay. I feel sorry for his owu kin, that is all All that I ask h that if he ever says again that he did not live here, that you ask him who saved his life; who fed him and clothed him in Santa Clara."

Answer to a General Demand Our New Furniture Department Will Be "Something Different" REFERRING to Brandeis Stores' new furni ture department soon to be opened, the Omaha Examiner says: "This innovation in the Brandeis Stores will be the answer to a general demand of the people of Omaha and vicinity for a furniture emporium of this magnitude filled to over flowing with the best built articles, whether cheap or costly, plain or ornamental, that it is possible to obtain. The addition of this de partment which will be in charge of G. A. Hargrave, formerly with a large department store in New York will make it an easy matter to secure a complete house equip ment at the Brandeis Stores. All these im provements are in accord with the progressive ideas of the Brandeis Stores managers, who believe in keeping pace with growing Omaha, and if possible to keep a little ahead of the town. "Plutarch tells us that when Demosthenes was asked what was the first part of oratory he answered, 'Action,' and which was his sec ond, he replied, 'Action,' and which was the third, he still answered, 'Action.' This may be aptly applied to the business of the Brandeis Stores, whose managers have inva riably believed that the first, second and third parts of successful merchandising is Action, and they have never failed to act in accord ance with their belief."
