EU3TIS' SUCCESS STORY
men of genuine nobility and i
fineness-
William Henry Eustis died ;
the other day in Minneapolis;
at the age of 83. Although j
he was well known in the
northwest, his fame could j
hardly be said to be country-;
wide; yet his life was one oCj
those lives that give one a j
new faith in human nature.
At 15 an accident made him
a cripple. He was too poverty- (
stricken to get proper treat
ment, so he dedicated his life |
to the task of earning $1,000,-
00 with which he could endow
a hospital for crippled child-
ren.
He gained his goal. Educat-
ing himself despite his handi-
caps, he became a lawyer and
then entered the real estate
field, rolling up a large for-
tune. And before his death hej
dedicated his entire wealth—
$1,500,000—to the construc-
tion and maintenance of a hos-
pital where children crippled
as he was crippled can receive
care.
Very likely you never heard
of him before; but don't you
agree that the story of what
he did makes inspiring read-
ing?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.- If you
ask them, as not so many people do,
hotel employes, chambermaids, ele-
vator boys, waiters, porters and
floor clersk, aren't so all in an ec-
stacy about the return of the native
congressman and senator from his
great open spaces as might lie ex-
pected. •! -•- -"~

Washington hotel employes know
the genui' congressman™-his babies
customs, prospects, even more than
one might think, for at least 50 per
ccnt ot l^ltese, Jp'jnpGrury residents of
the capftdt live"in hotels during the
congressional term.
A larger percentage ql .rtspresen-
tatives live in iiotels than senator:-!,
which, considering minimum hotel
rates of $30 a wef)k for every mem-
ber of the family, and average rent-
als of $50 a week, 'seems strange,
till one begins inquiring about
house arid apartment rents. Then
one understands wli^ Mr. Congress-
man tolc Us lo the h of els. while Mr.
Senator has his house.
Hotel employes list their causes
for dlsaitisfaetion according to
their own jobs. iClevator boys, for
instance, say tliat their speed is ap-
preciably decreased after (lie con-
girssmen return, and1 that lesser

"They're so gabby,"' oiie vaseline-
haired sheik confided. "Tliey're al-
ways seeing somebody tliey know
just as the elevator stops, and they
in. Then they go through all this
have to stop and talk before getting
monkey business of jockeying
around, trying to decide who'll icet
aboard first;"

Chambermaids display, a. becom-
ing reticence but indicate (fiat they
eoujd "write volumes" if encour-
aged. Causes of complaint seem
to range from the congressional
custom of always kicking the sheets
up from the bottom ot' tjie bed, ne-
cessitating a complete bed overhaul-
ing every day. to charges even more
i heinous.
"I suppose they have so much on
their minds that they can't sleep
(juiet like other people," one naive
. maid philosophised, "(jut they don't
■ use their ash ir:iys, either."
I "It's because ' tliey(j come from
. .such funny places and aj,n't ,so used
lo hotels," supplemented tit - desk
lady who had brought Kvse. the
chambermaid, up for moral support
in the interview.

people have always told Iier what

with those two bririds o£ tuilr nwlilfl-
ing like two horsetails, and If some-
body says 'you don't see hair Hk,e
that these days!' she thinks she's
drawn a swell compliment."
It seems, too, that the wives of
the men on the hill have the Bame
annoying habit of trying out their
lipstick shades on the wall paper
as have lesser ladies.
"And they expect so much for the
same money as other folks pay!"
one waiter confided. "If you have
a special dinner with choice of sweet
potatoes with pork chop or roast
beet with creamed potatoes, they
always want to know it they can't
have the sweet pojfitoes with the
roast beef."
Head waiters look bored at the
very mention of their congressional
inmates. There seem to be about 20
in the city's swankiest hotel. The
head waiter has served the world's
j great. His pedigree extends back
i to a grandfather who baked cakes

Pierre, which isn't his name, for
he refuses to be quoted, says that
he has never met a congressman
yet who got through a meal with-
out missing on liis manners at least
once.
"Some of them know enough to
dip their soup away from thei£
face," he confided, "but they're the
ones who use their salad fork for
the oysters and seem to think the
oyster fork's a toothpick. If they
