The same picture met his eyes, but was probably more pronounced. He left the basket among the tears of the happy woman, whc aaid, "Oh, you are so good to me. I have always loved the Salvation Army, but oh, how I love It now. Had it not been for you I would have had no Christmas dinner. Thank you, oh, thank you, and God bless you." The man left only to renew his trip which took him to many other homes, which were almost equally as wretched When asked last night if the homes were dirty, ha said : "Oh, no, oh no, far from it. They were in bad coudition. but everything was neat as work could make it, and things were clean, yes clean." ' An other soldier in the Army was also commissioned to t i';t a "basket tc a family on the Souiii The fam ily's name was handed to tho Army be cause they deserved all the help that could be given them. The house was humble. The father- was proud, ill and only able to earn the smallest .of wages. Nine children graced the, fai 1 Uy circle, and all were made glad when the basket Was handed them. Their thanks were profuse, while a message of good will was handed them by tha soldier. A home was visited on North 16th street. The husb'id was crippled and unable to work. A thirteen-months-old baby nestled in the arms of its mother, while one little child lay on a sick bed suffering with measles. Still another home was visited, near Main street on Ninth. It was a home but still not a home. Only one little room was used. It served as a kitchen, bed room dining room and parlor to the sweet-faced old lady who dwells there. She is known for her charita- J bleness towards others, even thor;h she herself is in utmost tneed. She often sends little trinkets to the headquarters of the Salvation Army, with the hope that it will make someone else happy. She has been known to she herself is in utmost need. She people might be made happy, by the giving thereof. She was without food when the soldier reached her home yesterday and the small basket was received midst a shower of thanks and tears. The work on Christmas day was well done, and when asked last night as to the condition of the poorer classes of Richmond, a worker stated: "There are many poor families in the city who are, in actual need. In fact but few people realize the destitute conditions of many homes. The majority of the people of Richmond do not tajie time to investigate the needs of the worthy poor, as they are so absorbed in their own interests. The people here, however, are waking up to the work we aro doing and I believe many of them are in hearty sympathy with our work; and will in time do all they can to aid us."

Local Pharmacist Says That Wholesalers Impose on Physicians Just the Same as They Do Upon Retailers After Pure Drugs.

Druggists about the State who are now aiding the State authorities in their efforts to serve the people with pure drugs, are asking that the investigations which have been made by the state chemist extend to the drugs which are sold by the physicians of the State as well as themselves. A local druggist stated yesterday that it was often true that doctors gave impure drugs to their patients. He said: , "The druggist is not the only one who is imposed upon by the wholesaler of drugs. Many doctors in Rich mond prepare their own medicines, and the same deceptions that are practiced on us by the .wholesale dealer, are practiced on them. The result Is that they do not have any purer drugs than any one else." FUNERAL OF JESSE DEAN Former Economy Resident Who Met Death In a Tragic Manner was Buried at Sugar Grove.

As a Christmas gift, Theodore Wright, once a foremost financier and railroad man, was today released from the Burn Brae Hospital for the Insane at Clifton. Wrights release followed a, bitter legal struggle against his own family which he carried on single handed except for the aid of Attorney Thomas Earle White, a member of the Reform Committee of Seventy, to whom he had smuggled a letter from the asylum. His own family, grown confident of his insanity reversed their position and today for the first time In ten years Wright ate Christmas dinner as a free man. Theodore Wright was a member of the shipping firm of Peter Wright and Sons and president and heaviest stockholder in the Winifred railroad in Virginia. He was regarded as one of the best business men in Philadelphia. He disappeared quietly ten years ago and it was long before Mr. Wrights friends learned what had become of him. Gradually the story leaked out that his son, Minturn B. Wright had placed him in an asylum. Nothing more was heard from Wright for ten years. Then he managed to communicate with Attorney White and after a terrific legal struggle was declared sane. Certain members of the Wright family became convinced of his sanity and Mrs. Frances Davis a sister of Wright, residing in Colorado, arrived in this city and going to Burn Brae, took her brother away with her. Wright Is a brother of James Wright who is manager of the American line steamers. He is worth, it is estimated, about ten millioa dollars.

The Caterpillar. The caterpillar spends his life in trying to keep out of everybody's way. Some species hide on the under surface of leaver, others on the stems or blades of grass, wThich serve them as food; others again build little nests for concealment or else they lie snugly hidden between the curled edges of leaves, which they draw close together until the opposite edyes meet. The caterpillar is a sociable creature In his own family. He knows that there is safety in numbers, and you will find whole conipauies feeding side by side while keeping a sharp lookout for their bird enemies, but when a caterpillar is by himself he scarcely dares to move for fear of attracting attention. Evei; when he is obliged to change his skin he doesn't venture to leave his old coat lying around. The moment that he takes it off he eats it. The caterpillars that live In companies shed their skin boldly. Only the poor solitary fellows feel forced to swallow their old clothes.
