SOME LEADING WOMEN The Reformer, Richmond, Va., in an article entitled “Some Leading Wo men,” pays the following tribute to womanhood: Men get their full share of praise for all they do in the business world and say on public questions. Through the ages it has been so. Woman has won for herself high and deserved piaise for what she has done in busi ness circles and for what she has said on all of the great questions before the public, yet she has not received that honor due her. This has been largely because jealous man has not been willing to evenly or justly di vide the honors according to merit. As a rule there are so many men who do not like to give “honor to whom horor is due.” They follow that rule among themselves, and who labor as siduously and hard to cover up the deeds and merits of their fellowmen, because they do not wish them to have the honor due them. Nothing great has been accom plished in the world, in which woman has not played well her part. This has been true of her in all of the past, is true of her in the present and will be true of her in all of the future. She is loyal by nature and a true woman is the last to desert a cause or a friend. She is generally positive and firm. She is naturally ambitious and her ideals are generally high. She believes that she can succeed in everything and that everything should succeed. These qualities make her, as a rule, a good and safe leader. She is the builder and mother of the fam ily of nations. What the nations are with their great men, she made them. England may have had her Living stone, America her George Washing ton, Rome her Julius Caesar, Spain her Christopher Columbus, the Ne gro race her Tourraint L’Overture on one continent and her Fred Douglas on another, but woman reared them all and they owe their existence, their greatness and their honor to her. There has been no greater execu tive in the civilized world, perhaps, than Queen Victoria who ruled so long and so wisely on the throne of Eng land. The rule of Queen Elizabeth will not soon be forgotten by the nations of the earth. Spain enjoyed many years of pros perity under her Queen Dowager. Sarah guided Isaac in the way he should go and Mary directed the early footsteps of Jesus. Nancy Hanks nursed Abraham Lincoln into man hood, Pharaoh’s daughter dragged Moses from among the rushes. Wo man has led in building some of America’s greatest institutions. She has been a leader, she is still a leader. In the home, in the business enter prises, in the church and the frater nal circles her power of leadership is seen and felt. OVERTASKED First Maid—“So you don’t like to work for highbrows?” Second Maid—“You bet I don’t. I worked for one pair of them—and never again! Him and her was fight ing continually, and it kept me run ning back and forth between the key hole and the dictionary all the time.” THIRTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE SEE COLORED FILM Thirteen hundred people witnessed the realistic and beautiful presented movie “The Realization of a Negro’s Ambition” which was presented at the Alhambra and Mecca, Monday and Wednesday night. BREWER’S BLACKBIRD (Euphafua cyanocephalua) Length, ten inches. Its glossy pur plish head distinguishes it from other blackbirds that do not show in flight a trough-shaped tail. Range: Breeds in the West, east to Texas, Kansas, and Minnesota, and north to southern Canada; winter^ over most of the United States breed ing range, south to Guatemala. Habits and economic status: Very numerous in the West and in fall gathers in immense flocks, especially about barnyards and corrals. During the cherry season in California Brew er’s blackbird is much in the orchards. In one case they were seen to eat free ly of cherries, but when a neighboring fruit raiser began to plow his orchard almost every blackbird in the vicinity was upon the newly opened ground and close at the plowman's heels in its eagerness to get the insects exposed by the plow. Caterpillars and pupae form the largest item of animal food (about 12 per cent). Many of these are cutworms, and cotton boll worms or corn earworms were found in ten stomachs and codling-moth pupae in 11. Beetles constitute o’ .*r 11 per cent of the food. The vegetable food is practically contained in three items —grain, fruit, and weed seeds. Grain, mostly oats, amounts to 54 per cent; fruit, largely cherries, 4 per cent; and weed seeds, not quite 9 per cent. The grain is probably mostly wild, vol unteer, or waste, so that the bird does most damage by eating fruit. ---- To Rent, Sell, Huy or Exchange] Real Estate ; Call or See ] Morgan) I Doug. 2466 1916 Cuming St. j 4—•--•••••*••'4 {Good Cleaning I Ladies and Gents Garments Cleaned Pressed, Dyed and Repaired at REASONABLE PRICES Hals Cleaned and Re-Blocked Work Called for and Delivered Omaha Dress Club Doug. 3660 2225 Cuming St. 4 All Work Guaranteed Visit the Hamilton Paint & Glass Co. 1517 Howard St. Tel.
