Former Teacher in Omaha Schools Is Happy, Though Now an Invalid —*— -1-11 ii i———— Loses Athletic vigor,'But En joys Work Among Foreign Students. Hy 4. V. ARMSTRONG. Happiness is a state of mind, and it can be maintained despite the most distressing tribulations. If you doubt It. consider the case of Carrie F. Kraus, 1315 E street. Ten years ago Miss Kraus was an athletic, out-door girl; the kind of a girl who radiates good cheer and laughs happily on slight provoca tion. Today, Miss Kraus still radiates cheer and laughs easily; but she is tto longer active. For she Is no long er able to walk, and doctors say they can do little to aid her. The accident occurred In 1917. Miss Kraus was bathing at Hake Okobuji. . lAughing gayly, she started to slide down the long, slippery chute into the lake. Her arm struck against one of the braces at the side of It. A triple fracture resulted, and when she etruck the water she was help less. Spinal Trouble Result. A young man with whom she had been ewimming rescued her. But a doctor was hard to find, and finally • he was brought to Omaha without having received medical treatment. Here the arm mended, but two years later the nervous shock of the acci dent developed a spinal trouble which has made it impossible for her to walk. Thus was the bright future of an active young girl suddenly narrowed to that of an Invalid. But Miss Kraus did not despair. She had lived all her life in South Omaha, was ed | t-cated at South High rfrhool and knew the needs of foreign-born resi dents there. Moreover, her parents are Bohem ian; and she spoke that language flu ently. She also spoke German. She is a graduate of Peru Noj-mal school, and at the time she was injured was a teacher in the Omaha schools. So, Instead of folding her hands In hopeless resignation, she began leaching the young men and women tiie English language, throwing in a d3sh of Americanism whenever pos sible. "There wasn't any trouble getting pupils," explained Miss Kraus. TWO FARM FIRES NEAR COLUMBUS Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Columbus, Neb., May 10.—Fire, be lieved to have been started by email children playing with matches in the barn of the, Roy Furby farm, south west of Genoa, Neb., resulted in the destruction of all farms and buildings, with the exception of the farm home.

"These young people from abroad are so eager to learn, and the word that I was willing to help them with their English traveled rapidly. Finds Pupil' Interesting. "The work doesn’t tire me, either, although I am not strong. It Is so interesting, and my pupils are so thankful. In my class now are two women from Russia, one of whom is married. Then there is a young man named Emil Kostka, who speaks four languages and is a graduate of a continental university. I have to be very careful of my own English when these pupils are here.'" Miss Kraus lias had her hair bobbed. She likes bobbed hair, and sees no reason why she shouldn’t en joy its comforts as well as others. "Of course I still have hope that some physician may cure me,’’ con cluded jyss Kraus. "But I am not building my hnppiness on that hope. One can be happy after realizing that happiness is a state of mind. And I am happy.” SHOE STOCKS TO BE SOLD Thousands await announce ment of sale of the Regent stock; inquiries by phone and mail have been coming to Hayden Brothers, asking the time when the mam moth Regent Shoe stock will be offered for sale.
