THE OMAHA DAII..Y BEE : SUNDAY , APRIL 10 , 181)8. NORA'S EASTER HATS. ' Why the Large Leghorn Pint , Covered With Buttercups and Lit- ) tie Yellow Ostrich Tips , Was Never Bought. } BY AMY DARCY WBTMOUE. I. "Yea , I have made up my mind to have the- very prettiest hat to be seen In church at Easter , " eald Nora In her most positive manner , which gained her covert admiration at ncliool , but a good deal of quiet snubbing In the homo circle. " 01 dear , " replied Edyth , slightly envious , "I wish 1 could say the same but where will you get It ? " "Well , " declared iNora more modestly , "you ee I deserve something , for I have worn this old alpine hat all the year to church and school and everywhere , and now that my aunt has acnt mo a great big , big check , mother says that 1 may spend It as I please and so I will get the hat , aad then Allco ( High can take down her sails a bit. " "Sho has talked awfully about your hat anrl coat , too , this season , " continued Edyth unwisely , but not without mild Joy In giving a little take down io her over-elated school mate. "Horrid , spiteful thing , Just as If It waa not too mean to notice my hat this year. I'm sure times are hard with everybody and mother let mo go to dancing school aud belong to the Saturday skating rink and gave me new skates , so she really could not afford mo a hat for best and school too , and able to attend school this season , and lately her father toi * met with misfortunes and lost hla money. Ho has now taken a position In another city , where he hopes after awhllo to take his family. "Poor Lily , however , has become very much worae , and In the last few weeks lung trouble has developed to mich an extent that only change to a milder climate will do her any god. Indeed she should bo away now , for the doctor holds out no other hope for her ultimate recovery except this a com- r-lcte change of air. Poor Mrs. Dale Is heart broken. She has nothing but a few dollars lars her husband sends each week , and all this winter , since iho lost his money , they have been obliged to sell their -things. Only by the kindness of friends are they enabled to pay the rent of the Hiiall house they now occupy. Naturally Lily's going away means also her mother ani' ' taby Molly , so there It stands , and Lily's life depends upon a trip , and there Is not the wherewithal to manage It. To stay at a health resort Is dearer even , when traveling expenses arc paid , than to live at hcme , and they would have to remain , even If Lily grew better , until the summer. Now , , I simply state the facts , and will only add that should any of you like to make an Easter offering here Is the opportunity. A box will bo placed upon the hall table , and those who wUh to put In something can do so , and no one need know what Is given. I really .would prefer not to be told , EDYTtf RALLIED'HER ABOUT BEING so QUIET. I think alpine hats are always In good taste , " answered -Nora , really very much hurt and on the defensive. "Never mind , " consoled ( Edyth , "tell me what klod of a hat you will get. " Nora 'brightened up , as her thoughts were again turned upon this most engrossing hat subject. "Why , you see , " she said , "I shall Ket something to wear with any color , and so I will have a large leghorn flat , covered with buttercups , and would you have narrow black velvet or white ribbon , and eomo little yellow ostrich tips like the flowers ? Or would you have' white feathers and .big watered ribbon loops of pale pink ? " But Just ithen the cruel bell rang , a d recess was over before Edyth could quite take In all the eplendld details. "How lovely ! " she cried. "O , It will bo simply Ideal , ' as sister Grace would Bay. " The days went on , and the great festival ot 'the year was approaching , and although "Mrs. " Loring , Nora's mother , would llko to have thought that her little daughter had anything else In her mind but the talked ot hat , she could see no sign of It. She often felt sorry that , she had given her child , per mission to spend all the check her aunt had eent her In such an unwlso manner , but aho could not now take back her promise. So she. determined to await results , feeling sure that In the end Nora would prove to have more ecnse than eho appeared to have , .and that she also would show a kind and generous heart , could she out overcome her vanity. The girls , too , * t echool wcro all more or lesa thrilled , for none of them were so rich that a YiaB from Mmc. le Taste's could ( all to Inspire with awe , but many ot them were envloue as well. Only Edyth'e Interest never waned , Indeed being with Nora so much ho felt that some glory would be re flected upon her , and she frequently spoke of the hat to the other girls , and thus posted them , when Nora was not present , ne to what Ita shape , trimming and color would be , as Nora's mind varied considerably upon these Important points. II. I ' On Monday before Easter , Just as echool waa to be dismissed , Miss May , the favorite teacher , begged the girls' attention for a few minute * . "My dears , " Bho eald , "I want to tell you bout the sad case of one of your former schoolmates. Many of you remember little Lily Dale , who was hero a year ago , but perhaps you have lost sight of her In this busy time. She 'has ' bean delicate and not hut In this way a sum nwy be raised In the next few days that , when added to' the little collected already In the. school from the teachers , will be a great help , and per- hapa who knows may prolong Lily's life. The echool Is now dismissed. Many and various remarks were made by the girls as they rushed out Into the open air , all greatly Impressed with the need ot the case. " "I shall certainly bring at least a dollar , " cried Alice High , the richest girl l < n the school. "And I , " "And I , " .chimed In others who would only have to ask their fathers for the money. . "I never thought about an Easter offer ing. " sighed Edyth , "or else I might have saved my allowance , Perhaps mamma will advance It , or I can borrow something from sister Grace. " Nora said nothing , and even when Edyth rallied her about being so quiet , murmured something about a headache and hurried home. "An Easter offering ! " How It rang In her ears. What could she give that would be worth giving ? Alas ! nothing but the money for tbo hat ! She was miserable , ber long-talked-of grandeur eecmed to vanish ; the check was weighed In the balance against Lily's health , possibly her life. What must she do ? Ah ! ehe , knew from tbe first only too well. The hat must be given up ; the eacrlflca must be made , and all 'summer ' she would have to wear her old sailor , Just as ehe bad worn her alpine the past months. It .never occurred to her for an. Instant that ehe might com promise the question and give half or even a third. No. It would bo all or none ; no other hat but tbe ono her fancy had so long dwelt upon would satisfy her , and only the check Intact could purchase tbat. True , she need not glvo It no one would expect It ; she had never cared particularly about Lily , who was younger , anyhow , and In lower classes. And yet , when she thought what Easter meant , and of the story of Good Friday , how could she hesitate ? Poor little Lily , coughing ber life away , because , forsooth , Bho must have a "smarter" bat ttian any one else In church on Easter. Nora was face to face with a problem hard to solve , and yet with but cue right answer , and that ehe realized. Why think of It ? "Farewell , vain pomp and glory of the world , " she quoted to herself , for Nora did love beautifully turned sen tences , Just as she adored gorgeously trim med headgear. She did not tell her mother , though naturally they noticed ber dullness at borne FREE BOOK FOR WEAK MEN.

" "And thtn the great hot deal , " exclaimed Charlie , but Nora did not tumble Into radi ancy as usual , only looked more tad , "Don't lease her , " begged tier father ; "nhe Is tired , and has been bothering oVtr her loesons. I am going to glvo you both u dollar on Easter so , cheer up. " "Hip ! hip ! hlpl 'rttil 'rtd Tab ! " hhouled Charlie , but Nora only got up and kissed her father and thanked him , "Have you endorsed your check , dear ? " ho asked. "Yes , papa , on ttio back as you told me "Nora did that at once. " explained her mother , "though I told her better wall until she' was ready to spend It. But , my dear , on Wednesday , after school , we will EO to Mme. le Taste's and order the bat tiat Is. If you have finally decided upon the kltid that you want. " Nora muttered , "Yc , mother , " and then asked If the could be excused , and left the table , ostensibly to etudy ; her lessons. III. The two following days at school were ordeals for 'Nora , and only a headache , which eho literally had from worry , kept her from being teased unmercifully , for aho positively refused to discuss either Lily's illness or the hat. Edyth thought that she acted very strangely , but said nothing , not even when she saw Nora continually look- ins at her check , which phc now carried with her In her small pocketbook. She could not bear to let It out cf her sight , nor could she make up her mlntl to cast It Into the fatal box. Some of the girls , who apparently had na objection to their left hatuls knowIng - Ing what their right hands wcro doing , would conspicuously put their offerings In the box , and beast of It afterward. But no one could discover If Nora had given anything. "So mean , " murmured the girls , always suspi cious. "When she had such a big check one- mlsht spare BO cents for poor little Lily , " and although Edyth alro thought BO she was too loyal to Nora to admit It , and defended her to the girls by saying that such a hat as Mora wanted would cost every penny of the check. No one ever Imagined that all or nothing was what Nora was trying to decide. At last Wednesday came , the school holl- daya began , and the girls with their arms laden with books rushed merrily away , fol lowed moro slowly by Edyth and Nora. "Como on ! " cried Edyth , tcsslng her books In the air , "I am to go with you after dinner to the madam's , you promised , and you , mother , won't object como on ! " But Nora still loitered , "Go along , Edyth , " she said desperately , "I must go back for some thing. " "Let me como 'with you. " "O , no , no , do go , " for the time had como when the decision must be nwde , now or never must the check EO in the box. So hurrying away and leaving Edyth hurt and surprised outride , she ran In. managed to squeeze the check In the opening of the box , Just as ehe heard one of the'teaehers coming down stairs , then she came out and Joined Edyth on the pavement. She said nothing and finally Edyth left In a huff , declaring Nora was "too hateful and airy for words , " and she "would not go with her about the hat or take any more Interest 4n It. " Just as well , thought Nora , sadly , yet on the whole she felt glad that she had dcue It ; she only wondered what her , mjthcr would say , for somehow she could not .ell even BJyth' , It looked llko bragging. Mra. Loring was touched when he heard the story , but did not overpraise her little girl , only eald : "Dear , you have made me so happy , and such an Easter offering will be accepted , made with such a generous spirit. " She promised to tell her father , and not to allow Charlie to tease her , and she advised her to write to EJyth explaining matters. She also added that she and Charlie could go to the- country for a few dajva and spend them with grandmama , re turning on Easter eve to their home. This , she thought , would be a pleasant change , for bpth the children loved to visit their grand mother In the old-fashioned country house , and packing their bags and getting ready gave them great fun. Nora at onro , bega-.i to look moro.llko . her old self , anJ Charlie look his Joy out In prolonged and not-vary uualcal yells. Easter dawned bright and fair. Nora and Charlie accompanied their parents to the beautiful early service in the old church , and Nora felt , as she listened to the joyous music , and noticed the fragrancy of the gorgeous flowers , that she was far happier In her old sailor hat thau If her thoughts had been distracted by a new one , when poor Lily was so 111. But perhaps sonic would like' to know that In spite of Nora's noble gift she did not have to wear her old hat again to the later service In the church , for her mother had provided a pretty , simple-summer one , far SHE MANAGED TO SQUEEZE THE CHECK IN THE OPENING OP THE BOX. more suitable for a little girl than the brilliant ono she and 'Edyth ' had planned through the last school term. Although Nora and her family did not tell of the gift , It leaked out through Etlytli and MUs May , who were overjoyed at Nora's gen erosity. It had a good effect , too , for other Easter offerings followed , and so much was collected that Lily , her mother and little sister were soon settled comfortably at a sanitarium , from where grateful letters came often , telling of Lily's Improvement and gradual recovery , thanks to the noble gifts ot which .Nora's was the'best and the greatest.

In the eyes of a boy who collects birds' eggs therp IB no object so precious and co beautiful perhaps as a modest looking white shell .touched wltb brown spots and proven to bo that of a great auk or garefowl. Two hundred years ago , to people who lived along the rocky coast of Malno or up In the Scotch Islands , thcso eggs and the ungainly mother auk who laid them were not unusual eights , for at that time great auks were plentiful enough In those regions and collectors of birds' eggs were few and far between. Nowadays , however , the person who says he or she has seen a great auk alive Is likely to have their veracity openly doubted , while any ono who possesses an egg laid by this big sea fowl is considered a very lucky to- dividual Indeed. Fifty years ago a few eca- farlag men shot great auks In ttio cold aeas of northern Europe ; finally , about 1821 , the lost one positively seen was captured and today its stuffed body Is In the British museum , but for thirty years at least not a ilngle great auk has been taken , and In consequecco the few remaining eggs of these birds have year by year become more and more precious. Seventy-five years since a great auk'e eggs at auction would ( etch about $100 end the hcada of museums become very eager to secure good specimens , but , as only about seventy eggs remained In all Europe , their price/ / began to go Steadily up , In tbe year of 1S30 or thereabouts an Englishman , a great student ot natural history and the possessor of quite an elaborate private museum , bought some blrdiV eggs of a ficb- erman's wife on the French coast. Among tbe sea mew and gull eggi he secured was one. One speckled tfcell , easily recognized as that ot a great auk. He paid only $1 for the perfect specimen , took It to London and ia couree ot tlm It w told tor f 105 , Four years ago the waia < egR was put up at auction In London andict wealthy gentleman did not hesitate to My f 1,000 for the perfect ehell. A damaged CKB dtiauctlon brought 1915 , while an nuk's skit da world 11,800. In nil about cevcuty-two eklns ot this bird remain , nine skeletons and a 'few loose bones. The Museum of Natural I History In New York City poesce&es a hAndtorao stuffed okln , but only two of the valuable eggs are owned In America , ! So great , however-Js the Interest In auk eggs that the muacums have plaster ca&ts of them , trade wUu tbe greatest care , from the finest egg In Europe , exhibited In the museum of Liverpool , Tills oholl Is not only spotted , but prettily streaked lu brown on He creamy surface and Its value Is esti mated as high as $2,000.

So great Indeed Ja the lotercnt felt by students of natural hls- story In ICils big sea bird that has become extinct In ouc century that books have besti filled wllti Its history. When Nansen c t out on hla polar expedition a stiacp lookout was kept for the great auk , since there are persons who believe that a few lonely speci mens still exist somewhere up In the Arctic circle , and tliat keen eycii caa still find Its eggs , worth so many times their weight in gold. nov mounts m r Tic XAVV.

" 'Much has been said about the discipline and superb heroism displayed by William 'Anthony , an orderly of marines , on beard ot the Maine at the time she was blown up. It is related that when Captain Slgsbee reached the deck after the explosion tlio first person ho met was William Anthony. In the semi-darkness , lit by the flanuo of the burftlng ship and pierced by shrleku and grcans , ho saw Orderly Anthony come to a "present arms" as > calmly as If It wcro diesis parade , and heard him say In the oven tones of perfect discipline : "Sir , I have to Inform you that the ship has been blown up and Is slaking. " When asked about thla Instance of cool courage and superb presence of mind , this specimen of American manhood said : " 0 , that's noth ing ; any Yankee xnarlne would do that. " The American navy has many tucli ex amples of dc-eda of daring and discipline which should live In American history. A ; ) Interesting Incident U , related of a brave boy who was on board the steam sloop Vcrono , ten guns , Captain Charles S. Hoggs , com mander , during Admiral Farragut's fight at New Orlcanu In April , 1SC2. The Md , who answered to the name of Oscar , was but 13 yeartt'of ' age , but ; he had an old head on his tihoultlero and was alert and energetic. Dur ing the hottest ot the .fire with > theconfeder- , ' ate lleothe , was.lbu3lly engaged-In passing' ammunition to the 'gunners , and narrowly escaped death when one of-the terrific broad. sKea 'of the confederate steamer Governor Moore , ' 'Commander ' Beverly Kennon , was poured In. Covered with dirt and begrimed with powder , O ar was met by Captain Boggs , who asked him where he was going In such a hurry. "To iget a passing -box , Mr ; the other one was smashed by a ball. " And so throughout the fight the brave lad held his place and did his duty. When the Verona went down under the terrific fire of shot and shell and ramming of the Governor Moore , Captain Boggs missed his boy and thought he was among the vic tims of the battle. But a few minutes afterward he saw the lad gallantly swim ming toward the wreck. Clambering on. board of Captains Uoggo' boat , he threw hla hand up to his forehead , giving the usual mlute and uttering the words , "All right , sir. I report myielf on board , " passed coolly to his station. Robert Gumming , a falr-halrcd boy of 14 years , good looking end Interesting , was the hero of the Harriet Lane , when she was cap tured at Galvcston , Tex. , on January 1 , 1863 , and was au brave and cool In danger as Oscar. He was of Scottish parents , his father being a machinist , who died before "the 'breaking out of the war at Pattereon , N. J. , his mother , a poor washerwoman , re siding In Philadelphia , whore she wan partly supported by half her eon's wages duly re mitted to her since he entered the United Statesoervlce. . Robert entered the service CD a drummer boy in Colonel Moorhead's Thirty-second regiment , Pennsylvania volun- teerp. and remained In 'that position until -regiment was mui'tered out of service. He then enlisted as a "messenger boy" en board the Harriet Lane , and won the good will of her officers by his pluck , good humor and vivacity. When the attack occurred In front of Galveston , and the storm of bullets was pouring down on the over-matched crew from the cotton bulwarks of the Neptune and Bayou City , as the federal wounded men were carried below , the lad picked up two of their fallen revolvers , and taking his place upon the quarterdeck blazed away at the Invadlns confederates , firing at them every charge of both weapons , and then hurling them overboard. As It Is said the confederates clustered thick as bees on the cotton bales. It Is believed "every shot must have told.1 'Robert was subsequently wounded In the hand by a musket ball , when momentarily his spirit gave way. SurrenderIng - Ing with the rest , be shared tjie fortunes of the paroled officers , naturally becoming a great favorite with them , nnd messing at their table during their journey through the Interior of Texas to bo conveyed to New Orleans via Rod rlrer. He was on board the Kensington ati that city when he became acquainted with Cptnnvmder Meade , and was afterwards taken under his especial care. Another young hero .wan a lad named Moul- ins. on the gunboat ) Queen of the West , at Gordon's Landing , mar the mounth of the Red river. When itho confederate batteries opened on the Queoni of the West , Moullng , a mere child , checkefl-.tho confusion on board , where the shot and ( shell were hissing and screamlnz In dangerous proximity 'to the heads of the crewmnd three distinguished journalists Flnley Undersoil , correspondent of the New York Ilorald , Mv. Bodman of the Chicago Tribune and Joseph McCullagh ( "Mack" ) of the Clnolnnatl Commercial. At this time no oim thought of saving the boat. The etcam chdat was penetrated , and It needed all thelrx'cxertions to save them selves. Some leaped' overboard and were drowned. Others tumbled cotton bales Into the river and attempted to float with the current. Mr. Anderson escaped on a cotton bale. Bodman swung himself from the hur ricane roof and reached the De Soto In a skiff. McCullagh sought a cotton bale , and debated whether ho houM trust hli portly tody upon It. While thus engaged the bale flouted beyond his reach , and Immediately thereafter a shell nllghtcd upon U , and , ex ploding , blow It Into a thousand fragments. "Mack" seized another bale , and reached the Do Soto In safety. Colonel Ellet , the com mander , .escaped In like manner , and the crew training on board surrendered the vessel. While the battle was raging Moullng , aptly known among his companions as "Cap tain Webb , " swam about In the cold water llko A great Newfoundland dog , picking up the struggling officers and men and helping them to places of safety. When ho jumped over the gunboat's side he struck a piece ot timber , and disfigured his face BO fearfully that Colonel Ellet could not recognize htm. The lad , however , being arked how ho came by his Injuries , replied , with the usual salute , that he had had "a whack on the head , " and so went on helping his com panions out of the water.
