"Suffer the llttlo children to come unto
jno , " said Christ nearly nineteen centuries
ago ,
The physical nnd earthly embodiment of
this simple and touching saying In Omalm ,
St. James' orphanage , stands upon a roll ot
the prairies near Henson a substantial
building of a roail branching from the old
California trull nnd about ono > ojghth of a
mlla from It. The .building U three etorlcs
In height , of brick and perhaps l5o feet long
by 45 wide. It IB situated on a gently slop
ing bill which rises somewhat higher than
thOBo around It.
The situation commands a view such as
makes the heart of a Nebrasltan glad , To
the west , north and southwest stretch out
the long rolling billows of the prairies ,
topped hero and there with larmhSuees and
buildings or clumps of trees. Near by ls
IJensou , "with Its cluster ot buildings , the
nohool and church eplrea standing out from
cunong them. To the cast nud toward the
south lies the city , scattering and then
thrown together In a bunch , belter skelter ,
one may "iiy. Far off Ho the 'bluffs ' of Iowa ,
the long thread of tbo Missouri at their base.
The orphanage Itself Is severely plain and
occupied the center of the ton ocrca that belong -
long to the Institution. Two wings ( lank It ,
ono on the north nnd the other on the south ,
nnd a long extension runs from the center
toward the west. The grounds are not
adorned , but turned into a hugo playground ,
where the homeless tots may enjoy themselves -
solves to their hearts' coutent. Here ihey
upend the playtime of bright Uaj6 aa cheer
fully and Joyously as thogo more fortunately
situated. Toward the eatt Btauds a statue
of St. Vincent , holding a llttlo child in his
arms , nhllo another stands by his aide. The
whole scene Impresses oue with tbe thought
that comfort has not been sacrificed to ap
pearance ,
Tbo interior of tbo building is a picture of
ncatneio. Long , cool corridors extend on
each Bide. The tloors are composed of bard ,
highly polished pines , Intd double , and the
corridors and closets are wainscoted with
whlto pine painted a subdued color. The
etructuro contains forty-six rooms. There
are a number cf stairways nnd outlets , doing
away with all danger in case of fire or ac
cident. The basement contains eighteen
rooms. Hero are the recreation rooms for
inclement weather , the bays on the north
and the girls on thesouth. . Hath ami wash
rooms are adjuncts. North cf the boys' room
is the kindergarten for the tiniest tots. Hero
they felt upon wee chairs and pass the time
In song and play , A door leads from the
girls' room Into the sewing room , where the
Bisters glvo Instruction In eon Ing during the
evening. They are kept busy , for rlpa nnd
( care continually need repairing , not to men
tion the stockings which encaseso many
pairs of active , youthful legs. In the west
/extension ot the basement is tbo dining
room , large , well lighted nnd cool , Tablea
varying in height and weight , with long
benches , occupy the room. The tables are
covered with pretty tableclotbes and set with
substantial cups , saucers and dishes. The
larger girls take turns in caring for the
rooms and tables and wash and put away
the dishes in an adjoining pantry. The
kitchen lies next. Tlio laundry Is In the
south wing and la thoroughly equipped. The
Elstero nro helped In tbo work by the girls
as far as they are able. Adjoining is the
furnace room , the 'boiler being kept heated
all the while , this being necessary because
the water Is obtained by pumping frosn a
deep well. During the winter the building
is heated by steam.
The first floor Is taken up with dormi
tories. As In the basement tbo north end
is the boys' division and tbo south thegirls' .
The main roams are occupied with two rowa
of iron bedsteads painted blue. Those- ad
joining the girls' division cotitaln the small
cribs nnd cradles belonging to the Infants ,
The first floor of the west end contains the
chapels , eightyofeet In length and sixty-five
In width. Memorial windows till the sldoa
of the rcom , The parlors , simply and neatly
furnished , Ho about the entrance.
The north cud of the second floor la utilized
for school purposes and Is divided into sev
eral rooms furnished w'lth desks and the
usual echool room paraphernalia. The south
end of the floor Is used for the apartments
of the orpbanago priest and the sisters.
There uro thirteen sisters in charge under
the immcdato supervision of Sister Mary
Vincent. Father Carroll is the orphanage
priest.
All the children , except the smallest , rlso
at C a. in. The day la suitably divided be
tween work and recreation. School houra
are practically the same as prevail In the
city schools and the course of study similar
to that of the graded schools. Where excep
tional adaptability is apparent special In
struction la given in music and other
branches.
When boys reach the ago of 12 .years
homes are found for them , while glrla may
remain till they are 1C or 18 ,
The cornerstone ot the orphanage was laid
September 17 , 1S90 , and the building was
completed and opened in the fall of the
following year. During several preceding
years the children bad been cared for at
the Castcllar street convent. Before that
the orpbanago was located at Twenty-fourth
and St. Mary's nvcnuo. The land on which
the present building stands In not encum
bered , but tbero is a dabt of $40,000 on tbo
building , tbo original cost of which was
$00,000. The institution has no regular
source of revenue , depending solely upon
tbo contributions of friends for its main
tenance.
The orphanage is doing an Immense
amount of good for the orphans of tbo city
and for those who are perhaps worse off
those whoso parents cannot or will not take
care ot them. A charge of from ? 3 to $8
per month Is made for such cases. The
parents promise to pay , but only rarely is
the promise fulfilled. In addition tbo orphanage -
phanago effects a big saving to tbo county
and on this account Its friends think they
are Justified in asking the business men
and taxpayers of the city to support by con
tribution and otherwise tbo fair , which will
ho held for its benefit beginning on Mon
day , November 0 , in the roof garden , Six
teenth and Haruey streets. It will continue
two weeks.

A Severe Cold.
"A very simple measure lu the very be
ginning ot a cold , " says the Baltimore , O. ,
News , "is to take a hot bath until the
perspiration la established , and then wrap
tbo body In two or three warm , dry blank
ets In a warm room , eo that there will bo
free perspiration for an hour. The body
should then bo rubbed and dried , and the
individual should go to bed without any
exposure , and remain thcro from 12 to 3G
hours , or until the symptoms of tbe cold
have entirely disappeared , " If you should
venture out before 'he end of 30 hours
you would bo almost certain to contract a
worse cold and porhapa pneumonia. Would
it not be better to take a tablespoonful
( four times tbo usual dose ) of Chamber
lain's Cough Ileraedy Just before going to
btd That would effectually break up the
cold , Then you could go about your busi
ness as usual without any fear of pneumonia
as it counteracts any tendency ot a cold to
result in that dangerous disease.

The queer business signs and the peculiar
names abounding in Omaha , as well n in
every other large city , nro worth observa
tion , Sometimes the interest centers In the
name of the llrm or of the man , again it
may bo In the special significance of the
name as applied to the business , or it maybe
bo In tbo awkward construction ot the sign ,
A north side shoemaker advertises on n
flaming bulletin board :
YOUE SHOES HALF SOLED
WHILE
YOU WAIT. DROP IN NOW.
The thinking man with a pair of shoes
to bo half soled will doubtless figure it out
for himself that bo can have the work done
while be waits , provided be waits long
enough. The "drop in" suggestion is par
ticularly timely because \ery near tbe en
trance to the shoo shop is a basement stair

f FREE. I'LUMBINO. * |
* . .
This on tbe west side of a Farnam street
bufclnefH house attracts comment from everyone -
ono who reads it , because it la a standing
Joke throughout tbo country that tbo
plumber never does anything free , Thcro Is
between "Free" and " "
a comma "Plumbing ,
but the average portion payti but llttlo at
tention to such a small mark of punctua
tlon , so the idea most generally conceived
Is that some philanthropist has made an
Innovation by introducing plumbing with
out price.
The saloon blgn , "Hot Merchants Lunch"
has bocorao BO common and so much sport
hns been made of It that but little atten
tion la attracted.
A Sixteenth street Chinaman whoso name
Is Ylng Leo lina displayed a sign that when
vlowcd from u distance of half a block or
further brands him as a self-confchsod liar ,
The instriptlon on the sign Is : "Ylng Lee ,
Laundry , " but the letters are constructed
that It reads ;
* "LYING LHE. " }
*
The sign writer made an unusually largo
"L" at thp beginning nnd on a level with
the lower end ot the "L" ho spoiled out the
remainder of the word "laundry" In very
small letters , In the space thus left above
and In letters almost as largo as the Initial
"L" ho wrote tlio niimo "Ylng Leo , " so that
the combination makes a plain caao of
"Lying Leo. " It rccjulrcs a rather clcse in
spection to ascertain Just what tbo inscrip
tion vuis Intended to bo.
Cli'rjfj innii 1'nlit till Illn .Sl n ,
' Along the side of a private residenceat ,
Twenty-fifth avcnuo and Leavenworth street
Is a large board sign :
HAVE FAITH IN OD.
The letters are gilt and the background
of tlio board Is enameled "black " , making the
inscription easily readable some distance
away. This peculiar idea originated with u
zealous minister who llvru in tbe house ,
Probably no signboard lu the city attracts
moro attention , and It Is presumed that
was the purpose Intended. Nearly every
body passing there , cither on tbo earn or
otherwise , has something to say about It ,
for Its prominence insures notlc .
In adjoining houses on Sixteenth street
thcro are a "nettle-man" and n "Kettcl-
man" in business , Their lines of trade are
different and they are not partners , but their
signs must have been written by the same
painter , 'for ' the style is almost identical ,
and above ono door la "Oettleman , " whllo
above the other IB "Kettclman. " The signs
are large , made of gilt and run lengthwise
across the front of the buildings. In an
other part of the city there 1 a "Gentle
man" in the same line of business as Mr.
Kcttolman.
Omaha has a retail moat dealer who should
bo able to attract a largo trade in the Una
of roauts , for his nnmo is Hump nnd the
popularity of the rump roast when properly
cooked , is well known to epicures. Mr.
Hump's sign , however , is plain and docs not
bear his name.
These are only a few samples of the queer
thlnus that may bo observed In a , rambla
about the city , but Omaha has nothing
hardly so striking as the St. Louis saloon
keeper -whoso numo Is "Louis Booze. " That
has been pronounced the most significant
sign on record In the United States , and the
.owner of the suggestive name teems to take
prldo In having attention attracted.
