0 THK OMAHA SUNDAY BKK: JUNE 5. 1910. 44 Grand Bouncers" of St. Mary's Avenue Church HI-; buy problem wher hn ih "Y"1 lioy no of evenings. In what way I shall he give harmless vent to ii. mui jiiuh energy, iiow can ha mMy find advantageous outlet fur ii i ever-nresent idea that h must all tiie while be doing something? "The Grand Bouncers" of St. Mary's Ave nue Congregational church have what peats to be a happy solution of the beg problem. "tirand Bouncers" doesn't seem at titt glance to be exactly fitting as cognomas) for a church 01 ganixatlon, but the berw compiling the club explain that "O. B." side from "Grand Bouncers," stands few "(food boys" and "grub and Bible," a con fcmation admlltodly good. Moreover, the tallsmanlc "G. B." also forms the Initial of the club's motto, which is: ORKATEIl Itl 'MP GREATER I BOUNCE, f In elucidation of the foregoing motto It Is explained that In going through this life of tips and downs the boys seems to realise thus early that they Mve a few "downs" ! coming to them the harder the bump, the greater must In consequence thereof be the bounce. That Is the why of the motto, Phoenix-like, they propone to rlso again, , when they go down. I ' There Is. of course, mors or laa levitv in the cornerstone of the organisation It wouldn't appeal to boys -If It were other wise. But back of the funny side, Is a serious obligation, the ultimate aim of ach boy belonging being to develop Into good man. "Oreat Biscuit" Is the somewhat ludicrous title of the presiding officer. "Great Bis cuit" naturally suggests things culinary and that's where the boys of St. Mary's venue church shine. Impromptu banquets are, in fact, one of the chief features of the lub, and the boys do their own cooking in a manner that would do credit to any chef In the city at least the members so esti mate It. It Is the rule to give a supper at the club rooms every Friday evening. A charge of IS cents Is made and the boys fifid that by close management, they can serve 15 cent meals at a profit. The profit goes Into the treasury, and a nice little fund is accumu lating. Realising that too many cooks poll the broth, one of the number Is se lected cook for a certain occasion, and so long as that occasion lasts, he is absolute boss of the kitchen, He is allowed an as sistant, but the assistant works under his orders. All of the good things of the sea son aro served. For Instance, last Friday night, strawberry shortcake was a feature t the bill of fare. Strawberry shortcake made by a boy sounds rather strange, yet stories emanat ing from the vicinity of St. Mary's church are to the effect that the shortcake was as fine as has ever been made by any housewife or professional chef in Omaha. ' After the Friday -evening dinner, it Is the rule for the boys to adjourn to another room In the church., building, where they Indulge in discussion of high school topics and other things designed to point out the upland path. Many interesting discussions are held, and oftentimes thq oratorical fea ture lasts for an hour or more. Stage fright is unknown among the Queer Incidents of , Kemarrlea and Recovers. , house of Flnch-Hatton. . which is descended . ELIEVING that he was dying B from .typhoid pneumonia and assured by the attending phy sicians that he had slight, if any, chances for recovery, Thomas Tudor of Independence, Mo. said that he wished his divorced wife. Amanda Tudor, to have his estate and asked that she be brought to his bedside. The woman came from Independence and at the hospital, after a brief talk, the couple were reconciled. They expressed a wish to be remarried. The man was unable to visit the recorder's, office to get a license so the recorder went o the hospital, took their affidavits and (fsued a license. ' ,To the surprise of the physicians Tudor rallied Immediately after the ceremony and bis chances of recovery are excellent. , Mrs. Tudor left here for Independence and will prepare the old home for Tudor's reception when he leaves the hospital, which the physicians say he will be able to do within a week If he keeps improving as rapidly as he has done for the last forty-eight hours. 1 Miss Drexel's Earl. Miss Margarita Drcxel of Philadelphia, on marrying the son and heir of the thir teenth earl of Wlnchllsea and Nottingham, j relates the Pittsburg Dispatch, will be com piled to share the title and name of Vis- -"ountess Maidstone with the1 eccentric .widow of the reprobate son of the eleventh jearl.

Of course. Princess Louis, who was born as ' Arch duchess Maria Theresa of Austria, has never accorded the slightest recognition to this milk-and-water conspiracy being car ried on In her name by the White Rote league, and which confines its efforts to sticking the postage stamps bearing the king's effigy with the head upsidu down on their letters, and to adorning the statue of Charles I. ln London with flowers on the Iversary of his execution.

"Murphy GREAT BISCUIT "Grand Bouncers." Here the most timid finds public speaking cany. Who knows but that congressional or senatorial, or even presidential tlrr.ber may not be grow ing right now within the ranks of the bouncer boys? According to the "order of business,"' tha discussion period of the Friday evening ses sions Is followed by a routine business meeting, at which new members are voted upon, suggestions for betterment of tha club ore presented and any other mattere are taken up that seem to be timely. Nearly every member of the bouncers If a High school student and It Is the avowed Intention of each to enter college as quickly as practicable upon leaving High school. Every member of the club Is a boy ex cept one. That exception is Mr. O. T. Eastman, cashier First National bank, who serves In the capacity of leader. ln-jppinu Into rr. II road vernacular for the nument. It is Mr. Eastman's Job to spread ballast on the track. In short, it is his business to veto any Juvenile ideas that mi;;hi lack the necessary conservatism, lie is tlu same to the club that the "govemoi" is to a steam engine. He is popular with the r. boys and is profoundly respected. Ha be- came leader when the Rev. L. O. Balrd. former pastor of St. Marv's Avenue Fnn gregational church, left Omaha to take an other pastorate. Rev. Balrd, by the way, was the originator of the "Grand Bounc ers," and served as first leader. He gave the bovs the idea thev worked It nut - - . j. jwiui n nu ever ai'rveu in Omaha was more popular with the boys of his church. As an evidence of their love for their pastor, on the occasion of his farewell sermon, forty . boy members marched in a body to the front seats and sat togetner during the service. They also gave a parting oanquet to tne , retiring pastor and his wife. It was then that Mr. Eastman, busy man of financial affairs, took up tho work where the pastor left off. He is "one of house of Flnch-Hatton. . which is descended from a common anceuter with the Herberts earls of Pembroke, and first came into prominence under the name of Flpch In the reign of Henry VI. Aae 2Vo Bar to Remaned That agjr'' is no bar to romance was demonstrated at York, Pa., whe,n an nouncement was made of the secret Wed ding in Harrlsburg of the Rev. Adam W. Shenborger of Kansas, a retired minister of the United Evangelical chdrch, and Eleanora Swarts of York, a former matron at the York county almshouse. Shenberger 'Is 72 years old and his bride 62 years old. The couple planned their wedding as a surprise, and the only Yorker let Into the Omaha Girl XT it 1 U t UIC'O st At IT a girl, still childishly sweet ln 'III short dresses, has broken a IfimmJ typewriter speed record. She has set a pace that will arouse Interest amopg expert typists the country over. She has, borrowing from stenographlo vernacular. "written all around" the lad who won the Brown trophy In the speed demonstration which, was a feature of the recent commercial college convention ln this city. You are not a stenographer! or typist, you are not a ' commercial college teacher. Tou are for the knoment Just a newspaper reader. You are not familiar with the Brown trophy and other things that enter into the shop talk of the commercial schools. No, but you have red blood in your veins, and in typewriting contests Just as in base ball, you feel like rooting for home talent, don't you? Of course! And when home.talent wins, you feel like tossing your hat Into the air, at least figuratively so, and shouting "hurrah," don't you? Obviously then, granting that you don't know the keyboard of a typewriter from the ribbon shift, and that pot hooks of shorthand are like so many ancient hiero glyphics to you, nevertheless you are Inter ested In the story of the Omaha girl who has excelled in typewriter speed. But, you say. If she excels In speed, why didn't she win the Brown trophy? Simply because the was too timid to an nounce herself while the contest was open. After it was over and a Chicago youngster had carried the prize away, then the little Omaha girl shyly came forward with tha Statement that she, too, could write rap idly. President Boyles, In whose college tills Omaha prodigy ls a s'udent, wss in terested. "Let me see what you can do," he sug gested. A trial demonstration was made. Fifty six oids or difficult dictiatlon ln one min ute, was the result. v In that one minute Miss Bculali Moser for that Is the pretty little champion's name leaped to fame In shorthand and typewriting circles, for be It remembered that her fifty-six words a minute test was not written from matter which she had memorized, thus accelerating her speed, but from new dictation with mulch she was wholly unfamiliar. Parker Woodson, 14 years old. the Chi cago boy, who won the Brown trophy wrote forty-five words a minute under similar conditions. That was good enough, to win the prise, but now comes Miss Moser with a record suggesting to Master Woodson that be retire far to the rear of the publio rostrum there to assume a re cumbent position. She has beaten tha teater by eleven words In a one-mlnuta race. I Little Miss Moser lives with her parents at 2134 Saratoga street, this city.
