Ploknlcking time vacation days
the most gladsome of the year!
Have you noticed bow large busi
ness and Industrial concerns are.
making; It that for their employee?
Just last week there was tho mam
moth picnic of employes of the
Burgesa-Xash company, given at
Naahwood, the country home of
Louis C. Nash.
Most striking of all 1 tho Innovation
of General Manager K. C Howe of tha
Armour Packing company In opening a
free vacation camp for girl employee at
King's lake, near Valley.
Tenta have been pitched, a cottage
fitted with all kitchen necessities, the
larder stored to the brim, and here each
weak relays of twelve girls go for a
week's rest nd fun untroubled by
though of railroad fare, board, room of
other expenses. Tha vacationers are not
the better paid glrla of tha offloo force,
but those to whom the camp la mora of
a treat glrla from tha ham, trtmming
and sausage department at Armour's.
It was a hard time we had getting
there, after tha long siege of rains. The
Bee photographer and I, because we ,
tnade tha trip over well-nigh Impassable '
roads tn an auto of tha vintage of Oil- '
or Wendell Holmes' "One-Hoss Shay." '
Bumpety-hump-bump. we bumped along. '
Drery once In awhile, after we had !
rounded some perfectly vicious corner, j
tha driver would yell back, "Ara yon. !
IV.M .( tmrinm 1 h.i hnimMiA
eut In the Interim.
Drive Through Farmyard.
Ono wa had to drive through some
one' a farmyard to avoid getilng stuck
In the mud. Aa accommodating farmer
boy opened the large white gala, upon
which waa Uttered In bold, black Itnes
tha familiar sign, "Pay as You Enter.'
We had visions of being held up, but
there was no conductor's fare box, so
we Joggled merrily along to tho camp.
The roads are better now.
Whan I got out I felt a If all tho bolt
and screws In me as woll aa the car haa
been loosened from their moorings, but
one glance at the hearty, hurrahing-
bunoh of girls who surrounded us waa
enough to banish ail woes of tha getting
there.
Most of the girls are Bohemian, Polish,
Lithuanian or "Ilorvatsky," Croatian,
with a sprinkling of German. Some of
them had never been on such an outing
before, for lack of funds and time aa
well aa a placa to go. Hera they hava
all the comforts of a vacation camp.
Swimming, rowing, bathing, basket ball,
tennis, croquet, hiking all the summer
sports needing only their inclination for
indulgence.
Were Keeping? Hair Dry
We went down to the river first to
take soma pictures of the girls In bath
ing. Most of them wvei huddled near
the shore only waist brgn in water. Sev
eral of the girls were sans bathing caps,
their hair faultlessly dressed, and one
wore a shiny barretta of brilliants. No
Idea of getting her hair wet heral
"I can't get your pictures there. You'll
have to come farther out into the water,"
sang out Th Bee photographer, who had
gone out farther la a rowboet go thai
ha could snap the braver ones oomlng
down tha elide.
"Aw, nawl I don't want to drown,"
waa the reply.
"Don't mind. I'll pull you out,'; ha
coaxed.
"I'd like to push you In and sea how
you'd like It," was tha quick rejoinder.
' Afraid of h Hilda.
A lithe youngster, bronted the color
of an Indian, but who Informed me he
wasn't black even If he looked It, waa
bribed to ascend the shoot and altda
down, thereby causing tha glrla who
clung to the bottom of tha elide to ba
pushed off Into the water. Tha Idea was
to permit an action photograph to bo
taken without their knowledge sines nono
had courage enough to slide down of
their own accord.
The yoiinsMer did as he was bid and
a Hputtorlng bunoh of girls rose, wbtte
laucd with fvur, from the ducking, and
scrambled to the shore. No more water
pictures for them, not If the water cams
higher than their shoulders.
Tha first day out, tha girls didn't know
what to do with themselves, never hav
ing been to a place like this before. They
were unaccustomed to the water and had
to be shown how to wield a tennis
racquet or a croquet set. That was when
the Vlctrola, considerately provided by
Mr. Howe, did yeoman service In making
tbe girls happy. Then they had to se
lect a name for their camp, which was
with one accord, dubbed "Arnvco."
Girls Sleep Late,
They slept late tha next day and eh,
how good breakfast tasted, and every
other meal after that! Hava you an idea
what healthy young appetites can de
vour? Mrs. Hudson, tha housekeeper,
told me that they had used a bushel of
potatoes in three days! Then there la
plenty of good roast beef, bread and but
ter, vegetables, tea, coffee and milk, be
sides which one of tho K'rU confuted that
"Mrs. Hudson sure did know how to
make cake that melted In your mouth.
"I never ate anything so good In my
life before," aha told me.
"Mrs. Hudson la our mother while we
are out bars. Some mother!" they ax
claimed, aa they encircled Mrs. Hudson's
ample proportions.
The Armour girls are tha original bun
galow apron brigade. Iudeed this Is the
only approved article of apparel, corsets
being entirely taboo.
Ho Mill n Doctor.
"Are you having a good timer' I asked
a square-faced Horvatsky maiden.
"Gee, if I was feeling better I'd have
to call a doctor," waa her expressive
reply.
A quantity of chewing gum had been
smuggled Into camp and was In ener
getlo use by tha glrla. When tha photo
grapher told the girls they had to atop
chewing gum long enough to hare their
pictures snapped, they ralaed a howl of
(protest. "Ws're tha chewing gum
bunch." they 1nlsted. "If you let us
chew cur gum. I'll bo a Duch uncle to
you," one of them sang out. Intuitively
having ascertained that his nam was
Herman Bchonfeldt.
Anna, an Interesting Croatian type,
was the ealy on who refused to Join
In all tho sports. She sat alone tn her
tent, reading.
It was a pensive figure 1
she made.
"What r you reading, Anns!" t
tlonod.
Nook In Una Liiif mir,
Hhe held out a (ally Illustrated book,
which she naitl u, "The Arabalaii
NiKht," In hrr own language. Horvataky.
She had purchased It In New York on
hr arrival nine er a to.
"Why don't you Join tha r-at of tha
girls. AnnaT"
"I can't play with tha Slrl." she
sighed. "They ara young. I hava much
trouble. My husband, ha la sick and 1
must work. I taka tare of him and
hopo ha will be butter."
One of tha girls told me that hp had
tuberculosis.

Ten-Year-Old Lad
Tries to Fish in
Bee Building Pool
Xrery man who delights In fishing- has
a favorite stream or a favorite pond,
where he caught his longest string or
where be landed hie biggest fish, but
heretofore It le not a matter of record
that the big central court of The Bee
building has boon numbered as the fav
orite snot of any fisherman. However, it
waa learned that euoh was th case when
lad about ten years old came Into
the building, armed with a bit of white
string, and a bent pin. He bad no bait.
but ho sat upon tha edge of tho big
gold fish pool and dropped hta line uue
tn . water. He waited for some time.
and the fish did not bite. Ha pulled hi
line slowly to and fro, and etui tne nsn
did not bite. It was then that a cold
hearted reporter came along, and seeing
that the fisherman had had no lues,
stopped to explain that tnaemuch as no
one had ever fished in the plaoe befors
It was likely that the fish did not know
enough to get caught.
Tha boy seemed satisfied wiin tn ex
planation, and oarefuly rolled up his
line, and left the building.

What the Summer Theaters Offer This Week

ater for the sixth week of the all-summer
season of the Edward Lynch Play

Bon," a play In which Thomas W. Ross
starrod for two seasons and one entirely
new to Omaha.
T'he principal character In the story
Is Thomas Bralnerd, a man who has ac
quired great wealth and tho consequent
social position which wealth brings when
combined with gentility. H has be
come so engrossed In business that at
tho opening of the play he seems with
out demonstrative feeling of any kind.
His son has become a reprobate, his
wife Is a brilliant society woman, his
daughter Is Just entering the society of
wblah the mother is a leader. During
th Investigation of a recent murder of
an artist of high standing, a detective
has discovered a packet of Utters on the
dead man, wrttttn by Bralnerd'B wife,
and their oontsnta give th millionaire
ground for diveroe. From thia point on
the life of th son is an Impaeaioaed ef
fort to keep his mother from public
shame and worse. He gone to bis father's
offtoe the following day and destroys the
Incriminating tetters and breaks the
father's oVterminatlon to carry the case
to court. Two years later tha youngut
Bralnerd. living with bis mother in Col
orado, has mad a business as well as
a morel auooesa, quit unknown to his
rather, who goes out west to buy tht
plant In which the son Is the chlet
iwuer. The boy's conduct has won him
a fine woman for a wife and also when
ho learns th truth the admiration of
his father, A train of circumstance
necessitates the father staying for din
ner, and th preaenc and sight of bis
wife In th primitive surroundings where
their life had begun calls up something
which had lain almost forgotten for
twenty years. H takes her back.
Tha play is strongly constructed, th
characters are real and the dramatic
movements are many and strong. Th
comedy is well balanead and th pathos
appealing. Th Edward Lynch Players,
with ths asslstanc of Mr. Sams, the
former Ftohman director, and an aug
mented cast, will give a splendid per
formance. Great Luts and company head th bill
at th Empress for th first half of th
