DAN AND HIS BOYS
Tuesday afternoon the Colored peo
ple of Omaha were almost tickled to
death when they saw the First Regi
mental band, K. of P. Crowds were
watching and waiting for them, as
Omahans always watch and wait;
but their breath was fairly taken
away when they beheld our band of
thirty boys stepping it off down the
King’s Highway all togged out in
nifty new uniforms. They certainly
looked fine and they felt proud, we
felt proud, and all Omaha felt proud.
But proudest of all was Dan Des
dunes, their leader, and he has the
right to be proud. When Mr. Des
dunes came to Omaha he thought that
we ought to have a band and with
hope, earnestness and great self sacri
fice he set about to make a band. And
he has made it, from the ground up.
For him there has never been any
thought of gain; no desire for flat
tery. He worked hard and taught them
free of harge. His enthusiasm spread
and from a handful has grown to
be Omaha’s greatest band. It is a liv
ing evidence of the steadfastness and
perseverance of Colored men under a
leader who inspires respect and whose
sincerity can never be challenged.
They have called their band the First
Regimental band, K. of P., but they
are and will always be Dan’s boys,
because what they are they owe to
him and him alone.
One of the county commissioners
was surprised this w’eek to learn that
his colored appointee had myster
iously disappeared from the county
pay roll. The commissioner is free
from blame, but after this w-hen those
sudden things happen, let the Monitor
know' and we will try and find out
the reason w'hy.
CONCERNING MR. OLE JACKSON
The Monitor learns with regret that
Ole Jackson, who has been employed
as foreman of a street-cleaning squad,
was laid off this week. The reason
for this action is not yet clear but we
have made an appointment with Com
missioner Parks and hope to be able
to be able to assist Mr. Jackson in a
reinstatement.
i Political positions held by the Col
I ored people are so few that we can ill
| afford to lose a single one. All of
J the commisioners have said from time
to time that Mr. Jackson was one of
the most efficient foremen in the de
partment, and the fact that he is laid
off while foremen of shorter terms of
service are retained is a matter to
be investigated. Mr. Jackson is now
a man of family, home owner and a
respected man in our community, and
many of the best citizens of Omaha
indorsed him for the position which
he recently held. We shall labor to
the end of securing his reinstatement,
onfident that we have behind us the
good will of all The Monitor readers.
LOCATED
A Chicago man tells of calling on
a young lady very early one spring
morning. He had come in his big
automobile and he wanted to give
the young lady a morning spin
through the country. A little girl,
the young lady’s niece, answered the
bell.
“Is your auntie in ?” asked the man.
“Yes sir.”
“That’s good. Where is she?"
“She’s up-stairs,” said the little
girl, “in her nightie, looking over the
banisters.”—Harper’s Magazine.

“IP”
If you can keep your head when ail
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
you,
If you can trust yourself when all
men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting
too;
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to
hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk
too wise.
If you can dream and not make
dreams your master;
If you can think and not make
thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with triumph and dis
aster
And treat those two imposters just
the same,
If you can bear to hear the truth you
have spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for
fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life
to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with
worn-out tools.
If you can make one head of all your
winnings,
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and
toss,
And lose, and start again at your be
ginnings
And never breathe a word about your
loss;
' you can force your heart and nerve
and sinew
To serve your turn long after they
are gone;
And so hold on when there is nothing
in you,
Except the Will which says to them:
“Hold on.”
If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with kings—nor lose the com
mon touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you,
f all men count with you, but not too
much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance
run;
Yours is the Earth and everything
that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man,
my son.
—Kipling.
