The Epworth League Visits the Home and Pleases Old Folks An entertainment was given at the Masonic Home last night by the Epworth League, when all came dressed in colonial costume to cele brate Washington's birthday. It was very beautifully done, their quaint dresses representing our past history and times. Their laces and frills Adorning their faces and accentuating their voices as they Bang the old-time nongs and music we used to sing so long ago, when we, too, were young and played at being grandfathers and grandmas; besides, we had the great I-leasure of meeting, In duplicate, Christopher Columbus, Henry Hud son, Lord and Lady Baltimore and many others of their time. Martha Washington was there, dressed In "court costume" of scarlet and green. Her husband was unavoidably absent, but she wore his miniature in ivory .nd her bright face was embellished with two tiny beauty patches so fashionable in those dys. There was a long procession of historic char acters, whose appropriate dress so completely concealed their identity that we failed to recognize them. I should like to give in detail each character, but there were so many si nd all were so good that It would fill the Journal and it would take me a week. But it will take many weeks to forget the goodness that prompted them to come and promote our enjoy ment, and it would be difficult to express In words our thanks. One of the gentlemen here this morning told it In tbis way: "I never get drunk, but I must confess that last night I was full of Joy, literature and music!" I voice the sentiments of all In saying, We thank you, and as H has been Bald, "One good turn calls for another." Come again. You are as welcome as the flowers in May." J. E. V. THINKS SUCH CONTRACTS SHOULD BE TABOOED There is a great deal of truth in the following, taken from the Lincoln News, and we believe It will be en dorsed by almost every newspaper man in the state: Said a man who once ran a country newspaper out In the state: ' "I notice that the supreme court has decreed that a railroad can not make a contract with a publisher to exchange transportation for adver tising space. That decision is all right. I was running a weekly In a Nebraska county seat town when the state legislature passed the anti-pass law, and I was indignant when I dis covered that no longer was I permit ted to exchange my advertising space for transportation. I wa3 very sure that the railroad felt that it was get ting value received for the publicity I gave it, and it looked to me like an Impertinent Interference for the leg islature to tell me and the railroad that we could not do business on a basis mutually satisfactroy. 1 did not look upon the advertisement as a bribe and was confident that the rail road managers did not regard It in that light, because they had told me so. When I was sputtering around about it, my wife suggested that a good test of whether the railroad men regarded it as a strictly business proposition or a subsidy would be to see if they would run the advertise ment on a cash basis. The reply to my proposition was that the depart ment head was of the opinion that the returns possible from running an advertisement in my paper would not justify a contract as proposed. Then It was when I tumbled, and that's why I think those kind of contracts ought to be tabooed." Subscribe lor tne Hail Journal. Horse Shoeing.
