Church School
^ Training Urged
at Conference
Plan to Have Public Schools
Dismissed for Periods of
Religious Instruction
Is Suggested.
"In more than 100 cities in JO states
lcliool boards have made it possible
for the child, upon request of the par'
outs, to be excused to attend a school
of religious instruction," declared Ed
ward Sargent yesterday morning in
discussing the extension of the church
school. "The movement is gaining
headway from coast to coast.”
Mr. Sargent Is of the opinion, os
are many other religious workers,
lhat the child does not come Into con
tact with enough religious and moral
things by attending only Sunday
school. "It is not a movement of any
one church or a single denomination,”
he declared.
He pleaded for the support of all
• reeds in the movement for securing
the co-operation of the home, public
school and the church. "The best
time to impress youth with things sa
cred and religious is between the
first and eighth grades,” he stated.
1-oae Faith at School.
Rev. Paul Mieou, in speaking on
"Work Among Students,” said many
, young men and women strayed from
home religious training when they
^vent away from school.
"They become affiliated with col
lege organizations such as fraterni?
ties and clubs, and forget their home
religion,” he said.
R"v. Mr. Mieou and Miss Agnes M.
Hall have worked among students in
universities and colleges for a number
of years, finding out the religious
affiliations of the boys and girls at
home and attempting to keep them
anchored while they are in school.
Rev. Mr. Mieou has written a book
on religion and school life.
Co-Operation Discussed
Discussions on co-operation of the
church and schools occupied the
forenoon of the second day at the
fourth annual educational conference
of the Episcopal church.
In opening. Rev. ,T, W. Sutter. Jr.,
read the "not official minutes nf the
conference,” which brought rounds or
applause and laughter from all the
delegates. In speaking of the
minutes nne delegate laughed, They
are a sketch. mentioning certain
points of interest, leaving out much."’
"Starvation is the main reason why
the clergy leave home," threw the
delegation In a paroxysm of laughter.
"We do not properly care for our
rural clergymen. They are also
starved mentally and aocially,'* said
Rev. Sutter.
State Conditions Discussed
Conditions of the clergy in west
ern Nebraska were commented on in
the "the official minutes” para
graph icaily. "Dots country folk or
w ide open spaces make a locality tru
ly rural was the subject of a de
fc*r*te. “A vivid picture wag drawn of
a country buried beneath 10 inches
of sand where it takes ten acres to
feed a cow, and one hour to drive
ten miles.”
Tn refering to the bounds of dio
ceses the minutes advised. “If one
little place does not make you happy,
take 10. Moving around helps.”

Our Children
By ANGELO FATRI.
IMIe Dresses I'p.
Belle wns quite a big girl, past 12.
and full of the visions of 20. She
loves to dress up and nobody's ward
robe was safe. Hats and ties from
iter brothers’ stores and anything at
all from her sisters' and mother.
No amount of scolding or scorn
ing seemed to check her mad riot
ing in borrowed plumage. Nothing
was too much, nothing lncongrous,
to her acquisitive mind. The family
began to look up in sheer self-de
fense.
One noon time she reached home to
discover that the house was hers. A
note told her where to find her lunch
eon and what to do after school: *'\Ve
will all he home before dinner time.
Do what you can to get things ready
and help us as much as you can."
"Must have been in a great hurry,”
mused Belie. “Everything Is scattered
about. And all the drawers and boxes
and things are wide open. How care
less. Burglars might come any min
ute. I’ll put a few away now before
1 go back to school."
But her dressing up notion pos
sessed her at sight of all the finery.
That black velvet gown! Just the
thing for a start. A little loose in
spots and a bit longer than they were
wearing them. But still —
That lovely lace scarf would be just
the touch. Oorgeous things these
green satin slippers. A bit of cotton
in the toes and they'd fit perfectly.
Lovely high heels, a piece of ribbon
tied about the ankles would keep them
on better.
Jewels! 'One must have Jewels.
Chains and strings of heads. One could
wear a good many if one put long
ones on as well as short ones. They
could be knotted about the wrists, too,
for bracelets. The ends dangled beau
tifully. ‘
O-o-o: rings! Taken altogether the
family hail quite a many. Each finger
could carry some. The big green one
would do for the thumb. Emeralds
were mo atyliish.
Now this big black hat. With a
plums or two tied on. »nd a hunch
of fjpwers to give color, It would look
like something, llm! Pretty stylish.
“Wouldn’t the girls he crazy if they
saw me now? I’m going over and call
on Mrs. Withers. She’s the most ‘‘ex
clusive’’ friend my mother has. She
will appreciate my costume. Just a
little perfume, though. I like them
all." and she doused herself gener
ously, and strolled down the street
to the colonial house among the pine
trees.
When tier family arrived that eve
ning they were started by the dark
ness and the stlllneas. No Belle. A
hasty examination gave the, impres
sion that burglars had visited them.
“Quick, the telephone. Caddy! Belle'
Police.’’
But the telephone shrilled liefore
they hud reached It and Mrs With
ers’ well modulated voice said. "I
have Belle. Won't you come right
over? Shea all right, hilt I thought
I'd kfep her until you cams home.
There sat the very wilted prisoner,
decked In velvet ami green slippers and
Jewels galore, weeping copiously. “I
made hsr stay Just ns sha was. I
wanted you to see that 1 had good
reason. But I think she’s been pun
ished enough."
"1 even haven't had nnv lunch,"
•oblred Belle. Tbs family think their
wardrobes are safe for some time to
come.

Past Sessions
Legislative League Banquet at
Lincoln Attended by 200
Members.
Npts'lul IiLpstrh to The Oimtlia lire.
Lincoln, April 13.—Two hundred
former members ’ or the legislature
from the four corners of the state j
met here last night at the annual ban
quet of the Nebraska Legislative
league to renew acquaintances and
swap reminiscences of bygone ses
sions.
The two oldest former members in
point of service were Edwin Jeary of
Lincoln and William Corbin of John
eon county. Jeary is father of Clark
Jeary, who served in the lower house
two years ago. The elder Jeary was
a member of the legislature in 1885.
Howard Not Present.
James A. Hodman of Omaha, presi
dent, was toastmaster. There was
genuine regret expressed that Con
gressman Edgar Howard, one of the j
scheduled speakers, was unable to be j
present. Former State Senator John ,
M. Tanner of Omaha, filled the con
gressman’s place on the program.
Governor Charles W. Bryan was
the first speaker. The governor re
frained, as did all other speakers,
from mentioning the present bitter
fight in progress in the legislature, |
excepting to allude to it in a jocular
vein. He asserted that he believed |
the new capitol was being erected as
cheaply as possible to insure good
workmanship and good materials nec
essary for a monumental structure.
.Speaker A. N. Mathers read a paper
on "Demugogue in Polities.” He de
scribed a demogogue as a man who
played to passions and prejudices of
people and one who made false and
misleading promises to the public.
Veteran Describes “Pest.”
"Doc" Tanner, veteran of five ses- ;
sions, described the "legislative pest." |
"Such a man is one who makes u
funny or sharp remark or two which -
are caught and heralded by the news- j
papers, and he mistakes the applause
of an amused public us an apprecia
tion of worth," he said. "From then
on he Is on the floor continually filled
with egotism, and it is no wonder
sensible members are driven to drink." i
Other speakers were Congressman
Bob Simmons, former Congressman
Charles II. Sloan, former State Sena

Limit to State House Cost
Called for in Resolution
Lincoln, April 13.—A resolution di
rected «t the state capitol commis
sion, tailing upon tha* body to keep
the cost of the new state house with
in $5.000,000, was introduced in the
lower house today by Representatives
Amspoker and Thatcher.
The resolutions states that when
the project whs started taxpayers
were promised the cost wouldn’t ex
ceed $5,000,000, while finder plans
and specifications adopted by the
commission it appears the cost will
be several millions in excess of the
$5,000,000.
Dysart of Omaha objected to con

the rules it was pigeonholed for 34
hours.

A. T. Qrarber of Mineral Springs,,
Wis., was visitor on the Omaha live
slock market, lie bought two loads!
of feeder cattle, averaging 1,100
pounds, for which he paid J8.5U a
hundred.
"We have a abundance of pasture
around Mineral Springs and it is my
intention to run the cattle on pas
ture for some time and market the
latter part of the year^as grass fed [
stock," he -aid. "A number of far
mers in my neighborhood have
bought feeders and are utilizing; the'
pastures. It is possible there will lie
large amount of live stock shipped
to the Omaha market in the fall from
around Mineral Springs."
Kdward Smith came in frouf Greg
ory, S, I)., bringing three lohds of
choice short fed steers. One load was
sold for $8.<!o a hundred and the oth
ers wpre sold to a packer for f8.55 a
hundred.
"1 had wait two weeks to get cars
from the railroad to ship my cattle,”
said Mr. Smith. "On aeconnt of a
shortage of moisture in my section
tanning prospects are not the liest."
Charles Young, banker and live'
stock feeder of Coleridge, was a visi- |
tor at the stock yards, having brougth
in two loads of cattle. Mr. Young
said there were plenty of fat cattle
and hogs in his section and that they
Were moving rapidly on account of
the high cost of feed.
"Conditions are gradually improv
ing for the farmer and live stock
raiser, "said Mr. Young," btft it will
be some time before they are bark to
normal. The spring pig crop will be
pretty short on account of the late !
storms and cold weather. Our cattle
are fairly fat and we are rushing
them to market to avoid having to
pay high prices for corn."
