Drive Tuesday
J
Hundred Picked Men to En
deavor to Push Member
•hip Over 4,000
Mark.
One hundred picked men from the
Ak-Sar-Ben roundup will meet Tucs
ady noon and under the orders of the
bosses these selected cowboys will go
forth into the valleys and hills and
ride out all unbranded mavericks. The
big shipping date is to be Monday eve
ning from the chutes at Alc-Sar-Ben.
Samson advises that the cars will not
move away from these chutes unless
they are loaded down with 4,000 brand
ed critters.
"If the men of Omaha want the
ahow to open on June 4, they must
all get busy and help round up an
other member, for the show will not
go on unless there are 4.000 names
bn the roster," he said. "Each boss
‘ working in this roundup will have at
least eight of his most trusted cow
boys stalt out Tuesday morning with
a grint ifctermlnation to bring in at
: least five more mavericks.'\
Big Final Drive.
t This is the big final drive and It
will g« hard on the maverick that
escapes these cowboys in this last
grand push. Samson calls for tlie
help of all those loyal subjects who
have been branded and/asks them to
shake the hushes in their locality ami
scare ol’it into the open aiiy and all [
. of those whom they know have not
been branded thus far.
J "Brand them right on the spot,” j
; says Samson, "or else chase them out j
. If into the open so that the cowboys-t an
! reach them."
Show ( empiric.
Never In the history of Ak-Sar-Ben
will he the den show open more uus
' piciously. . The show is complete and
I ■ ready in every respect, and while it
j * is a mystery to everyone except the
■ actors and working crew it is safe
j A to bet that It will be one of I lie best
■ sliows that has ever been held in tlie
* Ak-Sar-Ben den. The east is big and
A strong and well-trained and there are |
f; a lot of new sensations which have
'•t never been seen or heard in this part
r of the country before. It will lie a
grand opening provided there are
* 4.000 men on the roll of honor, says

“Madame” After Thirty
for All French Women
Paris, May 26.—'The title "ma
datne" should be applied to all wom
en after they have reached the age
of 30, according to Jane Misme.
French authoress, who has launched
till* campaign.
"To be madam# is In Itself a dig
nity." said Mine. Misme to the
French weekly L lllust ration. "The
word gives way before a young bride
of 20 and blocks the path of a spinster
of 80.
"No matter how intelligent she
may he, no matter how great h»r
I lifework. an unmarried woman is
forced by ridiculous modern custom
to be 'mademoiselle’ until the end of
■ her life.
"At present the only spinsters giv
en the title of ’madaine’ are the
daughters of kings, which proves the
title Is one of dignity and respect. On
■ the theory all women are equal, un
married women are as entitled to be
called ’madam#' as women who have
divorced or burled two husbands "

Women Is ardently advocating the re
