Along the streets of Omaha next Wednesday will pass one of the greatest pageants ever devised in the world’s history. Pagan monarchs in ages past cele brated themselves by barbarous pomp, displaying their own exploits to the gratification of their own vanity. Civilized kings have amused themselves by similar parades, now and then merely imitating their ancient predecessors. Incidents have been seized upon, allegories have been exploited, and poems illus trated in pageant, and even some bits of history have been so exhibited. But not in our time has an at tempt been made to visualize the history of a great nation, from its inception and birth to the culminat ing epoch of its splendid career, as in this effort of Ak-Sar-Ben. It was a veritable inspiration on part of John Lee Webster that took him before the board of gov ernors of Ak-Sar Ben last spring with the outline. Also, the board showed judgment equally inspired when it gave to Mr. Webster the sanction that has been so carefully and completely carried out. However familiar Americans may be with the his tory of their home land, they lose nothing from hear ing it repeated, and when it is presented as it will be in this pageant, the effect ought to be to revive and strengthen the sense of patriotism in all. Indeed, that is the very thought Mr. Webster had in view, and which he has endeavored to embody in the parade. Any one of the events that will be illustrated would in itself afford a theme for extended discourse, and altogether they will give a connected and com plete record of our country’s history. Ak-Sar-Beri has in the past shown many fine things, but nothing so great as this. AUTUMN S GREAT OUTDOOR SPORT. Football is again taking the spotlight in Jhe sport ing world, and generally among those who love clean athletics just for the sake of the game. Essentially a college or school game, it has been the means of setting in motion a series of reactions that have greatly influenced the life of the people. For ex ample, appeals for physical training to accompany mental culture were mostly in vain, until it came to be understood that a good football team was an asset to any institution of learning, and that football en tailed some attention to other forms of sport. The world had known ofAmen whose learning was deep and profound, and who also had huge biceps and well developed calves, besides other muscles, and who could use them, too. It was said of the great Dr. Johnson that he once at least boasted he could use his fists, and did so to the surprise and discom fiture of a huge bully of a waterman, who had taken umbrage at the doctor’s appearance. But mere brute force is not the aim of educators who are devoted to the ideals of a healthy body as the fit tenement for a sound mind. That football calls for an excess of power and endurance, perfectly co ordinated, is true, but it also demands alert mental processes as well, so that the star player is one who can think as well as act. The only serious criticism that is lodged against the sport is that it so greatly overshadows the others practiced in connection with schools that it assumes a proportion totally out of line with its actual importance. The public is much to blame for this, because the spectacle of two great football teams has an attrac tiveness that is not afforded by any of the other events, and so the fees paid to see it make up the bulk of receipts on which the existence of the athletic department at most of the schools depends. When a day comes that “gym" is made not only compulsory but is not expected to be self-supporting, the so called lesser sports will come in for a better show than they now stand. Yet no game played out of doors or in through the fall of the year will ever rival in favor that of football. The titanic crash of well drilled elevens, struggling for mastery, with all the thrills of unex pected as well as directed plays, holds a fascination not to be denied, even by the most sluggish of souls, while to the youth in leash of tutor’s authority it is intoxicating with an effect nothing else can produce. No scene is more stimulating than that at a football match, where even the most staid of mortals for the moment takes leave of his sobriety, and becomeg u howling maniac, as he joins all around in raving col lege yells. Ponce de Leon’s fabled fount had nothing on football. AUSSEY HAS A VERY GOOD EYE. Premier Massey of New Zealand is a wise old bird— he has to be to head the government in his home land. His opinion therefore is worth its face value, and a little more, and that is why we devote this space to one he expressed while going through Omaha on his way to London. An inquisitive reporter pressed him for an expression with regard to Italy and Greece, as to the Ruhr, and some other matters statesmen are expected to know all about, but Mr. Massey pleaded ignorance. In desperation, the re porter asked him what he thought of the American girls. “Now you are talking,” chortled the great man from the Antipodes. He went on with an explana tion that previously he had made his trips to and from between Australia and London by way of Canada or the canal, and had missed what he reckoned as the greatest thing in his life, the Ameri can girl. He lauded her, he praised her, and, had a chance presented he probably would have embraced her. But he did not tell Omaha or the world anything new. The pity is that the premier’s observation was restricted to what he could see from the car window, or on the train. He ought to take time to stop in pome of our large cities, and meet the American girl enmasse, to see her in her every-day glory, and then he would realize what a boon it is to be an American citizen. Not merely beenuse he then could vote and do other acts that smack of sovereignty, but he might daily behold the most wonderful parndc that passes under the sun, that of the American girl. Anywhere from 1 to 100, no. matter what her ng.’, she has a little something on all the other girls of the world, and we are glad the visiting brother from the other side of the globe noted this, although ho did not need especial gift of observation to make the discovery. THROUGH THE RAIN. Walking in the rain! It's an almost forgotten joy in this age of automobiles, taxicabs and street cars. These autumn days when the rain comes down gently and intermittently, while the air is warm and there is just enough wind to blow the drops re freshingly against one’s cheeks, give frequent op portunity. There is something of the primitive that stirs within, something kept alive in our blood from the days when our ancestors roamed the mountains and dwelt in caves. That’s why it is pleasant to feel the spray in our face and to let it fall upon the unpro tected head. The streets are almost deserted except for the ubiquitous automobile. The houses seem like brood ing hens keeping their occupants snug and dry. Trees, shrubs and flowers hold up their leaves thirstily to the soft kiss of the drops. A Jersey cow stands tethered in a vacant lot, chewing her cud, happy in the rain which has driven away the flies. Between showers little barefoot boys and girls come chattering from the houses and wade in the water. A black squirrel which has been observing the shower from his window in a big box elder tree now descends the trunk, with a nut in his mouth which he buries in the ground, covers up< carefully and then scampers back to his house as more drops begin to fall. Sparrows don’t mind the rain. They sit on wires and keep as snug as possible. Robins appear on the lawns and gobble the worms flooded from their un derground caverns. It’s a wretched day for chickens, which go about with tails turned down dejectedly, apparently grumbling at the rain which interferes with the work of honest fowl. But the ducks and geese in many a back yard quack and honk joyously. Never is the air so pure and invigorating as in the rain. Keep your feet dry. That’s the principal health rule. Let nature take care of the rest. And oh, what an appetite you have for dinner! Something like what Hairy Breast, your remote an cestor, had when he came back to his cave after a rainy day in the mountains with the drops splatter ing his naked body and his feet sploshing through the puddles. THE MISTAKE OF LIEF. Old Mazeppa was right: "Time at last sets all things even.” School authorities in Minneapolis and St. Paul have decided that'the saga of Lief the Lucky and Eric the Red shall become a part of the course of study in the public schools up there. That portion which tells of the pre-Columbian voyages of the Norsemen to the shores of North America will be especially emphasized, so that the descendants of those bold seafarers will know something of the ex ploits of the Tenth century forebears. However, this setting of Lief alongside of the Genoese explorer is likely to throw into high light another phase of the matter. Making all due allow- j ances for differences between the culture and en lightenment of the middle tenth and late fifteenth centuries, wonder still is excusable at the motive which led Lief and Eric and the others who ventured with them to prefer the east coaat of Greenland to that of Martha’s vineyard. Verily, there ia no accounting for tastes, but choice here made is not easily understood. Remains of the big and little farmsteads set up by those colo nists who fled from the wrath of the king in that fara way day still stand as monuments of the enterprise of a hardy people. Iceland carries on, and a new race has developed in the region where the Norsemen found big timber in plenty, grapes enough to fill them and gain for the land the name of Vinland, wild animals and wilder men, but seeming to lack some charm needed to hold them. The conclusion that can not be escaped is, to use a Minnesota formula, “Minne for Columbus, and ha ha for Lief the Lucky.” A BLESSING THAT MAY BE A CURSE. Today, as always, the world is ruled by women. Spain is rocked by revolution. A military dicta torship is set up. The very throne of Castile trem bles. And we learn that the cataclysm was pre cipitated by a powerful politician whose wife was snubbed by wives of other politicians who considered themselves her betters. In the same paper is a paragraph which tells of a man caught robbing a slot machine. He said he was trying to get money to buy his sweetheart a pair of silk stockings. Isn’t there something terrible about this power of woman? The softness of white arms, the redness of Cupid’s bow lips, the curve of a velvet cheek may upset man-made kingdoms or induce a penniless man to risk prison for a few dollars with which to buy silk stockings for his sweetheart. This mystic urge of the woman not always is malign. It is the power behind great achievement*. 1 Without it man wouldn’t build railroads and steam- 1 ships, and skyscrapers; he wouldn’t spend hours in laboratories; he wouldn’t venture to the unexplored places of the world; he wouldn’t write books. Back of each achievement is the woman with soft eyes and tender words of commendation and faith. Yea, though a man be of but small importance in the world, his wife may take as great pride in his little successes as though he were president of a railroad. Those women who take lightly their re sponsibilities and pull men down instead of push ing them up, distort a beneficent power into a curse. , HIS SOUL TRIUMPHED. A week ago almost unnoticed passed the cen tenary of a great American. It may have been unfortunate for Francis Parkman that another emi nent American was occupying public attention just at that time, but in years yet to come his name will shine with steady light, while that of Jack Dempsey will only be a mark in the record of the "P. R.” September 16, 1823, Francis Parkman was born, to grow up a great soul in a feeble body. He never gained much physical strength, hi* long journey over the Oregon ty-ail leaving him worse off instead of bettering his frail physique. Yet it provided him with material for one of the most subtly chnrming narratives In the English language. lie also gnined on that journey experience that strengthened a de termination already reached to write a history of the early relation* between the white and red men In America. This was later broadened, until the series of work* he produced stand tc justify the verdict pronounced by no less n critic tFian John Fisk* that they belong ‘‘In th* highest rank among the world's masterpieces, along with th* work* of Herodotus Thucydides, and Gibbon.” Blind for several years, lame, tortured by menta’ a* well a* bodily Ills, Parkman never swerved from his great undertaking, urn! finished in triumph. The world affords few examples to compare with him, hi* Inflexibility of soul carrying him over such moun tains of obstacles as not many men ever surmounted. The casual reader is delighted, and even the student at timps may forget that it is authoritative history he Is perusing, so great is the charm of stylo of this remarkable man, The Lantern By DON MARQUIS. When Earth Was Young. When Earth was young! What sights when Earth was young. What sights, what sounds, what flights of monstrous wing! / What lyric tigers from the dusk gave tongue! What quaint beasts couch’d to hear what Orpheus sang! What squirming dragons catched and mocked and drawn By pranky sirens through thq tinny sea! W'hat galloping centaurs up the slopes of dawn Sped with a thunderburst of hoofed glee! What chuckling humor sculped the flesh of earth To clownish shapes and whims and grins of art! What sudden beauty flashing through the mirth, What sudden terrors leaping at the heart! When Earth was young, what frolic revelry What moods grotesque, what plastic fantasy! Prize fighters are getting as touchy about their ages as popular actresses. It is only when a performer feels himself slipping that he takes the trouble to lie about his age. Capt. Peter Fitzurse, who will be 91! years old next March, Is proud of hlH years, and takes every opportunity to men tion his age. The captain, by the way, has his own method of testing liquor these days. He carries with him, always, a sword cane. He pours a little of the liquor on the blade, and if the liquid is so vicious and felonious that It eats Into and corrodes the steel, he knows it is too bad for him to drink. Then he makes the bootlegger who tried to wish it onto him drink three fingers of it. If the bootlegger re fuses the enptnin jams three fingers of the sword cane into the varlet’s gullet. Lots of men set out to make a mil lion dollars so earnestly that the nerve specialists charge them two millions to straighten them out again. The Failure of Civilization. The World Has always been Too dodgaated dignified To invent A good back scratches Marriage ... a theme prolific of epigrams and sterile of conclusions French Without a Struggle. I laugh until t am tied In knots At some of these here French bon mots. In order not to Influence a child one must first be careful not to he that child's parent or grandparent. Heredity being what It is—and isn't it wonderful!—we have the notion that when a child does wrong his parents should lie punished, and not he; It isn't he who hag done wrong. It Is his forbears; his father and mother should be warned agsinst hav ing any mors children of that sort. If a child shows himself incorrigible, however, he should he decently and quletlv beheaded at the age of 1?. leaf h* grow to maturity, marry and per patnate his nature. The vagabond Is the only kind of bond not subject to fluctuations of the market. No man should write of sorrow until he has conquered It and can laugh at it. Inconsistent Auntie.

WHAT HOWELL SAW IN ALASKA Salmon were formerly found In great numbers In the rivers of Cali fornia, Oregon and Washington, but Intensive fishing has practically wiped them out In California and largely so In Oregon. However, the Alaskan rivers afford a very valuable resource of this character. The salmon formerly made their way to the livers of Alaska In early sum mer In such numbers that one would almost believe one coyld cross the streams on their backs. As they get Into the higher reaches of the river, the salmon pair off, male and female continuing together, throughout the rest of their excursion to the spawn ing grounds. On the way up the rivers the sal mon are beset by numerous foes; chief among these Is man, hut the hears of the region are also very de structive, as they will take their posts at some strategic point along the stream and, as the salmon pass, will throw them out on the river bank In great numbers, thus destroying many more than they eat. In fact, they seem to enjoy fishing as much as do humans. As the pair of salmon makes Its way up the river, It negotiates rap ids, jumps falls and, after many hard knocks, a lucky pair finally reaches the spawning grounds much the worse f ir wear; In fact, they look mur-h like veterans. Upon reaching the end of their travels, they proceed to dig a nest In the gravel, often three or four feet leep, and then the female begins to deposit the eggs, which are fertilized by the milt of the male; then a layer of gravel Is deposited over the eggs. Then another layer of eggs Is put down, and so on until the nest is filled. While this is going on, the calico trout watch on every side, every now and then darting In and feeding on the eggs. Of course they are chased away by the fish, but. nevertheless, during the spawning season the calico trout when taken, are found to he full of salmon eggs. After the nest is completed, the sal mon swim slowly away, linger around for about a week, turn upon their sides and die, and thus the salmon finishes the cycle of its life. At the end of about six months the eggs hatch, and when th* young sal mon grow to three or four Inches In length thev make th»lr wav down the rivers to the sea, one species to reach maturity and return In tw-o years, another In three years, and the red salmon of commerce in four years While In the sea the salmon travel zreat distances sometimes they sre found 400 or 500 miles away from their native rivers, hut when the time comes for them to return and spawn upon the grounds where thev were hatched they do so with unerring ac ~uracy. every salmon returning to Its particular stream R.

And the shadows lie cool Over each amber pool By the side of the dreaming river. Out on the roadway, the dust mounts high, 4 Swirls high In the air and turning, Falls in a haze from a dazzling sky Where the August sun 1s burning; Burning the milkweeds. Bursting the weed seeds While the highway sighs, choking and yearning. Hot Is the breeze where the highway lies Under the blaze and quivers. Cool Is the air for the dragonflies And the depths where the brown carp shivers. s Bow hum the wild bees, Dusty and tired bees Beaded with treasure from wild flower givers. Hold dance the butterflies out on the highway, Flutter and settle like gay autumn leaves. - Hray is the stubble clipped close to (he byway; Holden the treasure of harvested sheaves.

MacNeiU, pastor of Grace Itaptiat church, Tenth and Arbor streets. Sunday evening on the subject, "Where Are the I’o lice," follows: Where are the police? Text, Ezek. 33:7: "So thou, oh son Of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel." A good place to study the CopStF tutlon of the United States Is to study the police force of your own city. The very name "police1’ is the Eng lish form of the Greek word for city. The police department is the city's most effective advertisement bureau. It can neutralize the Chamber of Com merce efforts or Intensify them as it Is efficient or inefficient. Furthermore, the police department is the mirror in which the average citizen can see what he thinks of the law and the constitution. The police department in the last analysis is you. If It is inefficient it is because you want It so: if It Is efficient It is because you are on the job. Give the police force the whole-hearted hack ing of the law respecting citizenry and the results will be immediately apparent. Morale la as necessary for winning the battles of peace as it Is for war. It Is a vital necessity In policing a city. Incessant and covert attacks from whatever source If they suc ceed In their purpose mean a crook's hand In your pocket or his bullet in your heart. Policing a city Is a hard and thankless job. And the way to make It easier Is for us to be more appreciative. And the way to that happy condition Is to have the bat teries of our life recharged with the spirit of America. What makes the Constitution of the United States a great document? Not alone the provisions It contains. But rather the spirit that breather through ft. Its mother was love of liberty and Its father the dauntless spirit that achieved It. When the sacred document becomes flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone, then shall we become true progenitors of the faith of our fathers. It has been well said that America Is a spirit, not a geographical boun dary merely. There are those born here who don’t belong here. Ameri canism. like Christianity, on which it Is founded.
