CLOSE TO NATURE'S HEART A Pretty Pen Picture of a Cnmp Un iquely Placed Among the Thickets of the Elkhorn River The Joy of Living In the Pure , Fresh Air. On n pleasant afternoon ehrly In the prcBcnt week Dr. Ann K. Leonard and the writer of tltoBe rcmlnlHceneeu drove down to the camp of Fred Ho- hco on the Elkhorn , near Stnnlon. Mr. lioheo Is a giant and a product of Nebraska. Almost seven feet an 1 weighing a trifle under three hun dred pounds , with a chest moiimiro- inent of forty-nino Inchon , his pio- poitloim are not BO meagre an to un lit him for the title of champion big man of Madison county. Ho llxos the year around In n tent , Bcornln : ; the enervating ntimmphcro of modern domiciles nnd the debilitating influ ences of city life. During summer ho has work to do but In winter lie trnps , matching his wits against , tlio cunning of the creatures ho ensnares , and the victories ho wrests from the rlvor nro no less enviable tbnn those attained In other vocations , while bo- Hides there IB the added charm of liv ing near to nature's heart , of loa-nlng and enjoying her secrets nnd wlUinl having lohnst health nnd n mind BO- rene nnd free from HfJ'a cares nnd temptations. Lot thtwo who Btrugglo with the abstruse scientific , financial or social problems of our civilization and who Hiicer nt tlio dweller In the wlldcrnesH , try to wro.s't a compe tency from so unpromising a Held as the Elkhorn river during the present winter nnd they will hnvo n higher regard for the prowess , the gonlns nnd solf-Bufllclcncy of the man who , living within the law and respecting the rights of others , compclH so aus tere nn environment to yield n rich reward for his labors. Who shall decide what constitutes a well spent life ? Ono pursues wealth , ar.other adventure , still another pleasure nnd the gratification of appetites nnd passions. Some restless spirit seeks nov } eldorndos to discover the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. To symbolize man's dominion and pro claim his empire a forest that took a thousand years to mature Is swept away with ruthless desecration and destruction. In all this hurrying and scurrying nnd gratification one man leads a kindly , peaceful life fnr from the world's stress and strife , Its grime and greed and who shall sny thnt his IB n solllsh or misspent llfo ? "Tho boast of heraldry , the pomp of power , And all .that beauty , and all that wealth o'er gave Await alike the inevitable hour ; The paths of glory lend but to the grave. " 'Twas Good to be Fres. It was goqd to be out thorp In the woods away from the pollution of gregarious mankind , to feel the lungs expand In response to the Increased demand for oxygen nnd the pulses tingle with thnt same llfe-glvlng ele ment Oh ! the gyves that civiliza tion shackles us with the vices , dis eases , sins and crimes , and out there fn the silent places wo felt ourselves to bo shabby , petty nnd unclean with a yearning to bo nobler and better Nature is n subtle monitor that prompts a man to live nnd net his best In the city her voice is stifled nnd she Is dumb. Men llko Russel Sago never took n vacation nor al lowed any one else to if they could help It Sngc Is rich , childless nnd a dyspeptic and at the age of seventy Is still holding In his hand the penny placed there when he was born , and what good does ho receive from It all ? Man needs but little hero below , but what ho needs most and longest Is not purchaseablo with money. In the United States 220,000 'persons die annually of tuberculosis , a disease that could be inrgely prevented by proper living. To sleep beneath the shade of the fabled Upas tree would bo no more deadly than to live the way wo do in our homes , schools and business places. Men like Russel Sage who require little except hoardIng - Ing money to sustain life may live thus to a ripe old ago , but many per sons need nlr and sunlight , exercise and food. The Air Stimulates. Down at the camp we met Harry Lodor who had been there a week en joying the rest cure of that famous resort We had taken with us to camp n package of first aid , but the necessity for its use censed to exist as no ono desired It It is a signifi cant commentary on our civilization thnt those who dwell within the soli tudes of nature have no use or crav ing for stimulants. It was surprising the variety of bird llfo wo found around the camp. Quail were fairly numerous and wo saw a robin nnd a grouse , the latter ( driven hero by the storms north of us. Wo hoard the wolves big timber wolves howl ing at nightfall , and the pelt of a big fellow in camp bore silent testimony to their existence. Pelts of various animals nbout the place reminded us of the craft of our host Otter sell for ? 15 , mink for $5 nnd other pelts for less. The otter is a ruthless de stroyer ono pair being capable of cleaning the fish from n trout stream In n single season. The mink IB the rnHcnl par excellence of nil "var mints. " Ho destroys llHh , birds' nests , hibernating mammals nnd uatrachl- IIIIH , kills the mother bird brooding on her nest or the Btiulrrol nnd rnbblt while Buckling their young. Ho kills for the lust of killing rnrely eating lilw victims. Rabbits were numerous about the camp and , Mr. Dohco not having n Hhot gun , the Invndnrs borrowed ono anil got a rabbit for supper. It wns fried till brown with crisp bacon nnd tills with fresh eggs , toast , cream , butter , coffee and sanco prepared by that Inimitable chef Harry Lodor , lusted llko n bninpiot. We returned home with the moon light flooding the woild with light and Blept a dreamless sleep , soothed to Hlumhor by lingering echoes In our minds of the wind sighing among the willows nnd the lullaby of the river gurgling beneath Its fetters of Ice and bearing in our heails the joys of a perfect outing nnd a tender regard for our genial , big-hearted , big-bodied host lioheo of the camps nmong the thickets nnd sand dunes of the Elk- horn.

EXCURSION RATES TO THE PAR SIFAL ( IN ENGLISH ) FESTIV AL AT OMAHA.1 Nothing so beautiful lias ever been seen on the American stage as Henry W. Savage's production in English of Itichard Wagner's sacred music- ilrama , "Parsifal , " which will receive : hreo performances nt Boyd's theater , Omaha , the series to bo devoted to the two nights Tuesday and Wednes- ilny , Mnrch II nnd 15 , with nn extra afternoon performance on Wednes- lay , March , 15. In "Parsifal" there are six great scenes , ono of which is repeated , and sill of them demand the highest art of the scene painter and the shrewdest Ingenuity of the stage mechanic and ? lectrlclnn. There nro the great pan- arnmns In the first nnd Inst acts , nnd the two transformation scenes in the second net. The panoramas depict the progress of Pnrslfal nnd Gnrne- * manz from the depth of the forest up the rugged , lofty mountain on which the temple of the Grail Is .situated. The transformation scenes bring about the substitution for Kllngsor's gloomy castle of the most beautiful magic flower garden and ngain the change In the twinkling of nn eye of this flower garden into a stony desert. The first scene of "Parsifal" shows the depths of a beautiful forest with a sparkling lake in the distance. The second is in the interior of the castle with its round table for the knights ' nnd its high altar of the Grail. The first scene of the second act shows the gloomy interior of n tower in the Magician Kllngsor's cnstlo where the evil one summons with his wicked In cantations Knndry with the hope of having her seduce for him the coming hero. This changes on one of Wag ner's most beautiful fancies , the Mag ic flower garden , with its luxurious tropical growth and Its flower be decked sirens ns tropical nnd as mag ical as the garden itself. This garden in turn when Parsifal makes the sign of the cross with the sacred spear , becomes a scene of ruin and desola tion. tion.The The first scene of the third act is a flowery meadow in all the splendor of spring beauty , typical of the lovely old legend that Wagner brings out In his Good Friday spell , that Good Fri day is not n day for mourning , but Is a day when nature Is her loveliest , since all the flowers have grown beau tiful from the tears of repentant sin ners. Then again we are taken to th < Grail castle where the final solemi glorification ends the work. The evening performances of "Par slfal" will begin at 5:30 : p. m. Th < first act , which is the longest of th < three , will require an hour and forty five minutes , nnd then will bo nn in termisslon of one hour and flfteer minutes for dinner. The second ac begins promptly at 8:30 o'clock ant will end at 9:35. : An Intermission o twenty minutes then ensues. Will the beginning of the third and las' ' act at 9:50 : It Is brought to a close ai 10-lo : p. m. , at which hour carriages may be ordered. The afternoon per fonnnnces of "Parsifal" begin at 11 In the morning with the followinf schedule : Act 1 , 11 a. m. to 12:45 : p m. . luncheon ; net 2 , 1:45 : to 2:50 : ; nci 3 , from 3:03 to 4 p. m. At the con elusion of the first net of "Parsifal" al both evening and mntlnee porformnnc es the hotels nnd restaurants in the vicinity of Boyd's theater will be ready to servo the "Parsifal" patrons with both dinner and luncheon.

Orders by mall accompanied by certified checks ot money orders will bo filed and filled In order of their receipt Send with your orders n self addressed envelope for return of the reserved seats. The scale of prices for the "Parsi fal" in English festival performances at Boyd's theater , Omaha , nro $3.00 , $2.50 , $2.00 , $ L50 nnd $1.00 according to location which , when ono conshl ers the exponce of a production in volving the services of a company ot 200 principals and chorus nnd nn or chestra , of GO famous musicians , is re markably reasonable.
