TO THE CITIZENS OF OMAHA :
After many delays and disappointments caused by
circumstances beyond my control , I am prepared to announce
that the Benson and Halcyon Pleights electric motor line , formerly knoivn as the Benson line , is
now in coiirse of construction , and we hope to have it in operation in 30 days or less. The fare
from Benson to the bitsiness portion of the city will be 5 cents , thus giving residents all the advan
tages of city reeidence , with the cheapness , healthftdness and beauty of suburban homes. To the *
first fifty piirchasers jfor improvement I will offer inducements such as have never before beei
r
offered in Omaha. We will be prepared Monday ( tomorrow ) to show c ( stomers , who mean
business , acres , half acres and fifty-foot lots ,

DrooMim Life.
I kissed her. Yes , I will admit It ;
Wo two wore alone in the hall.
Her " rojos were rod , and the portumo
"GiK4nto my head ; that wns all ,
JBvJovo ! but It wasn't my fault , man
'Twas her own she wns ravishing fair ;
Her lips were like roso-Icaves uncurling
And her eyes were like stars , and her hair
Was ns sweet as the breath of wild vlolots.
Lord love you I how could.I resist !
A man's only human whatever ,
And that woman was made to bo kissed.
A nouni.R LOSS.
I'ute littitnl.
I BHtht > m on the stairway , In a cozy nook
and dim ,
A dainty little maiden , with bright eyes and
llgnre slim ,
And sitting close beside her 'twas n very
narrow place
A man who fanned her blotvly and watched 1
her pretty face.
Ho cently pressed her fingers and said he'd 1
lost his heart ,
And told her how ho loved her ; ho swore
they'd ' never part.
And then I do not blame him , sbo looked so
very sweet
Ho drew her gently downward and kissed
her rosy cheek.
Of course this Httlo maiden thought this was
" very bold ,
"But for worlds she would not say so lest ho ,
should think her cold.
Yet Mio whispered to him shyly , whllo
blushing deepest rod ,
"A moment slnco you lost your heart ; now
you've lost your head.1'
Thcro has been Httlo doing In the social
life of thn city the past week , and the future
gives Httlo promise of anything brighter than
the present condition of affairs.
It Is quite safe to write "Unis" after the
leasou ot lsKfor ! ) the few entertainments yet
to bo given before warm weather drives thn
fashlonablo to the ocean or mountain , will
prob.iblv partake of the nature of out-of-door
lotos rather than crushes within.
Alay dnv will bring a number of lawn par
lies , but outside of thojo , n few dinners ,
luncheons and several card parties , the sea-
ion Is virtually ended , and everybody seems
happy that spring has placed nn embargo
npon the affairs of the beau inondo.
In those tin do sleclo days , to bold the at
tention nnd Interest of the leaders of society ,
requires that entertainments must have the
itanip of novelty about them , that hostesses
must show Ingenuity in the arrangement of
their establishments , and for that matter , la
everything brought into use by reason of the
entertainment.
Therefore , It is no easy affair In these
'Ume-bottorlngdays" to successfully carry
utu proposed party , dance , bull , or what- ,
ovc > < is decided upon , for the reason
rhat so great are the requirements
ktplucod upon the successful hostoss.
tsel
4 Kaeh year society becomes moro exacting.
It requires moro to amuse and Interest It , nnd
until the elaborate entertainments of the
present give way to a demand for leas she w
nod more congenial feeling , the present co tvi
dltlon of affairs will exist. In London there
Is a gro IMC doslro for simpler modes of
amusement ; in Now York the representative
women are found Intensely interested In
things American , ana wo mar look forward
next season to the revival of the entertain
ments which gave our grandfathers and
grandmothers pleasure generations ago.
At best tuo successful leader Is the woman
who can devise something now in the way of
entertaining her lady friends and carrying
the innovation to a delightful conclusion.
"The old order changoth , giving place to
new , " so sings , the poet laureate of the cravcr
things of Hfo , and so echoes gaily fashion's
dictatorial herald , who comes from no ono
knows where , but whoso dictum is as abso
lute nnd final ns wore the old laws of the
Modes and Persians.
Well , the most audacious of tnls fickle dic
tator's mandates for this season is the fiat
against champagne at dinner parties I O ,
what a weeping and a wailing there will bo
when this becomes generally known and
acted upon. The "smart" people are already
adopting the change , nnd what the smart
pnoplo do lesser folk will imitate with alac
rity. Wine. In fact , Is distinctly going out ;
the chlo thing now is to nsk for Apolllnnri.s
or Hoshback , the now craze In table waters ,
which Is served in beautiful heavily-engraved
crystal goblets.
The craze of the moment Is for old silver In
every shape nnd form ; heirlooms your own ,
If possible , If not , why then , other people's ,
which you can buy silver bowls , cups ,
vases , boskets , plateaus , ail are pressed into
service and in them nro arranged the very
few cholco blossoms fashion permits. Certain -
tain grandos dames , whoso dinners nro features -
tures In society , seloot ono flower and stick
to It ; as , for example , the American Duchess
of Alarlborough , who never uses anything
but the rarest orchids from the Blenheim
houses ,
Nappory also Is a point do resistance. It
should bo ttio llno.it , purest damask , garni at
each end , and with a piece of deep old Span
ish lace , or English point applique , yellow
with ago and lineage.
Another fad of the day Is the unearthing
and using of nil kindsol prize trophies , silver ,
of course. Cups , bowls , basins , nothing
comes amiss , and thnco blessed Is ho who
posseses u veritable "pewter pot , " the spoil
of a past generation. At luncheon time these
picclouspots come out In full force , nnd it Is
do rigueur in smart circles that intimate
guests coming to partake or that informal
meal should bring not their "sheaves" but
their pots with them , out of which they
quntT light ale , sherry and apolltnarls , or
claret or seltzer as fancy dictates. What the
proverbial British bath tub of old was to tbo
Paris Chlnvurrl , so now is the aristocratic
"pot" of the ultra lln uo slcclc mondaino.

Miss Freeman , it will bo remembered ,

of January 12 , 18SS , slnco whlcn time her
name Is familiar to almost ovorv school boy
and girl In the country. Miss Freeman had
a number of small scholars In her school and
at once dismissed the various classes. Real
izing the fact that the pupils could not reach
their homos In safety , she secured a small
rope used by the scholars In the familiar
past-tlmo of "skipping rope , " and she tied
the little ones together and fastened the end
about her own body. When this was done
she started out in the blinding snow storm
for the homos of her pupils. The snow was
falling In sheets mid tuo wind wns blowing
bitter cold , but with determination and en
ergy the Httlo schoolma'nm trudged along ,
stopping every now and then to say a cheer
ful word to the Httlo ones who wore crying
with fright nnd moaning with pain. In this
way Miss Freeman reached u farm house ,
half a mile away from the school , whore the
entire brood was cared for.
Her heroism was learned of In Omaha
and nt once a fund was started for her bone-
lit. Letters poured In upon her nnd the
modest rctlriiic woman found herself one
morning famous.
At B o'clock the wedding party entered the
parlor of the hotel , MUs Freeman , Mr. Pen
ney. Miss P. Cushlug of Columbus , the

ton , the groom's best man. The bridal part.\
