AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS LEAD THE LIST
Ulnnrr n( th linrrnck Our of the
Most Snrrrfnl rtinctlnn ut
the Sort Brer Carried
Ont.
Twelve o'clock, hist noon, of Thanksgiv
ing day, was the hour set for the free din
ner atr tho American Volunteer headquart
er; 117 North Fifteenth stroot, but scores
of those who had been bidden to the feast
were forehanded nnd before Lieutenant
Vlolot Bpono and her corps of assistants
had begun to peal tho potatoes there wan
an argregatlod of clamerous young appe
tltea banked up against tho front door.
From that time on the crowd .lowly took
on accretions. It was easily soon that the
Afro-Americana predominated, for It had
been given out that turkey would bo nerved,
and tf there's anything a little negro boy
likes better than 'possum, sweet potatoes
and chlttllns, It's turkey. Then, aa the
momenta dragged by fumes of the roast
meat and aago dressing were wafted out
over the transom and ho throng outside
surged tumultously.
Those who chmo first took up their stand
on the threshold, and remained thero until
pulled away by bigger boy. On the out
skirts little girls romped, becaus. It wasn't
ladylike to mingle with the rude boys In
tbo crush.
' Hnld on the Tables,
At last an Incautious Volunteer on the
Inside unlocked tho door, and tho next In
etant was almost born off his feet by the
flying wedgo of "newsies" and bootblacks
that pourod In from tho street. Thero was
not a caso of dyspepsia In the crowd. Not
ono of them needed a tonto or an nppettzer.
It W tho most ravenous company that ever
fluttered tho handicraft of a cook, and tho
way they charged tho brenstworka of that
Volunteer turkey "would have won Water
loo for Napoleon.
Tbo aontlncl nt the entrance called for re
inforcements and with their nld forced tho
door shut In tho face of a disappointed
rabble.
':Tab)e all full!" ho shouted at them.
"Your turn next!"
Then Lloutonant E. S. McCoy said a
blessing, mercifully brief, and tho feast
wan on.
For a halt hour tho big room teemed with
' Itisclothf odors, sounds of munching and
pungent bit's of conversation.
,rlly, Tedrow! I'nss th' stufflnl" piped
n small voice, Just after Lieutenant C. V.
Btrayer had murmured, "They're off!" Then
enmo such ejaculations aa these:
"Wowl Petto'a ot nil tho plcgles!"
"Say, mister, don't I git no applcsass?"
"Nettle's' found two wishbones! No fair!"
"Humph! Who wants spuds! Wo got ta
tera to hornet''
"Bay, Is your namo Jna? Well, then
lay over and don't lean?"
"A cut o' th' dnrk meat, pleaso."
"I'nund hl back! llo'a chokln'l"
"No fair throwln th' drumsticks!"
"HoyJ Break away doro! (this from the
pulNldo s the door opened n procarlous nix'
Inches) .1; youao goln to ohew all uayi
Too tinny for Thank.
And so It went, throughout the entlro
llrsl "relay." There was' no doubt but that
tho "guests" were ShanCltil.vbut-they" were
too busy to know It. it was" very evident
hIso that they wero all city ihlldren, be
caimo tho big bowl, of thick gravy that sot
about wcro mystfcrlcs to them. Most of
them vouchsafed only a susrlclous glanci
and passed thorn by, putting piipper and salt
on tholr potatoes Instead, but ono little lad
called "Dago" was not to bu cheated out
of anything 'lhat was going simply because
he didn't -understand It. "When tho bowl
camo hla way he deposited It on his plate,
cruramod bread ,ln It and nto It for noup.
And ho said It was "bully."
About this time tho mandolin and guitar
quartet struck up "Tho Irish Washor
Woman," nnd tho maxlllarles of the diners
bad to movo faster to keep time to It.
"Hey, pass do cheese!" shouted a little
epicure named Sammlo fllmon, as ho con
templated his cut of npplo pie.
"Ilalnt no cheese," was tho retort of hla
neighbor.
"Humph! Who ever heard of plo with
out cheeso!" and ho shoved tho pastry con
temptuously away.
Another lad, less particular, ato tho
dainty and Just as tho last mouthful disap
peared the cheoso came along, and then
Sammlo told tho lad ho would meet him In
tbo alley after dinner.
A little negro lad who answers to the
pround patronymic of Clyde Clifton Taylor,
leaned back In his chair with languid lux
uriance and beckoned to Alde-de-Camp
qeorge W. Andrlck to approach. He spoko
not a' word as tho officer bent over him,
but went through a pantomime that told
tho story. Pointing with ono hand to tho
pllo ot turkey bones on his plato, ho mado
a caressing motion with tho other over his
stouiapb, which' was bowed out Ilko an
alderman's. The look of "seraphlo satisfac
tion nnd contentment on the lad's face at
that moment was a Study for a painter.
Then another relay of appetites was ad
mitted, followed by another and another.
Ijite'r In the day a great many old peopto
wero 'fed. - It Is estimated that altogether
fully 200 persons partook of tho hospitality
of the Volunteers. '
Here Is tho bill ot fare Turkoy with sage
dressing and gravy, bread and butter, roast

did bis share la making this Thanksgiving
day what It wis Intended to bo. Ho cave
a dinner; not a scven-courie affair, but
very substantial meal, and he had tor hla
Invited guests nearly a dozen boys ot the
street, with awesome appetite and tow
opportunities to fully gratify them.
There was "Trilby," a lad with pitifully
distorted ankle and feet, and "Wingless,"
v. ho lost aa arm In a street car accident
three years ago, and "Spots," 'the wonder
fully freckled little ron of the old sod; and
"Shorty" and "Pete" and "Muggins," and
Jusl "de kids."
Theywent to Tony's home as soon as tho
demand -for morning papers and chrysanthe
mums was; supplied and Tony was his owp
butler and his own receiving committee, as
well as host. Mrs. Tony was In the lean-to
kitchen with her sleoves up and her hair
down, nnd she had been there so long and
had been so Industrious while she was
there that dinner was ready early.
Tony took the head of the table and the
crippled boys got the two choirs next to
him. Tho other boys balanced themselves
on upturned fruit boxes. Mrs. Tony stood
up to watch tho boiling pots and the dog.
No ono but Tony and Tony's wlto may
ever know all that was served at that meal,
for "Muggins," whom the boys appointed to
"tell the polpers" about It, couldn't name
a single article on tho blll-of-fare. He
could only describe them as "some long
stringy stuff with cheese In it," or as "the
hottest soup whatever " or as "some kind
ot soft meat with onions enough over it to
flag a dray."
At the last, Tony served each boy with a
very little ot tho contents of, a long, dark
bottle and then ho made a npeech thirteen
words long, and "Muggins" made a speech
almost halt that long and was so frustrated
when ho sat down that he tipped over his
box .neat and the dog barked at him and
tho dinner broke up. For obvious reasoos
Tony couldn't lead his guests Into the con
servatory or the music room, so he took
them over to his frnlf stand and gave each
an orango as a parting favor.

Their Distribution of Provision.
Makes the Morning Fairly f.tvely.
Owing to the Imperative condition ot tho
Associated Charities, It remained for Dean
Fair, Mrs. Pear man nnd a few others to
form a substitute organization, which they
styled the City Charities, to provide
Thanksgiving dinners for the several hun
dred of tho city's poor, who, but for tho
efforts ot such friends, would know little
dlfferenco between Thanksgiving and any
other day.
For a fortnight past they have solicited
clothing and provisions, all ot which were
gathered In yesterday and gotten ready for
the distribution, which occurred trom
ono of tho store rooms In tho lower part of
the building formerly occupied by the
Child Saving Institute at eighteenth and
St. Mary'a avenue. Klght o'clock was the
tlmo announced for the doora to open, hut
long before that hour a motley assembly
ot a hundred or more men, women and
children, chiefly tho two last named, earh
with a basket, had arrived, and stood fthlv
erlng about tho entrance, if possible, they
were n llttlo more thinly clad than usual
and there was a noticeable presence of tod
dlers.
When tho doors were at last opened thero
wan a rush for tho long counter which
stood across tho rear of tho room, and a
lively skirmish for places In the front row,
In which the dodging propcnsltlCB of the
children were woll matched with the su
perlor strength of their oltJers, and when
tho crowd hart been restored to some
semblance of order tho counter line posi
tions were about equally divided between
them. Then began tho process 'of ascer
taining Bomethlntr of Hi, anollcantn that
Justice might bo dono all, each basket tielng
filled with chicken, potatoes, bread, coffee,
sugar and the customary components ot the
Thanksgiving; dinner, nnd ns It was handed
to Its owner ho passed out to make room tor
the next one. All morning this continued,
tho steady arrival of children from all
quarters of tho city maintaining nn averngfl
of fifty or sixty endeavoring to push to the
front or see aomo friend do so.
In tho mcnntlmo many of the early ar
rivals had Hot down their backets to wait for
aomo less punctual trleud still vorklnk for
ward and It was out of this thut tho only
troublo of tho morning arose. Tho holiday
occasion and prospect of n dinner had
added somewhat tn tho natural cheerfulness
of tho street urchins, and being relieved
of all anxiety regarding the securing of
their shore, some of tho waltlnc ones with
their smaller brothers becamo hilarious
and for a few minutes tholr effervesconco
threatened to create troublo by arousing
ill feeling among those who wero still tin
provided ror, and whoso chances were
momentarily growing Ices. Troublo wan
averted, howover, by an experienced worker
who called out that It was about tlmo for
thoso who wanted any of the Volunteers
dinner, to bo gottlng down thero. The
effect was Instantaneous. "Where's It at"
camo In a cborus'trom tho waiting ones
and tho reply, "Flftocnth and Dodge"
had scarcely been given beforo tho young
sters went tearing out of tbo door and
rellovcd the room of Its surplus crowd
It was almost noon before tho supply of
provisions was exhausted and tho workers
estimated that about 150 families had been
provided for. ,

The night shift at the city Jail has a

wroth becauso tho day tldo served n big
turkey dinner to tho prisoners nnd left
them to administer to tho over-fed men

cert for tho night shift, which will make
tho performance tonight seem like Undo
Tom's Cabin parddo compared to Caesar's
triumphant entry Into Rome. Our dinner
will not only Inclitdo turkey and mlnco pic,
but fresh cucumbers as woll."
Yesterday the prisoners wero treated to a
feast of fowl, mlnco plo and other things
good. Sonift wero suspected oven of break

dlnnor, and while they wcro not disap
pointed a majority pRld dearly for tho

proNc? of the feast. Tho song servlco con-
lsted of everything from the latest tan-
tlmo to "Home, Hwcct Homo." About 10
o'clock occurred n brief Interval ot quiet,
broken only by an occasional nnore.
Suddenly from out of cell No. 13, occupied
by Ocorgo Strieker, camo a series of groans
that startled the entlro Jail force. Drs.
Mullen nnd Henawa, acting for Police Sur

n rush made for the cell. Thp prisoner wob

lilonitiy Intermissions.
During the Intermission the Cadet band
paraded the gridiron, playing a lively air,
but the audlenco was gloomy and qulcj.
The rooters maintained silence and tho peo
ple began to wonder how It all hud hap
pened. Tho teams were taken Into secludjd
spots for a little private drill and Instruc
tion by their coaches.
In the second halt the teams changed
goals, thus giving the Cornhuskers the
advantage ot the wind the Indiana had lit
the first, which was by no means small.
The Irdluns kicked off aud Drain caught
tho ball and advanced with It twenty
yards, gracefully dodging tho Indians, who
wero close upon him. The Nebraska men
seemed to have regained their spirits, for
thoy played with somethng like tholr old
time effectiveness.
On the first down Drain took the ball aud
punted Into the Indian territory nnd n
fumblo by nn Indian kopt the ball still
In Nebraska's possession. Then by swift,
terrific work the ball was carried gradually
and steadily nearer tho goal, until It wns
lost one foot from tho lino on the third
down. Only a few Inches more would havo
scored a touchdown, but the distance was
too great to be overcome.
It was a critical point and the crowds
awaited with breathless Interest the out
come ot this play, In which Nebraska had
an opportunity to cross the much coveted
coal.
Nebraska' Lost Opportunity.
Dut the swarthy Indians rallied at the
opportune moment and prevented that
which would havo cheered the hearts of the
3,000 loyal Nebraska supporters who
crowded the stands. Tho Indians attempted
to work out Into the field, but wero held
back nnd forced to punt, which gavo Ne
braska tho ball out of bounds, opposlto
tho twenty-yard line.
Again Nebraska spirits soared upward.
Tho ball wus twenty yards almost directly
In front ot the goal and In Nebraska's pos
session and tho first down had not been
ronde. Tho Cornhuskers nroso to tho
emergency nnd on two downs advanced flvo
yards. Repeated gains brought tho ball to
within two ynrds ot tho goal line. Hut
tho spirits dropped as suddenly ns they
bad risen, for tho ball wos lost onco more
within two feet ot tho goal lino on the
third down. With easy but email gains
tbo Indians brought tho ball bark to tho
contcr of tho field, where It was recovered
by Nebraska and punted to the Indians'
23-ynrd line. Tho Indians returned with
a punt and tho Cornhtiokcrs repealed tho
play, sending tho hall back to tho Indlnns!
33-yard line, where It was caught by Kings
bury after It had been mlssotl by one of
tho dusky Itcdmcn. Archlquottc's braves
for tho tlmo seemed demoralized and tho
pnlc-faces gained slowly but steadily on
.straight lino bucking. Nearer and nearer
tho ball was pushed towards tho goali The
band struck up "There's" be a.hot tlmo" and
the rooters Joined In tile refrain.
Cionl nt Liint.
Two yards from tho goal lino Plllshury

cleared tho great abyss. Drain followed
with n goal, making the scorn 6 to 10. For
tho first tUno slnco thp gamo begon tho
crowd showed real enthusiasm. Tho band
played and the rootera shouted. Thero wcro
ten minium left mm in ymji penoct anmurr
touchdown might bo gained. Nebraska
spirits aroso In a bound. Coach Hooth out

lethargy tmd u smllo lighted up his coun
tenance. Manager Cowglll seized a plno
stick nnd whittled it nervously. Tho In
dians kicked off Into Ncbrnska torrltoryl
but tho boll was returned on tlownB, each
play gaining soverol yards.
Again Piooth's douhlo pass was used anil
Drain went around tho left end for twenty-
flvo yards. It was a great run nnd eheer
after cheer went up as tho ball was car
ried nearer the goal. The run brought
the ball to tho- twenty-yard lino nnd tho
remaining distance wns easy. A touchdown
by Dell and a clear goal by Drain mado tho
score 12 to iu. ranacmonium was supreme.
Hnts went Into tho air. Substitutes and
spectators out on tbo sldo lines pranced
In their enthusiasm ana tho rooters sont
forth yell after yell. Tho day had been
saved for Nebraska and everybody rose In
a riot of gladness.
Tho ball was again kicked oft by tho
Indians and downed by Nebraska on tho
twenty-yard lino. It was quickly brought
Into play and given to Ucndcr, who, by a
mighty effort dashed through nn opening
nt loft guard and ran clear on down tho
ontlro length of tho field for ninety yards
and scored a touchdown. If Nebraska's
supporters were glad beforo thoy wero now
overjoyed. They wcro wild with enthu
siasm. Whirlwind of Hurrahs.
Never In this season and seldom In
seasons past had thero been such a demon

ten Nebraska players gathered about their
champion, lifted him high above their heads
and carried him triumphantly out on tho field
amid deafening applauso from the benches.
The run was a spectacular performanco and
It stirred every person In tho assemblage,
Drain llftc1 the hall prettily over tho goal

THE STORY OF THE
LATE MRS. BROWN.
It is admitted that her uamc was not
flrowu. For obvious reasons It Is not
wise to mention names in such a case,
For the facts of tliU life story arts so
common that otiv woman could relate
them to some of her married friends,
and probably might do so, if the name
happened to fit. Therefore, n real atory
is printed under a wrong name,
'Vhen Mrs. Brown married she was
what every one called a remarkably fine
girl. She was the very picture of health.
She knew nothing about headaches or
nerves, but enjoyed life thoroughly
working or playing. Hvcrybcxly called
Urown a luckv man, and Ilrown thought
so himself. After the first baby came,
Mrs. Brown began to feci tired sometimes
at the end of the day, Then there come
another little guest, and the mother used
to feel tired before the end of the day
came, She knew now that she had
nerves, nnd also had learned the mean
ing of headache. About tills time peo
ple used to speak of Mrs. Brown's falling
off in looks. Her figure lost iu graceful
lines, her checks their rosy plumpness.
Mr. Brown wasn't losing Anything, by
the way. He was putting on flesh, nnd
showed in every way the comfortable
ease of a man who has a good home aud
good wife to manage it. Mr. Brown
believed in large families, lvvery visit
of the stork waa to him a cause of happi
ness. No man could have been more
proud of his family. He didn't realise
either his own selfishness or his wife's
sacrifices. If he had seen a true picture
of hio family life it would have shown
him in a cart surrounded by a happy
family and his wife in the shafts wearily,
but willingly, drawing ths heavy load.
They got just one too many on the load
at lost, nnd after that the neighbors
spoke of the late Mrs. Brown.
PAST-I.ITINO WOMBN.
It is not only the women who turn
night .into day and sacrifice health to
pleasure who live fast. The wife and
mother who in household duties nnd
maternal cares exhausts vitality more
rapidly than" it can be supplied, is also
living fast, and fast living does not mean
long living. 1n a normal condition of
health a woman is equal to all proper
womanly obligations. She can guide
the house and rear A family, and at
a grandmother still show the signs
of womanly beauty and strength. But
so few women arc normally healthy.
Their vitality is often lessened by un
healthy drains, by disease of the delicate
womanly organs, while the household
cares increase-as the family grows. Ev
ery child gets its strength from its
mother. As a fact, the prospective
mother should be relieved from every
possible burden and anxiety, instead of
which she carries the household burden
to the. last. Is it any wonder that under
these circumstances her strength fails,
