VALUABLE AND USEFUL PORTFOLIO
rjolleetions of Photograph Which
Aid In Studying Painting- aad
Sculpture Loaned to In- '
. estimating; Clubs.
Club women who attended the Los Angeles
biennial and thousands of others who were
privileged to read the detailed accounts of
the various programs presented there, in
Spite of the general Information that has
resulted from their efforts in behalf of reci
procity, traveling libraries and their many
adjuncts, were -not a little surprised at the
proportions thai plan of circulating educa
tion has assumed; at the many branches
that have been Included during the last few
years and the enlargement and efficiency in
the study that has resulted from it.
In all of that splendid showing of plans
and results probably none of the circulating
helps Indicated greater Increase or improve
ment than those sent out in the interest of
art' and certainly none of them excited
greater admiration. The program devoted
to this work was especially interesting to
Nebraska women, owing to their pride and
Interest in the art work of the state, but
general though this Interest has been there
are comparatively few who are aware that
the progress made by the club women of
Nebraska along these lines and the oppor
tunities afforded by them for the further
advancement of It compared most favorably
with any of the reports presented at Los
(Angelas.
Among the most valuable adjuncts to the
former circulating library of tne Nebraska
federation of Women's Clubs was the col
lection of art portfolios ' so generously
loaned by the Art department of the Omaha
Woman's club, which served as such a
Stimulus and help to the art classes of the
state. While the club women were proud
ft this collection and fully appreciated lis
help, but few realised its value a com
pared with similar collections generally In
use.
Portfolios Recently Revised.
When the Federation library was merged
into the State Traveling Library commis
sion a year ago this collection was not in
cluded. It being the property of the Art de
partment of the Omaha Woman's club, and
wtthtn the last week It has been entirely
revised by Mrs. W. W. Keysor, some of tho
portfolios combined and others rearranged,
until the collection now numbers seventeen
portfolios, including 00 photographs. Four
new portfolios have been added also, In
cluding three new subjects.
The collection was started in 189S, when
the department was organized, and has been
aaaea to each 2ar since. Realising the
frultlessness of stud vine art without illus
trations the department determined not only
to secure these helps, but to make their
collection the very best that could be had,
and as a result the portfolios are far an.
perlor to the average. Not only are photo-
grspna an made from the originals, but
they are most exhaustive of each subject.
For example. Aniens Cathedral la iin...
trated by fifteen photographs In which the
an ana structural principles of the build
ing are fully Illustrated, while the average
collection of photographs or slides, even
those generally considered most complete,
do not exceed two or three Illustrations,
these limited Illustrations being entirely In
adequate for effective student work.
The same principle of Completeness is
carried out In the photographs of sculp
ture and paintings. Cellini's famous
statue of Terseus being illustrated by six
photographs. In which the details of the
finely wrought pedestal are shown in addi
tion to the statue Itself.
As the plan of the department has been
progressive so far, it was decided to loan
the portfolios on subjects that bad been
finished to other clubs, that the benefits
of the collection might be extended, and
accordingly tbey were sent out over the
state to clubs desiring them.
How the Collations Are Loaned.
Their value soon became recognised, and
smaller clubs gladly availed themselves
of the privilege to such an extent that
all the portfolios have frequently been out
AN OLD
SORE
Will sour the sweetest disposition and
transform the most even tempered, lovable
nature into a cross-grained and irritable
individual.
If impatience or fault-finding are ever
excusable it is when the body 13 tortured
by an eating, burning and painful 6ore.
It is trulv discouratrincr to find after
months of diligent and faithful use of external remedies that the place remains
s defiant, angry and offensive as ever. Every chronic 6ore, no matter on what
part of the body it comes, is an evidence of some previous constitutional or
organic trouble, and that the dregs of these diseases remain in the system;
or, it may be that some long hidden poison perhaps Cancer has come to
the surface and begun its destructive work.
The blood must be purified before the sore will fill up with healthy flesh and
iuc emu 1 eg ui us us natural coior. 11 is inrouga tne
circulation that the acrid, corroding fluids are carried to
the sore or ulcer and keep it irritated and inflamed.
S. S. S. will purify and invigorate the stagnant
Wood when all sediment or other hurtful materials are
washed out, and fresh rich blood is carried to the diseased parts, new tissues
form, and the decaying flesh begins to have a healthy and natural look ; the
cuscnarge ceases and the sore heals.
S. S. S. is the only blood purifier
tnai is guaranteed entirely vegetable.
at one time, the only proviso being that the
borrowers must pay the express charges
both ways and return the photographs In
good condition, and that the club must
be a patron of the State Federation.
As a rule new clubs or those wishing
to take up the study of art have written
to Mrs. , Keysor, who has been in charge
of the collection, and asked for illustra
tions best suited for that work. These
have been sent, and it not Infrequently oc
curs that helpful literature or outlines
or programs accompany them.
Now that there is po federation library,
the collection is still held at the disposal
of the clubs of the State Federation. The
collection Is practically complete, though
it does not Include the illustrations of
American Art, the subject of the depart
ment's last year's study. These illustra
tions were not added owing to the heavy
expense of securing them.
Requests are often made for parts .of
the collection to be used for exhibition
purposes, and while It is always gladly
loaned, the department feels that its pic
tures are hardly suitable for such pur
poses, being of a slxe Intended for study
work.
In all the years that the portfolios have
been cent about, none of the pictures
have ever been 4 oat or suffered undue wear.
Sixteen of tbe portfolios are cabinet-sized
photographs, mounted upon a cardboard
10x12 inches, while one Is composed of
(photographs 12x16 Inches on well pro
portioned mounts. Each portfolio la kept
in a neat linen canvas envelope, which,
wbeu shipped, is wrapped in paper, and the
express rarely exceeds from 25 to 40 cents.
The collection, aa revised, includes two
portfolios of "Early Italian Masters;" one
of "Michael Angelo and Corregglo;" one
of "Raphael;" one each of Venetian, Span
ish, French, Dutch and German masters;
one of the ' Oothlo cathedrals of England
and France; one of the later Italian
masters; one of ancient architecture' and
sculpture; two of Gothic architecture and
two of modern sculpture.
It often occurs that a portfolio Is re
tained by a class during the entire club
year, but as long as there is no other
call for that collection, the department la
glad to have It In use.
The collection has been put In charge
of Miss Ethelwynne Kennedy, secretary
of the Art department of the Omaha
Woman's club, and she will attend to its
circulation in future.

Reflections of sv Bachelor Girl.
Most men look at a pretty girl as if she
had been Dorn expressly on their account.
Men are not nearly as wise as women
let them think they are.
A man can earn $10,000 a year, and yet
be has to marry some little woman with
$1 a week spending money Just to make
himself comfortable.
It all men were wis all women would
seem sensible.
Most men divide women into two classes
-their mothers and sisters and all other
women.
It is surprising how much most men don't
know about babies.
A man generally reforms on account of
stos woman, and then takes all th credit
to himself.
Women don't idealix men, for they sever
have s chance to.
The average man meets more than his
match in the average woman.
It a nu-n is a failure he Is sur it Is some
woman's fault. '
A woman never learns to catch a ball be

Men will never concede that a woman

POST OF POLICE SURGEON
Important Factor in Life at ths Omaha
Osntral Station.
PRACTICES FOR GLORY AND INFORMATION
Attends All Sorts of Cases for the
Wayward, Unfortunate or Will
ful and Takes What
He Can Get.
The police surgeon is s necessary and im
portant factor in the police department of
Omaha. His time belongs absolutely to the
people, with or without means, people of
all descriptions, the meek and the lowly
and the mighty drunk, all demand his time
and all are accommodated. Twenty-four
hours of tbe day be Is on duty, working
without pay or promise of reward. No city
warrant stuffs his pocketbook on the first
of the month and no bills of large denomi
nation stuff his pocket during the middle
of the month be he dependent on his
practice for the money. And yet there is
scarcely a physician in ths city who at
tends to as many patients as does he. No
physician makes a specialty ot as many
diseases; no physician goes to 'as many
stuffy, hot little rooms to see the sick.
He is required to sleep at the police sta
tion, which means that he gets very little
sleep, for there is scarcely a night passes
but what he is called upon to dress the
wound of some forlorn individual who, hav
ing drunk too much, winds up by falling
upon the pavement and injuring himself,
to say nothing of the number ot people
who brave the arm of the law and get cut
down with the club of the law, nor those
who run against a rasor or a shot.
Gives Hlas Education.
It Is said that a year as police surgeon,
however, would make a good physician and
surgeon out of most anyone, and many are
tbe applicants for the place when a va
cancy occurs. Tbe police surgeon is tbe
fortunate youth who is a senior at some
medical college. He takes th place for
what he can get out ot it and no more.
There is no salary attachment and very
little glory--fiothlng except the experience
and the knowledge of ' attending to those
whom no other physician would attend.
It is a position that requires a cool head
and a steady hand. The excitable physician
would be a failure there. On a recent oc
casion la the surgeon's room at one time
was a woman who had been badly beaten
and cut on the face and body until she
was in a serious condition; her husband,
with a bullet in his hand and foot; another
woman with a broken nose, and a Hula
colored boy who had shot himself In the
hand; all thess were demanding Immediate
attention; the womea sobbing and pleading,
the husband shouting and swearing. And
such occurrences as these are not Infre
quent. It happens frequently that the police
surgeon requires the assistance of a police
man to hold a patient while he Is being at
tended. At times he assists the police in
forcing a door to get to a patient. Some
months sgo a police surgeon was called to
attend a woman who had taken a dose of
morphine. He and the police arrived at
the place at the earn time the husband re
turned from his work. While the police
man had to fight the husband to keep from
being put out of the house, the surgeon
had to fight the woman to force ber to take
treatment.
Bpeetsvlty of Suicides.
Suicide eases seem to be the specialty of
ths polics surgeon, Oas whs was recently
police surgeon treated over fifty cases In
less than six months, and, though still In
college, he lost only one and the treatment
v as so effectual jthat none ot those he saved
from crossing over havs ever tried It since.
But because he does not receive pay for
his services does not in the least reconcile
th6pollce surgeon to working for his health.
Many are the tricks and devices he use to
force tbe wounded to share with him the
package in the possession of tbe desk ser
geant. Some of the patients pay readily,
If they possess the means, but others re
fuse, because he is the police surgeon and it
Is the general belief that he Is in the pay
ot the city. When one of the latter kind
has a head to dress or an eye to mend the
first step toward a permanent recovery Is to
find out how much money is in the man's
package provided he has been arrested.
The next step is to figure out how long the
man will live, whether hours or minute.
Then the discussion of the cost of the thread
that It will take to sew up the wounds.
Possibly it will take $2 according to tbe
sise of the patient's funds. Then the thread
must be bought at once or the patient can
not recover. If the fear of death does not
compel the patient to expend the $2 the
police surgeon invariably gets his revenge
by thelarge number of stitches be takes In
the wound and nine times out of ten this
is all the satisfaction he does get.
Sympathy tor franc.
In tbe recent disaster at Martinique the
United States was among the first to extend
sympathy to France and to aid the tew for
tunate survivors. It was this same generous
American idea of assisting sufferers from
stomach and liver complaints that led to
the Introduction of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters about fifty years ago. Today hun
dreds of persons owe their good health to
its uss. It positively cures cramps, nausea,
heartburn, indigestion, dyspepsia and ma
laria. Try it.

. August Chall ot Saronvllle, Neb., hss
been held to the federal grand Jury on
charges of having Intercepted letters ad
dressed to tbe Farmers' State bank of bis
town. The letters are said to have con
tained collections on Chall. The scheme
got August Into trouble eventually, because
he, it is alleged, extended his Interference
to include personal mall from the cashier
of the bank and his own chief, John W.
Israeison, who was postmaster.
Chall is a church deacon and a prominent
man In his town. When he received a
polite and carefully veiled invitation from
Postofftce Inspector D. J. Sinclair to corns
to Omaha and havs s talk on the matter,
August said that he would be glad to
come, but must attend a meeting of the
trusteees of the church on Thursday night,
so could not leave Saronvllle till Friday,
yesterday he walked into the office of
Mr. Sinclair by appointment at 1 o'clock
and was cordially received. Then he was
taken upstairs, where United States Com
missioner Anderson sat at a desk and
read to him a complaint, charging him with
various offenses against the laws regulat
ing the treatment ot mall matter. Chall
listened wide-eyed and was then requested
to give $1,000 bonds for his freedom till
the assembling of the next grand Jury.
This he did and went back to Saronvllle
marveling at the ways of Uncle Sam.
Israeison was Instrumental in discovering
the actions ot his deputy, who had held that
position for eight years. Tbe bank cashier
did not hanker for the active duties of post
master, so let Chall put tbe office In his
store and attend to it. Later Chall began
to tamper with Israeison' mall, It la al
leged. Besides stopping letters to Israel
son's bank containing collections on him
self, it Is said, Chall held out a letter
mailed by Ishaelson to the Columbia Firs
Insuranoe company of Omaha. Subse
quently th cashier wrote four more such
missives, but not one ever reached th fir .
Insurance company.
This aroused the suspicions of th post
master, but he was loth to move In ths
matter and it was Cball who brought about
hs own arrest by taking an Innocent vaca
tion a week ago. During bis absence Post
master Israeison visited the postofBce and
found there a lot of letters addressed to
blm, some opened, and many of old dates.
