"Ths Story of a Oraln of Wheat," by
William C. Edgar, editor of the North
western Miller, Is a hook that merits read
ing by every one. The "busy man" will
find tlma to read it from cover to cover
and the "butterfly" will find It equally as
Interesting and more Instructive than the
latest socloty novel.
This volume Is a new departure In cereal
lore. Statistics, chemical and botanical re
search are omitted and the space devoted
to a consideration of the subject from a
food supply standpoint, and to an Instruc
tive and entertaining treatise of the sub
ject from the time "the first miller plucked
the berry from the stalk, and using his
teeth for millstones, ground grist for A
customer who would not be denied his
stomach." Then on, when wheat raising
consisted In the planting of a small crop
and Its ingathering by the most primitive
methods; coming to a time when tha peas
ant and his family were compelled to see
an armed host trample their crop, perhaps
as It was nearlng maturity, into the earth.
Then on, through a period when both na
ture and man, by drouths, by blight and
by taxes, conspired against the wheat and
wheat raisers. Then the brighter time.
when the people were protected by law and
the miller, of whom he of the Dee has
aver been a shining model, "while the ber
ries crackle and the mill turns round,"
cleaned and ground the wheat Into whole
some flour. Then the more recent times,
when wa have all the modern machinery
and appliances.
We learn in this book of the ravages of
insect pests and fungus disease?, and how
science has successfully Interposed. Wa
have, too, the sad story of La Croix, who
built for us the first purifier known in
America; the cruel Injustice he suffered at
the hands of unprincipled men and the In
gratitude of the National Millers' associa
tion toward him. The struggle between
landlord and tenant over the quern and its
final passing is the theme of an interesting
chapter.
There are forty illustrations of every con
ceivable thing belonging to wheat and the
making of flour from it. Including that In
use hundreds of years ago as well as at
the present time. . One is given a peep at
wheat in all quarters and corners' of the
globe, and Introduced to machinery, mills
and milling magnates galore. D. Appleton

"People of the Whirlpool," by the author
of "The Garden of a Commuter's Wife."
This charming book gives interesting
glimpses into the life of "swell" New
Yorkers. At a reason for Its title the
author says: "Everything, my dear Bar
bara, has a precedent in history or the
basis of it. It is well known that the
Indian tribes have taken their distinctive
names chiefly from geographical features,
and these often in turn control the pace of
the people. The name for an Island since
called New Amsterdam and York was
Mon-ah-tait-uk, a phrase descriptive of
the rushing waters of Hell Gate that sep
arated them from their Long Island neigh
bors, the inhabitants themselves being
.called by these neighbors-' Mon-ah-tana.
angllre, Manhattans, literally, People of
the Whirlpool, a title which, even though
tha termagant humor of the watera be
abated, it beseems me as aptly fits them
at this day." A party of these aristo
crats settled on the borders of a rural
settlement, and very soon the simple liv
ing of the country folk was disorganised.
A visitor found the Deacon's wife pouring
over an ornamental volume entitled "Hints
to Those About to Enter Society." Bhe
was greatly agitated over the sentence:
'"No gentleman will ever come to the table
without a collar, or be seen on porch or
street In his shirtsleeves." The tactful
visitor carefully compromised the situa
tion, and "Mrs. Deacon," with a sigh of
relief, said: "I'm reel glad you don't hold
it necessary, fer pa, he'd take it so hard,
eatln' gettin' him all het up anyhow." The
laughable predicament of a chauffeur,
whose automobile IS said to have "consti
tutional eccentricities," is also described.
, The ''thing" becoming unmanageable,

V lng old farmer, seeing the steam, supposed

with whale oil, soap and water, for the
purpose of giving the roses a bath, and
emptied it on tha poor unfortunate, who
"finally sat up, but did not offer to do

'Would you be so good as to ask your

and Lucius Hitchcock, Is one of the new
hooks published by Harper's. There are
three stories "His Apparition," "The
Angel of the Lord" and "Though One
Rose from the Dead." The stories are
from the ever attractive regions of psyph
Ical phenomena, interesting and full of
mystery ghost stories, they might be

not ghastly, and to a student of psychic
phenomena are delightful.

the different methods adopted In nursing
treatment. W. B. Saunders & Co., Phila

his own descent, wero the nine days won
der. It so attracted a chimney sweep that

World's Greatest Short Stories" and au
thor of "The Art of Writing and Speaking

The 1903 graduates of the Omaha High
school had their commencement dance last
night at the Millard without the aid or
consent of Principal Waterhouse, but they
danced as the guests of the Alumni asso
ciation as a postscript to the alumni ban
quet. Mr. Waterhouse was Invited to be
present, but failed to attend, the Informa
tion being vouchsafed that he had gone
to Missouri to address a teachers' Insti
tute, But the young people would doubt
less have danced Just the same had Mr.
Waterhouse been on the spot with his
official ukase.
The banquet was the first affair of the
kind given by the Alumni association, its
previous efforts having been confined to
receptions and hops, and It was voted one
of the most enjoyable gatherings It has
held. About 100 members sat at the tables,
enlivening the greeting accorded the class
of 1903 with songs, of which the above is a
sample, jests, class yells and various bois
terous exhibitions of Joy. Arrangements
for the banquet were in charge of a com
mittee composed of Allan Hamilton, chair
man; Edith Dumont, Bertha JPhllllppi,
Beulah Evans, Pauline Adair, Arthur
Smith, Warren HIIlls, Harry Kelly, Leslie
Hlgglns and Nathan Bernstein.
The banquet room of the hotel was taste
fully arranged for the occasion, the tables
being decorated with palms and cut flow
ers. An orchestra supplied music during
the evening. The hour set for serving the
banquet was 8 o'clock, but it was an hour
later before the last of the guests arrived
and the first course was served. As a re
sult It was after 10 o'clock before the toast
master, Howard Kennedy, Jr., of the class
of 1885, called the gathering to order. The
first sample of order was the school yell.
Mr. Kennedy then introduced Arthur Jor
gensen of the class of 1901, the president
of the association, who delivered his an
nual address, greeting the members of the
class of 1903 as graduates of tha Omaha
High school.
The response was delivered ' by Hugh
Wallace of the class of 1903.' This was- '
metrical history of the class from its en
trance into the high school to its gradua
tion. tarts the Toasts.
The printed order of toasts was departed
from and Miss Lehman sang "A Toast,"
a contralto solo, eliciting applause, which
was responded to by the song, "Dear Heart,
I Love You."
The toastmaster then Introduced Dr.
Victor Rosewater of the class of 1887, who
responded to the toast "Days of Auld Lang
Byne." The speaker said that after being
assigned the subject he for the first time
realized that he had been an alumnus of
the school for as many years as he had
been on earth before the days of his gradu
ation. He reviewed the history of the
school briefly recalling that the first class
was graduated in 1878, the second in 1878,
while each year thereafter produced a
crop; that in 1S83 there were five teach
ers, while in 1887 there were twenty; In
the former year there were fewer pupils
In the entire high school than In tha grad
uating class of the last three years. The
high school cadets were organized in 1881
to march in a final campaign rally for
Blaine and Logan. In the fall of J836 the
military company was reorganized; an ath
letic association was organized, playing
base ball, foot ball, cricket and tennis, A
gymnasium association was organized,
which used a gymnasium equipped by pop
ular subscription. The alumni association
was launched on Its present basis in the
fall of 1888 or 1889. The speaker read items
from the High School Register of the years
1886, 1887 and 1888, showing what was being
done In those years, mainly from a humor
ous standpoint, including several poems of
the days of "auld lang syne."
Advantage of Being- Oat.
Charles Prltchard of the class of 1900
responded to the toast, "Resolved, That it
Is Better to be Out of the High School
than In." The affirmative of this proposi
tion Is true because the fact that one is
out shows progress and progress is the
law of life; it is an evidence of achieve
ment, and in this practical sge It is the
man of action who challenges admiration.
It Is better to be out because of Increased
opportunity and greater responsibilities
both of which are necessary for the forma
tion of character. Being out gives op
portunity for the exercise of Independence,
which is always in the heart of the under
graduate. "On the Threshold" was the subject to
which Miss Minnie Hlller of the class of
1902 responded. The response was full nf
humor and wit, carrying In Imagination
the entire class to the threshold of Im
mortal fame.
Will Manchester sang a solo and re
sponded to an encore, after which Thomas
Crelgh of the class of 1890 responded to the
toast "The Alumnus In Athletics." He paid
tribute to the pioneers of Omaha for their
Interest In the public schools of the city.
He recalled the names of a number of the
high school graduates who have made high
records In college and university athletics
since leaving the high school. The athlete
Is loved because of bis sacrifice, his patient
work and devotion to tha end he seeks.
All life is a game and the same rules apply
there as upon the athletic field.
Rex Moorehouse of the class of 188 and
Josephine Blart of the class of 1898, who
were on the program, were absent.
The toastmaster, at the conclusion of the
program, appointed a committee on nomi
nations, which after a short conference
reported the names of the following officers
for the coming year, who by the adoption
of tha report were unanimously elected:
President, Harry A. Tukey; vice president,
Edith Dumont; secretary, Roy Sunderland;
treasurer, Harry Reed; executive commit
tee, Fannie Pratt and May Bedwell.

With Very Little Alteration tho
Property Can Be Made Suitable
for the Purpose It Is to
Be I'sed For.
The board of directors of the Nebraska
Masonic home Monday night concluded the
purchase of a building for the association.
The deal was closed at the conclusion of a
meeting of the stockholders of the corpora
tion, which lasted all afternoon and at
which the plans of the society were consid
ered. The home Is located at Plattsmouth, Neb.,
and for many years has been the resldenoe
of Francis E. White, secretary of the
grand lodge of the Masons of Nebraska. It
Is a brick house, built in 1878 by Jacob Val
lery. It Is located In the northwestern part
of the town and Is one of the most con
venient residences in the city. The house
contains nineteen rooms, exclusive of
closets and bath rooms. It has three stories
and a mansard and Is modern In every re
spect, city water, gas and electric lights
having been Installed as they were Intro
duced In the city.
The cost of the building and grounds, as
at present maintained, Is about 115.000, but
the home association secured it, through
the generosity of the owner, for about one
third of that amount.
The society will immediately take steps
to place the building In shape for occu
pancy by those persons for whom It Is de
signed. Little work will have to be done,
as ths original arrangement Is such that
It can be used almost Immediately.
It is the Intention of the organisation to
use the home for a;ed Masons and widows
and children of deceased members of the
order who may desire to avail themselves
of its advantages. There are at the present
time between twelve and twenty persons
who are eligible to residence at the Institu
tion, and the home will accommodate all
who may possibly desire to reside there
for two or thre e years.

an order of the United States circuit court
relative to ths proper disposition of cer

The financial troubles of Beatrice date
from the boom period, when the city went
into paving and sewerage on an extensive
scale without giving consideration to the
future. When the panic came the city
found itself loaded down with a tre
mendous debt and a lot of clamorous bond
; holders demanding a settlement of their
claims. Some compromises were made with
less persistent bondholders and a series of
refunding bonds enabled the city to stave
! off the day of settlement for a while. But

JEWELRYMAN IS VICTIMIZED

John Rudd, who conducts a Jewelry store
at 115 South Sixteenth street, was ths vic
tim of misplaced confidence yesterday aft
ernoon, according to the story he tells the
police. A young man giving the name of
John Powers called at Mr. Budd's place of
business about 5:30 and Informed the pro

as brakeman with the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha railroad, that the
company would not allow him to go out on
his run without a watch and as he had no
money wherewith to purchase hS desired
to get one on time. His story was so
