He Is the president of the Amalgamated Association of Meat Cutters ana Butcher Workmen of North America and as such Is the general com manding the forces now on strike la the irreat packing centers of the country. Ur. Donnelly la a young man, but has a thorough acquaintance with the practi cal working of the Industry, having been employed In all the various department that com under the scope of his union. When he worked In South Omaha he was looked upon as one of the most skillful and rapid workmen In the country, end performed some wonderful feats with his knife In prize contests. He has developed great executive ability and has led his men through a gallant fight with less of disorder and clashing with the law than ever marked a similar struggle. He visited Omaha laM Sunday to look over the situ atlon and counsel with the leaders here. .While at South Omaha he delivered two addresses to the strikers, and during the progress of one was photographed by Hoe staff artist Tlarry B. Long of Council Bluffs Is some what handicapped In his battle through life by being deprived of the sense of hearing and the faculty of speech, but he has a spirit that soars above these hin drances and by his natural capacity as a hustler has pushed himself well to the front. During the last few weeks when The Bee was offering a number of trips to the World's fair st St. Louis to be voted for, young Mr. Long made up his mind that he would have one of them. He started his huxtle, and so well did he suc ceed that he flnlnhed second In the con tent. It Is some food for wonderment to think what he might have done had he been gifted as other young men are with keen hearing and a glib and persuasive tongue. But he has won his trip, and will make his visit to the St. Louis exposition on a ticket furnished by The Bee. William A. Faulkner, late of Lincoln, Neb,, had the distinction of being the only nan to win a bet from William J. Bryan, the outcome of the wager depending on Mr. Bryan's election to the presidency. Dr. A. O. Faulkner, the head physician for the Modern Woodmen of America, la a close neighbor of Mr. Bryan, and be tween the families a friendly Intimacy ex ists. William Faulkner, father of the doctor, lived with his son, and one day when Mr. Bryan was at the Faulkner house the talk turned on the approaching elec tion. Mr. Faulkner twitted Mr. Bryan with his approaching defeat. - and finally offered to wager him that he would be beaten at the polls. Both men were en thusiastic admirers of chickens, and the Faulkner Games and the Bryan Shanghais had a local reputation. As the outcome of the talk Mr. Bryan agreed to risk a rooster, and so the bet was concluded. Some time after election a fine Shanghai chanticleer was delivered to the Faulkner home, where he still thrives, rejoicing In the name of Blllum J. Mr. Faulkner has since died. His photograph and this In cident is furnished The Bee by his daugh ter. Mrs. J. A. Campbell of 2528 Corby treet, Omaha, who says her father never tired of telling the story on Bryan. Mr. Bryan has slnoe related It on himself. Joe Meyer, the sonof M. Meyer, Is one f Omaha's promising young musicians. At the recent picnic of the Landwehr Verelns In Omaha he was on the program for a solo, and acquitted himself with grace and credit Albln Huster, the well known vIollnlHt and conductor, Is on record as saying that the young man has talent that will yet make him famous. Co-Operative Home The T B club, an organisation of some of Philadelphia's successful women who work, which has recently bought and fur nished a handsome, commodious mansion In the most select part of the city, owns also a fine old country place within an easy trolley ride bom the business part of the city. To this summer home, known as Chanplost, the girls emigrate as soon as warm weather comes. It Is In a beau tiful parklike stretch of country-J Is one of the many old-fashioned mansions which have survived the elements and the out ward reach of the Quaker City's growing suburbs. Here, as In their city home, these girls have a housekeeper, a cook, a laundress and a chambermaid. Each girl has a latch key and her expenses vary with the else of her room. Both houses are run on the home plan, and the girls come and go as they please, entertain their friends, have the privilege of running down to the laun dry and doing up a fine waist or expensive handkerchief Just as they would In their own homes. All who take lunch to their places of business have It put up for them t the club. This organisation started originally with tea women, ail wage earners, who had r . - - t i - y i i f -'j ... ! - -- 1 fRESTBKNT M.

Thanks to the intrepidity and business tact of the revolters, a plan was soon perfected whereby they were able to rent and furnish a little place of their own, to which they succeeded In Imparting a real home atmosphere. Their pleasure was so genuine that soon other weary hearted working women begged admittance and a larger house was taken. Finally so many women asked to be ad mitted that the present mansion was pur chased and another rented as an overflow home. To gain admittance to the club now a girl -must be recommended by one of Its members. She Is then allowed to Join the) community on a month's probation. At the end of that time. If everything is satisfac tory, the probationer becomes a full-fledged T B. Good Housekeeping. Millions of Horseshoes "Two million kegs, containing 160,000,000 horseshoes, are used annually In the United States and Canada, approximately speak ing,"., said 8. I Martin of Boston, who represents an iron manufacturing concern Of the east. .. ,..... . "That was about the number used last year, and all tho hue and cry about rubber shoes and automobiles Is raised In the face of a constantly Increasing sale of horse shoes. As a matter of fact, the use of rubber horseshoes, which Is confined al most altogether to the large cities, Is a help to manufacturers. The sale of the old fashioned . shoes goes on increasing, and . In addition tf tha,t the manufacturers have an opportunity to make the steel por tion of rubber shoes. All so-called rubber shoes have a rim of steel In them, and It Is usually of better metal and gives the manufacturer a wider berth for praflts than the old-fashioned shoe. "Louisville Courier-Journal. Hard on the Lawyers Jacob H. Bchtff, who was instrumental In bringing a part of the Japanese war loan to America, was talking to a reporter about his recent European tour. ' "London's courts of law have always In terested me," he said, "and I revisited them last month for about the tenth time. One Q. C. whom I happened to meet there told me how Peter the Great had once gone through the law courts. He said Peter, at the end of his Inspection, said: " These men are all lawyers? What can be the use of so many? I have only two in my empire, and I mean to bang one ot them as soon as I return.' " Powwow of Indians ' (Continued from Page Eight.) had to go to the other side of the village for his wife. The division was carried Into tho council, and, In fact through all the life of the Indians. The traditions of the tribe are being preserved by the older men and women, but It seems certain that the progress the tribe has made In ways of civilisation will soon wipe out even the slight trace of barbarism that now find Its expression In the annual powwow. " America's Columns (Continued from Page Four.) will ultimately help support the Immense dome, that there seems to be nothing re markable about them as to cost or slse. The keystone of the arch stands 108 feet above ground and the pillars supporting the arch are fifty-four feet apart, waluh la the length of a column, while Its largest end, which la six feet across, Is not so large ( " - - i i ' I - . - . - r " ' " -i " ' . ., V- .
