.k-.3ar-Ben Is by no means dormant.
'I litre Is a steady current of activity under
main the quiet surface and the governors
have not failed to prepare for the coming
season during the winter while filling up
vacancies In the organisation caused by
the expiration of terms and by retirements.
The organisation will probably be com
pleted at the meeting next Tuesday.
O. W. Wattles has been slated for presi
dent, vice Thomas A. Fry. resigned. Mr.
Watties at least at the last meeting was
offered the presidency, but he declined, as
lie felt that as a new member of the board
lie should not serve. It may be that be
will reconsider his refusal. When the presi
dent is chosen he will have to name the'
Handing committees for the year, and this
will probably take about a week. Since the
last campaign Kmll Brandels, Archie Love,
J. C. Hoot and O. W. Wattles have been
taken Into the board of governors In the
order named.
Kamson'a First Ball.
The following letter Is the first war
whoop from the office of Strong-lunged
Samson:
The Ak-Snr-Ben has paused the tenth
milestone of Its successful history. That It
has achieved success is largely due to the
loyal co-operation of the business Interests
of the city. Omaha may well feel proud of
the organisation, for while other cities have
similar societies Samson stands unique In
the possession of the initiation features and
In the origination and carrying out of the
electrical float parades. The opinion of the
public seems favorable to a continuance of
the festivities, and to further this en". we
should ask what subscriptions will you
mke this year?
We must go forward. We must bring to
our city at least 100, ono visitors. To do this
snrt please them when they come we must
offer entertainments of the highest class.
This will pay us not only directly through
the profitable business our guests will bring
us. but Indlrectlv hy sending them home
with a friendly feeling for Omaha and her
bountiful hospitality.
The governors aro of the opinion that you
should be willing to subscribe very liber
ally for the festivities of 11X15, and postal
card for same Is enclosed herewith, and we
ask you to he as generous as your business
will warrant. Yours for success.
SAMSON.
Tea ! Beautiful Slant.
, The Initiations will be begun, It Is planned,
June 5, or two weeks earlier than last year.
As soon as the rltunl committee Is chosen
the final touches will be put on. The den
has been painted white Inside, or rather,
whitewashed. This was rather a strenuous
operation In Itself, for the governors are
busy men and could not find the time to go
up evenings e.id paint the ceiling and walls.
As there was no time they got a little pump
and a hose and squirted whitewash over
the building from the barrel. The result Is
immaculately beautiful. The scenic artists
have been busy and have got a considerable
part of the scenery and the well-known me
chanical effects In place. The adjuncts for
this year are to be more splendid than
ever before tf the governors may be be
lieved. . The ritual has not been quite
lined up yet, and the working committee
will not be named until early next month.
Something novel Is promised for the elec
trical parade this year. The, scheme has
been entirely devised and practically all
details decided. It Is said the parade this
year will have features which will appeal
to every class of people. Just what the
novelties are the governors refuse to say.
The boll is to be held In the. den again
this year. The Auditorium was found In
adequate last fall to the great attendance.
The knights will have their coronation In
their own house, which is believed to offer
the greatest facilities.

A Work of Art.
It affords us pleasure to refer our readers
and all who appreciate master workman
ship, of the artistic sort, to the magnificent
display of Easter wearing apparel now
open to the public In the Douglas street
window of the Berg-Swanson Co. Mr.
Simpson, the firm's advertising manager
and decorator, has given us a picture
window which for the proper combining
of simplicity and skillful arrangement Is
without a "peer," In Omaha. Mr. Simpson
has done much to elevate the art of proper
display of men's wearables In this city,
and great credit Is due him for his achieve
ments, as they have appeared from time
to time. The entire frontage of his firm,
on Douglas and on Fifteenth streets, blos
soms with the artistic touch of his finger.
The display to which we call particular
attention reflects the high character of
the clothing maintained by the Berg-Swanson
Co. In no uncertain tones, and
lovers of correct attire for themselves or
of the environments which present the
proper styles Rill do well to scrutinise Mr.
Simpson's luteal masterpiece.

The executive committee of the General
Federation of Women's clubs has issued
the following open letter:
Federation the most puissant, the most
Important and the most successful force In
the world of the past or of the present,
as It will be of the future. All great deeds
have been accomplished through It, all
mighty causes have been carried forward
by It, all happiness, love and Joy come
from It. Every nation Is a federation. The
family, the church, the school, the state
every organization of every kind, whother
the secret league, the business combina
tion, the reform society, the propaganda,
the patrlotio organization or the smallest
and most unknown club, la a federation.
Every person In the world is federated,
and sad indeed would be the lot of the
man or woman, whose life Interest was not
concerned with others.
If we pause and think of the meaning of
this great word to the world and to the
Individual, we can but experience surprise
that we still hear the question: "What Is
the benefit of federation?" Let us glance
for a moment at what the federation of
Women's clubs has wrought for the Indi
vidual woman In her various occupations
and walks of life.
First for the mother: It Is Impossible
to estimate the value of the child study In
the club to the young mother. She has
learned how to feed, clothe and train her
children more scientifically; how to study
and understand their varying dispositions;
how to take the large, common-sense view
rather than the sentimental; how to give
to the world well-poised, cheerful, useful
men and women. For the mother whose
children are at the education period, the
club and the Federation have given the
studv and research which have kept her In
touch with the students, so that the high
school boy and girl come to her for the
history and the literature, for the philoso
phy and the science which give them re
newed Interest and belief in the poten
tiality of the mother; their lives are built
more solidly on the principle that all good
comes from the home.
To the middle-aged mother whose chil
dren have left the home for the work of
life, whose hands are emp'v, who would
spend lonely hours and suffer heartaches,
the club and the Federation have brought
Interest In life, pleasure and enjoyment,
and. best of all. useful work and a health
ier body and mind. So much and more has
the Federation done for the mother.
For the housekeeper It has brought the
Intelligent study of her wok and pmb'oms,
It has shown her that the knowledge of hy
giene, sanitation, food value and the man
ifold Interests of the family are a s"lence
to be studied and loved, and not a drudg
ery to be avoided. It has shown her that

In the current Hurper's Weekly Miss
Kdlth Abbott replies to the not uncom
mon assertion that business women, speak
ing generally, are fnllures. One of the
reasons given for this assertion Is the fact
that the average earnings of the wom;in In
business are less than a dollar a day. To
prove that this statement is unwarranted
Miss Abbott cites statistics to prove that,
in a typical Industry, the women who re
ceived more than $8 a week constituted
86,951 out pf the 121,413 women employed, or
more than 70 per cent of the whole num
ber. Incidentally, she notes the surpris
ing fact that there are more than 5,0u0,rt00
women wage enrners in the United States,
of whom less than half are engaged in
domestic service.
