PRAISES OMAHA HORSE SHOW Editor Ashbrooke of Bit and Spur lias Many Flattering: Thlnars In Christmas Issue. In Its magnificent Chrfstmas Issue, Bit and Spur, the leading horse show Journal of the country, makes very complimentary notice of the Omaha Horse Show, ranking Its local entries far ahead of any except St. Louis, which was all local, as all of the big stables were Irt Omaha- that week. Ashbrouke, proprietor of Bit and Spur and also secretary of the Kansas City Horse Show association, was at the Omaha horse show the fore part of the week and rites from what ho personally notices. He says: In proportion to its size Omaha has far and away the best local exhibit of horses and carriages on western tanbark this season, averaging above Chicago or Kansas City, although St. Louis must be exempt from this category, as its big money winner was almost entirely local In flavor. K. P. Peck. Ward Burgess. C. T. Kountie, A. D. Brandeis. A. C. Hmlth and W. . McCord sent Into the ring good, flash-stepping horseflesh and satisfying appointments in every particular, although Mr. McCord df se.rves to be treated In a class by himself for the bold way in which he challenged and won almost everything he was1 eligible for in the open Held. There was a com mendable display of riding and driving by the smart feminine element, which lent s charm to the ring, and is rarely to bo seen In a young show, especially a western one. In fact, the skill and self-possession of women exhibitors was noteworthy. The courageous way in which they obeyed orders to back and. cut figures around obstacles. was xi source of admiration even among the Judges. Among aspirants for honors the drlvlne of Mrs. Kountie. Mrs. Ward Burgess and Mrs. Joseph Baker and Mr. McCord's sister. Mrs. J. H. Parker of St. Joseph, was particularly clever, among whom showed in the park pair classes in which driving by a lady was not abso lutely essential. Mrs. Barker won the ap pointed park pair blue ribbon for -. her father. K. P. Peck, and also the same color for beat woman driver. Mrs. Burgess had a rather strong-minded horse in the shafts, which rjut her second. In similar one Thursday night, Mrs. Barker also proved the premier with tne reins, in 'a charming field of five, In wljich Miss Ruth Brandeis carried a popular red ribbon be hind her father'a good stepping- Mao, and Mrs. Kountie put Mr. Burgess?. Prince to third. In the event for best local pair, ladles to drive, Mrs. Kountie was sent to the top of the field with Mr. Peck's smoothly man nered pair, Miss Brandeis gleaning anotner red, and Mrs. Kdward Smith of St. Joseph the yellow with A. C. Smith's Duke and Duchess. One of the nrettiest events of tne weeK was the Kilpatrtck purse for the best lady rider, cross saddle to be used. A delight ful field of six of Omaha's smart younger set put out In the ring In the most modish of tri-corne hats, and well tailored, black, divided habits. Miss Esther Byrne made an attractive figure on a handsome wain,, trot and canter horse, her light Seat and sure hands being commented on. Miss Helen Cudahy posted beautifully, rode with great sureness and easiness and looked like one of Chandler Christie's favorite models. Miss Bessie Baum, probably tne youngest demoiselle in the ring, gave a very taking exposition of young womanhood In the saddle, and the trio provoked spontaneous applause in the demonstration of short wheeling and reversing around the ob stacles placed to test their skill in handling their mounts. The ribbons went as named. In a class of fifteen for best girl or boy rider at the Friday matinee, little Mantle McCord carried the house by storm aatrldo a heavyweight, well knit piebald called W no a a 'jnougnt it. as ugnuy as . nine snow-flake In the saddle she put the big pony through his paces, in which it was evident he felt his oats and was full of spirit. "She Is one of the most fearless and finished little horse woman I ever saw .in all my experience," said one of the Judges. utile Margie is noi iv years oia, ana rides an hour each day n'ter school. "Doesn't your pony pull a little hit too heavily for you,' she was asked. "Oh, fio," she answered composedly. "He's Just feel ing good. He hadn't been out of '.he stablu for a week."

For the best collection of three heavy harness horses, Mr. McCord, Mr. Peck and Mr. Burgess were ranked as placed. Tne representation from these stables were par ticularly high class and were the largest local winners of the week. A. D. Brandeis was quite successful In the t-year-old trotting stallion class stop ping the vent with his bay horse Pat Mc Avoy, also winner of second and third. John Donovan had the winning 8-year-old In a blh-headed colt Plagarlst from his King Hill Stock farm. In the appointed local roadster class, T. C. Byrne's Alice Wilkes and F. A.

He is a philosopher, living upon the humblest fare, wearing the most unpretentious clothes, sleeping in a woodshed and trying to unburden Fdmself of his millions In such a way that his Kolden dollars will alleviate the suffering in tins world. A little over a year ago he gave his palatial home, worth SJO.Oiio. to the Rlstera of Charity at Waverly. but required that It be dedicated as a nonsectarlan hospital. He reurca imm nis luxurious apartments to the woodshed on the rear of the lot, where he resides to this day. Tho associations of the property are too dear for him to leavo it entirely, so he has asked that he mav spend his retiring years in keeping up the property for the sisters. To him money ap peals little. lie says that for his happi ness all he wants Is a crust of bread, a place to lay his head and clothes to keep him enmfortablo. He claims the happiest moments oi nis me win oe wnen no is anie to unburden himself of all his wealth and start again on an equal footing with his fellow beings In the struggle for sustenance, HelpiuE old people is the hobby of Abra ham Slimmer.

OMAHA HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The program given by the Latin society on Friday afternoon furnished valuable In formation to thosu present. Ethel Voslnirg appeared tlrVt on tne program by telling about "Tho Police und Klre Department' of Ancient Rome. "A Roman Triumph depicted in a most gorgeous and imposing manner was then read by Florence Tehr. John Thomsen spoke Instructively on the "Roman Roads," which to this day arc in evidence In many quarters of the old world. Agnes Gorst gave "Cloaca Max ima" very creditably. "Treatment of Roman Slaves" was tho subject of an in teresting essay by Irene Larinon. The va rious conditions of slavery were vividly set forth. Emily Dyer treated very faith fully her subject, "Campus Martius," and gave to It Its true historical setting. J. Bertrand. in closing, gave "A Lay of Ancient Rome." Grace McBrlde, tha vice president of the Boclety, presided in tho absence of the president, Bert MoCullough. David Aberg was appointed secretary pro tempore in Ruth Byer's absence.

During the Thanksgiving vacation the Margaret Fuller society was pleasantly en tertained at a progressive party. The home of Anna McCugue was the first recipient - , of the Joyful throng or girls, i ne mo- ments spent there wero blissful and the party departed for the home of Rosina Mandelberg. After devoting considerable time in amusements of various kinds a little dancing party closed the day fittingly. Refreshments were served.
