The pastime has undergone some radical

The Country dub Is proud of Its golf
course, which is said to be second to none
and tha club house la one of the largest
In the western country, and to maintain
thia large plant costs a lot of money. Tho
membership of the Country club li only
about vnohalf that of the KleJd club, so
of course the cost of maintenance fulls
heavier on the members. The annual dues
at the Country club have been tto a year,
(and the directors will ask at the annual
meeting to bo held at the Omaha cio
Tuesday night that these dues be rained.
While the golf course Is practically estab
lished and the cost for this is not nearly
as great as the cost of the golf caursc
at the Field club, whioli has been con
stanily changed and which last year wns
nearly entirely rebuilt because of the
change from tho west forty to tlie present
wooded course, still tlie members Insist
that the club houie lie kept up in most
perfect condition, and to do thia the direc
tors say they will have to raise the dues.

Hinds off the bunch of champions from
every country on tha night of December I.
Eddie Root can truthfully be called the
six-day champion of the world, as for the
past two years lie has demonstrated his
superiority at this style of racing by win
ning In liM4, with Otto Dorlon, gnd turning
the same trick last year with Joe Fogler.
He and Fogler have been training for the
contest for some weeks even before their
entry waa accepted as they received a
quiet tip to the effect that this season's
crop of riders will be about as dangerous
a bunch as ever started In the long week
grind. The Root-Fogier team will be able
to start on the Journey with plenty of
confidence, as they are very popular and
will have no end of "rooters" to cheer
them up. Knot has already stated, and
makes no secret of the tact, that be la
going to try to Jump hia field the very first
day of the race and gain a lap. He
claims that he and Fogler will be strong
enough to hold it if they can once get away
from the other riders.

"The Beer You Like"
is Lrewed on the same principl an American beer for Americans. Stript of
the heavy body of the grain it retains all the nourishment of the malted barley
in lighter form. Seasoned India rice also helps to reduce the weight The
bops are Bohemia's rarest and the yeast of our own special culture. Every
improved condition, method and device known to modern brewing and hygienic
science, is prest into service in making Luxus the finest beer brewed, and
the purest. Uniformity thruout our electrically gaged automatic weighing
devices insures it.
Luxus ii new, different, unique nothing like it in the catalog of beers.
Very nourishing, refreshing, satisfying, and yet, the lightest beer brewed. ,
Drink all vou like of Luxus no fulness, no dulness, no cKstrest or deprest feel
ing no after effect but the fragrant memory of its piquant taste the snap and
spark! of life the sheer joy of living.
Harken and be imprest after you have sipt one glass from your first cold,
sparkling bottle of Luxus, you will pronounce it "The most exquisite refinement .
of the brewer's art," and at once order a case sent home for the family to enjoy
with you.

Nearly every text book of American his
tory ia under Indebtedness to the American
collections at Boston. In the picture gal
leries the Ativenaeum portraits of George
Washington and Martha 'Washingtoa, hy
Gilbert Stuart, were painted directly from
the distinguished Bitters, and are hence
the standard likenesses of our first presi
dent and hie wife, since the other Stuart
"Waabingtons" are replicas painted from
these portraits. The portrait of Samuel
Adams is that by which tills famous leud'T
of the revolutionary democracy is best
known, while the portrait of John Han
cock Is equally familiar.
Ruskln'a brilliant championship has given
l-he Slave Bhip," by J. M. AV. Turner, a
permanent place in English literature, and
there are many other canvases that have
historical and literary Interest apart from
their value as works of art. Ainoiig other
very famoua treasures of the museum is a
"Madonna and Child" from the workshop
of the Delia Robbla in glazed terra cotta
a popular and exquisite work which was
brought to Boston from Italy about thirty
years ago by Charles C. Perkins, one of
the most distinguished art critics of the
nineteenth century.
In the museum' first gallery are two
canvases by Velaaquea, the greatest of
Spanish and by many eateemed the greatest
of all the world'a painters. One of these
Is an early portrait of Philip IV, produced
by the artist soon after he arrived at Mud
rid In lt23. A work of his more mature
year Is "Don Belthaaer Carlos and Ills
Dwarf," painted In SSI. depicting the n.oii
arch'a little aon, attended by the dwarf,
who, according to the custom of the time,
was regularly provided for royalties.
That Americans of all classes are learn
ing to appreciate object! of art is shown
by the fact that 1IA0.0 people annually pass
the turnstiles of the Boston museum. On
the days when no admission fee is charged
groups gather before the building eagerly
awaiting tha opportunity to enter. Once
the doors have swung open the crowd for
several hours flows through the galleries,
quiet, orderly. Intensely interested. Along
with the native-born Americans there Is
sure to be a. sprinkling of people from
other countries. Italians especially are
frequent visitors, aud a group of them may
often be seen listening to one of their
countrymen as he explains the works ot
art to bis less ell-ln(oruied compatriots.

early American silver gathered from vari
