lteaaon Why Thousands Like ' Me
Caunnt Satisfy Their Employers.
1 believe my fate Is not unlike that of
thousands of other workers who daily lost
their plac-a for reasons they do not know,
arid probably would not believe. When
their last pay envelopes comes along It la
usually, xvur aarvlces no longer required.
i rttie iruui were Known, the reason for
their unceremonloua removal would prob
ally be that their usefulness was des
iroyra orcnose oi some mental worry,
bodily ailment '. or general Indisposition!
Tlicse inings, as we an know, are the most
fruitful causes of failure In all walka of
Hie. The battle of Waterloo was lost he
(use of a headache. In this quick ago
olV minds must be clear, rapid, active, and
free from outside Influence or worry or
else we go down to failure with the throng
of "floatets" who go from one place of
employment tol another, giving no aatisfac
tlon to others or to themselves, constantly
growing older and less useful, with no am
lltlon, o will power, and no hope.
Every man requires from every other
man the best that la In Mm. But no man
ran use or get the best that Is In himself
until he Is first free from all fretful Indis
position and worries.
That was my trouble. I was fun 0f
troubles. That's why I lost my Job. My
sioma'h in the first place was always out
of order, and I was worrying about u and
my mind grew cloudy, and alow. 1 made
mistakes, and grew grouchy. That waa tke
end.
Thore are thouaands like me, going about
with "quick lunch" faces, dyspeptic man
ners, and repulsive atmospheres. No. em
ploer wants such men's services.
Take my advice. A healthy stomach la
half the battle, for it keeps your mind
clear, and your fact rosy. I have a healthy
aiomach now and hold a good position, and

BALDRIGE SUCCEEDS KENNEDY

Which Eatertalas Miss
Laura Prakr fill!,
At its annual meeting Thurkday noon the
Omaha Soo1J- Service club elected II. H.
Baldrldge president to succeed Judge
Howard Kennedy who declined another
term and re-elected Rev. George A. Beechcr.
dean of Trinity Cathedral, vice president;
Mra. E. B. Towle, second vice president;
F. F. Deniaon, secretary, and, Mra. Clara
E. Burbank, treasurer.
The meeting was held In the private din
ing room of the Young Men'a Christian
association following a luncheon given in
honor of Miss I-aura Drake Gill of New
York, dean of Barnard college and presi
dent of the National Association of Col
legiate Alumnae. There was no business
aside from the election. Eighty-five mem
bers of the Social Service club snd college
women were seated for the luncheon, which
was followed by a brief talk by the guest
of honor.
Mis GUI said she was only an old-fashioned
woman with a few modern Improve
ments, but that Klie had found a grievance
against that moot generoua and most
unique cltixen. the American fattier.
She condemned his vKcesxive generosity
Uist deters his daughter from all effort
w hich Is her only chance of reallxing deep
satisfaction.
"He indulges her in everything possible,
including higher education, but with this
attained and with it its resulting ambi
tion to do snything, he checks her. He
objects to her taking up a career that will
yield her results such as his son strives
for. money compensation."
Miss GUI objects to this as a double evil
from the slsndpolnt of the ambitious girl
and as an Injustice to wage-earning wo
men who are dtiendent upon their own
efforts, as It tends to lower the wage
scale. Of the woman over thirty-five years
Mlsa GUI expects much In the way of pub
lic service. These women, with the expeni
ence that results from the close home life
of the earlier years, are peculiarly fitted
for much outside work that many busy
men have not the time to do. the held that
men owe It to women to give I hem their
support and encouragement In these tilings
aad save them from lives of inst-tivity,
under which many of them are chafing.

VANDALS FALL ON CATHEDRAL
"unnmrtl to Mate Stolen Cornerstone
and Now Take Dell, hat It
Is Recovered.
W ith the cornerstone of St. Philomena's
cathedrsl still mlesing. the bell nf the old
lathedial at Ninth and Harney streets was
stolen Tuesday night and found Thursday
by detectives In a barn near Seventeenth
and Davenport streets.
Detectives Drummy snd Malony have ar
rested John Curtis and Albert Pilot of Six
teenth and Burt streets and they are
charged with stealing the bell.
As old brass or metal the bell Is prob
ably worth 1150. As the first real church
bell in Omaha It la prleelesa to the Catho
lic people. This was the bell which first
called the worshipers to St. Mary's church
and for almost forty years called them to
the masses of the cathedral.
The cornerstone mystery remains un
solved. Detectives are at a loss to know
whether the stone was taken from the
sacred walls of old St. Philomena's or
whether It is still at some lower depth in
its place.
Catholics who saw it put in place still
hold to the Idea that it has been stolen
and the contents are held with the hope
of some day receiving a reward for their
return.
At one time an attempt was made to se
cure the cornerstone while the building
waa being wrecked, and this attempt is
now believed to have been successful.

VACCINATION, SAYS CONNELL
Precaution Mast Br Taken A trains t
Smallpox. Asserts City Health
Commissioner.
'The menace to Omaha by smallpox Is
becoming serious," eald City Health Com
missioner Connell Thursday. "I urge
strongly that everybody in the city who
haa not been vaccinated within two yeara
should get vaccinated at once. If the dis
ease gains much more headway we. may
have to take more drastic measures.
'There are about sixty cases in the city
now, while in South tmuina there are
places that are really scourged with It.
Out in the state many towns are suffering
badly. Four cases came Into the city from
out in the state in one day last week."
Tile street railway company, on advice
from tho health commissioner, fumigated
all Its care In the Harney atreet barn
Wednesday night. The health commis
sioner advised that all the cars be fumiga
ted regularly every two or three days.
Smallpox thrives during cold weather and
the most serious time will be between now
and spring. Dr. Connell fears that It will
become epidemic unless there is s whole
tale vaccination and plenty of fumigation.
NO POETRY INS0UI NO PARK
Absence of Sentiment, Cernlah Says, la
Responsible for I.aek of Pretty
Green Hesorts.
The absence of poetry from the soul of
the average man la one reason why the
creation of a system of city parka la not
as easy as It might be," said Park Com
missioner Cornlah. "The Ideal Hf the land
aoapagardner is to make the scene as
near to nature as It Is possible to be. Very
well, and plans are prepared to mak a
park in which there xhall be onlv enough
buildings to provide shelter to the people
In case of rain.
"All is going along fine, when here comes
a materialistic being, a man whose Ideas
are moulded In massive stone and cold
gray mortar. This person points out the
excellent site for a massive stone building
In the midst of the greenery of nature.
He can't see why the park commissioners
have overlooked this excellent opportunity
for putting up a lasting monument.
"Well, the good man means well, but his
Ideas are crude, they are handed down
from his cave dweller anrestor, perhaps.
At any rate, they are shocking to a man
with any appreciation for the beauties of
nature, which cannot be Improved upon.
"Take Jtfferson square, that little breath
ing space on North Sixteenth street. You
wouldn't believe how many materialists
and utllitariana have had designs upon
that Innocent, unsophlst icated bit of nature
In the midst of the busiest part of the city.
Tl.ey would have taken It for a postofflce,
for a play ground, for a market house, for
anything that woulj have placed some
kind of a building on It. We have been
compelled to wage a strenuous and almost
continuoua fight against the violation of
this little woodland by the materialists.
"You can't Improve on nature. This is
an old epigram. I presume the mateaial
istlc ideal haa grown up with this age of
commercialism. A man who puta up a mas
sive structure of brick and mortar, ill,
eight, ten stories high, feels that he has
been a success. New York points to Its
forty-story buildings with pride. Tht peo
ple can hardly be blamed for getting the
idta that any spot of ground that does

FIRST RAILROADER ON BOARD
I A. L. Mohler Elected as Director 'of
i the Commercial Clab.
LUMBERMEN ARE LEFT OUT
Just One t.ets On After Tacit Agree
ment to 4ilTe Them Beprraenta
lion When They Propped
Kichanae Scheme.
For the first time In the history of the
Omaha Commercial clh a high railroad
official has been given a place on the
board of directors and seems likely to be
come a member of the executive commit
tee. This man is A L. Mohler. vice presi
dent and general manager of the Union Pa
cific Railroad company.
It has been an unwritten law with the
Commercial club that railroad men were
not eligible to membership on the com
mittees nor as officers of the club, but
Mr. Mohler's election Is evidence of the
broadening policy of the club and the co
operation which seems to be developing
between business men snd railroad offi
cials for a Greater Omaha. Mr. Mohler
has been showing unusual Interest In the
welfare of Omaha according to members
who piled up the votes for him.
A call to the sixty directors elected has
been Issued to meet at 12;30 o'clotk Friday
to seloct twenty-five members of an ex
ecutive committee, president, vice presi
dent, secretary and treasurer.
I. tat of Officers. v
The present officers are: t M. Wil
helm, president: W. L. Yetter. chairman
executive committee; F. N. Clarke, treas
urer; J. E. George, secretary. The ex
ecutive committee consists of the follow
ing: F. W. Judson. O. H. Kelly, R. E.
Sunderland, B. R. Hastings. A. Hospe, C.
E. Black, C. T. Kountre. J. A. Kuhn. E.
V. Lewis, E. E. Bruce. F. N. Clarke, John
Steele. D. B. Fuller. J. B. Rahm, H. H.
Baldrlge. A. C. Smith. M. C. Peters. A. P.
Karbach. C. D. Beaton. Z. T. Litidsey,
FMclid Martin, T. A. Fry. H. 8. Weller
and E. H. Allen.
Among the changes which are likely to
take place among the officers is in the
office of treasurer. F. N. Clarke, who holds
the position at present, was not elected a
member of the board of directors. L. M.
Talmage, assistant cashier of the United
States National bank, was elected a di
rector and represents a bank which has
seven of Its officers who are members of
the Commercial club. Mr. Talmage is
strongly urged for treasurer of the club.
A number of new members will probably
appear on the new executive committee.
But one lumberman of the five or six In
the list of 130 was elected to a place on the
board of directors. This Is Gould Dletz.
Lumbermen and carload shippers express
themselves as satisfied, but hope the chair
manship of the transportation committee
i rrti to a reprrsi'titatlva carload ship
per, whose committee will be composed of
lumber and coal dealers who have the
uouli.c with too ruilruads in the matter of
rates, delayed shipments and demurrage
charges. The committeeman do not need
to bo members of either the executive com
or the board of directors.
j The lumbermen recently rejected the plan
of organizing an exchange to care for their
Interests, but this plan was abandoned
when after conferences with Commercial
club authorities a tacit agreement was
made to give the lumberman liberal rep
resentation on the board of directors of the
club.
