For the first time since bridge wa Intro
duced In Omaha social circles several sea
ton ogo. the devotees of the game admit
that they are tired of It and are looking
laewher for amusement. The puixl3
eras doe not scorn to take the place
f bridge. In the first place anyone from
lh children to the grandparent can
while away the time with pussies, but
with bridge It takes a season to laarn.
and only a few become expert. Prob
ably the principal reason for the decline
ef bridge Is that there are so many club
meeting each week, that after one has
accepted the invitation to two or three
parties, besides the club meetings it
loses Its novelty.
liovers of the great outdoor games of
golf and tennis and members of the vari
ous outdoor clubs are longing for the
chirp of the birds and the appearance of
the green mat on the fields, those assur
ance that It is time to get out the golf
clubs and prepare for another summer of
pleasure. The ever popular dance at the
Field club twice each week may be twice
as popular as ever and still not crowd
the participants because the dance floor
has been doubled In als. The dining room
spaoa has been nearly doubled and other
Improvements have been made. The win
ter season of bridge and theaters and
dances is all right In a way but It does not
take the place of God's great out-of-doors
for those who have learned to enjoy them
selves In the fresh air.
Many of the fashionables of Omaha will
go to Chicago this week to view the big

Against the time when bridge and Bun
day night suppers, lucheons, teas and all
the other things that go to make up a
season, are prohibited, the debutante are
planning a diversion that has th merit ot
novelty as well as real service a sewing
club. Not that there Is anything especially
novel about a' sewing club but the de
butantes have not been accustomed to
spend their sfternoons with this occupation
and o several rf the young matrona and
others who are proficient, have volunteered
to serve ss director and Instructors. The
several charitable institutions of th city
will profit by their Industry. For several
years the older women have met regu
larly to aew for the Visiting Nurse asso
ciation, the Creche, Child Suvlng institute
and Clarkson hospital and It is hoped that
the I-enten sewing circles may be mad
permanent clubs.

WORKED HIS WITS FOR WAGES
A TraTellnar Man Who Traveled ia
HI Mind and Wa Paid
for It.
i i
Joseph C. Ch&peck. a Chicago bird
of rare plumage, ha been Jailed In that
city on tho charge of using the mail to
defraud.
Chief Poatofflc Inspector Jjmes E. Stu
art, who had the case In personal charge,
explained th charge.
"We have evidence," said he, "that Cha
peck, under various aliases has been de
frauding business house in Chicago and
other cities. '
"ills method was to answer all adver
tisements asking for bond salesmen or
other high class traveling salesmen, giving
letters written by himself as recommenda
tion. "After he goh a job he played It along
for expense money and salary for a few
weeks or months, but he did not work at
the Job. He would write reports to the
firm for which he wa employed, always
remaining In Chicago, but having the re.
ports forwarded from the part of th coun
try h was supposed to be working In.
We have complaints from thre firms now
and expect to receive many more."
The chief complainant against Chapeck
Is the Werner company of Akron, O., a
book concern. Chapeck, under th name of
George A. Slsnton, secured a job with this
house several weeks ago and the firm be
came suspicious of him upon discovering,
It Is said, thst all his reports wer pot
marked Chicago.
Chapeck, according to General Stuart,
admitted writing many of the false re
port and that he had not done the work
for which he was paid. He begged to be
relessed, saying that hla mother was 111
and that his wife knew nothing of the
trouble.
The Farm Land Cjpal company of Rock
ford, 111., wa another complainant.
Chapeck. It I said, had been with one
firm of Chicago bankers, supposedly sell
ing bonds in Pennsylvania, for three
months, drawing salary and expense money,
before It wee discovered that he never had
left Chicago. Chicago Tribune.
RELIGIOUS NOTES.
It Is expected that the statue of Phillips
Brooks, on which Saint Uaudens was at
work at the time of Ms death, and which
has been completed by his assistanta, will
be put In place at Boaton early In the aum
mer. Rev. John Love, who was for twenty-five
vais a chaplain of the city prison In New
York City, snd one of the oldest Baptist
ministers in this country, died recently of
old age.
Th seventh centennial of the foundation
of the Franciscan order of the Roman Cath
olic church will be observed in th spring.

L. Wilbur Maser, general secretary of the
Young Men's Christian association in Chi
cago, has started a project for the erection
near the heart of the city of a hotel to
aoouinmodute 1,000 men. to be run on the
plan of the Mills liotf I In New York City.
He thinks that $y0,000 will be enough to
finance th project.
Mr. Ann Gray of Cheyenne, Wyo., wife
of Itev. n. D. dray, goes with him In all
hla journeys, riding in khaki habit through
the thousands of square mtlea in the fifty
mUslons that he has charge of. oMst of
the people in the country, she says, are
western reserve people, who welcome the
slslit of a mission church, having always
Itwd within sight of a church steeple.
General Booth, "th grand old man" of
the Salvation Army, has just entered upon
his eightieth year, and It la curious to recall
the verdict ot a doctor whom he conaulted
aa a young man. He waa anxious to enter
the ministry, but the medico told him: "It
would be sheer suicide. You would be dead
In a year." And the veteran has only re
cently returned from a world tour, and
aeeina aa full ot energy aa ever.
Rev. Sydney Goodman, director of the
Men'a club of Atlantic City, N. J.. Is being
congratulstad on the success of his work.
The b'uuday night gatherings st his church
have become a feature of Atlantlo City life.
They are limited to th maie sex. Clgara

fuel at home while the minister I preach
ing the aospvl to them. From a congrega
tion of 0 in ISO? his church has now
reached a total membership of more th-ui

Mis. W. W. Shaw, formerly missionary
to China, stated at a meeting of the Wo
man's Union Mission society in New York
that the United States spends more money
each year on ohewing gum than on mis
sions. England's blunders, ahe said, brought
on Urn war with South Africa, but owing to
thia war there la now relisioua liberty in
that part of the world. Americana have a
great opportunity in their immigrants, sh
said, referring to th faet that there are
twenty-three Bohemian papers published In
this country and all but two ar anarchla
tic. "Sometimes 1 think," she said, "that
the church is only playing. Instead of doing
lis duty."

effected permanent organisations. The
Third district wss the first to organise
and adopt a constitution two years ago.
At that time a per capita tax of 10
cents wss voted, but last year this was
reduced to S cents.
In the First district, which Is also a
permanent organisation, a voluntary per
capita tax of i cents has been voted by
several clubs, Including the Lincoln
Woman's club and the Wives of Railway
Postal Clerks of Lincoln. The other
clubs have also been asked to levy this
task. The First district is officered by
Its district vice president as permanent
chairman, the nearest member of the
state executive committee and a secretary-treasurer
appointed by the district
vice president. .
The amsll tax seems to be the most sat
isfactory solution of the finance prob
lem that has yet been tried snd It may
become general In the state. Being
purely voluntary, It can hardly be counted
a tax.

TOSSING B0QUETS TO THE HOG
Brief Bammarr of the Great
the Porker Doe the
World.
Good
The news of the discovery of an anti
cholera serum for hogs, by a scientist at
the State university ot Missouri, Is tre
mendously Important, and It la said to be
true. The hog may not figure, in the popu
lar mind, ss an Inviting subject for a rhap
sody, but when you come to consider hi
economic relationship to th concern of
humanity where, will you find another an
imal with more point in his favor than
Just the hog, with all of hla bristles and
his untidy habits?
The hog comes Into the .world, slmost
without exception. In a "gregarious form.
On never hear of a little pig or a ma
ture hog being "spoiled'' because he 1
the only member of the family. There are
always others and plenty of them to share
the favors that come to the hog household.
It Is quite usual for the "family" to num
ber eight or ten. snd a litter of twelve I
not phenBmenal.
Well, within less than a year of the birth
of a litter of pigs they sre full grown hogs,
carrying several hundred pounds of the best
meat that ever came from the hand of na
ture. Again, each several hog when he goes
to market carries In his corpulent carcass
about ten bushels of corn. If you have
given the subject the attention It calls
for, you can aee how much thla saves the
honest farmer In the wsy of freight
charges In the transportation of corn.
But the hog's usefulness Is by no means
limited to his life. His real virtues begin
to shine forth after he is dead.
To the hog belongs the high privilege
and the honor of furnishing th poor man
hi food. Not that the food is poor, mind
you. and not that it is always cheap; but
it Is more readily producrd snd more
plentiful than any ether sort of animsl
nourishment, and for quality it challenges
competition and ia without a rival.
But it is when it comes to "infinite va
riety" that the hog shine as a food pro
ducer. He is good to st "In any spot or
place." From hla head to his tail he is
a compendium of deliclou parts. Ksnsa

"I swallowed them one at a time with a
