It U barely possible that when he rode

that thla morning will find him In Chicago

for
Once again haa beauty been rewarded.
The member of the senior class of the
Omaha High school have, for several year.
held a fair at the school to raise money
to buy picture and other adornments for
the school rooms. At first the falra did
not amount to much, but they have grown
each year until laat year It waa a big af
fair, over 1700 being realized.
The money "look good," but on the other
hand the fair have necessitated the ex
pendture of much time and labor on the
part of the student and the faculty was
on the verge of prohibiting future exhib
ition because the members bcllved that all
the time and strength of those under their
charge should be put Into their regular
school work.
The pretty high school girl learned of
this Impending prohibition and Friday af
ternoon appointed a committee of the pret
tier one to call upon the faculty and pro
test agalnat the contemplated action. Thla
the committee did and the objections of the
faculty were overcome and that controll
ing body gave Its consent for the holding
of the annual senior fair during the spring
vacation.
The fair will be held on April 2 and 3.

and bloodthirsty Mexican and Spanish
maiden with fan and mantilla flirted
coyly with cowboy and policemen.
I'ntU 11 o'clock everyone on the floor was
masked and the circling dancer made a
picture which wa beautiful and well worth
seeing.
Th hall waa elaborately decorated with
electric light with multi-colored bulb
which added greatly to the effect. Admis
