Let ha Iarkin. Norfolk, Neb. Father J C
Larkin, Ninth Grade, High School, Miss
Payne (Principal), Teacher, Aged 16
Years
WANT ET) hreblnTerygTrls; '
Dorothy.- Rhea and Caroline, thTee girls
of about 17 years of age, were sluing In
the hammock when Rhea spoke up, "We
want to have a good picnic this summer
and not one like we had last year."
"We want to have lota of fun, too," said
Dorothy.
i ,"Aid we need lots of money," Inter
rupted Caroline, laughing, "for we want to
ride out In a hayrack and have hammocks
and swings, and there will be a number of
thing we'll want."
"I'll tell you what." said Dorothy, "let's
have a 'free picnlc;"that Is. free, for all the
;; poor folks, and they won't have to bring
,. , one thing. Invite poor Mrs. Morgan, who
-washes every day for a living; Susie, the
cripple, who never has any happiness; old
. Mr. Clark, who walks on crutches, and
those poor Brown children and girls;
. there's so many, we could make happy Just
- for one day."
Rhea and Caroline agreed to the plan,
,. but how should they manage It. Money
was wanted. Caroline, who had been earn
. estly thinking, suddenly jumped up, ran
. Into the house and brought out The Bee.
She looked up and down the want ad
columns anxiously. "Oh, I've got It," ex
claimed Caroline Joyously.
"Oat what?" questioned Rhea, taking the
paper from her hands.
Rhea read the above want ad. while
Dorothy lnokad over her shoulder.
. The girls were so p eased and uxolted they
fairly hupg.-d each other.
"Tou dear paper," exclaimed Rhea, laugh
Ingly. "If we only can r-t the work." said
Caroline, "wo can then earn the money for
Our picnic."
The next mnrulng three anxious girls in
quired at the address given for the posi
tion. The glrle obtalntd It and worked steadily
for one month of their summer vacation.
At the end of that Ume the girls stopped
working and each little purse contained a
- nice little sum for the "free picnic." At
last tba day arrived. Mrs. Morgan, fiusle,
Mr. Clark, the Brown children and all
of tha poor and unhappy people were in
vited. "Don't bring one thing," the girls said
. over and over again to every nu mber of
tha picnic. The "free picnic" was a sao
eaes. Every hi'ar. us made ..id nothing
but pleasure and hu;. mcs reigned
throughout the picnic grounds that day.
After It was all over, Caroline said, "It
makes me feel happy to see how those
Poor folks enjoyed that picnic"
"lie, too," said Dorothy.
"But on little want ad did it all," said

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Eey. Houseman Talks on "Christian
Patriotism."
PARK BOARD IS WITHOUT FUITDS
Needed Work Will Have to Walt In.
til the Kerr levy Is Made
Available for
lie.
Rev. Rtlph II. Houseman of the Castellar
Presbyterian church delivered Bn address
Vefore the Woman's Missionary society of
the First Presbyterian church In South
Omsha Sunday evening on "Christian Pa
triotism at Home and Abroad." Ha said
In part:
"Christian patriotism knows no govern
mental boundaries. It has an anthropologi
cal significance. Its full scope takes In
the farthest limits of humanity. America
with Its advantages Is In the vanguard
of th nations which can see beyond th
mountains and rivers and seas which marV
Its boundaries. With a fuller development
of Chrtstlsn patriotism at home has come
the fellow feeling for the benighted and
the passive nations and peoples of un
christian lands."
Park Improvements Tied Vxt.
The park corrmlsslonere have found
themselves In a position which ties up most
of the contemplated Improvements for the
balance of the year The board had $3,000
In the fund, but the new charter provides
that any balances shall be turned In at
the close of the year to form a sinking
fund to pay off the olty's bonded Indebted
ness. The board will therefore have to
wait until the new levy becomes available
before work can be taken up. The 'new
charter provides for the lssuanoe of $15,000
bonds for permanent Improvement in the
city parks. These bords are to be Issued
at the request of th Board of Park com
missioners. Some Improvements are greatly needed Ip
Spring Lake park at present, although the
park commissioners have done much. Since
the lake has been drained It will be neces
sary to find some way of diverting the
storm water which carries so much setll
ment and clay into the bed with every rain.
This Is ono of the problems before th
board. With the Issue of bonds this work
may be undertaken.
Lodging; House Raided.
The police raided a lodging house at
Twenty-sixth and P streets Saturday night
and took Into custody seven Roumanians
on th charge of gambling. The men were
John Aldia, John Chulute, Joe Mlnke, Paul

Hanson Creditors
Meet on Tuesday
Postponement Necessary to Get In
formation from Some Oat-of-Town
Parties.
The meeting of Tolf Hanson's creditors
to decide what disposition will be made of
his business will be held at the Paxton
hotel at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. It
was found necessary to postpone the meet
ing from Monday morning because of de-
ays in getting Information hy letter on
some of Mr. Hanson's oat-of-town ao-
counts.
The report that Tolf Hanson is in a
sanitarium In Lincoln or Council Bluffs Is
absolutely without foundation and could
not possibly be true," says Carl Herring,
attorney for the missing restaurant man.
"If he wer anywhere but In New York
or on his way hotn his family or I would
know It."
Mrs. Hanson heard from him laat on the
IStb, when a wire from New York said that
he 'was ready to start for home, having
completed his business In th east, and
since then ther has been no word of any
sort. The persistent rumor that he Is In
sanitarium is denied by her as em
phatically as by Mr. Herring.
If In the Judgment of the creditors th
two places can together make enough to
tide the Hanson cafe over Its present em
barrassment both will be kept open. Men
who are familiar with th affairs of Mr.
Hanson ar confident that th Sixteenth
street cafe can be made to pay If It Is
kept open. Its liabilities are estimated at
$120,000.
'It Is very unlikely," said one of them.
'that th creditors will close the Hanson
cafe. It would be not only a bad thing
for Omaha to fail to support such an en
terprise, but it would be very plainly
against the best Interests of the creditors
themselves, since Judicious management
now will bring the whole tangle throiu; h
without loss to anyone.

County Hospital and Farm.
OMAHA. July 26.-To the Editor of Tho
Hee: The county commissioners now have
under consideration some questions con
cerning tho county hospital and farm lliat
should be considered thoroughly and
cautiously before any decisive action is
taken upon them.
Some of the questions that arise In the
minds of cltisens whose attention has been
called to this matter are: How much of
th farm Is under lease to the Field club?
What ar th terms of the lease? Can the
land be sold to good advantage, subject
to this leaser Is there not a strong prob
ability that the land would bring at least
2S per cent more two years later ihan
It would nowt
Th persons who are cared for by the
county on this farm, as they are commonly
classed, are the Indigent, the diseased and
the Insane. It Is true that the best manner
of caring for these people requires thre
.separate places or btihdlngs; but there
should be a large piece of ground with
each building, not a stingy little yard. And
U should be large enough to afford Con
siderable opportunities for cultivation of
the soil.
One very Important truth pertaining to
the car of people seems to be entirely over
looked, or Ignored by most public officers
and physicians, namely, that the condition
of mind and body depend largely up'jn
having or not having some useful work
to dp. It should be the Invariable rule
of every Institution maintained by the state
or county or city, that so far as possihli!
opportunities for work be furnished, and
that every person be required to do as
much as Is consistent with proper care of
the health.
I notice that some persons are saying thst
those who are kept at the county hospital
(as It Is called) are not able to work, and
If they were they would not be thre;
and yet one of th chief complaints about
th present arrangement or situation
seems to be that the place Is so near
the city that many of the Inmates walk
Into the city, for purposes that cannot be
approved. The distance to the central part
of the city Is about two and a half miles.
If a person can walk five miles for the
sake of gratifying a desire to see the
sights, or of getting some firewater. Is
he not able to do at least a little work of
some kind?
My Impression Is that tnls Institution, like
many others, has all he modern facilities
for making people Indigent, laxy, sick and
Insane, and scarcely any Influence tending
th other way. BERIAH F. COCHRAN.
