By Mellificia. jr m vyn SAY, WHAT would we In Omaha do without the country clubs to furnish summer diversion? Really, I would not risk a guess; but I know that in these days the country clubs are the social centers, and that everybody who pretends to be anybody belongs to one or more of them. To accommodate one another without conflict, the clubs have tried to select different days for the weekly dancing parties Tuesday at the ;, Happy Hollow, Wedensday at the Field club, Friday at the Seymour " Park, Saturday at the Country club so those who want to keep a-going - all the time can make a regular circuit of them all. Country club society is the savior of swelldom during the summer months. I don't know anything else that would induce lazy folks to " spruce up, and try to make themselves look pretty t and presentable. . iWhen the men show themselves willing to doff their-worklng clothes and don outing togs, why the women would seem like unappreciative ingrates if they didn't put on a few frills themselves. - -. That reminds me of a good story perpetrated by one of the infant prodigies of a well known family who happened in on his grandmother in the West Farnam district while she was dding her hair: "Grandma, Where's the rat?" queried the curious codger. . "Why, boy," she replied indignantly, "we don't have rats running around our house." ' y ' "I don't mean. that, kind of a rat. I mean the rat you put on your head like.ymother.", v . ' 7 "Oh,; came the answer with a relieved expression, "grandma never uses a rat in her hair." ; . 'Then, grandma, you can't go to the Country club," was the kiddo's crusher.-' -v ' '' ' . . ; In, Honor of Mrs. Portcrfield. Mrs. R. B.

Arm W A Nephew's Honor Puts M'Grew in Between If you should wander into the Live Stock National bunk these days you will perceive a melancholy looking individual hunched up in a corner of the private office of the bank. He holds a telegram in his hand and his gaze is directed to wards the plains of the Sunflower state. The man is C. F. McGrew, president of the Live Stock National bank, and a loyal adherent of the republican party and President Taft. The telegram is a message from Kansas announcing the nomination of Arthur Capper as guberna torial nominee on fthe bull moose ticket of Kansas state. The dubious expression upon President McGrew's mobile countenance Is super Induced by the knowledge that his most avuncular sentiments have been outraged by the perverse political course of his favorite nephew, who in all probability will be the next governor of Kansas. Not that President McGrew objects to governors. To have a governor attached to the family tree, is almost as great an honor as having a blue ribbon banker which Mr. McGrew is; also it is more respectable than being a mere editor, which, until his nomination, Mr. Capper was. . v-- .

So it " hap pened that when the Honorable Arthu; Capper laid down his editorial pen one day and sent word that he would go out and bring home a nomination for gover nor of Kansas his Omaha relative sat down and wrote his commendation of the young man's course. To be sure of the political orthodxy of his nephew, how ever, Mr. McGrew Impressed upon I113 stalwart nephew some' of the sacred and cardinal principles' of true republicanism. Not trusting to Kansas propriety of poli tics Mr. McGrew insisted that President William Howard Taft was the nominee of the republican party and the best presi dent who has ever sat In the chair of George Washington. Incidentally he also Intimated to his dear nephew that Presi dent Taft was his choice for the presi dency. And now after his labor and tears, politically speaking, Nephew Arthur Capper has taken up with those "bad bull mooscrs." What wonder there fore that C. F.
