on the character of tho employment

Is where this bill Is particularly de
fective in exempting from Its bene
fits not only specified employments,
but also employers with less than a
certain number of workmen. Why
social Justice should be accorded to
a laborer hired by a big corporation,

Nebraska Schools and Literaoy.
Nebraska's illiteracy, according to
tho last'consus, is 1.9 per cont of tho
population, as compared with 2.3
per cont ton yoars previous, showing
an encouraging growth In tho rlgb.tUiasc.man. jnade three hits, one of which
direction. Among tho nativo whites
(the Illiteracy Is only 0.6 per cent,
among tho foreign-born whitoB 7.1
,por cont and negroes 7.2 per cent.
Nono of theso showings Is relatively
bad. In Now York, for instanco, tho
general percentage of illiteracy is
6.5, among the foreign-born whites
13.7 per cont and negroes 5 por cent,
.while among tho "nativo whites Q.G
,por cent. I
It is worth whllo noting In this
connection that a larger percentage
of Nebraska's population of school
ages 1b In Bohool than Now York's.
Nebraska has 373,868 minors be
tween the school ages ot 6 and ttO,
an,d 1261,219, or ,9.9 por cont, of
them aro In school. This undoubt
edly Is in part a tribute to tho gen
eral compliance with the compulsory
education law, affecting chlldron un-
dor 14. In addition to this largo per
centage of attendance, Nebraska had
at tho last accounting nearly 10,000
chlldron below 6 years of age and
5,530 adults beyond 21 in school.
It Is no wonder that In our state
for -persons between 10 and 20 years
of age, Inclusive whoso literacy
chlofly doponds upon present school
facilities and attendance, the per
centage of Illiteracy Is only 0.5. Ne
braska's advancement along those

"Havo you found the man who led the

"He Is here, general."
Tho map came forward. The general
unpinned the medal from the breast of
his coat and held It out to the hero.
"Tako thl. my brave fellow," he said,
and his voice shook with emotion as he
extended his arm.
There was a sudden click.
"Thank you." said the stranger. "Th.it
ought to be first-class. Easy, natural,
dignified. Thank you again."
The general stared.
"How Is this?" he demanded. "Just as
I am about to hand you the Jeweled
emblem of surpassing bravery, you draw
n camera on me. Are you not a soldier?"
"Me a soldier.. No, no. I'm not brave
enough for a soldier."
"But you led the forlorn hope?"
"Because It was my duty."
"I don't understand."
"I had to do It or get scooped."
"Then what are you?"
"I'm a staff photographer, general."

connection with the relief work:
'I see by the morning paper that some
ot the ,oari companies are holding luck
the readjustment of their loans' with ihe
cyclone sufferers because some of tho
tornado Insurance companies have not
settled their claims with the building and
loan associations.
"Perhaps you have noticed th.it the
papers have been full of tornsdo Insur

formed that thousands of dollar worth
of premiums have been written and the
money sent out of Omaha for torimdj in
surance. This U no ordinary tornado
loss, but Omaha Is suffering from n :?ront
calamity caused by the most defft. uttlve
tornado this country has ever cxp--l-enced.
Some of our citizens are left
destitute and will remain in that condi

"Therefore the citizens of Omaha are
entitled to know the name? -jf th iniir

nnd the names of the building tnd lean
companies who are being hampered by
the Insurance companies, and v.-p w uld

names are.
"If they do not have power co settle
these claims, then we should Insist iron
the insurance companies lending si-me

There are numerous ways to lie happy.
There are numerous ways to be gsy;

Bis-hearted and meller,
Ho has doped out the easiest way.
A feller kin be quite contented
By making his brother men glad,
Because It's reflected

May come Just to flatter.
