Woman's Heart is
Not to Be Judged
by What She Says
Federal officials are regarding with
astonishment a new example of the
mysterious workings and impulse of a
woman's heart.
Less than a week ago George Rocho
was brought back from Los Angeles,
Cel., where he had been arrested on the
charge of embezzling funds from the
money order department of the Omaha
postoffioe, where he was employed
twelve years ago.
He fled from Omaha in 1904. abandoning
his young wife and their four small
children. His wife slaved, taking board
ers and roomers and working early and
late to keep her little family togethr. She
succeeded and the four children are now
getting to where they aren't much of a
charge to their mother.
When Rocho was arrested his wife said
she wanted nothing to do with hlmv But
when he was brought here last week and
lodged in the county Jail the abandoned
wife, who has struggled these many
years against poverty and has carried the
hurHn f th family, was one nf the
first to visit him. She remained until

SKILL AND POETRY EXHIBITED
By HENRIETTA M. REK8.
The fourth number of the. Charity
Concert course given by the Omaha
Retailers' association took place
Monday night at the Auditorium Ig
nace Jan Paderewskl, the world re
nowned pianist, than whom there
is no more interesting personality
upon the concert stage today, was
presented in a recital of wide di
versity of style and content.
The attendance at this series of con
certs has always been excellent and last
evening an audience even larger than
usual was In evidence. In spite of the
number of extra chairs put In upon the
first .floor, there was not a vacant seat
to be seen downstairs to the very last
row. and a splendid representation ww
made In the gallery.
neeeptlon la Spontaaeoaa.
Many in the audience not knowing Mr.
Paderewskl's preference for playing in
a dimly lighted hall. Could not under
stand tha lowering of the lights. Per
sonally I rather like It, the softness of
rsdlance being restful to the eye and
allowing one to concentrate attention
more thoroughly upon the muslo Itself.
When Mir. Paderewskt entered, many In
the audience rose as a mark of courtesy
to a great artist. This Is a deiictittul
custom, both In Europe and In manv of
the larger eastern cities, and one whUt
should find favor everywhere.
Mr. Paderewskl proved again lr his
program of last evening his many '.Malms
to the high rank accorded him In tho
musical world. His poetry of thought,
breadth of conception and mastery of
technic were clearly In evidence through
out the program. He has an impressive
personality, which is felt In great meai
ure through his playing, and which has
a way. of tricking the mind away frt m
the music itself and suggesting thoughts
and ideas through it.
Essentially Emotional.
This was especially so In the old
French numbers and the Chopin group.
Mr. Paderewskl is essentially an emo
tional player. An Immense variety of
light and shade flits constantly through
his music, and a wealth of tonal beauty
radiates out at will, sometimes from the
very heart of a heavy chord passage.
His softer work was of the finest, and
his poetry of interpretation whs most
keenly felt.
The program opened with the "Fantasia
opus 16," by Schubert. The many beau
ties of this rarely beautiful number were
carefully brought out. The allegro con
fuoco was played with great breadth of
tone and brilliancy, in contrast to the
lovely adagio, which glowed with lyric
beauty and led through the presto to the
brilliant closing movement. This was fol
lowed by. three dainty old French minia
tures. "La Bandoline" and "Le Carillon."
by F. Couperon, and "Le Coudou," by
Daquln. Here there was such a subtlety
or color, such delicacy and elegance of
style as to completely captivate the hear
era. Rosses Enthnslaam.
The "Ktudes Bymphoniques," by Schu
mann, were wonderfully played. In these
there wss a magnetic sense of rythm, a
clearness of exposition through the nu
merous variations, and a last tremendous
sweep of tonal power as the muslo rose
to the grand climax of the closing etude
which was impressive in the highest de
gree and evoked great enthuslaam in
i - ji .
m Buuic-nce, 10 wnicn mo artist re
sponded with "Warura," by Schumann,
interpreted with exquisite sentiment.
The Chopin group were among the
most enjoyable of the entire program, tho
beautiful "Nocturne in E major," played
with exquisite charm, preceded a group
of carefully chosen Etudes, tho beauteous
melodies for which were carefully devel
oped, one with appealing quality, singing
out from a witchery of dainty accom
paniment, another powerful and eloquent,
while the third was full of fascination
in its meditative mood and warmth of
tonal charm. The "Butterfly Etude,"
played with utmost grace and dlsttctlvely
Individual interpretation, was repeated.
"Masurka In A Minor," waa to the
writer, one of the gems of the evening.
This dainty number seemed more like
the memory of a dance than tho dance
Itself, and one seemed to feel not only
the grace of the characters seen in retro
spect, but also that delicate imagery
which comes with thoughts of pleasant
scenes gone Vy.

"Scherzo In B Minor" waa played with
great pasHion and fire, now rising to

melodious song, until the tempestuous

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo
If you want to keep your hair In good
condition, be careful what you wash It
with.
Most soaps and prepared ehampoos con
tain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very
harmful. Just plain mulslfted cocoanut
oil (which la pure and entirely grease
less). Is much better than the most ex
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly Injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub It In. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and 11 leaves

to manage.
Vou can get mulstfled cocoanut oil at

and a few ounces Is enough to last every

Rheumatism is a direct result of eating
loo mucn meat and other rich foods that
produce uric aMd which is absorbed Into
the blood. It Is the function of the kid
neys to niter this acid from the blood
and cast it out in the urine; the pores
of the kln are also a means of freeing
the blocxl of this Impurity. In damp and
cumy com wramcr me skin pores are
closed thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work, they become weak and
sluggish and fall to eliminate the uric
acid which keeps accumulating and clr
culatlng through the system, eventually
settling In the Joints and muscles causing
stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu
matism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful In a
glass of water and drink before break
