The story is told that when suffrage was lost in a certain Cana dian province the overjoyed legisla ture of the district made some very unpleasant remarks.

Frances Nash to Play In Omaha on Decmber 10 Frances Nash will be heard at the Metropolitan club house on December 10. Miss Nash's story is not that of the artist who has risen in spite of poverty, but of the artist who has held herself to a sound purpose in spite of the many lures of riches. Miss Nash says: "Everyone in this world should have some goal. I de cided to enter the professional field because in no other way would I hold myself to the highest standard of ac complishment. When a musician knows he has to appear in public at stated intervals and give an ac counting of his talents, in compari son with other performers it brings out his best efforts as nothing else will. Inspiration alone is not enough." Persistence la the Cardinal Virtue In Advertising. Hotel Loyal SPECIAL Thanksgiving Dinner 12:30 to 9:00 $1.00 MUSIC MILLARD HOTEL L. RENTFROW, Prop.
