KIDDIES HELP -SELVES
Mrs. T. L. Kimball, in making her
annual report on the Creche, shows
lo the directors that there is a bal
ance in the treasury of '$276 and that
much fjood has been done during the
year just closed. Following is the
president's report: i
"Everybody -likes to hear about
children. A children's charity with
age and reliability to back its claim
should be of absorbing interest.
Eleven years' experience in distribut
ing alms to Omaha's poverty stricken
people convinced us that a better wav
was. to help poor folks to help tl'em
nelve. With this in view on October
4. 1837. a hand of earnest women, led
iiy the philanthropist, Mrs. Dinsmore.
ciation, whose charter permits main
taining "a home for tnc children of
working women, a day nursery, a kin
dergarten,"' etc. The money was
raised, a small triangular city lot
was Riven us. free of rent, and a
S12.000 brick and stone building was
built pon.;t. Its doors were opened
February 22, .1889. and have never
' Uern closed to needy applicants.
"Ai'lc'r tv.ir.y years we find it is bes.t
lu icjrralc the c'ay nursery from the,
):orre for ol''er children, and are now
lool.i.13 fo'r a, p'ace lo open a Creche
in a more cmt-'ai location, where it is
r;r;atiy needed.
"'The commodious ' buildings and
jl ady playgrounds arc the property of
the society, thanks to the munificence
of one of On aha's generous benefac
tors Anna Wilson. We still depend
. on voluntary contributions for our
'daily bread,' to say nothing of the
butter. .- '
One Days' Work.
'"Let me give you a record of one '
day last month at the Creche: Fortv j
children under 10 and over 2 years!
were up and dressed and eating break
fast at 7:30 o'clock, twenty or more
, were prepared (or school, which ' is
. held in the old Kimball home, how
the "property of the society, where
they arc taught by a teacher supplied
. by the city. The tots too young to
go to school were left in care of a kind
nurse, a glass of milk or an apple
was the bctween-meal luncheon, and a
play out of defers (as the aywas
fine).- a substantial meal at noon of
stewed meat, .plenty of gravy, po
tatoes and beans were prepared on
' each plate, a small spoon and fork
nesiae tt, milk tor drink, shoes of
bread spread with stewed fruit for pie.
and no little Oliver ever asks in vain
- for more. After dinner all the little
ones took a nap at 3:30 a luncheon
.-was served, then- they played on ,the
broad piazzas till supper time, and at
8 o'clock each little crib held a child.
" not all asleep; a few tears were shed
, by a newcomer or two, but soon sleep
came to all, and the day was done.
Cribs'' are wry important features of
this institution; many are endowed

articles' needed. When renewing is
necessary the matron notifies 'tha.cn

"Happening Ja at dinneruunr the
,. .other day. I was 10 pleased at the
.. spectacle (hat I must try to describe
it:Thh-ty-seven children marched into
the dining room and took their seats
at the tables without confusion ; all
' were furnished with bibs, the elders
helping thesmall ones, a moment of
, folded hands, a simple grace repeated
and each smiling mouth was soon
busy. We shall surely find good citi
zens brought up in such a home as
this.
. ' . .Christmas.
"The matron, Mrs. Weidt, now en-'-
tering on her twentieth year of service
here, and to whose management is
due the good health and happiness of
her large family, tells us ijiat their
Christmas was unusually gay, with its
large gathering of children and their
.' parents.
"The verses recited, the songs and,
above all, the dancing of one of the
. : wee-est filled the house with merri
. ment; then came Santa Claus, the verv
same, who has helped us this many a'
year. Bless him! and a harder worked
1 Santa Claus never came down a chim
ney. There was an abundance of
toys, every one was specially rc
.membered, and right here let me sav
that owing to the absence of our sec
retary many acknowledgments are
v still to be made. A more grateful fam
ily than this at the beautiful tree on
Christmas eve it would be hard to
find. 1.

ings on those who by their generosity
make its life possible.

- - Water Good Despite
The Typhoid Cases
Three cases of typhoid fever near
Thirty-fourth street and Poppleton
avenue witnin a year aroused the in
terest of local and state authorities to
the extent of making chemical and
bacteriological tests of city 'water
taken from mains in that negihbor-
hood.
Reports of those tests, received by
neaun commissioner ;LX)nnell inch
cate that the water is germ-free. ;
"The source of these typhoid cases
probably was a carrier, a condition
which is difficult to trace," stated the
health commissioner. .
! In view of the low condition of the
- river at this time the health commis,-
sioner is making frequent tests of the
city water. Recent tests show the
water in good condition. These tests
will be continued indefinitely.

low stage in a winter season.
"Ramona"
When W. H. Clune,' the Paei6c
coast film magnate, announced he was
going to make a motion picture pro
duction of "Rainona," that thoroughly
lovable story of early California life
by Helen Hunt Jackson, little did he
realize that he was erecting a monu
ment to the memory of the life work
of that noble woman. Neither did he
realize that this picture production
would mark an epoch in the history
of the United States, for so carefully
and thoroughly has this picture been
made, so wonderfully has every detail
of the book 1ieen portrayed, that the
picture production stands head and
shoulders above them all.
The thrilling episodes of the early
life in California, which was then
under Spanish rule, are depicted in a
manner that reaches the very height
of realism. Perhaps never before has
such a wealth of detail been incor
porated in a single picture produc
tion. Consisting of 13 000 'feet of film,
"Ramona" leaves' nothing to the ima
gination and fairv makes the pages
of that wonderful Book throb with life
and emotion. ,
A return engagement in Omaha of
"Ramona" will be given at the Boyd
theater on Thursday, Friday, and Sat
urday when it will be shown continu
oustly from 1 to 11 p. m. at popular
prices, under the auspices of -Elliott &
Sherman promoters of the "Birth of
a Nation." The cinema-operatic spec
tacle, as "Ramona" is called because
of its elaborate character, was eight
months in tjic tr-aHng under the di
rection of Donald Crisp on the iden
tical scenes of Mrs. Jackson's book.

John Mason will begin an engage
ment of i'our days at the Brandeis
theater Wednesday night, appearing
in A. H. yood's production of the
Harvard prize play, "Common Clay,"
written by Cleves Kinkead. Mr.
Mason will interpret his original
character of Judge Filson, a stage
type said to fit his odd personality
better than any character he has ap
peared in in recent years, not except
ing his delightful Brookfield in "The
Witching Hour." The story in the
Kinkead drama is told in thfee acts
and an epilogue and deals with the
sex problem in a bold, direct and
powerful fashion, according to the
New York critics. The star's great
scene, it appears, is in the climax
where, as Filson the prosecuting at
torney, he is confronted with his own
daughter, in the young girl plaintiff,
one Ellen Neal, whose mother and
Judge Filson lived a .romantic past in
olden days. Mr. Mason will be aided
by a fine gathering of associate play
ers, comprising what is reported to
be the best supporting company ever
given the popular star, and the play
is to be presented with all the scenic
detail of Mr.Wood's ofiginal New
York Republic theater production.
Mr. Mason's former appearances in
this city1 when he appeared in the Au
gustus Thomas dramas several years
ago is pleasantly recalled. Since then
he has playecL thre full seasons in
New York, and his many local ad
mirers are pleased to give hira new
welcome. .There will be a matinee
performance on Saturday afternoon;
"That Other Woman," sponsored
by the producing firm of Vance &
Sullivan, will be the attraction at the
Boyd for four days beginning today,
with matinees today and Wednesday.
The play is founded on incidents that
happen in every day life. The story
is told to some extent by the title.
A case in point has been utilized as
the foundation of this great American
domestic drama, "That Other
Woman, and it brings home a les
son to every man and woman,
whether single or married. The com
pany seen in this- production is
headed by Helena Claire Benedict,
the emotional actress who has toured
the country in many Broadway suc
cesses. -
"The greatest dramatic dancers I
have ever seen," is what Sarah Bern
hardt said after she had enjoyed a
performance given by Alice Eis and
Bert French. These interpretive
dancers come to the Orpheutri fop the
week, starting matinee today, and
present "Hallowe'en," a fantasy in
three scenes. They will be supported
by Mr. Joseph Niemeyer and a corps
de ballet Farceur and eccentric come
dian, Bert Fitzgibbon, is scheduled as
one of the special features. Assist
ing Mr. Fitzgibbon will be Miss Fran
ces Kepler, well known in- Omaha,
who made her stage debut when a
child at the local Orpheum. "Pough
keepsie" is the title of the sketch to
be oresented by Charley Grapcwin
and Anna Chance. Raymond ' and
Caverley. comedians, are described as
"wizards of joy." "In the Maid's Ab
sence is, a sketch to De presented
wholly by canine" players. Mile.
Doria is the author, producer and
staee manager. Brent Hayes - is a
revelation to those who have always
considered the banjo an instrument
of simple melodies. He extracts
astonishing tones from that instru
ment. Called "a rosebud of song,'
Neil Q'Connell, endowed with a colo
ratura voice, is youtniui ana pretty
and nossesses a charming personality.
A city of China, and Ghent, the most
beautiful city in Belgium, will be mo
tion picture features ot the Orpheum
Travel Weekly, which will also give
glimpses of the far north in Siberia.
Four vaudeville acts are presented

management believes are the equal
of any bill offered so far this season.
