THE BEE: OMAHA,- TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1917. 7 By MELLIFICIA-Oct. 8. The reigning queen of Ak-Sar-Ben lias the distinction of being the only regent in the royal line who is a true daughter of Omaha. Queen Elizabeth Reed conies of a line who are. early pioneers of Nebraska and Omaha, and it is therefore most fitting that she should rule this domain. The regent's mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Reed, have both lived in the city all of their lives, as Mr. Reed's father, Mr. Byron Reed, came to Omaha in 18S2, and as the founder of the Byron Reed company was a very prominent figure until the time of his death, about twenty-five years ago. The queen's maternal grandfather, Mr. B. E. Balchs, came to Nebraska soon after the close of the war. Mr. Balchs was very promi nently connected with the Omaha Na tional bank for many years. To have an Ak-Sar-Ben queen whose parents and grandparents have had such, a large part in the building of the king dom over which she rules makes her the most distinctive monarch of all the line which precedes her, and this fact, coupled with her lovely gracious ness to all her subjects, will no doubt make her the best loved queen the realm has ever known.

PROHIBIT FORTUNE TELLERSCHARGING Religions Organizations Not to be Interfered With, But No Direct Fee Can Be Col lected, Says Ordinance. The operation of an ordinance, recommended by the city council committee of the whole ior passage Tuesday morning will prohibit for tune tellers, clairvoyants and others charging "fees" for readings, seances and other forms of profiteering in futurities. "These people are now operating without a city license and claim to be members of religious organizations and on that basis there will be no objection to them holding meetings as such an! talking up collections, but my investigations show that some have not held to the faith they expressed when the council elimi nated the license and allowed them to.operate as religious organizations," stated Commissioner Kugel, who in troduced the new ordinance. Mr. Kugel added that some have been selling "love powders." As soon as the ordinance shall have gone into effect the police will arrest those who break over. Membership certificates on file in the city clerk's office indicate names of "spiritualists" who belong to organ izations known as International Spir itualists' union, Christian Spiritual un ion and the National Spiritualists' As sociation of the United States. Some of the certificates grant to holders the rights to serve as "ministers of spiritualism," while others read "me dium missionary" and a few read "let ter of ordination." Commissioner Kugel explains he is not attacking those who are honestly following the beliefs of their denomi nation, but he does intend to make Omaha an undesirable habitat for the imposters.

They promise to answer postal cards, letters or even cable grams. All are members of Company B, Second infantry, Fort Shatter, Honolula, H. I. Take your choice from this list, girls: Joseph C. Don nelly, Jack: Kyan, tawara j. mc Cricket, Loyal Swift; Arthur W. Car ney and John J. Dowling. But Half of Jury Panel Reports for Service Jurymen were scarce when the sec ond panel of veniremen was called in district court Monday morning. Out of the 150 jurors summoned by Elec tion Commissioner Moorhead only about eighty reported to Judge Sears, presiding judge. The small number was attributed to the draft, army and navy enlistments and deaths. A couple of law suits had to be post poned because there were not enough jurymen to report in each of the sev en district court rooms. There were no jury cases tried in district court during Ak-Sar-Ben week. Rush to Buy Coal as Mercury Drops- in Tube Monday was the biggest day that the coal dealers have had since last winter. The change from warm to cold brought on a rush for coal and all the offices were swamped with orders early in the day. Practically all the dealers sold coal with the un derstanding that if there should be a decline in prices, purchasers would be allowed the rebate. Soliloquy of Modern Eve What kind of eyes have you? Two pair of eyes "looked out from prison bars ; one saw mud, the other saw stars." By ADELAIDE KENNERLT. What kind of eyes have you? I don't mean black or brown or blue or gray. Nor the deep, da-k lakes the poets tell us about, nor the pools fringed with silky shades. I care not whether they are pretty eyes or tired, dull eyes or sparkling it is what they see that counts. There ire eyes in the midst cf millions of eyes, that see darkness and gloom-ahead. They see the pitfalls in shadows, and the future is a murky cloud rolling slowly in. All the hideousness of life reflects in these eyes and they telegraph their impressions to the brain they sicken the soul. Do these eyes follow the crowd? .Certainly! The same good old crowd that you and I follow every day; the same hustling "good and . bad" crowd; the same group of de serving folks doing their best to get on in life. Each has something worth while to give to the world and each is getting his full share in retun.. But these eyes see crime in every form. They see plotting and plan ning among the innocent; they see wickedness behind every' good natured smile; they see treachery as a motive for each little kindness and Judas behind every kiss. Ah, yes! There are other eyes. They may be blue or brown or gray, but they see the sunshine of life. They peer into darkest caves and find the wonders of the earth. In the moving mass of humanity they find love, sympathy and a kin dred spirit. T,nev see some good in everybody and they have the power to reduce, to a dot, the bad. In the melancholy days they see 'an opportunity for reflection, and make the best of it. They sift their impressions of brighter days, and heed both the best and the worst. What matters to these eyes that the sky is clouded or that reverses overtake them when least ex pected? They se,e the light ahead piloting them to a rosy future and a life quite worth the strife. So, then, when we see only the blue, or the brown, or the gray of eyes, we haven't see the eves at all only the shades colored by nature and drawn over the windows of the soul by the Creator. Tell me what your eyes sefc-and I will tell you what kind of eyes you have. Two pair of eyes "looked out from prison bars one saw mud and the other saw .tars." Advice to the Lovelorn A WISE PART OF ANY MEAL By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Not Wise to Continue. Dear Miss Fairfax: The girl Is II and the boy It. The feeling of the flrl toward the boy has been constant, having developed from a very warm friendship to love; the boy Is a student, with fully six years of col lege and at least one year of outside train ing before him. during which time he must devote his entire time to his studies, and the girl Is and has been determined to wait for him. What Is your advice to both? They both are friends of mine. I considered the entire business as a children's affair until I find the matter to be quite serious with the young lady, who seems to be very much hurt over the fact that her boy friend has to give her up for his studies. I really don't know .whether or nob your advice will be heeded W them, but we might try any how. H. The facts In . the case hardly permit of a continuance of this boy and girl affair. Since for six or seven years the boy'a main Interest must center in his work, he can not give the girl enough attention and de votion to make her happy. Bo much Is evident In fairness to his work he would have to neglect the girl and there Is ab solutely no object tn his going to college and getting an education If he is going to neglect his studies for his sweetheart. As far as the girl is concerned, If ahe la a normal, healthy young person sbe will atop wanting what ahe can't have a soon aa ahe comes absolutely to recognise the f;t that ahe can't have It which Isn't quite as hard and cold and Indifferent as It sounds. As long as she centers her life and Its In terests about the boy he Is likely to seem necessary to her, but once she wakes up to the fact that ahe will have to get on without him aha. probably will turn her at tention to other things provided always that ahe Is a normal girl, who is sane and well developed mentally. Touth has a way of recovering and forgetting the heart of youth seldom breaks. That Is a blessing and a fact. The young folks had better separate quickly without getting any more serious over the affair, which cannot ter minate to anybody'a advantage. He Is Wrong. r... vriu VairfnT! Mv fiance and I wish you would settled an argument Ho wishes . on n fiheenshead Bay to meet him at his club, when ho has nothing else to do but come for me. I do not think It a wise thing to do, and he seems to think It all right But at the same time he-dlsap. proves of two girls going to Coney Island unescorted. Do you not think he ought to call for me and escort me to hla club? F. B. Both of you ire looking at this from an entirely personal viewpoint and then trying to pretend to yourselves that you feel there Is a principle Involved. Theoretical well behaved young women can go unescorted to any respectable place. If two girls want a day's recreation and choose to spend It at any of our beaches, no one has a right to criticise them unless they behave cheap ly, flirt, talk with atrange men, make them selves conspicuous, or do the sort of thing which would be equally Improper on Broad way or Fifth avenue. On the other hand, I do not believe that a young woman ought to go unescorted to a man's club. That lays her open to criticism and may cause evil, minded men to feel free to annoy her. I'm afraid your fiance la just a little bit laxy and Just a little tyrannical, but surely if you talk to him good-naturedly about It you can make htm "see the light" It Would Be Better to Tell. Dear Miss Fairfax: Kindly let me know If I am Justified In not telling the sweet heart I am engaged to be married to tnat I was arrested and sent to prison. Tears have passed and I have1 outlived my offense. What do you think? ONE PERPLEXED. It seems to me that In not telling the woman who la to share your life of this Reuters, Limited, says that Argen eplsode tn your past, you are acting on the presumption that she Is not big enough and fine enough to understand and accept If she Is at once a sweetheart and a real helpmate she ought to be capable of com plete understanding and sympathy, and I hope exactly that Is the case. Tou will feel happier and freer after you have elveH her your complete confidence and and you will avoid the possibility of an ugly situation In the future. She may find out accidentally and fee'l belittled by the lack of confidence which kept you silent She may really be the sort of woman who cannot accept and understand the fact that we all gain tremendously by bitter experience when we use it Is a stepping stone to better thing. If she Is the sort of woman to Judge harshly, wouldn't It be better to know It even If that means losing her? Have Your Mother Meet Them. Dear Mies Fairfax; In my1 town Is a naval station, where there are a number of young boys training. I have met quite a few and have had many Invitations to go out with them, which I have to refuse because my mother does not approve. I am 17. Now, Mies Fairfax, I would like to know whether I should Stave these boys call, knowing that my mother idoes not' ap prove, and have them meet her, because I would love to go out with them, but not against her wishes. Mother has never met any of them and perhaps she would -think differently toward them la she knew nme of them. BILL1E H. The only safe and aane way to conquer your mother's objections to these young navigators Is to have her meet them. Oet her permission to Invite some of them to your house and trust her fairness and ma ture Judgment to decide whether or not her little girl can afford to be friends with these boys. Fall Gardening , There is nothing more delicious than asparagus and the supply never quite meets the demand. Why not try raising some in your own back yard? A few gardening hints may help bring the supply and demand closer to gether. Asparagus roots for spring planting should be dug in the fall and kept on a shelf in the cellar or basement until spring. Do not keep them in a warm place or they may sprout too early. They should be planted out as soon as the spring days have arrived. In selecting these roots for planting, discard all those which have very fine roots and many small shoots. Coarse roots and shoots denote strong plants. When asparagus shoots become stingy, stop cutting the crowns and let the shoots go to seed. All dead tops should be removed in the fall and fer tilizer should be applied between rows. When growing asparagus from seed, sow the seed either in the spring, or fall, and tend the plants carefully. Transplant when two years old. Asparagus will grow well in a var iety of soils, the one condition being to avoid too much moisture.-A rich sandy loam is the best soil, as it will grow warm earlier in the spring than the heavy soil. Next year's yield of asparagus will depend upon this year's fertilizer and cultivation. ASK.

CHARTER OAK STOVE & RANGE CO., St Louis, Mo. Little Bobbie's Pa By WILL: AM F. KIRK. I have had the plcshur of reeding a truly grate artikle, sed I'a to Ma last nite. It says in this artikle that the trubbel with the human race is that we do not help one another enuff. The rceson I like that artikle so much, I'a scd. is beckatis it says jest what I have always sed. Man is selfish, woman is selfish, & even the littel child is setfish, l'a sed. How ofTcn do you see a littel child grab bing a toy away from another child & saying that is my wagon & you cant play with it. That is vary true, scd Ma, & how does the man that rote the great artikle think that he is going to change human nater? He admits that he can't change it, sed Fa, but he says that if everybody wud help a little it wud change itself. We slutd all mi moar unselfish, Pa scd. Take me, for instens, sed Pa, thare isent a selfish hair in my lied. I newer hesi-tait to divide with my fainbly & friends. Pa sed. If I was unselfishcf taan I am, Pa sed, we wud be broak. Yes, sed Ma, you are a dear boy that way, sure enuff. It kind of taiks the curse off sum of yure other hab its, Ma sed, yure habit of whacking up. Jest then one of Ma's nabors cairn in & sed to Ma I wud like to borrow a pound of sugar & a half pound of tea & sum coffee & eggs & cream till tomorrow cr next week, she scd. Ccrtingly, sed Ma. I will git it for you. & sum starch & sum knifes & forks, she sed to Ma, we are going, to have cumpany today & thay are kind of stuck up. We are kind of stuck up, too, sed Pa after the nabor had went out. She stuck us ud for everything ex- cop the sidebord, Fa scd. How sweet it is to live in a naborly under standing with our nabors, Fa sed. Well, sed Ma, that is the kind of thing you were jest telling about reeding in yure wonderful book. Human charity doesnt ring so sweet, Ma sed, wen you taik it hoam & try it on the piano. I cud have jest as well let her husband borrow my dress sute & a extra shirt, sed Pa. If she is going to be our steddy nabor I am go ing to brake our leese. It seems funny to'hcer a generus soul like you go on in thai strane, sed Ma. She was laffing at l a. I am a generus soul, & you know it, scd Fa, but I have a lot of per sonal frends in the borrowing biz ness & I like to taik cair of them first. They helped me wen I had the borrowing feever, several yeers ago, sed Fa. So thay did, sed Ma, & if you say so I will turn this lady down cold the next time she calls for a littel chat and a littel china. I guess you will have to, sed Fa. it mite set a bad exampel to Hobbie. He will watch this woman work & then he will go out & be borrowing marbles & fishlincs from the other boys. Gee, sed Pa, but didn't she taik yure brcth away? Then Pa got up and locked the door and put the key in his pocket and becgan to read his book about Human Kindness. Jungle Betrothal In Swell Style A second beating of tomtoms thun dered through the barrio. The bride was coming 1 Down an avenue made for her by women of the tribe slowly crept the tiny figure. It was draped in the softest eastern Stuffs; jeweled anklets and bangles tinkled merrily. A gauzy veil of wondrous workman ship swathed the figure, but through it Piang recognized his beloved Fan- ita. Slowly she approachc; fearfully she raised her eyes to the man who awaited her. Her little feet faltered and Papita leaned heavily against the woman who supported her. Cut at that moment Piang gave a strange whistle, three soft notes of a mina bird floated over the barrio, and Papita became suddenly alive. Again the notes stole through the jungle. The bride threw back her veil. "The ui.willing maid seems to have forgotten her woe." said one scorn ful woman to another. The nricstcss commenced the cere mony that was to last all night. It was filled with weird chants, to which Papita responded with renewed vigor. But her eyes furtively glanced to ward a spot near the curve of the creek where a slender reed stayed unceasingly. After several hours the priestess led the way to the water and Ynoch placed Papita in her gila vinta and pushed her out into the stream. Jle got into another and the two boats nosed each other while the crowd showered them with oils and perfumes. When the command came to part the boats shot off in opposite directions. A maiden and a bride groom are each supposed to medi tate, in oriental fashion, on the ad visability of the union before the fi nal ceremony; so read the Dyak mir riage laws. Florence Partello Stuart in St. Nicholas. Anna Held to Help in Recruiting Work Here Anna Held is also doing her bit. She has been assisting in recruiting along her route, and has made ar ranrements with Major Frith to help in Omaha. Friday at noon she will address a meeting at Sixteenth and Harney streets. Miss Held is intensely patriotic, and now that the United States has entered the war alongside her beloved La Belle Francais, she is most enthus iastic in promoting the work.
