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.

To Pay His Hotel Bill
Louis Schneider, traveling show
man, who preferred white slave
charges againt one of his co-workers,
was forced this morning to pay a
hotel bill in police court. Following

expensive transaction, especially as
the government confiscated the
whisky besides.

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.
Girls, Here is a Fine List;
You Can Take Your Choice
Six lonesome soldier boys in the
Hawaiian Islands long for a message
from the gentler sex in the United
States. "We want girls, not to fight
but to write," says their letter to The
Bee. Their names would indicae that
all have kissed the blarney stone and
some interesting letters should come
back from the land of the hula-hula
dancer. 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

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.

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

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

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

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.
