THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 17; 1917. H By MELLlFlClA-OcL 16, Mr. Borglum Sentenced for, Life. A slacker in our midst! Yes, and I even more, for the harsh name of "deserter" has been applied to one of our citizens. "And who can he be?" None other than August Mothe Borg lum, a leading Omaha musician. At a meeting of the well known Clef club . Monday nigHt Mr. Borg lum was -tried by an exemption board, is he had been heard to say that he was thinking of leaving the club. The board, which was ' composed of Messrs. J. H. Simms, Martin Bush, Cecil Berryman and Jean Duffield, listened gravely and attentively to all testimony in this most serious ease, and, after long deliberation, decided that for such a misdemeanor the most severe sentence possible should be in flicted, and consequently the offender was given a hie term in the Chat club.f Thi3 little society, which is com posed of those engaged in musical pursuits, has a reputation for the original programs which are always a part of its meetings. Much time and thought is given to the prepara tion of them, and consequently it is numbered among the most "worth while" clubs in Omaha. Another amusing number given last night after the dinner at the Loyal hotel was a paper written by lean Duffield, which described the different yjays a musician would spend his va cations in certain parts of the globe. Martin Bush was supposed to be stranded in the north pole region with nothing but a box of matches and a cake of soap; Mrs. Douglas B. Welp ton in the South Sea islands with nothing to shelter her but a banana tree and none with whom to talk but Ja chattering monkey. If your imagination is elastic enough, you can imagine how humorous Mr. Duffield's descriptions were.

I We mortals are a weak, unchari table lot I Without thinking that most of iss are like all the rest of us, we criticise, condemn and cen sure the other person. There aje good laughs coming to all of us and they are on ourselves. Didn't think it possible, did wel Never occurred to us that we might be as freakish as our neigh bor! Ah, me! What different people we find operating within, or through these physical bodies, when we turn the X-ray of analysis on our own characters. We say: "She is narrow and doesn't give the other person a square deall" No, she doesn't. Neither do we. We comment on her ridiculous clothes. Perhaps we haven't looked carefully at our own. She is peevish? Yes. I know, but are we? Never thought of that., did we?. "That woman acts like a fool. She handles her troubles in the bungliest sort of a manner. I should certainly decide on one thing or an other and then stand pat," we find ourselves saying about the woman, who, perhaps, has more to bear than we could stand. But, have we been in that woman's position? Have we thought that perhaps her life is differently ordered than ours, by a Cosmic law? Have we considered for one mo ment that the woman in question is human and has a heart, human emo tions, sentiment and a dozen other things to contend with? It is so easy to turn against one in trouble. And so inhuman It is so natural to be uncharitable with the ways of other folks. We find ourselves condescending ly forgiving them for interferine with our "dispositions," but seldom do we stop to think that, perhaps, they have much to forgive in us. , Let us try, for a change, the char itable trail. Let us try to believe in the other person as a "regular person" with more good traits than bad ones. Let us try being a real friend to one person try to see that that person is fighting the same battle in life that we are (perhaps with different weapons, but fighting just the same) for existence, love and happiness. No matter what she does, just say to yourself and others: "That is her job to work out and she is doing the best she can. I am with her in the fight." Make one real friend and it will help change the entire character. It will mean the introduction to a bet ter life Gdited bt Irma Df.

She is survived ty two oaugnters, Washington, Oct 16. Snakes are a valuable asset and there should be a campaign against killing them, writes Gayne T. K. Nortor. in the current issue of the American Forestry magazine. The article goes on, to show what the snake does for food conservation by way of killing rodents and insects, the greatest ene mies to grain that man knows. The oubhc has become acquainted with snakes as never, before, writes Mr. Norton, because of the thousands who have been engaged in the cam oaien for war gardens that has been conducted by the National Emer gency Food Garden commission. ine plea tor tne snaices is il lustrated with pictures of Miss Gladys Ditmars, daughter of Ray mond L. Ditmars, curator of the New York Zoological society, fondling a king snake, Allen Samuel Williams, founder of the reptile study society and George Von Buehren of New York city who has one of the best private collections of snakes in the world. . Snake HuntingClub. , The work of the Ditmars club of Newark, N. J., whose members go snake hunting is recited in detail "With this summer the millions ot war gardens have given the snake popular interest a news angle edi tors must consider,"-writes Mr. Nor ton. "Thf gardens brought outdocrs many who ordinarily would not step from paving blocks. Tremendously increased tillage has brought people and snakes together. Reptiles may not manliest friend ship toward us, few would welcome such a condition, yet they are not enemies. They never atttack unless in self-defense. Of our 111 species but seventeen are, poisonous two species of Elaps, coral snakes, and fifteen species of Crotaline snakes, the copperhead and moccasin, and the dwarf and' typical rattlesnakes. On the other hand the help they render is valuable. The pests destroyed each year, especially the, rodents that in jure crops and carry communicable diseases, roll up a large balance of good service in their favor. Snakes vs. Rodents.' "Rodents are destroyers of farm products, cause loss by fire through gnawing matches and insulation from electric wires and of human, life, through germ carrying, particularly the bubonic plague. Before the war the United States Department of Agriculture placed the bill at $500, 000,000; one-fifth of which equals the loss of grain. With advanced prices this is increase'. "They also destroy eggs, young poultry, s-quabs and pigeons, birds and young rabbits, pigs and lambs. A loss to husbandry not estimated in figures but realized as extensive is due to the killing of fruit trees by girdling or o.her injuries to the bark by species, of wild rodents. Eminent medical authorities agree that .many plagues can be accounted for by rodents. As a destructive agency the rodents have no rival. "The gross ignorance regarding our snakes causes slaughter of all things that wear scales and crawl. Farmers should protect and breed the j harmless snakes rather than kill them. Many; European Countries have protective legislation." Little Bobbie's Pa By WILLIAM F. KIRK. "Such an array of victories gives I was reeding a story last nite about a man that worked up from a office boy to be the president of a big house, sed Ma. I do hoap littel Bobbie will show sum traits like that. He will if he takes after me, sed Pa. I started at the bottom, you know, I attry-but my rise to Sheer Pluck, sed Pa, & Sobryty. What? sed Ma.

I would say, tho, sed Ma, that you have come to the front not on account of yure habits, but rather in spite of them, sed Ma.

Poor littel thing, sed Pa, it is jest dying to be spent. We are going to have a fine Chrismus this year. I wish all the boys & girls cud have a Pa like mine. But Pa seys that is a hope less wish. Store Beans and Peas Keep beans for winter use by pick ing the pods as soon as they are ma ture and spreading them in a warm, dry place, such as an attic floor, until the beans are thoroughly dry. Then shell and store in bags hung in a dry, well ventilated place until needed. Allow navy and other bush beans to mature on the vines until a maxi imum number of pods are ripe, then pull the whole plant and cure it .like hay. After thorough drying, thresh the beans and store as suggested above. Peas may be treated like bush beans and stored in the same manner. Quiet Tips Equal parts of paraffin and vinegar make a good polish for the case of a piano, and the keys can be cleaned by wiping them with milk. 1 A solution of Epsom salts is a good remedy for burns. Apply as soon as possible, and keep wet continually un til the pain ceases. The smell of tobacco from the evening pipe and cigars will have dis appeared by the morning if a large bowl of water is put in the room over night Before frying bacon put the rash ers into boiling water for two or three minutes; all chance is thus re moved of their being too salt To preserve parsley do not keep it in water, but shut it in an airtight tin which stands in a cool place. Do you know that if you wrap let tuce, romaine or celery in a clean piece of muslin, wrung out of cold water, and wet it the muslin again every day, you may keep that lettuce or romaine or celery fresh and crisp for several days'-some housekeepers even say a week. To keep spoons and forks bright after washiag them, put them to stand a minute or two in a jugful of hot, soapy water with a dash of am monia in it. If you place a silver spoon in a glass dish, you may pour hot stewed fruit into it, without breaking th glass or even cracking it? If it is a good-sized dish use a large spoon. .

As the guests remove their wraps, a hidden voice should chant in a wailing voice: "This is the room where I died seven years ago. These groans proceed from my ancestors, who cannot rest in their graves because I have returned to earth to spend Halloween." If the guests are masked and sheeted, they may be introduced to each other as the ghosts of famous people, or the ghosts of friends of famous people. Ah interesting way of choosing partners for refreshments is to crack walnuts carefully, remove the nut and put in its place some kind of seed, for instance a bean, a pea, nas turtium seed, etc. The nut shells are then glued together, there being but two seeds of each kind. The nut shells are placed in two boxes, one of each kind in a frox. The girls choose nuts from one box, the men from the other, then match up contents for partners. A different idea than the partner one is to have several seed contents of one kind, then all draw ing the same kind gather into a fam ily circle for refreshments. Halloween Customs. Our Halloween charms' are very old, indeed, and no one of the sug gestions below claims any merit of newness. In fact Halloween is one of the times when we honor tradi tion above novelty. Some of our charms date back to the seventeenth century, as, for example, the wood and water charm. That is "to go to bed on Halloween with a glass of water, in which a small sliver of wood has been placed, standing on a table by your bedside. In the night you will dream of falling from a bridge into a river, and of being res cued by your future wife or husband, whom you will see as distinctly as though .. viewed with waking eyes. Nearly alfof the charms have to def with the choice of a life partner, though a few have lost their forecast inn, o-.i;tir and have heenme nure fun. The practice of bobbing for ap ples was formerly rnade more excit ir hw mttinor an initial- in the skin of the apple toward the bottom where it would not be seen. . , , TV,, familiar annle Stunts include bobbing for apples in a tub of water, with the hands tied behind one's back; eating apples suspended by strings ithout the aid of hands); snapping the apple that is about to be eaten and naming it after a person of the opposite sex, seeds it contains. according to the old rhyme, "One I love, Two I love, inree i love tne same, Four I love with all my heart, Five I cast awayfSix he loves, Seven she loves, Eight they both love; Nine he comes, Ten ne tarries, cieven rt Twelve, he marries." If you are not satisfied with the above apple seed fortune, take two apple seeds, wet tnem ano suck tnem on the forehead. Name the seeds, then the one which falls off first shows that the person for whom it is named is not constant. The walnut boat charm is always excitine- Fasten a small niece of candle into a half walnut. Give each person a walnut boat lighted, then float the boats on the sea of life, alias a tnh nf water The attractions om4 faithfnlnaca of the "Hifferent neo- aiiu tuiiniuiii" v. ........ r t pie can be gauged by the actions of the boats, and the length ot lite can De guessed by the time the candles burn. If the guests wish to know their common fate still further, give each one a greased needle, then float the needles in a basin ot water. Those needles that will cling togther rep resent steadfast friends, the adventur ous needles will take long voyages, the timid needles will cling to the sides of the basin, etc. To settle the question of questions use three bowl test. Place three bowls on a table, one bowl is empty, one contains soapy water, and one clear water. Blindfold the guests one at a time, ieaa tne person to tne taoie and tell him to put a finger into I one bowl. The empty bowl repre sents single blessedness; the bowl containing soapy water indicates marriage 'with a widow or widower, the clear water bowl indicates mar riage with a young and handsome in dividual. The popcorn charm fore tells the future to a certain extent. Four or six people (depending on the j fire available) are given poppers, each containing twenty-five grains of popcorn. At a given signal, the pop pers are put over the fire. The per son in whose popper the first grain of corn pops will be the first one to become engaged. The persons whose popper shows -tHe most unpopped grains at the end of a given time will never marry or will do so late in life. ' , i (Friday Halloween decorations and 1 Cll CSUM1C1I13. Save the Irish Potato Save late Irish potatoes by storing them in a room in the cellar, or in an outdoor storage bank or pit ' When stored in cellars the potatoes may be put into barre.s, boxes, bas kets, crates, bins, or on the floor, but must be protected from the lifjht. Select a well dnined location, make a shallow excava'ion about six inches deep, line it with straw, hay, leaves, or similar material, and place the potatoes in a conical pile on the lining. Make the bot om of the pile about the same size as, but not larger than the bottom of the excavation. Cover the poutoes with the same material as that used for lining the bottom of the pit and carry it up sev eral inches above the apex of the pile oK vegetables, having it extend through the dirt coveri.-g. This serves as a ventilating flue; and it should be covered with a pie-e of tin or a short board as a protection from rain. Dirt Covering. The dirt covering sl.ould be two or three1 inches thick when the vege tables are stored, and it should be in creased as severely c ld weather ap proaches unti' it is foot, or, more in thickness, or sufficiei.tt to, protect from freezing. " In finishing the pit the dirt shoui.1 be firmed with the back Of the shovel in order to make it as nearly wierproot as possible.
