After 1.500 "kiddies" had been served generously- with sweetmeats, , there were 450 packages left, but Charles Franle and Joe Mc Donald quickly evolved a way to dis tribute the surplus, where tt would do the most good. Other little chil dren in the city were not fortunate enough to share in the fun at (the Muny Christmas tree, and the two champions made it their business to see that the unfortunate ones shared in the goodies. From 9 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon on Christ mas day, the two men were busily Schafer Was First American Officer Over the Top in France (By Anaorlated Pre.) Chicago, Dec. 26. Lieutenant Walter B. Schafer, former halfback on the University of Chicago joot ball team, claims to have been the first American officer to go over the top into No Man's Land, under a bar rage of French gunners, according to a letter exhibited today by Schafer's fraternity brothers at the Midway school. . Schafer in his letter told of the manner in which the small body of American troops crept out in the night under a peppering of bullets, to cut away the barbed wire entanglements in order that a heavy assault might be made the following day. "It was a dark night when we were sold in the trenches that it was tune for our start," said Schafer. "Just as we were making final prepara tions a French officer came running from an outpost, yelling: , - "'Guess, guess.' ' " '111 bite. I'll guess your right hand,' said one of my men, who looked at his clenched fist. " 'Non, non, guest masks," shouted the Frenchman as he seued his safety helmet. , "We had just time to put on our gas masks before the danger came, and if we had kidded him much longer there might have been sad results. We went out into No Man's Land and I know that I was the first Ameri ca ofheer to go over the top for Uncle Sam."

In a heart-breaking tone of voice he will verily that the good times of yore are no more. "Don't you remember how, on Christmas days, we would get out our punch bowl, make a nice, smooth drink and invite in a bunch of old cronies to help us drink it up?" interrogated a member.- "Ah, those were the good old days the good old days before Nebraska went 'dry.' But there's nothing like that now. Nay, nay, little one; never again will we partake of the combination, 'Tom and Jerry,' never again will we gather around the old punch bowl and imbibe freely of a harmless punch with a mild 'kick' in it; never again will we be a guest of CHRISTIE HEADS REAL ESTATE BOARD Annual Election of Officers Fills Four Places for the Ensuing Year. Harry M. Christie of the firm of W. Farnam Smith was elected president of the Omaha Real Estate board for the ensuing year. j. M. McFarland was made vice president; G. G.

To bacco is a necessity, not a luxury, de clares Lord Rhondda. the food con troller, in a statement published here. "We must have tobacco," he says. "I believe that its loss would be a na tional misfortune. It means much both to the manual laborer and to him who works with his brains. Men would eat a great deal more if they did not have tobacco. I hold that the deprivation of it would work great discomfort." Some system of "rationing" tobac co, however, is forecasted by the newspapers. Dr. E. C. Henry Operated Upon for Appendicitis Docto.- E. C. Henry, 554 South Thirty-fifth avenue, was operated upon Monday night at 8 o'clock in the Lord Lister hospital following a sudden attack of appendicitis.

Johnny Till man, the Minneapolis lightweight, won the popular decision over Irish Fatsy Cline of New York in a fast six round bout here today. Tillman had the better of every round except the first, which was even. engaged in disposing of the surplus. This is the way they worked it: One hundred .and fifty packages were taken to the St. James' Orphanage in Benson, 50 packages were given to the little shavers in the Child Saving Institute, 40 to the Creche, 40 'to the Detention Home, and a number to the Christ Child Mission, Ninth and Pierce streets. Miss Magee's Mission and the City Mission. , After visiting these institutions they still had packages left, so they made the rounds of the riverfront and distributed the balance. At the different institutions they were entertained by the children, who sang songs and spoke pretty pieces. atjM.iWVW'iMw - v,. 4 AitfTOif t" Bowls Where Once He id Forth some friend at the Omaha club on Christmas day and stow away mug after mug and join in the chorus when iWt gang sings, 'Cheer, cheer, the gang's all. here!' " Times have changed in the old town, and the club members and their guests were treated to an unlimited supply of sweet cider and popcorn to take the place of the real thing on Christmas. The substitution of "some thing just as good" didn't make much of a hit with the boys, but they "kidded" themselves into believing that they were having a swell time even though they did have to stretch their imaginations to the danger pdint 4-but they consoled themselves with the thought that the hardest time is past. Next year it will come easier to go without their favorite punch. Leader of Italy's Army In Hour of Peril mmmmmmmmmsmmm, General Armando Diaz, who suc ceeded General Cadorna as commander-in-chief of the Italian armies. Gen eral Diaz was born in Naples in De cember, 1861, and at the age of 55 has bjeen placed in command of the army in the most critical moment in the his tory of the Italian nation. He was the most victorious general on the Carso front and has so far never failed in any undertaking during the war. Bearded Warriors Revive Reverence for Whiskers The biting cold in the trenches be fore Scbastopol discouraged shaving and the result was the setting of a fashion in Europe. The returned sol dier "bearded like the pard," retain ing his distinctive mark as a veteran while allowing his "eye to rove among the girls proved , so much more pop ular than the sleek civilian that clerk and clubman laid aside the razor, and waited for whiskers in the spirit m which a farmer prays for rain. The London Chronicle says that beards are to become fashionable again. Soldiers back from the Euro pean battle fronts, where arrange ments for shaving arenot always of the best and where the cold in win ter is intense, are displaying fine growths of beard which are admired because they depend from the chins of the brave, awakening in women the admiration for valor that is one of the most inspirmg attributes of the sex. It is 'predicted by our Lon don contemporary that the consplc uousness of the popular returned warrior with the flowing beard will force the civilian to seek more or less consoling inconspicuousness behind the largest and most luxuriant home grown beard the fertility of his face will produce. , ' . U For many years after our war of the '60s, in the south particularly, the full . beard was modish. Nowadays few young men. in town or country, wear beards. It js more sanitary, everyone - says, to be clean shaven than to go bearded, but a bare chin cannot be maintained however easily defended by science if the soldiers return with beards half way to their waists. The young man" who does not go to war and the more or less middle-aged man as well is going to feci lonesome when Johnny comes marching home. He will not wish to be conspicuous in addition. He will want to hide his embarrassment as securely as possible behind a merci ful growth of whiskers. Louisville Courier-Journal.

Camp Funston, Kan., Dec. 16. Four hundred army mules in a stam pede provided an extra event on the 'Christmas program' for the national army troops here this afternoon and forced a change. in the plans for dis tributing the gifts to the soldiers. The trouble came during the stag ing of a frontier event in which the wagon train was attacked by Indians and defended by soldiers and cow boys but the details of which were not clear to the mules of the long wagon train. When the Indians "attacked" and the soldiers and cow boys answered with volleys, every mule lunged toward the center, edging into a mass of struggling animals tangled harness and upstt wagons that the solcNers were hours untangl ing. Military lines had been formed for the reception of the presents, but the excitement was too much for the men who broke ranks to aid a badly disor ganized wagon train. Uncanny Reach of Giant Spider of Ceylon Our common house spider -is the dread of the housemaid and death to the unwary fly, but otherwise seems to be a harmless insect. Its bite is poisonous, but cases are rare where it has been fatal in temperate climates. As we approach the equator, however we find that spiders, like all insects and reptiles, become more venomous as well as increase in size. Far up in the mountains of Ceylon and India there is a spider that spins a web like bright, yellowish silk, the central net of which is five feet in di ameter, while the supporting lines, or guys, aSL they are called, measure sometimes ten or twelve feet long; and riding quickly in the early morn ing you may dash right into it, the stout , threads twining around your face like a lace veil, while, as the crea ture who has woven its takes up his position in the middle, he generally catches you right on the nose, and, though "he seldom bites or stings, the contact of his large body and long legs is anything but pleasant. If you forget yourself and try to catch him, bite he will, and, although not venom ous, his jaws are as powerful as a birds beak and you will not forget the encounter. The bodies of these spiders are very handsomely decotated, being bright gold or scarlet underneath, while the upper part is covered with the most delicate slate-colored fur. So - strong are the webs that birds the size of larks are frequently caught therein, and even the small but powerful scaly lizard falls a victim. A writer says that he has often sat and watched the yellow and scarlet monster measuring, when waiting for his prey jtvith his legs stretched out fully six inches striding across the middle of the net, and noted the rapid manner ia which he winds his stout threads around the unfortunate captive. He usually throws the coils about the head till the wretched vic tim is first blinded and then choked. In many unfrequented and dark nooks of the jungle you may come across most perfect skeletons of small birds caught in these terrible snares, the strong folds of which prevent the delicate bones from falling to the ground after the wind and weather have dispersed the flesh and feathers from the body. St. Louis Globe Democrat. Eucken Wants German University in America (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Amsterdam, Aug. 1.
