everybody takes thought ; of the
Uiings to be thankful for.

wintry weather made the average
home more cheerful, and the mem

had been prepared with extra care.

GEN. PERSHING TO
BE GIVEN .GREAT
RECEPTION HERE
Plans Wili Be Completed at
Once for Gala
Day. '
. ' i
Plans for a gigantic reception for
General Pershing, who will visit
Omaha shortly after Christmas, will
be completed at once, according to
W. A. Ellis, assistant commissioner
of the Chamber of Commerce.
"The visit of the great general will
be a real gala day for Omaha and
Nebraska," said Mr. Ellis, "for we
have always claimed General Persh
ing as a Nebraska man. We have
been informed that he avoids for
mality whenever possible, so we will
make the reception one big public
celebration.. ' '
"The metropolis of Nebraska,
Pershing's own state, is not to be
outdone by any other city in the
country, vve will nrobaDiv nave
soldiers from Fort Crook and Oma
ha aid in the reception; every band
in town will be asked to turn out,
and the whole reception will be a
spontaneous outburst of gratitude
a reception General Pershing will
remember.
An attempt to bring General
Pershing to Omaha shortly after his
arrival, in the United -States was
made by the Chamber of Com
merce. . Cablegrams inviting him to
the city were sent him hi Paris and
London. Ak-Sar-Ben also made ef
forts to secure the general's pres
ence during the fall festival, and had
representatives in New York when
he landed to urge him to come. The
general was forced to go to Wash
ington immediately on his . arrival,
however.

One man who came from Fremont

home, yesterday morning anjd asked
him to issu-a license to wed., Mr.
Stubbendorf 'came down to the of
fice and wrote the desired paper.
The marriage license output for
l;:st Tuesday was 22: also a very
high record. This makes 60 licenses
for the two days immediately pre
ceding Thanksgiving day?
My Heart and My Husband
ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of
'.. "Revelations of a Wife" -
The Sound That Broke and Scat
( tered Madge's Fancy.
. Mrs. Durkee. must have reported
to Major Granfland that the roses
he had sent me were fading, for in
fne atternoon following her com
ment upon our neglect of them a
box of fresh blossoms arrived.
I glanced nervously at Lillian
when they came in. but her face
was non-committal, and she opened
the box, handed me the card it con
tained, and put the roses in vases
and bowls with but a single com
ment:
"Roses, nothing but roses," she
said. They must be the man s fa
vorite flower." ;
I wondered if it were only v my
fancy or if there were a suspicion
of a sneer in her voice. I began
hurriedly to scrutinize the card
which had accompanied the flow
ers. "I am anxiously awaiting the day
when I can express to you in per
son the sorrow I feel at having
caused you such suffering. In the
interim please let the roses convey
that message to you. "II. G."
' - I laid the card down upon the
coverlet' of my bed with a queer
fantasy taking possession of me, the
conviction that the roses were not
only delivering the message he men
tioned, but another.
"Lillian," I said a bit sharply, "do
you notioe a fragrance like wild
roses in here?"
She looked at me shrewdly, then
sniffed the air critically. .
"Your imagination is certainly
working overtime," she smiled.
"There is no such scent here. I
wish there were. The fragrance of
wild roses is stimulating, while
these things are almost like tube
roses, their odor is so overpower
ing" 1 closed my eyes in unreasoning
protest. For the fragrance of wild
rrses was so real a thing to me
that it brought before me a memory
I thought I had buried deep, a mem
ory which brought the hot blood
to my cheeks as it swept over me.
Again I: was walking with Major
Gtantland at midnight along the
pipe line connecting Marvin with
the -next village, compelled to the
bizarre expedition and his escort by
the danger with which Grace Draper
and her associates had surrounded
me. ' Again the. scent of wild roses
wet with dew swirled round my
senses, and the memory of the
romantic emotion which had swayed
me upon that night I had ever since
wished to forget came back to me
with poignant regret
Not that I had any tangible thing,
a 'CJiress, yeveu an inadvertent word
vith wlrft'h to burden the conscience
which Dicky so ' often ridicules as
"Puritan." But my soul knew that
in that hour my love for my hus
band, my loyalty to him had been
momentarily obscured by the
romantic, dashing personality of the
man with whom I had shared such
dramatic peril, the man who had
saved me from grave danger, per,
haps death, and whose service to his
country was at that time, as I so
erroneously supposed, in such con
trast to my husband's apparently
pusillanimous behavior.
The terrible emotional strain
which had followel ray discovery of
Dicky's flying commission at the
very moment he came crashing to
earth injiis machine, had caused al
most a revulsion of feeling against
Major Grantland in me, a feeling
unjust and unreasoning. His reap
pearance, blind and helpless, had
changed that feeling to a deep com
passion in wnicn mere was no tinge
of the schoolgirlish romance with
which I had endowed him. But now
he had come back into my life,
strong, fully restored to sight, the
same mysterious, romantic person
ality which had first intrigued my
imagination. And I would have
been lacking in the most common
feminine trait if I had not contrasted
the constant remorseful attention
with which he "was surrounding me
to' Dicky's apparent carelessness.
"Time to wash your face, Madge."
The careless, matter-of-fact words
brought me back to reality with a
most unromantic jerk. I opened mjn
eyes -to see Lillian smiling down at
me, not quizzically, for so shrewd
a reader of brain processes must
have seen that I was in no mood
for comment, earnest or jocular.
But I shrewdly suspected that she
had deliberately introduced the
homely little rite at just this moment.
The Surest Antidote.
"We must fix vou ud. prettily be
cause a certain very distinguished
and insistent visitor is waiting im
patiently to see you.
For a moment I wondered wildly
if Major Grantland hadvasked per
mission to see me before I was con
valescent. Then, as Lillian arranged
my hair, I heard outside the door a
little voice just perfecting the first
word he had learned to speak, and
proclaiming it everywhere in insist
ent baby fashion. .
"Marrr-ma! Mam-mall
The fancied fragrance of wild
roses vanished as my v small son
came toddling into the room with
Katie guiding his footsteps. As Lil
lian lifted him to niy side and I
buried my face in the baby fresh
ness of his neck and hair I knew
NEWSIES GIVEN
GREAT TREAT. AT
WOODROW CAFES
Bee Street Salesmen Entertained
:' By Proprietor "Dick"
Hassel.
"The Bee newsies" were given a
fine treat at a big Thanksgiving
dinner at the Woodrow Cafes, No. I
and 2, 214-216 South Fourteenth
street and 1811 Farnam street. The
feast was given to the Bee news
boys .by John "Dick" Hassel, pro
prietor. There were "eats" aplenty, of
turkey, cranberrie sauce and every
thing. All had their stomachs well
filled before the proceedings were
half over. -
"Stop or I -wont be able to sell
my Bees this evening1 exclaimed
John Monico, the oldest newsboy in
Omaha, who can be found .selling
Bees at the southwest corner of
Sixteenth and Farjiam streets. This
was the sentiment of all the boys.
Tudee T. S. Coolev heloed thines
along by leading the boysfrom the
Bee building to the cafe. Before
starting, the judge gave an im
pressive' speech before the boys,
telling them that they were working
for one of the greatest newspapers
in the country and as such it was
their duty to be honest in selling.
The boys were in charge of Harry
Graceman, chief circulator of -The
Omaha Be'e, assisted by Harry
Markel and Paul Titsworth. Harry
Graceman and John "Dick" Hassel
wilt long be remembered by the
newsies of Omaha, because it was
due to their efforts that they were
able to spend, a - happy Thanksgiv
