To Golden Wedding of Mr.
And Mrs. G. F. Sawyer.
Western, Neb., Nov. 6. (Special.)
' Following the same path that had
been used by George, F. Sawyer a
half century before, when the latter,
a penniless cripple, almost starved
had returned to his home here ifoot.
after a fruitless quest for work at
Lincoln, an airship bore from the
qpitaf city, the congratulations and
felicitations of the banks of Lincoln
to Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer on their
golden wedding.
Friday was the anniversary of the
event and busmess was suspended
in Western and the township in
honor of Mr. and Mrs.. Sawyer. Over
a thousand guests from all parts of
th? state were present to help cele
brate. Some .of them came in old
fashioned lumber wagons with board
scats, others in buggies of ancient
vintage, others ,in automobiles of
democratic and .aristocratic make,
sqmc on trains, and a few on airships.
Gala Day in Western.
It was the biggest day that has
occurred jn that thrifty Saline coun
ty towIT in many yjars. 1 I
The opera holse was jammed with
people and hundreds were com
pelled to remain outside on the
streets. A free moving picture show,
featuring married life, was given and
between the scenes were inter
spersed old-time songs and reminis
cent talks. ' ,
George F. Sawyer, president of the
Saline State bank, and former presi
dent of the Nebraska State Bilkers'
association, told of his experiences
in a pioneer day, and the hardships
and struggles that he and his
Quaker bride had to undergo in es
tablishing a home.
A daughter, Mrs. A. J. Storms of
Auburn, sang the favorite songs of
her parents, "When You and I Were
Young, MaggieV-and "Fiddle and I."
W. C. Hughes, secretary of the Ne
braska State Bankers' association,
made a speech of felicitation, and
former Attorney Genera! George W.
Hastings of Crete, a life-long friend
of Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer, eulogized
them and the usefulness and success
of their live"s, and related many
touching incidents of early day hard
ships. Airplane From Lincoln.
There were several persons in the
audience who had been pupils of
Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer when the lat
ter taught schools in Saline county
SO years ago. Every member of the
Sawyer family and all of'.the grand
children weVe at the gathering. Dur
ing the program an airship landed in
the town, and the aviators bore to
the hall, where the celebration took
place, the greetings and felicitations
of the First National bank of Lin
coln. Charles F. Brinkman, assist
ant cashier, represented the United
States National bank of Omaha. All
of the bankers of Saline county and
.many from Jefferson and Gage coun-.

and make the powers of nature serve''
us," said Miss Kate Mcllugh, speak-
ing before the Omaha Dram league '
Saturday afternoon at the Fontenelle
hotel. "But the question is, what
are we doing wiUj the time saved?"
Miss McHuglim honorary presi
dent of the Drama league and her t
Saturday lecture was the only num- '
ber she will give before the organiza-.
tion this year. Mrs. E. M. SyfertA
president, presented Miss McHugli. .
A handsome basket bouquet of pink, . ,.
yellow and white 'button chrysan-
themums adorned the speaker's table
and were presented to her at the
close of the lecture.
"Caliban" Discussed."
"Caliban in Ertglish Literature" was
the subject of the lecture. Caliban,
symbolizing the material, whether ,
found in the primitive or u the mod-' ' .
ern man, has been presented in lit- "
erature in the purelrama, the dram- -
a.:c tn'jiiologas in masque tbrin and
through the novel. "Shakespeare1 in
The Tempest gave us the first Cali
ban," said Miss McHugli. The char- -actersj
Trospero and Caliban are in
terwoven in the Shakesperian drama,
Prospcro symbolizing the spiritual ' !.
or higher nature and Caliban the ma-
terial. v
Browning turned to this symbolic "
character to show the growth ol '
religious faith in primitive man. "'
Percy Mackaye used the type to em- 1
phasize the part played by the drama ;
iu the development of the race.
Too Much "Up-to-Dateness." '
"Caliban," a novel by W. L.
George who will lecture' in Omaha
next Thursady, gave Mus-McHugh - ' j
opportunity to briefly review the"
book, which she did to the delight
of her audience. Bulmer, the cen-"1--. 1
tral figure, was interested in life, not v;
life's meaning, according to th
speaker. "The significance of lift IS
did not interest him." ,
In summing up, the lecturer in- .
dicated thatuhere is-too much "Cal
iban" inonldern -life. "We want '
money chicly for things that art ;, -phytical.
In the world today, tht '
greatest minds are bent on thing! '' (
material,1 such as houses, automo-.
biles, greater speed and development
of all the forces of nature. 'What
are we reading? The clasfics can
almost be defined as something ev
erybody praises but ndbody reads.
h.ven our schools are being up-to-
date. 7 Economics and scientific ub-';':-
jects are crowding out literature, ind .
literature classes are taking Up the .I
modern writers. We need more of c
Prospero to release from-Caliban.".
Love Triumphs Over
Nunnery in Case of .
Girl Who Is in Convent
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 6. Love
has triumphed over renunciation in
the case of Miss Marion M. Wood,
daughter of Edwin Randolph Wood,
candidate for president in -the Sep
tember primaries.
After having decided to renounce ,
the world and seek solitude in a nun-
nery Miss Wood abandoned this in
tention after three days in a '.con- -vent
in Jamacia. She admitted to
Jhc mother superior that en route--,
to her retreat fhe lost her heart to: .
a dashing Cuban and in conse
quence desired to return- to the gay
world she had left behind.
The man whose captivating man
ners had caused the Philadelphia -'
heiress to forget her vows of re
nunciation is Marcel Diaz, an elec
trician, who follows the sea for -7
living. Miss Wood says she met
Diaz in Santiago, Cuba, when she
left the steamship Tiveves to tour
the city. -
Becoming lost in Santiago, the be- ,
wildered girl approached a stranger
there and asked to be directed to her "
hotel. The man appealed to, says- "
Miss Wood, was of a dark velvet.,
skin and handsome. He displayed
such courtesy and seemed so inter
ested 'in her predicament, that she .
readily accepted his invitation . to
view the sights of the city in a mo- t,
t;r car. -During the ride, Miss' 1 v
Wood avers, she lost her heart com-.l;' f 1
pletely to the gentlemanly and soft- . - :
spiaking Cuban. , - .. ; a
