Autumn a show of the Western Art
Association Formally Commenced.
The opening night Of the Western Art as
sociation exhibition drew several hundred
people, and all were highly pleased with the
variety and character of the work on exhibit
ton.
Many of the visitors last night were prom
inent and cultured people of the city whose
patronage would be a credit to any enter
prise.
The great Munkacsy painting proved to be
a very attractive feature of the exhibition.
The display of decorated china was es-
pecially admired. 1t is beyond question the
most magnificent exhibition of the kind ever
seen in Omaha. In the gallery the visitors
found much of interest in the line of curios,
war relics and in the artistic work of the
Western Art association.
Special invitations had been sent out to all
the exhibitors, making the opening last night
an occasion especially interesting to them. A

Apache Soldiers au Tort Whipple,
Ariz., Indulge too Freely.
PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 17.-United States
troops stationed at Whipple barracks were
paid off two days ago. Among those
stationed here Is one company of Apache
Indians and the fact OF their being clothed in
the uniform of the United States seems to
enable them to secure all they want to
drink. The result has been that dur
ing the past two nights there
have been numerous fights. At one
time it seemed as if serious trouble would
occur, as the Indians broke for their rms and
ammunition ana were only prevented with
difficulty from obtaining them.
During the fight one white soldier had one
of his legs broken and several Apache sol
diers were more or less hurt. Several
Apaches a. In the guardhouse and nearly
as many mere .Apaches and white soldiers
are in the hos pltal. The order transferring
this company from Whlpple about the Goth
of this month gives much satisfaction to

promised him for his trouble. Just as
the train was about to start, that boy
came rushing up to the carriage in
which the now impatient actor was
seated, and holding out threepence, ex-
claimed with mouth half-full: " Here's
your change, sir" Bother the
change; where's the cake?" roared the
hungry Thespian. "They had only
one left" replied the boy, 4" and Pm

The Value of Minutes.

A party of ladies and gentlemen
were shown through large carpet es-
adjustment in Broadway, a few days
ago. They were permitted to look into
every nook and corner of the building
except one. At the bottom of the
stairway leading to the top floor they
came upon a closed door, upon which
were the words Positively no admit
lance" The curiosity of the ladies
was awakened at once. "What is up
there?" inquired one, eagerly. "That
is our Workshop" explained the repre-
sentative of the firm. We have $50
women on that floor sewing carpets"
ooh, l should so like to see them al
work." said the fair questioner, with a
notwithstanding look. am
sorry that l cannot take you up there, y
replied The firms representative, but
the rules are very strict. Really, there
is nothing worth looking at, and there
are no trade secrets there. The reason
why the firm interdicts visitors is be-
cause the presence of strangers in the
room causes every sewing woman to
look up, and takes her attention off hel
work from one to five minutes. Sup.
pose each woman lCses an average OF
two minutes. With $50 women that
means loss to the firm of 800 minutes
or five hours of time. That is toe
much to lose when we are working un.
der a full head of steam, as we are
now. "-ChriStidn Union.

produce the best results. You might
look around day or so after introduc'
ing it to see if there are any rats lying
about with their heads sneezed off
Here is another: Mix equal parts of
chloride of lime with blue vitriol, pow
dered fine, and apply it the same as the
pepper. 1t is rather rough on their
wind organs. 1t is safe TO say that a
consumptive rat running over it few
times would soon kick his little bucket.
A particularly acute little article for
banishing rats and mice is moist caustic
potash. 1t will be found very useful in
some places. Spread thin layer OF it
around their holes. When they run
over it evil befalls them. 1t sticks to
their feet, eats off the bark, and lays
them on the shelf. When a hole is in
the ground, place board with hole
in the center over the rat-hole and
spread the article on the board. In
I passing over the board, they will apply
the corrective nicely. When their feet
begin to Jingle, they try to lick it off,
and get dreadfully sore mouth. 1t is
very severe medicine, and plays
smash with them generally, Tar, used
in the same manner, is also very good.
| 1t annoys rats sadly. Smear their holes
with it, and they will soon settle theil
bills and go off mad. We find it adj
visable to apply it three or four times
to insure their departure for good

A Doctor on Long Dresses.


Areporter of the Chicago Tribune says:
l called on doctor to ask him what he
thought of the talk about typhoid fever.
He is one of those doctors who can af-
ford to be brusque, and your brusque
man is apt to be honest. He heard my
question, and still looking over his
book, never lifting his eyes, he replied;
"There are worse thirgs than typhoid
fever stalking the streets of Chicago,
and men are running after them instead
of avoiding them. l mean the long
dress on the street picks up the refuse
Of the walls, and the woman who wears
one carries enough germ-life to her
home to sicken the whole family. l
would like to see these people who are
always on the alert for epidemics take
care Of thems elves, and use little COM
mon sense. If my daughter wore one
of those long dresses, which she does
not to my knowledge, l would make
her take it off in the clubhouse and
have it cleaned before it was brought
into her own room"

How to Darn Stockings.

Nothing looks worse in a child's APP
pearance than an unsightly darn on
the knees Of his stockings, and it is an
art not generally known, even among
good knitters, how to avoid this. The
following simple instructions will, |
think, be useful in showing how easily
new knees can be knitted into a stock
ing. Unravel top and bottom of the
rent until you have at each end a clear
line of stitches, take up on a knitting
needle the upper line; then pull tight
the jagged edges on each side of The
hole, and with a worsted needle and
wool just sew them over very lightly
and neatly. This done, you have a
space to fill up, and you proceed to knit
the row you have ready on your knit
ting-needle until you have a flap of
knitting done the exact size of the
hole, Then take up on another needle
the lower row of stitches, and knit it
together with the upper row, on the in
side of the stocking, just as if you were
fastening off the toe of stocking.
Once more thread your worst ed needle,
and sew the sides of the flap, on the in
side, to the sewed-over jagged sides of
the rent, and, instead of an ugly darn,
you have an almost imperceptible re-

Taking 1t Literally.

Among the scholars, when Lamb and
Coleridge attended school, was poor
cleryman's son of the name of Simon
Jennings. On account of his dismal
and gloomy nature his playmates had
named him Pontius PLATE. One morn
ing he went up to the master, DR..
Boyer, and said in his usual whimper-
ing manner, " Please, doctor, the boys
call me Pontius Plate" If there was
one thing which DR.. Boyer hated more
than a false quantity in Greek and
Latin, it was the practice of hickman
ing. Rushing down among the schol-
airs from his pedestal of state, with
cane in hand, he cried, with his usual
voice of thunder, Listen, boys; the
next time hear any of you say Pom
thus Plate I'll cane you as long as this
cane will lastl You are to say Simon
Jennings and not 'Pontius Plate
Remember that, if you value your
hides" Next day the same class were

remarkably dull and literal turn of
mind had toIopeat the creed. He ha0
got as far as suffered under,' and
was about popping out the next word,
when the DOCTORS prohibition unluckily
flashed upon his obtuse mind. After
moments hesitation, he blurted out,
" Suffered under Simon Jennings,

The next sentence was never uttered,
for DIR. Boyer bad already sprung like a
tiger upon him, and the cane was de-
scending upon his unfortunate shout
ders. When the irate doctor had dis
charged his cane-storm upon him, he
said, "What do you mean, you BOBBY,
by such blasphemy?" 81 only did as
you told me-" replied the simple
minded youth. "Did as l told you,"
roared the doctor, now wound up to
something above boiling point. "What
do you mean?" AS he said this he in
stinctively grasped the cane more
furiously. eyes, doctor, you said we
were always to call Pontius PLATE
Simon Jennings. Didn't he, Sam9"
appealed the unfortunate culprit to
Coleridge, who was next to him. Sam
said naught, but the doctor, who saw
what Ounce he had to deal with, cried,
Boy, you are fool Where are your
brains?" Poor DIR. Boyer for second
time was " tloored," for the scholar
said, with an earnestness which proved
its truth, but to the intense horror of
the learned potentate, " In my stomach,
sir" The doctor always respected that

half-afraid that stray blow might be
