NOTES OF NEBRASKA CORPS.

| Secretary Maggie Snyder, of E. V. Sumner
| Corps Sidney, Neb., reports triple alliance of
| Post, Corps, and 8. of ", through which the
banner of patriotism is kept up in that thriv-
| ing little city. Sumner Corps was instituted
| three years ago. and was the first Corps in the
| State to observe Flag Day, a custom kept up.
1t has a long roll of bright deeds, and 25 fami-
lies have felt their comfort and assistance.
Summer Corps had introduced the flag salute
into the schools, and in order to keep them
selves in practice. that it may be impaired
to others, it is given at every Corps meeting.
Every child in the place knows it, and this led
to splendid celebration of Flag Day, 1897,
when IS little girls carrying flags represented
the States of the Union, and the program began
and ended with the flag salute. Adeline Has
kell 10 the Corps President.
Notes are received from Department Core
spondent Mary R. Morgan, the most interesting
feature of which is the founding of library
by Geary Corps. of Juniata, for the benefit of
members, including all soldiers and their fami-
lies. A movement Of this kind cannot be too
highly commended. Books are like money
when one begins to collect and hoard they ac-
cumuate very fast. A good circulating library
is right in the line with the work of patriotic
| teaching, to which the Relief Corps stands
pledged.
Wilson Relief Corps have presented their
Post with silk flag, which is said to be the
finest ever seen in that part!of the State. This
is to take the place of flag given the Post IL
years ago.
Among the beautiful acts of kindness for
which A. L. Gates Corps, of Lyons. is noted
was the presentation of an invalid chair to one
of its members. to raise the funds for which a
variety of novel entertainments were given,
including cake walk.
silk quilt was made by Wilson Corps,
which was sold by numbers. and right here q
believer in dreams will find something curious.
The night before the drawing was to take
place Mrs. Silas Brown dreamed that she had
| bought ticket No. S and drew the guilt, which
proved the lucky number. So when the time
came to sell the tickets she was on hand early
and bought No. 5. Sure enough, when the
ticket was drawn by the little blindfolded girl
from the basket it proved to be No. 5, and Mrs.
Brown got the quilt. She had told some OF her
friends about her dream in advance, SO that
| more than usual interest was excited in the
utcomc.

and actors show signs Of wear. and
the player looks longlngly toward

coming Is not an unmixed Joy for the
actor. as the warm months stretch out
intermirably. and engagements are
scarce as the proverbial hens teeth. 4
good many summer stock companies
play around the principal cities and
watering places. but the salaries are
very small and OF course there Is an
immense amount OF competition for
engagements. Very often the compa-
MES which play at summer resorts give
absurdly small salaries. besides paying
the board OF the actor. but as this Is
