Hotel Spreads.

The principal hotels of the city are maxi
ing elaborate preparations to place great
spreads before their guests. The menu
cards are out and are gems. Some are
printed in bright colors while others are
hand painted, so far as the covers are con-
cerned. In almost every instance the pic
ture of great Nebraska gobbler appears
and calls attention to the appetizing things
that the table will present.
At the hospitals, jails and charitable in
sttutions dinner will be the principal meal
of the day. 1t will be tempting and nothing
will be too rich for the stomachs of the
afflicted and the poor
From a sporting standpoint the day will
be up to the average. At all the drinking
resorts Tom and Jerry will be on hand not
withstanding the balmy condition of the at
mosphere and the warm weather that is
likely to prevail during the day.

Afternoon Amusements.

Foot ball will attract many and there is
every indication that a good game will be
put I'D at the Ames Avenue park where the
husky boys Of Grinnell college and those of
the Nebraska State university will chase
the pigskn over the field in an effort to win
fame and the applause of tho young women
and the rooters.
Three hundred of the High school boys
are going over to Red Oak, where the lads
of that town and those from Omaha will
roll in the dust and decide by main strength
the question of which place is the home of
the better foot ball team.
For the benefit of those who do not take
an interest in foot ball the Winchester Gun
club has prepared an entertainment in the
nature of glass ball and turkey shoot
which will be pulled off during the after
noon on the East Omaha grounds While
the shoot will not be participated in by out
siders, all who desire may become spec
tators.
Both afternoon ard evening the theaters
will keep open house.
The day will be rounded out with numer-
Gus dances which will be held at the diff
ferent halls or these dances no doubt the
principal one will be that given by the
Omaha Street Railway Employees Benefit
association. For this thousands of tickets
have been sold and the indications are that
Washington hall will be crowded to it's ca
pacity. The funds arising from the sale of
tickets go into the sick benefit fund.
Yesterday the children cf the public schools
appeared at their respective rooms loaded
down with baskets and packages containing
clothing and articles of food for the poor.
This was the annual gift OF the little folks
and will be distributed by the Associated
Charities

Ending Up Floor Boards.

From the New York Sun.
1t is a common thing to see men pass
ing floor boards right up the front end
of building. The man on the ground
raises a board so that its upper END can
be grasped by a man standing at the
window of the second story, who now
swings the lower end of it around
through the air and up within the grasp
of a man standing at a window in the
story above. The third man in turn
swings it up to a man at a window IN
the story above him, and so the board
goes in this way from the ground to
whatever story it is to be taken in at.
1t takes muscle to lift the boards by
one end in this way and swing them up
and to keep at it. The other day lit
tie variation in the method employed
was observed in this city by which the
man on the ground managed to save
himself a little. Instead of lifting the
dead weight of each board he brought
leverage to bear with his shoulder for
a fulcrum. The load of boards had been
slid off from the truck in the street, not
alongside the curb, but at right angles
to it in the street The ends of the
boards were toward the building and in
front of it. The man on the ground
would pick up a board by the end and
walk toward the building, holding it,
and then instead of facing the pile and
fitting the board by sheer strength he
would face the building, and, lifting
the board on his shoulder, would depress
the forward end of the board and so
swing the other end up. 1t looked like
an easier way of doing it than the dead
lift. 1t was possible only on the ground,
in front of the building, where there
was room to move. and possible to ad-
vantage only with the load thus conven-
iently placed.
