ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT.
Chicago, Boston and New York
Travel,

On and after Jun 18th, the Erie Rail-
road will still further improve their Bos-
ton and New York service by Offering to
the public a handsome limited train TO
leave Chicago from Dearborn Station every

next afternoon at $3.50 and Boston at

There Is no doubt hat this service will
be highly patronized, as this new train
will land the traveller in New York City
in ample time to permit him to proceed
leisurely to his hotel or home, rest. dress,
dine and spend the evening in whatever
manner may appeal to him most.
This everyday morning train will con-
sist OF standard Pullman d~rawing-room and
sleeping cars. All meals enroute served

And by the way, it is not by any foreign
title that Miss Muncboff is to be known.
She is Mary Munchoff. She is satisfied
with the American title Of Miss" She
has not found 1t necessary to adopt some
absurd nomenclature with a foreign tinge.
She is who she was, and she was an Amer
lean. This is not jingoism. 1t is common
sense. No words Of contempt would be
adequate to the case of a fullborn Amer
lean citizen of the great and glorious na-
ton who would find 1t necessary to abolish
the prefix Miss" or Mrs" which has
perceded some of the greatest names in
the worlds history, for the Reorganization
Of a good American term, in order to Sc
cure business in America.

Coming Events.

Weather conditions nor counter attrac-
lions seem to have any effect on the large
attendance the Ferris Stock company is
drawing at every performance at the Boyd.
The week Just closed showed a very ma
terial increase in attendance over It's
predecessor. The quality Of the entertain
ment seems to grow better with each
change Of bill. The company since its or
ganization has undergone much pruning and
its personnel now contains the names Of
many who have attained prominence as
stock actors. The promise Mr.. Ferris made
at the seasons opening that all plays would
be given the scenic dress they demanded
have been more than fulfilled, as patrons
can attest. In the matter of costuming, all
plays are given with historic correctness
and detail. Two bills Of sterling worth
will be given this week. Opening tonight,
for the first half of the week the well
known 1.-THE Charity Ball" will be given.
For the latter half Of the week, opening
Thursday, "The Creole will be the offer
ing OF "The Charity Ball. little need be
said. 1t bears the brand Of Frohman, which
is a guaranty of excellence. It was last

and the play is said to be filled with strong
climaxes and thrilling situations. Miss
Hayward handles the name part. This

At several r~ecitals recently the writer
of this column has presented the songs
of F. e. Sawyer, a young American COM
poser, who died a few years ago at the
early age Of &c, or q. He was a most
prolific composer, and his works bear the
genuine marks of a spontaneous and IL
limitable genius. His mind was so active
that he could not refrain from writing
constantly. His ideas were eveT-present
and his fecundity was his death. One
of his publishers advises me that he died
from an overdose of a drug, which was
used to cure his insomnia. Ten years from
today, he will be classed among Amer
ica's great song writer's. He seems a re-
incarnation of Goring-Thomas, but there
is a chronological discrepancy there. l am
indebted to the John Church company of
Cincinnati and the White-Smith company
of Boston, for extreme courtesies in CIV
ing me information as to his career. The
hot weather has interfered with my plans
to give a Sawyer recital, but 1t will be
forthcoming in the early fall. Musicians
will do well to look up the songs of Saw
yer, especially the "Eclogue," I'm the
Cloister," and 9TH Wind Had from the
Almonds Flung" published by the White
Smith Music Publishing company Of Bos-
ton. and "Oh Wind that Blows Out Of the
West" Song of a Bower" and Mon
Blen Annie Est Mort" published by John
Church G. Sons. These are the rare gems
for the discerning ones and there are many
which will be discussed later.

Achievement does not mean money-mak-
ing. The money one makes goes when one
dies. But not so the achievement That
lives! 1t shines even more brightly than
when its author was alive.
Mary Munchof has done her duty. She
will always be an example to the earnest
students of Omaha. She stood for only
the highest ideals in her chosen line Of
work. She sacrificed everything in the way
Of bubbles, transitory successes, and tempo
rary gains, to her one exalted idea. She
has succeeded. She is an apostle Of the
real verify Of music. And that lives when
other things perish. l pledge you, Miss
Munchof, in a toast of sincere and heart
felt Joy, and may she find all that happi-
ness and all Of that real genuine success
which she has certainly earned. She has
shown us a brilliant example. May she
have many followers!

WOMAN AS SHE
 APPEARS IN ART

Both painted. She for the love of beau ty; he for the love of money and her. They had not studied under the same masters, hence difference in work, ideas and often the point of congeniality.
 He did not approve of her painting. To his mind no woman should attempt such things She was so sensible, so docile in all things save this one. Her work was really bad. And with what smiling pride she displayed it. The thought of it made him shudder.
 But this was only his point of view. Others seemed to admire her work. And as such was the case, why should she not continue? Why should he be so per verse? She did not dictate to him. Why should he to her? This was her point of view.
 Things went from bad to worse. The difference in opinion threatened to wreck the happiness of both. and the time came when he could stand it no longer. It must be settled. He would go and see her.
 She greeted him sweetly, standing in the warm glow of the hearth her rich red gown as a stem to the lily whiteness oi her face With cry of joy he caught her to him and gazed long and earnestly up on her face He had gained his heart desire. She had ceased to paints

THE GENTLE ART
 oFREADTNa BOOKS

Discussing the right way to read a book, Mir. Hamilton W. Mabie has lately made a broad assertion to which many of our readers will be likely to take ex- ception.
 When" he said, you have your book In your hand, forget that there is any world outside it's pages, for the educa- tional value of reading depends largely on the habit of attention" The rest of this ipse dxit u.terance is largely an ex- pansion of that sentence,
 or course, Mir. Mabie knew very well that just as there are thousands of good books that need not be read at all, there are as many that one should not merely read. but study; and as many again that sbould be merely skimmed for their cream. sgp
 There |; the personal equation of the reader always to be considered. A trained scholar, fn the preparation of some vol luminous work of learning, may casually pick out the plums of hundred books of reference, of which 1t would require a years laborious effort on the part of the average reader to gain but smat- teriEz knowledge.
 Literary history is full of instances of omnivorous readers, like Macaulay, who barely glanced at . book to master its contents. But in the regiment of ordinary students seen in the libraries, or at schools and colleges. or met with In ev- eryday life, there are always the plod- ding-not of necessity duli-intelects. and the active, alert ones which leap instead of crawl to knowledge or mere informa- ton. c"' f
 One man will read his newspaper on the ''L. train and really know what is in it worth Knowing. while his friend, after pottering over its columns at the club all the morning, will ask the real news of the other. io H'ai It is not a matter merely of concentra- tion of mind. Ss MT. Mabie would have us believe. That Is. general reading is not It is the possession. in lesser form. of the Napoleonio brain. which has been likenede at aonce'to a searchltght and a nest of pige8hholes' in which discovered information is tabpiated and stored, to be withdrawn for use at will
 But what, then, is the right way for the average reader to read? The answer. 1t would seem, depends upon the reader, the readers mood. his environment and the book itself. Montaigne said, as did Marcus Aurehus before him, that there was no book but had something of good in it; and yet one man may not read through all the shelves of the British

Trained hands possess soothing toucn, which not only invigorates the scalp. but relieves tense nerves and sfnoothes away distracting headaches. One of the most soothing treatments known is to bathe the head in camomile tea, an old-fash-
 ioaed remedy yet not without it's merits. If you come.sin weary. nervous and
 brain-fagged have your heal rubbed with
 tea made from camomile leaves, and you'll be astonished,s as well as gratihed. at the way you feel refreshed.
 To massage, begin at the eyes, temples and behind the ears, and gently draw the hands upward to the crown of the head, rubbing the tips of the fingers in circular movement. Though once a month is often enough to wash the head is is an excellent idea to frequently allow the hair to hang loosely, so that the air and sun. tod, may reach every root and filament.
 The use of ammonia, borax and bicar- bonatc of soda in the water is very in- furious to the hair and should certainly be avoided. s An excellent wash is composed of olive oil soap. white of egg and camomiie, to which has been added few drops, of vio- let water.
 After the scalp has been thoroughly cleansed with this wash the hair should be rinsed repeatedly with water just IS
 warm as youacan stand it. The last hath,
 however, should be cold; then. the hair must be dried as we'll as possible with a soft towel, not a bath towel by any means, for the rough flores pull out the hair. The hair may be famed dry or lifted strand by strand and then dropped. This method dries 1t uniformly all over the head and also imparts pretty fluff finess to 1t.
 The advantages of covering for the hair at night are worthy of consideration. loose cap, tied under the chin and pro- tecting the hair will keep it from split ting and breaking The cap should be quite thin, either of chiffon, lace or point d esprit, and when trimmed with lace and ribbons 1t may be converted into very pretty and becoming affair.
 When the hair is let down in your own boudoir cap of this kind drawn over the loose braid or coils win serve to keep dust from gathering in the soft masses.
 Just word in regard to hair that splits
 at the ends. Don't let it go until the entire head looks frowsy and uneven.
 Keep a pair of small scissors on the dressing table especially for this purpose and examine the hair frequently, and whenever you notice split ends snip them off immediately. Hair that is split can not possibly grow, and all the brushing and scalp washes in the world will not

By Iva Richardson.


 Most men look at a pretty girl as if she had been born expressly on their account. Men are not nearly so wise as women let them think they are.
 A man can earn s1o.oo0 year, and yet he has to marry some little woman with H week spending money just to make himself comfortable.
 If all men were wise all women would seem sensible.
 Most men divide women into two classes --their mothers and sisters and all other women.
 It is surprising how much most men don't know about babies.
 A man generally reforms on account of some woman, and then takes all the credit to himself.
 Women don't idealize men, for they nev- CT have a chance to.
 Does 1t follow that woman can't pound nail just because she never does when man is about?
 The average man meets more than his

and each of these Is combed out from root to end. .-s
 The virtues of vigorous brushing are too well known to be dwelt upon at any great length; yet it may not be waste of words to give a few hints on the art of brushing the hair.
 Above all, don't go at it too strenuous ly; if you do. you'll pull out more hairs than could possibly be replaced in the semi annual growth.
 Brush gently but firmly. and from the roots to the ends, with single sweep of the arm.
 Bristles that are very stiff tear the hair, so choose a brush with. moderately stiff bristles, long enough and far enough apart to reach well through the hair. The brush should fit the hand and not be heavy enough to tire it.
 Above all, the brush must be immacu- lately clean and only frequent dipping in ammonia and water will keep it in a proper condition.
 Great attention should be given to the comb also, for if the teeth are the least bit rough they will pull out and break off the hair in perfectly appalling way. Besides, uneven teeth irritate the scalp and this, in the end, makes the hair fall out.
 If the hair is in need of tonic. a good ono should be selected, and this may be put on with a little. absorbent cotton held in the fingers.
 Crude Oil a Good Tonic.
 No single tonic can be recommended for all heads, each one requires special stim- ulants or oils; but for making the hair grow and keeping the scalp in good con dition crude oil is really excellent. This is not at all disagreeable, either, for it is put on once or twice a week, according cotton.
 The hair is parted every little space. so that tine scalp may easily be reached without getting the oil on the hair The oil is then worked into the scalp by mass age. With the thumbs held at the back of the head at the base. the finger tips are pressed gently and firmly on every inch of the scalp.

 A woman neevr learns to catch ball because men are so much easier.
 Some men are so stupid that they think women careless for not keeping their shoe laces tied
 Men will never concede that woman knows anything. yet some men spend all their time fussing because some women don't know more than they do. More women would be angels if mox4 men cared anything about Heaven. Women value dress because men value 1t so much more.
