Though Lent Is less than three weeks
on and society aware from past experience
that there will be comparatively little
doing after Ash Wednesday, no one seems
to exhibit any inclination to improve the
remaining time by giving anything Of par
ticular consequence, though there are no
end Of small AFFAIRS. Even the debutantes
have ample time nOwadays-people seen
to ave gotten quite out OF the way OF
doing things for them, which is unfortu-
nate, as there is a sort OF unwritten law
tina debutAntes shall do little for them
selves. that is during their first season, and
Il 10 generally regarded as unfortunate that
their honors had TO be divided with the
brides. at least, so early in the winter, 1t
must be admitted that the girls who came
out this year are exceptional, In several
ways. and while they have lived up to
all tradition concerning dsbutantes. they
have managed not only to make the best
OF their position OF secondary consequences
into which they have been crowded Of late,
but have devised entertainment for them
selves and not a few others. The Dramatic,

showing Jewel cases and powder boxes in

be put to practical use when their on

swain gave expression to his feelings in

A fashionable ~shopkeeper insists that the
vogue OF valentine gifts is largely a matter
of evolution, and that for several years they
have been growing more general, more per-

There are two young men in town-if
they were girls they would be called debu-'
tantes, and Who, If they live long enough,
will doubtless attain membership In the
Country or Omaha club, for they are Of that
set-who have gained considerable expert
ence and not a little notoriety during the
week that will doubtless last them through
out this winter at least. Up to date, the
club experience Of these two aspirants for
social favor consists chiefly in official po-
sition in a certain Hikeing club that won
more or less mention during the summer,
but Of which little has been heard since
the weather got cold. 1t. may have been
a wish to keep up the standard Of the club
or possibly only the love of a tramp that
prompts membership in that sort Of or
ganization, but, however that may be, these
two young men, against the better 1udg-
ment OF their business associates, started
out to walk to Council Bluffs and back
about 8 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Just
TO get out in the storm" There is every
reason to believe that they did tramp to
CouDcil Bluffs, for each of them has a
badly frosted left ear that has attained
rather embarrassing proportions and,
though they are as to the
return trip, the fact that only the left ear
Is frosted Is accepted as proof positive
that they did not walk back. There is a
story in circulation over across the river
to the effect that about $50 o'clock on
Tuesday evening. during the worst OF the
storm. a tall young man with a rather
short. heavyset companion, each dressed in
hikeing costume. covered with snow and
with hair projecting in numerous ~icicles
from beneath their little caps, entered the
Grand hotel and asked for a place where
they might make themselves presentable
for dinner. Whether or not they got the
dinner has not yet been learned, but 1t
is a fact that they we're mistaken for foot
ball players by two young women who were
accustomed to meeting them in dress suits,
and who were disposed to be anything but
cordial.

with ferns and green's in effective decora-
ton with the exception of one room, which
was trimmed with paper chains and val

done in water color and during the after

College Prank of Kansas Governor.

w. j. Bailey, governor of Kansas, and
A. S. Draper. president of the Illinois
University, were recently the guests of
honor at banquet given by the alumni
OF the university at the Coates house.
The Kansas City Journal says that
when Alfred Gregory, toastmaster, intro
duced Gov. Bailey, who responded to
the toast, "The College Man in Politics"
he prefaced his remarks by telling the
story of a prank played by the governor
when he was a young student at the uni
versity. "Will bailey tied two cats to-
gether," said he. THE governor fast
cned their tails together and then hung
them over the gas fixture in front of
n professors door. OF course those cats
did some tall fighting, and VIII Bailey
was in on 1t. Who wonders that his
desire for a fight led him into politics
and directed his destiny towards Kan
sas?"

GOOD WORD FOR THE EsoUIMAu.
An Industrious Chap Who Deserves a
Helping Hand.

The natives of Alaska arc a fast
dwindling race. Their sun is setting
Probably their midday sun never rose
higher than the midwinter sun rises III
this latitude.
Most of the Esquimaux in Alaska are
gathered At the missions, but the Traveller
will find few in villages of two or threa
or half a dozen ig,oos in places con-
venlent for fishing, as fish is the staple
liet of these people. Starvation and dis
ease have left but remnant of once
pOpulous tribes.
Contact with the white race has had
great deal to do with their deteriora-
ton. They like whisky, and like all 9th
err native races are not naturally indus
trious. Before the coming of the white
man stern necessity made them provide
for the immediate future. The sea sup
piled them with most of their food, and
there were wild berries and various kinds
of game ON the land to vary their fish
diet. By instinct inherited from a long
line of ancestors they are fishermen and
hunters, but by contact with the Cau--
casian they are makers of eurios and
traders. In their new avocations they
have become dependent to a great extent
upon the white people.
But the higher race is not responsible
| for all their ills. The unsantary state
in which they live is not conducive to
longevity. The impure air in the native
winter huts, the lack of personal cleanli
ness and much of the food the native
eats would shorten the days of the
hardest people.
The Esuuimau has some qualities OF
character to be admired He has often
shared his last bit of food with starving
prospectors or wrecked sailors. He is
bright and ingenious, simple minded as
Il child, with a happy disposition that
, takes no thought of the morrow. He Is
bad only when under the influence OF
! HGuor.
The government should make some
provision for the Esluimau. He can be
made self-supportng. possibly con-
| tributor TO the wealth of the world, Ivy
placing him in line of work for which
nature has fitted him. Provide him with
modern appliances and means for iishin.
and whaling. and with proper manage
ment he will become a producer OF
