On February II, 1896. Emily Weeks
(Mrs. Julius Sedgwick Of Eveleth.
Minn.), Leola Vancil (Mrs Carl Randall
of Pittsburgh, Jean Tuttle, Ida Millar.
Morgan of Hebron, were initiated into
the mystic circle Of Kappa Alpha Theta,
and so after lapse Of five years Rho
chapter lived again.
In the same year Phi Beta Kappa was
established in Nebraska university, and
four of the first six graduates Of Rho
were elected to membership. They were
Gertrude Laws Hardy, Katharine Wes-
on Wing, Anne Wilder and Elinor WILL
Jams Sisson. From the succeeding
classes Edith Schwartz Clements, Emily
Weeks Sedgwick and Ruth Wilson have
been chosen as p. B. KS.
In the fall Of 1899 the Thetas went into
their own chapter house, one Of the first
two frat houses" for women in Lin
coin. The first year they occupied 1901
NJ street, but each year since then they
have been in the beautiful old home Of
Judge Amasa Cobb, whose three grand
daughters, Jane Macfarland Douglas Of
st. Joseph, Missouri, and Jessie and
Ruth Macfarland Of Los Angeles, but
all formerly Of Lincoln, are all enthusi-
astic members Of Kappa Alpha Theta.
This makes an ideal fraternity home,
with its beautiful grounds, used for
lawn fetes in the spring, and the roomy
house which accommodates ten or eleven
girls. This year the chaperone has been
Miss Sara Hayden, art instructor at the
university, who is member Of the fra
ternity.
Since Rho was re-installed she has
averaged about fifteen members. This
year the chapter roll has been larger
than usual, including the following
young ladies:
Edith Schwartz Clements, Lincoln;
Margaret Loomis, Lincoln; Jeanette
Post, York; Laura Woodford, Knowles
Vile, N. Y; Alice Towne, Omaha:
Sallie Agnew, Lincoln; Harriet Paul,

Omaha; Ena Brach, Hastings; Martha
Cline, Minden; Ethel Norval, Seward;
Joyce Broadly, Lincoln; Martha Post,
Columbus; Edith Robbins, Lincoln.
In addition to the above Miss Eliza
beth Jeter, of Omaha, has been pledged.
There is no alumnae chapter of Kappa
Alpha Theta in Lincoln, so the alumnae
are in close touch with the active chap

coin are Ida Robbins, Sara Hayden,
Anne Barr, Clara Walsh, Mrs. w. E.

When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost
universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so Indispensable to old people Peruna is
their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these cases
exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally:
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them This is exactly what

Whatever his faults, II cannot be de-

His majesty granted her request and
graciously dismissed her. Then some
candid friend in the anteroom turned
the smiles Of the widow into the wan

ing her that, as the sovereign had not
attached his signature to her petition,
this was as good as dismissal. She,
therefore, burst into such q paroxysm
of weeping that his majesty came from
the audience room to see what was
wrong. When he discovered how mat

aMoon Blind Said the Stranger"

Flagman Durham, of the Dudley sta
ton of the Pennsylvania railroads
Camden annex district, had just left
the flag house to flag an approaching
train, early one morning recently,
when he saw a man sitting on the
track. apparently asleep. He hustled
the stranger from the track just as the
train passed. The man refused to give
his name. He was perfectly sober,
and said to the Waterman:
81 didn't know where | was sitting.
I'm a stranger here. When l visited
the town last night | was attacked
with moon blind and couldn't see. l
wandered after that, believing | would
recover my sight"
He was cared for and, strange to
state, when the moon disappeared, he
says he partly regained his sight, and
went on rejoicing.-Philadelphia Rec

Won STERNBURG DINED
He Is the Guest of Honor at the
Manhattan G1nh- New York

New York, April 23.--Baron Speck Won
Sternburg, minister and envoy of the
German empire, was the guest of honor
at a dinner given by Edward Uhl and
Herman Ridder at the Manhattan club
last evening. He said:
NO great nation can expect to escape
the penalty of greatness. Both the United
States and Germany are confronted by
vast problems-social, political and COM
mercial. Our marvellous development dur
ing the last decades has added new and
heavier responsibilities to those we al
ready had. So far it has been wisdom,
moderation and forbearance on both sides
which have lightened our burdens and
permitted undisturbed by friction to
reap the fruits of our efforts. You may
answer this with a smile and say, How
about Samoa and Venezuela?
well, gentlemen, my answer Is this:
In both cases there was some unpleas-
antness which threatened to produce fric-
ton. But all fair-minded men who have
analyzed the reasons which caused the
trouble seem to agree that it was in nc
way due to any political or commercial
questions which were menacing the well
fare of either country, but that 1t was
due to misunderstanding.
when men meet to transact business
be it in politics, in commerce, finance OF
diplomacy, they do not plunge into action
before they have shaken hands and looked
into each others eyes. Such was the
case during the Samoan and Venezuelan
bubbles. The men who had been chosen
to smooth matters met. They under
stood each other, agreed and pushed theil
| work thru without friction.
What want to emphasize tonight is
| that our two nations, in working out
| their great problems, which, after all, are
bearing us towards the same goal, should
use all their power to foster a clearer
understanding between their people. Thi:
is the surest safeguard against future
| friction. We both have gone thru simila
trials in peace and in war, and it i:
owing to these trials that the great quail
ties which we possess in common hav'
been fully developed. You already VI.
