Once upon a time ("longtemps passe" 1
think some of my friends call it, there was
a man who had been burdened with the
companionship OF what was considered in
those days a most incurable disease. And
the man, his name was Naaman. Now this
name-man heard that he could be cured BY
a prophet whose name. 1t was Elisha. And
so he went to see Elisha, in his special car,
with his porters and Wallets and so forth.
But Elisha was not a bit impressed by
the style in which Captain Naaman Of the
Syrian army Travelled, and instead Of com
ing out and working a miracle there while
the captain waited. he merely sent out one
Of the servants and told Naaman to go
wash himself in the Jordan.
So Captain Naaman was very angry, and.
being heated, he said: Are not ALBANIA and
Pharpar. rivers Of Damascus, better than
all the waters Of Israel? May 1 not wash
in them and be clean?" And the historian
says that "he turned and vent away in a
rage"
But the others got around Naaman, and
they told him not to act so, that 1t was
foolish. and that If the prophet had told
him to do some great thing" wouldn't ne
have been mighty glad to do it, in order to
get healed?
So the story goes on to tell that he did
what he was told to do and was immedi-
ately healed. Now this story is told Of a
man that lived hundreds OF years ago. But
the moral is good for today.
Every teacher has had experience with
the pupil who will neglect that simple lit
tie detail Of practice which would mean
so much, and without which no lasting good
can be obtained.
Many a pupil would be willing, say, to
walk fifteen blocks daily, II assured that
thereby a great gain would be noticed in
the voice or in the fingers. But they will
not give fifteen minutes a day to careful
study of breathing, position, finger work,
wrist relaxing or any OF those little things
which go to max up the essentials of COR
rect work.
They are willing to work on songs, or
"pieces," and so forth. but they do not
want to do the little needful."
They like the great rivers Of Damascus"
and they do not want to bother dipping
seven times in the Jordan"

this hope last year also. 1t would stimu-

The orpheum bill. opening this week
with a matinee this afternoon, offers
amusement as widely divergent as the
span OF seven acts will permit, with the
new comers outnumbering the old favor
ties, and a promise Of that which is out
OF the ordinary. Ellison and Enrol will
present "A Daughter of Bacchus," in which
the comedy arises from the wife's attempt
to cure her husband OF his curiosity by
f~eigning intoxication. This pair has never
been seen at the local vaudeville house.
A stock OF puns and PAROLES will be con-
tributed by Fields and Ward, talking COM
edians. Les Frassetds will constitute the
musical feature. They are accomplished
on a number of instruments, including the
harp. violin and xylophone. e Zobedie,
like the musicians, is from Europe, his
speciality is acrobatics and equilibrism,
his feats being Of the most daring and
dihicult kind. Collins and Hart do a
burlesque heavy weight lifting stunt"
which is said to be a side-splitting laugh
maker. The Tanakas do a very pretty
oriental act, embracing juggling, equili-
brism and necromancy, their costumes and
paraphernalia being very attractive. New
and timely moving scenes will be projected

ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM

There is a masquerade, Masonic and mys-
ferrous, scheduled for Friday, and the 18th
day Of the month, at Freemasons' hall in
Omaha; but what II Is and who is doing
1t is locked within the breasts of a few. a
very few, persons even those in ohacial
capacity not knowing the names Of the
persons associated with them, or each of
the people in charge, from the master of
ceremonies down are TO come to the door
masked and the masks are not to be re-
moved until 1890 O'Clock.
The invitations will be issued early in
the week and will be signed by a num-
Der instead Of names. Invitations are lin
tied to members of the Masonic lodges of
the city and their families. and no person
not vouched for by some member OF the
committee will be permitted to pass the
gates, for although the managers are I'M
known to each other each invited guest must
be known TO one or more of the four mem
bers Of the examining committee. A copy
OF the invitation announces that the master
Of ceremonies will be "VL-EC-JT-69," that
the chairman OF the floor committee Is
"2-29-37-46-1S, assisted by "16-36-47-59-56."
"65-lO-T0-7l-22," and "13-26-39-52-1O." Tho
examining committee and the refreshment
committee are also similarly designated by
numbers and each one of these people
will carry the first number Of their desig-
nation upon their arm, so that guests may
knew that persons bearing the num-
bers 4, %. AZ and 25 are examiners and
that SO, 3. So and IL will be on hand with
refreshments when the eating time comes.
The people managing this affair have de-
cided that the money raised by the enter
tainment shall be used for the purpose Of
assisting one of the Masonic lodges or
allied bodies, but which one is hard to
tell. for acceptanees OF the invitation are
to be mailed to "37-73-16. box 776, Omaha.

the work in a maner highly satisfactory,

a play that is no stranger to Omaha. "A
Ragged Hero" tells Of the effort of a tramp
to run to earth a murderer who after COM
hitting his crime fastens it onto his
brother, a somnambulist. Everything ends
happily for all except the william. A daring
rescue from a burning building by means of
a child's swing which is worked up to
the window and a race between the heroine
on a bobsled and a locomotive are two of
the thrilling scenes. Hal Brown will enact
the role Of the heroic tramp.

Her Lord and Master" was to have been
the attraction at the Boyd Friday and
Saturday nights. but owing to illness in
the company 1t was forced to cancel its
engagement here. The Moonshiner's
Daughter" a melo-drama depicting life
among the Illicit distillers of the blue
grass regions of Kentucky. was booked to
replace 1t. Desperate encounters between
the revenue officers and the moonshiners,
hair raising situations and goose-fesh pro-
ducing scenes are said to be numerous
throughout the piece. The m%oonshiner's
little GAL as the boys call her, always
on time with her guns and always capable
Of standing of a dozen deputies, is much
in evidence all through the piece. The
play for gun plays. sensational murders,
ETC., is said to have Tracy, the Outlaw"

backed off the boards.
