as shameless as his conduct was repre-
hensible, fingered in the Jap Of spring UNI
Ill actually forced out. Almost every
lawn and grass plot has been raked over
by now, though, and the beautiful green Of
early season is seen on every hand. Moth

well kept lawn, and nowhere are the lawns
better kept than in Omaha, where nature
has done so much to assist mankind in
preparing and maintaining his bit Of green

Fertile soil and salubrious climate have
mat this an ideal country for the growth
of tlue grass and white clover, and pro-

kind, to the end that the result Is most
delightful to the senses that are rayished
by the beautiful. But 1t is not only the
lawns that get cleaned in 'thc springtime.
Everything about the place is freshened

WlILLARY BELL, the New York
dramatic critic who died recently,
NRWUBN was a man OF numerous occupa-
kEkg2M ~tions-artist, writer, editor, cor
~pOr2tiOn director, etc, aud he
was faithful in the performance OF all
duties appertaining TO these positions. But
in spite of all this burden of work, which
would have broken down a man less strcng
and systematic than he, Mr.. Bell found
time for a curious yearly tribute to his
wife. Each year he carefully retouched
her portrait, which he painted ten years
ago. The face and figure he never changed,
but each season the style of costume was
altered in conformity with prevailing style,
The hair also was dressed in the r~eisning
mode.
Senator Mark Hanna has a lame knee.
The ailment has been d described many times
as the govt. 1t is nothing of the sort. The
trouble is due to a hbrous growth that
makes 1t extremely painful for the senator
to walk at times, and is always incon-
venient.
A few days ago Postmaster General
Payne limped through the lobby of the Ar
lington hotel in Washington. Senator
Hanna was sitting in one of the big leather
chairs.

Joe Cannon's wit is of the rugged s,st-

IN the way OF Chesterfeldian grace. Here
is a story which illustrates this character
istic Of the distinguished Illinois states
man: On one occasion he was breakfasting
at a hotel in a small country town when
he accidentally upset his coffee on the
table. The landlady commented somewhat
shrewishly upon his caTelessness, but Mr..
Cannon made no reply. At the succeeding
meal she took occasion to say: IT'S a
good thing for you that the coffee left no
stain on my tablecloth." To which Uncle
Joe calmly replied: 1T was TOO weak,

When Dolphin was at San Juan, Porto
Rico, with Secretary Moody and his friends
aboard, many of the natives went on board
TO see the ship. One of them wanted a
drink of water, turned to a man in a white
zap who was standing by the rail and told
him to get him one. This was done, and a
member of the party who saw the incident
turned to the Porto Rican and told him
that it was the American custom to tip a
man when he did anything. 1T would

he said, "and especially as the man who

At South Omaha the champion high school
orators Of the several classes met on the
evening of May 1 for the purpose OF deciding
the position of first among those who have
been acknowledged as first in their respec-
tive districts. 1t is not exactly oratory
that these young people practice. but rather
elocution and expression, with some little
stress laid on selection. They are not ex-
pected to prepare original ''pieSes.' but are
permitted to commit selections from any
source and recite them from memory. Well
known authors are levied upon. and It not
infrequently happens that old favoritcs,
poetry or prose, that have done duty at
rhctoricals for many a year, are heard at
these contests. After each school in a
district has chosen its champion, the dis
trict competition is held, and then the
winners meet in state competition, so that
to the winner of the final test falls no mean
distinction. At the South Omaha contest
Miss Hildra Condron of South Oman won
first and Miss Alice Batty OF Hastings was
second in the dramatic class: in the ora
torical class Herbert Cleveland Of Lex
ington was first and Mabel Coleman OF
Fullerton was second; and in the humorous
class Harley Bellamy of Cambridge was
first, Nellie Handley of Norfolk was sec
ond and May Frank Of York was third.
For some reason Miss Handley evaded The
Bee photographer when the others posed
for the picture shown in this number, and
she alone is omitted.
