AK-SAR-BEN TX
Most PuissAAA and Gracious Of Kings
Ruler Of the Seven Cities
Of Cibola
OMAHA'S PATRON SATRAP
He Of the Mighty Hustie-and Wide
reaching Patriotism-Hsre for
Coronation

Coronation
The first ten days of brown October
will be bright with electricity and
pageant. The great Ak Sar- Ben TX will
make his triumphal entry and receive his
crown. No more gracious monarch ever
graced throne or cut cornstalk. No
patron saint of the Mediterranean
brought more benefcent gifts to city.
Serene and secure, he will sit on his
throne and his people will rejoice as they
never rejoiced before. He OF the Mighty
Hustle has driven lethargy, inattertion,
sordid selhshness and want of public
spirit from the midst of the people. In
their stead he has instituted the Order
of Welcome, the
FELLOWSHIP OF THE GLAD HAND
and the Independent Order OF Workers
for the Common Good Unity, agrees
i've cooperation and fealty to the inter-
ests of the city and state have driven
pessimism, se!fshness and Indifference
into hiding. Of the 1928 active knights
of Ak -Sar- Ben. three fourths are of in
snrabie age. One-half are married All
are business hustlers. Many of them
are absolutely without life insurance.
Others are carrying only temporary in
demnity. 1t is hardly necessary to ad-
wise these wide awake people that life
insurance is quite as essential as fire in
surance as an element of business econ
omy.
/ THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE
| is an Omaha institution. 1t is two years
younger than Ak -Sar Ben. 1t has nearly
twice as many members. 1t continues
in business throughout the round year,
| always pushing, growing, extending.
Every dollar of surplus and all its re-
serves are concentrated in Omaha, where
ia its home Office. The day is not dis
tant when this aggressive young Omaha
organization will have more money with
in its custody and control than the larg-
est of our national banks. Within ten
years from this year Of our Lord the
Bankers Reserve Life company will be
a $50,C00000 Life company and will be
enjoying a premium income OF ovel
81, 100000 per annum.
b. Ell. robson, PRESIDENT
, of the Bankers Reserve Life company il
loyal Knight OF Ak Sar Ben, as he has
for twenty years been loyal citizen o
!, Omaha. He invites individual Knight
to reflect upon the value of great Lift
company to Omaha A brief consider
alton of the subject will show that n,
other single enterprise in Omaha can b.
!, SO useful to the city. Mr.. Robson think
o the Knights of Ak -Sar- Ben who requir
8 additional insurance should take it il
S the Bankers Reserve Life, il upon in
o vestigation they find, as they must find
that this Omaha Institution is up to dat
aggressive, safe and liberal.

Lightning's Photographs.

During a thunderstorm recently
a number of Swiss marksmen were
struck by lightning while at rifle
practice. 1t was subsequently found
that upon their bodies were i'm
printed Photographic impressions of
the trees by which the range is sur
rounded. For at least a century
and a quarter the Photographic
powers of lightning have been
known to the scientist. Benjamin
Franklin noted an instance in
1866 in which the effect of what he
enormously described as a thun-
derbolt was to photograph upon the
breast of a man the likeness of a
tree against which he was standing.
A New York scientific journal not
ed case of little girl upon whose
body was impressed the exact i'm
age of a young maple tree growing
before the window at which she
stood when struck by lightning.

German Education.

In a report recently sent to his
government the British consul at
Stuttgart says that as direct re-
suit of her great technical schools
Germany has surpassed all nations
in chemical manufactures. He es-
Inmates the value of the chemical
products annually made in Germany
at 1,0O0,O00,OO0 marks, or $685.
100000. A very large part Of these,
especially dyes made of coal tar, are
exported to the chief manufacturing
nations-the United States; Great
Britain, France, etc.
Of correlated interest is a recent
report of United States Consul Gen
eral GueDther, at Frankfort, on
Germany's universities. He states
that of the 37,813 students who are
at present matriculated at the TWEEN
ty-one German universities 5000
are Germans and 2,701 foreigners,
the latter being 72 per cent of the
total number. Of these foreigners
1899 belong to European and 432
to non-European countries. Amer
lea is represented by 276 students.

VentriIoquiaI Fowls.

M. Emile Merwert, secretary gen
eral Of French Guiana, has sent to
the Jardin DIES Plantes in Paris two
pairs Of ventriloquial fowls. These
birds are greatly amusing visitors
to the gardens who assemble round
their cage by their cries, which at
one time appear to come from the
trees, at others from the sky and
sometimes from the midst of the
crowd itself. The flesh of the birds
is said to be more savory than that
of pheasants or the finest guinea
fowls, and their eggs are in great
favor among American epicures.
The Empress Josephine tried to ac-
climatic the species in the Malmai-
son aviary, but without success.

How q Statue Grew.

Very warlike is the aspect of a SIN
gular equestrian statue in Belgium, yet
there is no cause for alarm since 1t Is
nothing but tree. Some ten years
ago policeman retired from the force
and went to live near Charleroi. Being
an amateur horticulturist, he busted
himself good deal with trees and
flowers, and one day as he was trim
ming q hawthorn in his garden 1t oc-
Cured to him that it would be novel
idea to train it in such a manner that
it would eventually assume the figure
Of a cavalry officer. At once he went
to work, and after zen years labor he
succeeded in transforming the tree into
a perfect picture of mounted soldier.
The tree is known in the neighborhOod
as General Hawthorn" and hardly a
day passes that strangers do not come
from a considerable distance in order
to view this wonderful example Of hor-
icultural art.

Spurqeon Rchuked.

Mr.. Sturgeon was once travelling
in a railway carriage, the only other
occupant Of which was a maiden
lady of somewhat severe aspect, and
to pass the time he entered into
conversation with her on various
topics.
The train happened to pass
Kelvedon, in Essex, where Spur
geon first saw the light, and the
preacher, who dearly loved joke,
pointed from the window and re-
marked:
"a very great man was born there
Mr.; Sturgeon, the eminent
preacher"
The lady looked at him with a
stony stare for some time and then
replied:
eff St. Paul had been passing his
birthplace he would have said, "A
very great sinner was born there
Mr.. Spurgeon."
1t was the first intimation which
the preacher had that he had been
recognized by his travelling COM
panion.

Heating the Tropics.

The desire to get business causes
some European firms to make ridic-
ulous plumbers. One of these, as
related by correspondent in Trim
