BUSY NEBRASKA WOMEN.
City Of Lincoln Owes Much to Their
Work and Wisdom.

Work and Wisdom.
Lincoln, Neb, is certainly a club
town. With population of something
over 10000, the Woman's Club mem
bership Of 643 is remarkable. In &C.
knowledging the $64 assessment paid
in recently to the general federation.
the treasurer, Mrs. Emma M. Van
Vechten, was moved to inquire what
method had been used to keep so many
women interested in the club work.
please tell us how you do it." she
wrote. The answer was significant.
The Lincoln club women always have
one practical object to work for out
side their literary work, and they new
err have more than one The fall and
early winter months are needed to de-
velop a plan according to their calcu-
lations, and the spring is profitably
put in concocting and considering new
schemes. The largest thing accom-
plished by the club is the high school
lunch room, established last year.
On stormy days over 400 students
patronize the room, and there is an
average attendance of over 300. A
good hot luncheon costs about cents.
This charge covers the cost of the food
as well as all other running expenses
Of the lunch room. Miss Lottie Whe
don, graduate of the Boston Cook
Ing School, personally supervises the
buying and cooking and the food is
hygienically cooked and served.

A DINNER WITH TOLSTOY.
Serious Affairs Banished and Merri-
ment Marked the Repast.

Serious Affairs Banished and Merri.
ment Marked the Repast.
Edward A. Steiner describes a visit
to Tolstoy in the Woman's Home Com
panion. He says:
Countess Tolstoy, as every one
knows does not agree with her hus-
band in all his theories; but she agrees
with the world which worships him,
and l believe that she is very proud
of him, and very devoted, although
her devotion has been severely taxed
in various ways. She has copied yards
of unrea da BILE manuscript while babies
Of various sizes were pulling at her
| skirts: she has translated books into
three or four languages, and has trans
| formed all sorts of garments to meet
the needs of the changing sixteen,
her children. For many, many years
she has nevertheless been cheerful and
happy; and is it possible that there
can be a greater test Of wife's good
ness or a woman's greatness?
LAS l have said, the Countess re-
ceived me cordially, although l may
have been the straw which threaten
ed to break the cameps back, mas
much as the house already contained
dozen strangers, and 1t looked as if
Mrs. Tolstoy was keeping a boarding
house. At nine o'clock dinner was
served, and l was led into the family
dining room, which is large apart
ment where signs of luxury are not
wanting. There are ancestral pOr-
traits upon the walls; piano stands
open, and looks well used; there is a
table covered by books and magazines
and then in the centers the large din
ing table, around which gathers host
Of people of strange faces and forms,
with unpronounceab BILE names. and
some with undiscovered histories. The
Countess sat at the head of the table.
To the left sat the Count, and before
him a kettle containing his favorite
kasha-the coarsest kind of peasants
food. He helped himself from this
freely. and somewhat carelessly, as a
man might who eats kasha three hun
dred and sixty-fve times In the year.
| sat next to the Count
1.-TWO servants waited on the table.
The meat was Of the Hamburg-steak
variety. The Count never eats meat;
kasha and two eggs constituted his
dinner. 1t must be over twenty years
since he has eaten meat, and probably
longer than that since he has tasted
LIQUOR or smoked tobacco.
There was mucn animated CONVEX
sation, jolly laughter and good-natur-
ed Joking, and the serious seemed to
be banished, for we ate, drank and
were merry, and l forgot that l was
sitting close to man with whom 1
had tried to settle the affairs of the
universe just short hour ago."

BRIDGE MATTER
THE ORDINANCE WENT OVER
TO THIRD READING IN
COUNCIL.
WHAT 1T ALL MEANS
The Bridge is Still Unchanged, and
The Subject is Still an Inn
portant One.

At council meeting last night the
ordinance declaring it to be unlawful
to maintain bridges over and across
Main street of less height than fifteen
feet and which is directed against the
c., c. & L. railroad bridge, was passed
to the third reading.
The question Is still a mooted one,
and delay in the matter is caused by
several reasons.
The /. & E. Traction company, it
is understood, will not accept any of
the cost of the change as their ex-
pense, and the matter is being de-
layed, thinking a change of heart
will be experienced.
The c., c. & L. railroad grade was
given by the city engineer, and there
you have It.

THE PENITENTIAL SEASON AL
MOST AT THE VERY
DOOR.
BAN ON SOCIAL AFFAIRS
Religious Services Will be Held Dur
ing the Season at the
Churches.

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the
first day of the penitential seasonal
time set apart for spiritual devotion
and the laying aside of pleasures for
period of seven weeks.
The season is observed in the
Catholic world more particularly than
any other, while the Episcopalians
and Lutherans observe it pretty gen
orally.
The Catholic church has banns that
the faithful are bound to respect I'M
der penalty Of shining. A fast and
an abstinence is imposed on those
who are bound to observe them All
persons under twenty-one and over
sixty years are exempt from OBJ
serving the fast of Lent.
Services will be held during the
week in all churches observing the
Lenten season.
Ash Wednesday derives its name
from the fact that ashes are blessed
on this day and placed on the fore
heads of the faithful who present
themselves at the churches with these
words: Remember, man, thou art
but dust, and unto dust thou shalt
return

A MILLION eggs
Laid Daily by Indiana Hens.

indianapolis, Ind, Feb 10 The
hen of Indiana is still unfailing IN
her duty to the commonwealth, if
figures which State Statistician b. i.
johnson has compiled tell the truth.
Mr. johnson has completed statistics
showing that the number of eggs laid
in Indiana during the past year was
50,297, 143 dozen.
Although the Indiana hen con-
tributed this number of eggs to the
states food supply, there were also
over million young chickens brood
ed by the motherly fowl, who found
time among her manifold duties to
raise a larger family than for the
previous ten years.
Over million eggs are laid daily
IN the state.

OLDEST GEOGRAPHY
Illinois Will Exhibit at the World S
Fair-Printed A. D. 100 It Makes
Statements That Seem Odd.

St. Louis, Feb. 16.-Illinois has as
sumed first place IN the contest OF

paper is heavy and the Typography is

leather and is we'll preserved.
One of the maps shows California to
be an island, and the description
agrees with the map. Another map is
labeled a "Map of Florida and the
Great Lakes of Canada 1t shows
the country that is now the United
