Mistaken for a FOOtman.

In her book, "A Southern Girl in 81"
just published Mrs. ID. Giraud Wright tells
a capital story about General John c.
Breckenridge of Kentucky. He was invited
by a certain woman of rank in London to
luncheon, The woman had just advertised
for footman. Mistaking the hour Cen
eral Breckenridge reached the house before
the appointed time and by some accident
was ushered into Lady Blanks presence
without being announced. The day was in
June. Owing 10 the heat the blinds were
drawn, letting in subdued light. Lady Blank,
glancing at the advancing figure, to the
establishment of the visitor, greeted him
thus:
Have you reference from your last
place."
The general took in the situation instantly
and, with a twinkle in his eye, unobserved
by the hostess. answered, respectfully,
Yes, my lady"
What were your duties?" was the next
query.

close them, to any little one who needs

alike TO the good sisters who are devoting
their lives 20 bringing the promise of
heaven and temporal happiness to the neg

institution is made home to the full ex-

pacity of the small waits who are cared

is no effort made at proselyting or coercion
in the matter OF religion. While relieving
the pitiable distress imposed on the inno-
cents in their charge, the sisters are alive
to the need for training the mind at the
earliest point where comprehension of good
and bad begins. The schooling afforded is
elemental, but it has the supreme merit of
being clean, wholesome and intoxicating a
wholesome reverence for the moral pre-

No Accidents Recorded.

Not an unpleasant incident nor an acct
dent married the work of the crest" and
it's success is admitted by all who gave it
any attention.
The world has been interested in babies
ever since Brother Noah was awarded the
contract to build the ark and prepare for
heavy rain. Poets have written about
them, humorists have given them every
consideration, sages have listened to them,
and the angels have whispered to them.
They are the ties that bind and the music
of the home. Great things have been said
and written about the hand that rocks the
cradle. Don't forget the babies" was
the thought in the minds of those who
planned the rest for babies at the Kings
Highway. The work has been commented
on by many and 1t is the intention to carry
out the scheme on a larger plan next year.
All connected with the booth feel their
labor was not spent in vain and that the
cause was a good one.

will do peoples hearts good to see. Young
women and men will vie with their elders
to whom charity has become second ma
ture, in accommodating the little and the
big coins which are NEEDED to make up the
purse necessary to pay off the orphanage
debt. The managers and controlling spirits
have given it out that they will be salts
fled with nothing less than the amount
that will relieve the Sisters of Mercy OF
their debt. The Orphanage must, they
say, be put in the position where it can
discharge to the very limit the duty IL
has taken upon itself to care for the de-
serted, the neglected and the helpless Of
this city of Omaha.
All indications seem to point to the real
ization of the fondest hopes of the sisters
and their enthusiastic friends. And when
this has been done Omaha folk, regardless
Of religious lines will have abundant cause

Origin of the Idea.

During the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival of 1904
Emil Brandeis, one of the present board OF
governors of the Knights of Ak-Sar- Ben,
noticed many tired mothers trudging up
and down the streets of the carnival
grounds with their little ones. 1t occurred
to Mr.. Brandeis that some special pro-
vision should be made at the annual street
fairs for the care of the babies and rest
or the mothers, so when the Kings High
way was started the rest room was opened.
The booth was commodious one, located
near the entrance of the Highway. One
room was fitted with cots and trundle beds
for the future rulers Of the Kingdom Of
ouivera, while another room was arranged
for the mothers of the little captains Of
industry. Small retiring rooms were fur

From a purely spectacular standpoint the
baby booth was one of the attractions OF
the Highway. The balmy weather per-
mitted opening the front OF the booth to
the public, with the result that thousands
stopped at the rest" and paid their COM
pliments to the tootsie- wootsies Here is a
partial description of some of the scenes
seen at the rest" Ina number of coy
cots and trundle beds are a dozen or more
babies sleeping soundly; over in one cor
ner a number, somewhat older and more
wide awake, are playing with toys. One
little boy tries to get all the toys and the
little folks begin their battle of life by
filing claims for the toys, some with lusty
yells, while others show they believe pos
session is nine points of the law. A kindly
nurse comes along and takes the little boy
who wants all the toys and places him
where he may play by himself and kick

From Tree to Newspaper

verted into a newspaper was tried recently.
At 7:S5 a. m. three trees were felled and
taken to a nearby paper factory. BY 9:S4

newspaper were about two miles distant.
The paper was carried there in a motor car
at full speed the presses set to work and
exactly at 10 a m. the newspaper was
ready printed. The whole process from the
forest to the reader thus only occupied the
space of two hours and twenty-five minutes.

attempted in this city The projectors ana
managers Of the fair have set a definite
point for their efforts and they express a
confident determination to reach that point
When they have done so they will have
achieved the elimination of an ambition
as worthy as any that ever inspired human
endeavor.
The object is to raise the necessary money
to clear heavy indebtedness from the line
property near the village of Benson known
as St. James Orphanage. This debt
amounts to something like $4,000 and It
acts as a drag and hindrance to the work
of which the institution is capable to such
an extent that the authorities in control of
the Orphanage have decided to get rid of IT,
For this purpose a nonsectarian committee
composed of almost three score of the lead
ing citizens Of Omaha, was formed, and
they in turn divided up into committees
having the various features and details OF
the fair in charge. All of the Catholic
churches of the city and about all the de-
nominations are represented In the person.
