Johnny Let Go.

President Roosevelt, on one Of his hunt
ing tours in the Adirondacks. spent a very
long day in restless pursuit OF big game.
By the time success had finally justified
the chase, he made the discovery that he
was very hungry man. At hts urgent
request, the guide conducted the party
to the nearest inn the wilderness afforded.
The journey was not n brief one, and, by
the time the hostelry was reached, Mr.
Roosevelt was still more hungry.
When informed that the only fare OBJ
tainable at the establishment was eorned
beef and cabbage, relates Success. invol-
UNFAIRLY he made use OF the expression
which has long been famous:
'Delighted"
Amusement was created In the presi-
Dental party when the chief executive.
whose identity had been kept a secret was
given a seat at the family board. II was
increased when the huge portions of corned
beef and cabbage was passed from the
head OF the table where sat the host. The
first plate TO make It's appearance was
heaped very high. II reached a small boy
and got no further. The president sighed
to express his envy and disappointment
"Johnny" exclaimed the host, sharply
'thet bent fer youi thet be fer the
stranger"
Much to the amusement OF all the presi-
dent seized the rim of the plate on one sIds
while Johnny held to the other.
There was a moment Of doubt.
Then the president. softly and, with g

There are small youngsters who can make

A scholar and traveller of bygone CEN

questionable statement that the hearts of
1900 boys were offered in sacrifice yearly.
The heart OF every boy In Omaha and
throughout the great cities OF the United
States is to some extent sacrificed when
he cannot have healthful play. 1t Is the
belief OF all who have studied the subject
that young hearts become ossified and throb
small for high endeavor when pleasurable
exertion along the bent Of play is prevented
from any cause.

rights covering the United States. Mexico
and Cuba and all OF the West Indies other

rector. Of the company describes its pur-
poses In the New York Evening Post;
'The huge initial cost Of converting
steam railroads on this side OF the Allan
tic has been a stumbling block TO the
various arrangements considering change
of motive power. The installation Of the
three-phase system costs about 10 per
cent less than that of direct current, which
is the prevailing mode OF electric traction
so far installed by the large American
electrical companies. Another important
claim made for the three-phase system is
that Il is the only method which provided
for reeuperation of power on down grades.
In other words, the power usually wasted
in braking and eoasting down grades IL
by this system returned to the line as
useful energy for handling other trains.

by mechanical braking.
THE most striking illustration of the
three-phase system is the sixty-fve mile
Valtellina line Of the Italian State rail-
ways. which has been inspected by cleo
trical experts from all over the world
The operating cost has been reduced by
upwards OF 80 per cent over steam loco
motive operation, which was formerly the
power Used"
Negotiations were stated to be under way
with one OF the large trunk lines looking
toward the conversion Of part Of its road
into electric motive power by the Ganz

While in ancient days children could play
with woody rhinoceroses and draw pictures
in stone caves during rough weather, they
demanded wider chances for doing things
and undoubtedly got them. In our day

is a darling for girl, but they will not
sufflce. To run and romp, and shout and

Only the other night Omahas first public
playground was opened. 1t is nothing much
to look at, but it typifies good and un-
selfish work by earnest bodies OF men and
women. And 1t may be mentioned that
the money spenders for this initial EFFORT

little ones were the members OF the Wo-
mans club. Time and materials were con-
tributed in quite generous measure by men,
but the women put up the coin, to the ex-

in the satisfaction OF witnessing the good
they have done.
