Bishop Potter tells a story of young
minister who came to grief while deliver
ing his first sermon.
He had dressed under a great deal Of
excitement previous to entering the church
and neglected TO fasten his necktie down

During the course OF his sermon the
tie gradually slipped UP over his collar,
until nearly every one in tho congregation

radiantly at the situation. Concluding his
remarks the young minister, sparring for

Beauty Spots Around Omaha.
II is no exaggeration to say that painter
has never spread on canvas more entranc-
ing views for the real lover OF nature than
may be found at many spots within close
reach. And none Of these haunts of out
door beauty are far enough away from the
car lines TO necessitate a fatiguing walk
All are quite handliy located, accessible
and safe day and night.
Passengers in and out on the Benson
line will readily recall some of the de-
lights that greet the eye at almost every
turn. There are few more satisfying pros
poets lying out of doors than those offered
at the Country club. The comfortable
looking mansion, with appropriate and IN
pnessive settings, suggests leisure and yet
is redolent Of Joyous life. With its we'll

to look at. The passerby on the street
car may enjoy all the pleasures of the
place indirectly and will hardly tire of the
views that open to his admlring gaze at
every new turn of the track.
That retreat OF sylvan loneliness, Bemis
park. is also on this line. and for its extent
is one Of the very prettiest parks to be
found anywhere. Located in the midst of
a residence section, 1t yet has all the ear
marks OF natures own handiwork. To look
through Bemis park to the high ground be-
yond, where handsome homes are sur
rounded by generous lawns, is to get a
glimpse of summer fairyland. And even in
winter this spot presents pictures for the
eye that are dazzling almost beyond de-
scriptlon.
After passing Bemis the traveller may
feast his eye on a real farm in city sur
roundings. There are forty acres Of ROLL
