Cutoff lake through the Rod and Gun

such as have never been offered on this
side OF the river before. The little colony
Inside the grounds in cottages and tents
is altogether jolly and the weeks end
takes numerous parties out to enjoy the
lake and the fun It affords. The moonlight
nights of the past week have occasionei
scores OF boating and sailing parties that
usually close with the informal hop at
the club house, Several Of the best sal;
boats have been brought over from Lake
Manawa, and sailing and canoeing have
attained a popularity that they have never
enjoyed before.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-12

The calendar is short this week and in
cludes only a few functions OF promise.
This does not indicate that society is to
find things dull however for the picnic,
the sailing party and other impromptu
affairs are TO be depended upon, and then,
there are to be two circuses in town this
week, and everybody knows society fairly
dotes on circuses. .

Game of Precedence.

Precedence, with its thousand grad
uations, is more discussed in Wash
ington than in Vienna or Madrid, and
in the capital of democracy where
such things are ostensibly decried,
snobbishness and struggle for social
place are marked by the abandonment
of all ideas of democracy and even
decency. 4
Senators and Representatives laugh
at our Vanity Fair" but the question
of social precedence seems a serious
one to their wives, many of whom
are obsessed with the idea that as
each one climbs the social ladder, it
is her imperative duty to put obstacles
in the social path of the ones just
below. The game is cruel and heart
less. 1t has nothing in it of morals
or the brotherhood of man.
The new and strange standards of
royal etiquette which have been es-
tablished at Washington mean strange
and unmilitary duties for army and
navy officers, which are not only fool
ish, but abhorrent to old-fashioned
democratic ideas.-Boston Traveller.

EVERYTHING PAID BY CHECK.

81 like the American custom of car
rying money loose in the pocket" said
D. H. Lieban. a retired banker of Lon
don. In England gentlemen and
business men carry very little money
with them. Nearly everything is paid
for by check. except. of course, money
enough to nav the small incidental ex-
penses Of day.
IF a man goes into store to buy a
hat he does not pay money for 1T, but
gives a check. If he is dining at
public place he very likely pays for
his meal with a check. The system Of
credit in England is different from
that of this country, and the mere
fact that a man has an account in a
hank serves to give him standing.
"One cannot open an account with
a. bank in England merely by carrying
money to the bank and depositing It..
He must have two firstclaSs refer
ences before a bank will accept his
account, and when reference is given
it means that the person giving it
would indorse or stand for the person
to whom it is given.
"A reference in England means
more than a mere phrase. Checks on
banks in England cannot be obtained
for the mere asking, and a man must
have an account in order to get checks
from any bank. They cannot be pick
ed I'D on bank counters or in public
places.
"Private accounts in English banks
are not accepted unless they are paid
for, the general charge being $50 a
wear. There are one or two banks in
England which discriminate so care
fully in the accounts they accept that
when a person is fortunate enough to
be permitted to open an account with
them he can get credit in any city in
England or the Continent of Europe"

What the Bow Wanted.

A boy picked up bit of dried

It was an action that must have ap-

stout lady, who was passing with a

She opened a silver-meshed hand
bag blazoned with gold initials, and
went toward the boy. She didn't give
him money, however, for just then he
fitted the peel into a bean shooter
and sent it whizzing toward another
boy a few yards ahead. The really
