FAIR EXCHANGE IN WAF
A Yankees "Guessing" Gets the
Better of a sOutherner'S
"ReckoninR.o

1t is satisfying 10 the soul occasionally
TO return a favor in the same coin. In the
following incident, told by Mr.. Putnam in
his History OF the Twenty-FIfth Massa-
chusetts Regiment, !" such an exchange took
place, the Yankees guessing getting the
better OF the southerner's reckoning"
Private Anderson was a tall Yankee re-
cruit. on one occasion he was taken pris-
oner in a thick fog. 1t was his habit 10
carry a small hatchet in his belt, and one
Of the first things his captors said to him
was.
We'll, Yank, 1 reckon wen take that
Ratchet"
II suppose you will, Johnny" said Andcr-
son, giving up the weapon,
AS Anderson was being marched off in
order TO Join the captors' company he
noticed that they had completely lost their
way in the fog.
Look here, Johnnies," he remarked,
coolly. II was over this ground this very
morning; I know where we are and where
your men are, I'll show you, Come on!'
and he led off.
The confederates followed, and in less
than two minutes Anderson had led them
into the hands OF the federals. They saw
the Joke, but did not enjoy II.
Now, Johnny" said Anderson, II guess
I'll take the Ratchet"

WHAT CLUB WOMEN ARE DOING
General Federation May Begin Anti
DIVOrc Legislation AgItR-
ton.

The resolutions on divorce presented by
the outlook committee Of the General Fed
Grafton of Women's clubs to the Boston
biennial promise to afford a definite work
ing basis for the women on this much agi-
tated reform. The plan as presented by
Miss Harriet Lake of Iowa, chairman of
the committee, provides that persons con-
templating marriage shall be required to
register their intentions at least a year be-
fore they are allowed to marry. This the
women would make a legal Formally Just
as the securing of a marriage license Is.
Miss Lake argued that the great majority
of divorces are the result of hasty mar
riages and that II people were required to
wait a year after becoming engaged, the
divorce problem would practically be
solved. OF course, the committee advo-
Gates uniformity in the observance Of such
a law and II the federation takes up the
agitation of this movement the work will
be carried on by state committees and
state legislation will be asked by every
federation. This is the plan by which the
women have accomplished so much In the
way of reform legislation. They are not
blind to the many evils that might result
from this years enforced delay in mar
riage, but they contend that they can be

present system.
The divorce problem was first taken up
In the biennial at st. Louis in 1904, when a
resolution condemning 1t was passed and
consistent with this action the convention
also eliminated from its roll of honorary
presidents a former president Of the Gen.
eral Federation who had been married a
short time before TO a divorced man. Re
p~eatedly in the past divorced women of SUI
perior ability have come out as candidates
for offices in the General Federation, but
regardless of services they might have
rendered or their qualifications for the Of
fices sought they have, with scarcely an
exception, been put aside by a majority so
significant that few so defeated have ever
come before the convention IN this way q
second time. 1t must be said, to the credit
of these same women, however, that few
of them have withdrawn their support
from the federation because it has denied
them offices.

An out-of-door fair for the benefit of the
Visiting Nurses association is one of the
most promising diversions to which society
has to look Onward. While the date has
not yet been definitely fixed, Tany of the
details nave been arranged and the affair
Is altogether the most pleasing prospect
IF the near future. 1t is to be held IN the
spacious grounds Of the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Victor Caldwell, on South Twentieth
Itreet, and all sorts OF amusement will be
provided. There will be a brass band, a
barn dance in the barn. a vaudeville per-
iormance and other equally attractive
Ihings for the grown-ups, and ponies and a
fish pond for the children. Homemade
,akes and candles and other goodies will
be for sale, and the whole affair will be
under the direction Of some of Omaha's
most prominent society women, assisted by
u bevy OF younger women.

The general breaking up that always fol
lows the Fourth has already commenced
and another fortnight will find society
scattered for the summer. A half dozen
prominent families left last week and as
many more will depart this week for sum-
mer places or resorts in the mountains, at
the lakes or the scashore. Fully a score
OF houses in the west end have been closed
until autumn, while as many country places
In the vicinity OF Omaha have been opened
for the summer occupancy Of families that
prefer remaining nearer home. Another
fortnight n it will be practically impossi-
BILE to get any one set together. Even the
bridge clubs are not meeting regularly ard
for the few meetings attempted recently the
"guests"-a term synonymous with sub
stitutes'' for the summer-outnumbercd the
members present.

The clubs, the Country and the Automo-
bile, all contribute to society's celebration
OF the Fourth. OF course the Country
clubs attracted the largest crowds, but
there were many picnic parties of from one
to four or five automobiles of congenial
spirits that started early in the morning
spending the day at quiet spots in the
country and returning in time for a dance
or two at some Of the clubs. Everybody
had something on. The little folks re-
ceived unusual attention and several bach
elor uncles and a]unties, who are very mucl
in demand, gave up the whole afternoon to
Shooting off" fire crackers or torpedoes
for small nephews and nieces, brothers or
sisters. Special features were provided at
all the clubs and all were well attended.
