MUSIC FOR CHOIR PICNIC
Advertising II II the Custom of the
All Saints Singers Each
Year.

At least one picnic had all the music
advertised when it is held each year. The
outing of All Saints church choir holds
this distinction.
The choir held its picnic at Manawa yes
terday afternoon and evening, leaving the
Paxton hotel on a special car at 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon, with Father" ]. H.
Simms in charge, and J. M. Guild, the pio-
neer choir picnic manager, as master OF
ceremonies and keeper Of the vivers. Being
a S~cotchman, Mr.. Guild wanted a royal
haggis, the king of the pudding race, for
the picnic dinner, but the weather was too
hot toiboil a hAggis properly.
The dinner was served at the Kersaal
during the evening. Previous to this the
members of the choir did stunts about tho
beach. w. S. Rigdon tried his voice under
water and members of the party declare
1t could be heard plainly on shore. Charles
s. Haverstock filled his mouth with chuckie
stanes and deepened his base. Miss Barr
and Mrs. Helgren are said TO have split
sails halfway across the lake when they
entertained the party with a duet.
There were twenty-five in the party and
the nnual picnic was one Of the most
successful which the choir has had. the
weather being favorable.

JUROR RECEIVERS AND SPolLS
NOVEL PLAN OF ATTORNEYS
A. l.. Root Back on Job and Laura

A. L. Root. the sick Juror in the Laura
Porter case, was able to appear this morn.
ing and the case was resumed at $50 in
district court. Judge Baker closed for the
defendant, with County Attorney English
following him.
Had Root not recovered sufficiently to
finish the case, the attorneys for the de-
PENDANT had a novel proposition to make.
It was that the case go on with eleven
men and their verdict be found. This YER
dict would not in a criminal case be bind

the eleven-man jury found her not guilty,
the county attorney should enter a nolle
II guilty, the woman would be made to
plead guilty in a formal retrial.
Judge Baker spoke until 1i:a0 In behalf
of the defendant. He illustrated the blows
which had fallen upon Dempsey by having
Deputy Sheriff Osborn stretch his not in
considerable length upon a table In the
court room with his nose buried in a die
tionary which was to represent the pillow
on the couch.
The character of the dead man came In
for a terrific attack based upon the evil
dence introduced by the defense that Demp-
sey had forced the girl into a life OF shame.
When County Attorney English took the
floor he fell upon two negroes who had been
friends of Dempsey and indebted to him
in various ways and who mad denounced
Dempsey in their testimony.
The case will not go to the Jury until
late in the afternoon.

SMILE BRINGS IN THE MONEY
Good Fortune for Afflicted Flows
from Picture of "snntl-
inR JOe."

Smiling Joe" the called him when
he was taken from the east side to he
hospital at Sea Breeze. Long Island. four
years ago, and Smiling Joe' he has been
ever since. When the little fellow went
TO the hospital with a bal cLse of
tubercular spinal trouble he was only 8
years old. Thsy put him in a plaster
cast and fastened him to a board 81 that
for months he could only move his arms
and head.
And yet Joe kept on smiling. He mad
commenced by smiling, and he intended
fini Shing that way.
One day q photographer came to the
hospital and took Joe's picture, which
was published in several magazines and
papers throughout the country-a pic
ture Of Joe fastened securely in his east,
but always smilin5-nnd the appealing
face in its pitiful setting began to draw
attention to the work of the society
which had founded the hospital ana 10

OF giving money.
Joe has, in fact, not only been largely
responsible for the support Of the thir y
nine other childr IN who are always be-
ing taken care of. but lie is also RESPONSE
BILE for the new t25O,O0O hospital which
Is 10 be erected in the near future.
Consequently II was no more than ut
ting that there should be festivities Iii
honor Of Joe's departure. For jos is
cured. and can walk and run about like
ether children, and now, in his 7th year.
he is to return to his family and begin
life in the real world.
"Joe has been the success Of our work"
explained Manager Townsend to Il re-
porter. Hospitals to cure tub9rcular
bone troubles are common in Europe, hut
there has never been one here until this
experimental hosr ital was founded four
years ago. IL is a w~ell-known fact that
children whO suffer from tIbercular
troubles benefit by sea air. .In1 this is
mainly why we give them.
when Joe first came there his snill-
ing picture became famous and money
has come to US from all over the country
on account OF It. 1t was Joe who Induced

NO FIRE WARDEN IN OMAHA
Legislatures BIunder Ties Hands of
the Mayor in the Appoint
ment of One.

Failure OF the Legislature to make an
appropriation and deficiencies in the de-
partmental funds will prohibit Mayor Dahl
man from appointing a fire warden for
Omaha, as ordered by q new state law.
The new law is the result of a bill intro
duced last winter by Representative Walter
p. Thomas. and under 1t the mayor is en-
powered to appoint a fire warden July l, to
serve for three years.
The general fund contains but a little
more than SO and the fire fund is in such
shape that the wages of member of the
fire department had to be reduced to those
which have prevailed in the past, so the
mayor says IL is out of the question to
appoint a fire warden this year, The new
law specifies that the duties OF the fire
warden shall not conflict with those Of the
chief of the fire department.
