spread-EaeIeism Mocked,

Philadelphia Record.
Frenchmen are fond Of dramatics and
attitudinizing, but the banal spread
eagleisms with which America resounded
recently, when two men came out of tho
icy north, seem to have shocked even the
undeveloping French sense of propriety.
The telegram from Battle Harbor in which
the gift Of the North pole was offered to
President Taft has ELECTED from the
duke of Orleans, himself a traveller of
scientific note, this question: what would
you think Of a French explorer IL you were
to see him, his brow dripping with per-
spiration, telegraphing to the president OF
the French republic: Monsieur. I have the
honor to place at you disposal the
equator? Our spread-eagleisms are not
dramatic; they partake Of the character
Of opera bouffe.

NOT LIKE THE
FANNIE LAURIE" DAYS
SOnGS Are Born, Live and Die
In a Few Short Months
Now

Singers didn't set such a swift pace
in the days when Annie Laurie" was
written.
In those days II took years to popu-
larize a song-now a song hit" Is made
lover night" and the public demands
copies OF It next day" so that the ditty
may be warbled in the homes at once.
Omaha was prone to be a bit slow in
this RESPECT, until the A Hospe Co.. of
1913 Douglas St., made arrangements
with Americas leading publishers and
omaha's theatrical managers, to offer
the latest. catchiest hits" over the
counters the very day they are sung in
the theaters here.
In consequence one has all Of this
weeks songs right before him at this
moment, as follows:
The songs offered at Boyd's theatre
by Richard earle in "Mary's Lamb" are:
IT Idolize Ida" when Number One
Meets Number Two" "Betsy's The Belle
Of The Bathers;' Love Is Elusive;' and
MY Madagascar Maid"
The ditties that are tickling Orpheum
audiences are: "Oh What 1 Know About
YOU Abraham Lincoln JONES' Down
Among the Sugar Cane" and a Am
Going to DO as 1 Please"
the clever songs otfered at the Bur
wood theRter by Lew Dockstader will also
be in evidence here tomorrow morning,
while all Of the best things in Bert Will
Hams Mr.. Lode Of Kole" nave been
reordered and include such titles as: The
Christening The Harbor OF Lost

"Chink Chink Chinaman."

A fine lesson in the unconquerable
power Of science and industry is af.
forded In the victory of a Pennsylva-
MIA coal president over a mine fire
that had burned for fifty years, con-
Stunning 100000 tons. In order to
save 100000 900 other IONS a wall
twelve feet thick, 1850 feet long and
IT'S feet deep in the earth was con
structedr eneotually shutting Of and
smothering the fire. This in it's way
is a greater wonder and, to all prac,
tical purposes. a greater achievement
than the great wall OF China, For
overcoming obstacles seemingly in
superable American ingenuity is ire,
sistible.

Uniformity in smaIIness.

Philadelphia Ledger.
The effort Of the Department Of Agri,
culture through its board of food and
drug inspection, to establish regulations
that shall insure to the purchaser the
weigh and volume Of drugs and food he
pays for, is commendable. No one looks
for or expects great exactitude in such a
matter, but the variation from accuracy
should be a reasonable one and not uni
formly to the disadvantage of the con,
sumer. OF course, bottles cannot always
be blown of uniform capacity, but the
public has the right to ask that with them,
as with boxes, and other containers, they
shall not be made uniformly too small for
the size they are supposed to represent.

why they Dislike Pinchot.

Kansas City Times.
Here is an Instance Of the sort of thing
Clifford Pinchot is fighting to stop:
The title for the site on which is To-
Gated the dam for the reservoir that sup
plies the city of Denver with water was
obtained by entering the site as a build
ing site claim, This claim was sold by the
government to the patentee for a few
hundred dollars. Its value is enormous.
All through the country big corporations
are trying to acquire sites for dams with
out paying for them. Pinchot has blocked
the game for the present. That's why the
big corporate interests would like to get
rid Of the chief of the forestry bureau.

One place where Omaha can yet
make quite an advance is in keeping
streets clear for the line of march of a
duly authorized parade. With 100
foot streets and twenty-foot sidewalks
on each side there ought to be room
for all the spectators without encroach-
ing on the roadway. This applies also
to the intrusion Of vehicles against
whom the line of march streets ought
to be absolutely closed between speci-
fled hours announced in advance.

A very interesting manifestation took
place last month when a de%putation Of the
Czechs OF Bohemia visited the capital Of
the extinct kingdom Of Poland, Warsaw.
There they were received by the Poles as
by an Independent power, and the speeches
which celebrated the occasion alluded
frankly to vast combinations looming on
the horizon Of European politics. 1t was
indeed the first occasion in 100 years Of the
Poles being permitted to speak as a self
possessed people, and for this reason the
ceremonies have attracted wide notice.

idea of dying nations" comments the New

is becoming doubtful. The latest born indl-

ADJUSTING LOSSES.

Mr. NJ. CAVITY, an old time hail ad-
juster who is connected with the St..
Paul Fire. and Marine, has been in
the city for day or so consulting
with State Agent E. c. Cooper Mr..
Canty says the hail losses in the
state this year have been considerable
and in some sections there have been
many total losses. A good many farm
ers in the state do not believe in hail
insurance and their crops are fire.
quently wiped out, leaving them with
nothing to show for their years
work. The old line companies insure
for a maximum of $40 an acre, and
the farmers may insure to that
amount in each of the several COM
panies. In case of a total loss, he
gets the maximum for which he Is
insured from each of the companies.
There is no moral hazard in a hail
loss, as there is in the fire insurance
business, and the whole business Of
hail insurance Is a sort of gamble
in which the farmer pays for immun-
ity from the chance of losing his crop.
Some of the losses are pretty big
ones, and one settled the other day
involved total payment by the COM
pany of nearly $4,000 on one farm.
There is a good deal Of difference
between the condition of the farmers
who are hailed out and get checks for
$4,000, and the ones who are hailed
out and get nothing. On one town
ship of land in Burleigh county this
year there were only about two quar-
tiers that were not struck by hail, and
the wheat was 80 rank at the time Of
the hail that the loss was practically
total on most of the fields, and the
threshers show little or no grain in
the heads

THREE WEEKS"
Widely Discussed Book in Dramatic
Form Coming Here Soon.

The atmosphere upon which the
romance. Wrong doings, when
touched with some elements Of reas-
on, atonement or vivid interest, has
an undeniable appeal. This is the
secret of success Of Elinor Gyms
own dramatization of her remarkable
book, "Three Weeks" No book ever
written has aroused so much discus
sion on both sides of the Atlantic
ocean, as this story, and the same
may be said of the play, which diff
fers somewhat from the book, mas
much as a prologue has been inter-
polated, which shows the home of
the Queen of Sardalia and introduces
the character of her drunken and
vicious husband, thereby offering a
motive for the subsequent actions.
The romance, poetry, philosophy and
truth of the greatest of human emo
lions, love, are all portrayed in this
book play, and to those who can and
will understand what play means,
"Three Weeks" will teach some i'm
pressive and lasting lessons. And
with all. this, it has amusement and
entertainment. Miss Beryl Hope,
one of the most attractive women
of the stage and an emotional actress
of rare quality, will portray "The
Lady" of the story. Ernest Glen
denning will give a convincing per-
Torrance Of Paul. Miss Lillian
Rhodes has been entrusted with the
role of Anna, the faithful lady-in-
waiting to the Queen and lends dig
nifty and strength to the cast. Other
players who will give efficient sup
port are Miss Clara Lamar. Frank
J. Kirk, Sydney Price, VIM. T. Chat
terton, w. J. Mcconnell, Chas. Mon
creif, r. H. Thomas, W. T. Hayes,
Albert Douall and VIM. Casey. The
play is presented with special seen
cry and effects, showing beautiful
scenes of old Europe The second
act showing 1.-THE Feast of the
Roses at Venice, being especially
notable for it's beauty. '"rhree
Weeks will be the offering at the
Biiou Theater for one night, Tues
day, August 81, and much interest
is shown in its coming, largely no
doubt, owing to the fact that Elinor
Glyn is travelling with the company
for a brief trip.
