The Sailing of Columbus.

BY Bruce 7. Cunningham. Aged Years,
Omaha. Red Side.
Bidding goodbye to our friends we got
in our ships and sailed westward. Our
ships cut through the waves, which were
not bit calm. The wind that blew from
the east did not change, but kept us going
in our direction.
On we Sped Yes, the weeks went by one,
two three and then the fourth. When no
land appeared our men grew very gloomy.
One very dark night as their leader,
Christopher Columbus, and his messmate
were reading In his cabin Columbus broke
the silence by saying, My men were once
SO bold and full of hope. oh, what shall I
do?" The men out on the deck heard this
and all you could hear the following week
were faint whispers saying, When shall
We see our homes again2"
One night thick clouds hung over the sea
and a fierce storm arose. The waves rolled
and the wind came in great gusts, but still
we drove before the storm for three days
and nights. Then a lighter rain fell and
the wind ceased.
The next day as one of our men was
looking through his marine glass over the
trackless ocean his eyes fell upon something
which was fluttering around our ship. He
then uttered few words, dropping at his
feet when he said them. The words that
hs spoke were these: II have not seen a
more welcome sight The bird must have
come from land" So afterwards 1t was
known that land was not very far away
for all that knew it myself
This was not true, for we saw no land

Bob Is our horse. He Is very gentle.
One day as my cousin, Elsa and we're

fences on both sides, and the road was
narrow. II Bob would have taken one

 Mrs Scott faces the situation plcidly and with calm confidence: She declares that the promises of that the convention will adjourn with a new record for harmony.
 Though in their resolutions. the in surgents- address their grievances against the administration they ad- init that the move is simply a slap at the president-general.
 Mrs. Scott, they allege, has abso- lute1y disregarded the constitution in placing on the most important com rnittees those daughters of her fac ton who were defeated for places up on the board of managers. The in- surgents planned at the first possible moment to present to the convention a resolution calling for a change of rules in this matter. If this move is successful the radicals will then make an effort to displace Mrs. Scott as president general.
 President Taft today lodged another attempt to bring him out on the won1- ans suffrage question, when he ap- peared to make the welcoming address to the D. A. R., in their 18th con- tinental Congress. PreSident-General Mrs. Matthew T. Scott introduced the President by saying:
