restaurant mans luck is the fact that the
old-time American plan hotel has given
away to the European plan house. where
cafe and rooms are distinct propositions
The man in search of a quick lunch would
never think Of going to an American plan
hotel, yet IL comes perfectly natural for
him to slide into European plan cafe This
puts the hotels, originally supposed to cater
only to transients, In direct competition
with the quick lunch restaurant. which
depends largely upon the home people who
work down town In office buildings.
Clubs and institutions OF various kinds
are now taking on more and more OF the
restaurant life from time to time and this
takes away from the higher class restaur-
ant business, Where there was one clob
with feeding attachment In Omaha a dozen
years ago. there is now five or six, and
it is becoming quite the fad in Omaha, as
well as all other larger cities, for the big
department stores to serve luncheon.

the generations which come after us, may,
from these archives gather and profit by
the history of our times, as we have gath
cred knowledge and instruction from the
history of the ages that have gone be-
fore us.
state historical societies collect and pre-
serve the historical incidents and records
which are the wells from which spring
forth the intellectual and spiritual growth
OF our people, just as sculpture and art
are the elimination of historical sequences
The interests which these societies repre-
sent are the foundation upon which the
states rest and the nation Is maintained.
A reverence for the valuable materials
gathered by these historical societies is
one of the strongest moral influences that
can be inculcated in our people Upon an
appreciation of what shall be gathered
there rests the spirit, the loyalty and the
patriotism of the generations. Historical
knowledge is positive force in moulding
public opinion and is now, as 1t ever has
been, the source of presidents Of our
Institutions of justice.
The older nations of the continent of
Europe, such as France, England, Germany
and Italy. long since learned the wisdom
of bringing home to the understanding of
the common people an appreciation of the
memorable events in their national his
tories by means of works of art The great
historic truths which the mind can take
In while the eye is resting upon dream
OF beauty either in the wonderful work
produced by the sculpter's chisel, or in
figure OF beauty, dressed in robes of color
by the artists brush, are lasting and per-
suasive. 1t is a happier method of nstruc-
ton than the wearisome labor of searching
through the storehouse of archives. Amer
lea, too, is fast learning this method of
teaching history and within the last few
years its history is being immortalized in
marble and bronze and painting The
ational greatness of the republic is being
symbolized in memorials on its public
buildings Our monuments in figures OF
bronze and in chiseled marble are daily re-
minders of our achievements in war and in
peace.
Our state historical buildings should be
the best that architectural skill can fashion
and construct. Their adornments should be
the best that art and sculpture can produce
to symbolic and immortallze the states
history.
Art is as true a record of a nation s
progress as a scroll. and pictorial impress
sons are oftentimes greater than the writ
ten word. The older civilization of the old
world is represented in her priceless mas
terpieces, and such are more influential
upon the national spirit and character than
speeches and books.
1 would have the exterior of our state
historical buildings ornamented in scup-
tural conceptions of the states beginning,
Of its progress in learning, and in science,
and in it's commercial development.
Historical societies are treasure houses
OF history. Their interior walls should be
decorated with mural paintings, as is the
congressional library. representing the his
tory of the state. These buildings should

Box In Drug store,

mo, sir, times ain't what they used to
be-" sighed the old restaurant man, as he
punched the cash register absent-mindedly
and rang up mo sale"
Talk about evolution! Seems to me the
restaurant business has evoluted more than
any other line of trade-but 1t has gone the
wrong way for me and the men of my
type. People eat just as much as they
ever did-perhaps more, for money Is plent-
ful-but they don't conf!ne their eating to
restaurants as they did in former years.
Time was when the busy clerk at noon
time, unable to spare time for lunch at
home dashed into the nearest restaurant,
seated himself on a high stool at the coun-
ter, and for 10 cents got slab of roast
beef a cup of coffee, potatoes and pie Tow
for the same luncheon ne must pay 80 to
10 cents-still more than that, If he hap
pens to fall into one of the higher-toned
places, and the chances are that he doesn
go to a restaurant at all. More likely he
drops into the corner drug store and orders
cup Of coffee, bowl of soup and a
chicken sandwich.
Drug stores serving sandwiches Sounds
funny doesn't It? Yet that new angle of the
feeding game is part of the evolution of
the restaurant Some people say the Chris
tlan Scientists and the osteopaths have
made inroads upon the work of the pre-
scription clerk. l am neither a scientist,
osteopath or druggist so l am not good
authority on the why's and wherefores, but
casual observation has shown me that the
prescription business isn't as brisk as it
used to be. The drug stores make just as
much money, perhaps, they occupy loca-
tions just as good or better than ever be-
fore, and they employ more help than
formerly-but they keep the help busy
spreading minced ham on daintlly carved
bread, rather than in compodnding drugs.
The old-time drug store devoted the greater
part OF its space to shells on which stood
row after row of bottles bearing Latin I'M
scriptions Nowadays, the main part OF
the drug store is in the middle of the
ROOM where a steamng. coffee urn and a
bread board and soda fountain are housed
behind a counter of beautiful onyx or some
other costly material.

other public officials should continue to
gather the taxes, which, are paid in rice,
and should continue to hold vast stores of
this tribute of rice for the uses of the gov
eminent when the people are starving.
The government ordered the cessation of
exports of rice from the province but
foreign influence was sufficiently powerful
in the interest Of trade, to cause several
postponements of this proposition. The
stock of rice was thus depleted by reason
of foreign commercial activity and foreign
political influence.
SThe people have no direct means of at
lacking the government, but they have
found by experience that foreign govern
ments are quick to resent the destruction
of foreign property, and they know that
the foreign powers will hold the govern
ment officials to strict accountability.
Therefore, 1t occurs to the Chinese mind
that the quickest way to get rid of an
Objectionable official who is stingy with
his stores of rice, is to destroy foreign
property in that officials jurisdiction.
Hence the burning of missions and the at
lacks on the property of foreigners. Thus
far, the riots this year have been attacks
upon property only. and not upon life.
The danger is, however, that the latent
animosity for all foreigners thus awakened
by purely local conditions cannot be
curbed even by the leaders of the
movement. It is natural for the Chinese,
when dissatisfied with the government
administration. to give ear TO the argu-
ments OF those agitators who. oppose the
continuation Of the rule of the Manchu
dynasty. 1t is equally natural for the
Manchus, which Is to say the imperial
government to attempt to divert an anti
dynastio movement into an anti-forelgn
outbreak.
The great Boxer rebellion began as an
organised movement for the overthrow Of
the Msnohu dynasty. The late empress
dowager the head of the Manchus,
cleverly captured the movement and
changed it into an open war on foreigners
in behalf of the imperial throne. The
disastrous results Of the Boxer rebellion,
including the sacking of Picking and the
violation of the Forbidden City. worked a
change in the attitude of the Chinese mind
toward the western civilization, but It did
not increase the Chinese regard for occi-
dentals.
Since the Boxer war hundreds OF Chinese
newspap ers have been established In all
parts of the empire. The great majority
of these papers are violently radical and
they afford a vehicle for agitation never
before available in China. On account OF
the wonderful growth OF the Chinese press,
It is now possible for a political movement
to spread quickly over the entire empire.
This is a new and important element Of
danger.
That the recent anu-fOreign riots have
resulted in an anti-dynastic movement Is
proved by the fact that huge organiza-
ton has been effected in the neighbour
hood OF Marking. The members of this
organization are wearing a distinctive
badge, and they make their anti Manchu
aim public by cutting off their queues.
The Chinese queue is the symbol of sub
mission inflicted upon the Chinese people
by their Manchu eonQuerors and to Gu,

of their gradual extinction. Here in the
west we can see, and we can feel, going on
around and about us, a transition in his

But while to us one race OF people is be-

the beginning of the creation of a new

western population; an amalgamation of
Norweglans, Of Swedes, of Danes, of Irish
men, Of Germans, of Frenchmen and OF

found the mental and physical character

-. ISTORY is as much a natural in
VRRI stinct of the human mind as is
the belief in a spiritual over
ruling providence. All races,
I6RtXk1H however barbarous or uncivil-
1QnAW tied or uncultured have at
tempted some form of recorded history.
Long before the age of letters or the art OF
writing, the tribes that wandered in olden
times upon the banks OF the Nile, at
tempted the recording of history in hero
Rlypics. The Astecs, so ancient that no
man knows their beginning, and who dis
appeared In the face of a conquering race
of people, attempted an unsubstantial form
VI history by inscription and Clkde pyra-
mids. In the mounds OF North America
there were found historic evidences OF pre-
historic tribes OF Indians, the fact of whose
prior existence would not have become
known to the ehnologlst and antiquarian
and the historian had they not attempted
to perpetuate in this rude manner their his
tory.
l care not whether the people were red
or brown or white. Cept or Copt they have
all striven to avoid a dark and mysterious
oblivion and to link their lives and history
with the eternity that was to come after
them.
History does not consist alone in the
frgid recital Of cold facts There is that in
history which appeals to the Imagination.
1t is the romance OF the lives of men who
were engaged in the stirring events of the
period in which they lived. 1t Is the re-
cital OF the transactions and creations of
men and peoples and nations. 1t is the
condensation into general declarations of
the materials found in the thousands of
biographies. For ages 1t has been the field
from which novelists have gathered the
material for their romances Without the
history Of England and Scotland we would
have not had those beautiful pen pictures
that run through the historical novels of
that genius of Scotland, Sir Walter Scott,
ronances which have furnished abundant
instruction and made millions of people
happy while reading them
Without history we would not have our
common country. Without familiarity
with the Magma Charta, and of the English
Bill of Rights. and the liberty of the in
dividual man under the unwritten English
constitution, Thomas jefferson could not
have written the Declaration of Independ-
ence. Without that knowledge of the rights
of Englishmen which were transplanted Ia
the American colonies, Washington could
not have successfully carried on the wal
OF the revolution.
If history is 50 important to the ex.
istence of the state and of the nation, it is
OF more Importance to the individual, fol-
in the end it Is the individual man thai
must suffer IL the government Is not what
he would wish 1t to be. AS citizens of q
state, or as citizens of the nation, every
individual man that wishes well for him
self, and for the community, and for the
state and the nation, should take an inter-
est in seeing that the state as well as the
nation shall collect and preserve the in
cidents and records of its history, SO that
