Prof A. U. Graft, principal of the Omaha
High school, in addressing the Mems club

ing THE character Of Burns cannot be-
come trite or exhausted, as he had a brill
liant mind in all things and would have
made a success in almost any line.
Most writer's in speaking of Burns apol-
ogize too much for his apparent immoral
ty, but 1t seems certain that he was not
much more immoral than his times Burns
was . genius, but this does not excuse
any faults any more than a high poetic
temperament gives a license. The power
to guide his own footsteps was not given
to him. The judgment of the world is
now far less unjust than it was in his
day.
Burns furnished the yardstlck OF SYM
pathy and charity by which to measure
his own shortcomings. The brotherhood
which the poet proclaims is wide enough
to include himself. Burns greatness lay
in the pure inspiration of genius.
His fame is now far beyond the widest
dream he could ever have had of himself
and his books are now more widely read
than ever before while his name is more
honored than ever. He has won on his
merits.
zone of his chief characteristics is his
keen poetic insight into the Significance
of common things. He has shown that II
is not necessary for a poet to have some
remote, intangible subject before he car

Another characteristic is his sympathy

Danish Books at
Public Library
Brotherhood Makes Present of Its
Collection for Benefit of
People of City.

The Omaha Public library mas recently
received from Lodge No. 10 of the Danish
brotherhood its entire collection of books
in the Danish language. Up to the present
time these books have been circulated by
the society among its members, but, hop
ing to serve a larger number of people,
the members decided to deposit these at
the public library, to see II they might
not be of greater value to the public
These books are now on the shelves
ready for circulation and many Danish
readers are already taking them from
the library. This collection contains some
of the greatest names in Danish literature,
having been very carefully selected from
time to time by the society mentioned.
The members of the board of the Omaha
Public library always feel under great
obligations to any organization which as
sists in the distribution of books par
ticularly in the case of foreign books the
fund for these being somewhat limited.
This is the second large collection that
has been received the one previous to
this having come from Bohemian society
small collection has also been received
from one Of the Jewish societies. This
last gift of Danish books brings that col
lection up to, possibly, GOO volumes. These
books may be drawn from the library
under the same rules as those governing
all books for circulation.

Commons Plans
New Hold on Lords
It is Now Proposed to Vote Supplies
for Six Weeks Instead of from
Four to Six Months.

LONDON, March 1.-THE ministers
adopted a new device in the war between
the Lords and Commons by asking Parlia-
ment today to vote supplies for six weeks
only instead Of for from four to six
months, as has been the practice for the
last fifteen years. The fact is not con-
cealed that this device is intended to keep
the power of the purse in the hands OF the
House of Commons, in readiness for a fresh
constitutional crisis which is expected in
May, when the Lords probably will reject
the resolutions curtailing their power of
veto so as to bring about the resignation
of the government.
II supplies were voted for six months,
Mr.. Balfour could then take office and
carry on the government, but with the
necessity of coming to the House OF Com
mons for a new vote on supplies he would
be defeated.
The conservatives in the House of Com
mons today Indignantly denounced the gov
ernment's action as "a shabby trick in its
policy of evasion and chicanery."
Chancellor Loyd-George frankly admits
that 1t is his intention thus to keep effec-
tive control over the executive from which
ever side Of the house that executive is
drawn and it is understood that the labor
ties and the nationalists will support
the government.

on the bride. But the bride refused
to accept an invitation through any

acceptance was granted
Indeed, the first call cannot be too
formal, and nothing justifies its omis-
sion save that the acquaintance Of
the new arrival is not desired The
initiative must come from persons
who are older residents, even though
they may be younger in years, else
the newcomer is put in an undesirable

At the Theaters

"BeverIy OF GraustRrII'' at the KruE'
The picturesque of the old world spiced
with dash of idealized Americanism
forms the background Of the pretty story
Of Beverly OF Grsustark." The story by
Robert M. Baker lends itself gracefully
to the dramatization In the making of a
play pleasantly interesting and here and
there thrilling without violent effects.
There is nothing to make an interested and
sympathetic audience feel bad about the
unravelng OF the plot.
Beverly Calhoun, represented by Ger
trude Fowler, moves with a vivacious
grace through her part in action more in
teresting than convincing. To Hattie
Carmontelle in the role of Aunt Fanny
Bevery's maid, one must accord the great
est appreciation OF the play. Miss Car
montelle makes Aunt Fanny felt as real
factor from the moment she enters the
action of the piece.
The production is staged with not a lit
tie brllliance and beauty of effect, made
possible in large measure through the
quaint European setting of the play.

Influence of the Home.

Home is a boys training ground for the
qualities which lead to manliness-the
chivalrous protection for those who are
weaker; gratitude, love and generosity to-
ward those to whom it is definitely due;
respect for authority; courage to bear dis
appointments; consideration for others; the
sense OF how each must do his duty for the
good Of all.
The most beautiful characteristics OF a
manly nature are strength and tenderness,
and these are cultivated in the home asso-
Citations and through mothers influence.
A boy should contribute toward the COM
fort and pleasure of every one in the home
by being cheerful, reasonable. courteous,
punctual. His mother teaches him that
personal neatness and orderliness are es-
sentials in home life. She sees that his
own room is an encouragement to neatness.
His tennis racquet, bat, school books, hat,
clothing or other belongings are not to be
scattered about but put each in its place.

Music by Rossetter G. Cole.
This was the program which Mr..
Dispham chose to present to a very large
audience at the Young Mems Christian as
sociatiOn auditorium last night. 1t was
one Of the recitals of Miss Evelyn Hop
per's successful series The audience was
very apperclative and applauded the old
old songs with customary vlgor and ortho-
doN appreciation. The genial Mr.. Bispham
was in his happiest frame of mind, and
"Hark, Hark the Lark" and "Who Is
Sylvla?" and Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes" and Richard of Taunton
Deane," and Meyerbeer's Monk" de-
lighted the people very much, indeed.
In the old English song, The Balifrs
Daughter of Islington," one of those
highly moral and eminently respectable
ballads which tell Of youth and a maid
and constancy and all that, was the text
really made much OF by Mr.. Bispham: in
the singing of that number the singer
showed his clear enunciationl and his elo-
cution of the English text in song was
worth going specially to hear.
Mr.. Bispham has been in better voice
on previous occasions, as last night in two
numbers early in the program his in
tonation was convinclngly untrue. 1t is
to be regretted that he did not receive
the support and the background from his
accompanist which should have been there.
Mr.. Bispham has not strengthened his
company Eince his last appearance. An
accompanist nowadays is a very valuable
and very necessary part of a song recital:
the modern recital program demands just
as much of the accompanist at times as it
does Of the singer
Mr. Bispham introduced some songs by
American composers which were Of mixed
value. Some were interesting, none were
absorbing, but all might be worthy Of a
second hearing. In connection with these
songs Mr.. Bispham remarked:-"We need
not go abroad any longer to find high Art
in music If we look around us a little,
we will find lots of It at home" This pa
triotic little sally brought out its need
OF appreciative applause from those who
agreed with Mr.. Bispham. In sense it
is true. We are exporting our singers.
And supporting" those who are i'm
ported"
Mr.. Bispham closed his program with a
recitation to music, a branch of the art in
which Mr.. Bispham excels. In that king
! Robert of Sicily" the wonderful powers of
| the mans personality rose to the sublime
heights of genius. His Interpretation, his
play Of features, the well-controlled use
of his voice, its various moods and colors
combined to make a complete perform

that a New York woman, whose
relatives she knew, was visiting for
two days in her city. The resident
telephoned the stranger asking her
TO dinner the next evening, and
thought It odd when the latter de-
clined. She did so because she real
ized that It would not have been good
for her to accept the invitation of
a woman whom she had never met.
What the resident should have done
was to go to the hotel where the New
Yorker was staying. leave her card
II the stranger was out, and then tele
phone or send note Of invitation by
hand
Another woman who had not called
on a bride sent her husband to the
