GREATER BUMP-GREATER
BOUNCE


In elucidatlon of the foregoing motto IL IL
explained that in going through this life OF
ups and downs-the boys seems to realize
thus early that they have a few downs"
coming to them-the harder the bump. the
greater must In consequence thereof be the
bounce. That is the why of the motto.
Phoenix-like, they propose to rise again,
when they go down.
There is, Of course, more or less levity
in the cornerstone of the organization-it
wouldn't appeal to boys If It were other
wise. But back OF the funny side. is
serious obligation, the ultimate aim OF
each boy belonging being to develop into
q good man.
Great Biscuit" is the somewhat ludicrous
title of the presiding officer. Great Bis
cult" naturally suggests things culinary
and that's where the boys OF st. Mary's
avenue church shine Impromptu banquets
are, in fact, one Of the chief features Of the
club, and the boys do their own cooking in a
manner that would do credit to any chef
in the city-at least the members so est-
mate It.
1t is the rule to give a supper at the club
rooms every Friday evening A charge OF
Is cents is made and the boys find that by
close management, they can serve Is cent
meals at a profit. The profit goes into the
treasury, and nice little fund is accumu-
lating. Realizing that too many cooks
spoil the broth, one Of the number is Sc
lected cook for certain occasion, and so
long as that occasion lasts, he is absolute
boss Of the kitchen. He is allowed as
sistant, but the assistant works under his
orders All Of the good things of the sea-
son are served. For instance last Friday
night, strawberry shortcake was a feature
81 the bill of fare
Strawberry shortoake made by a boy
sounds rather strange, yet stories emanat-
ing from the vicinity of St. Marys church
are to the effect that the shortcake was
as fine as has ever been made by any
housewife or professional chef in Omaha.
After the Friday evening dinner, il is the
rule for the boys to adjourn to another
room In the church building, where they
indulge in discussion of high school topics
and other things designed to point out the
upland path Many interesting discussions
are held, and oftentimes the oratorical fea-
ture lasts for an hour or more.
Stage fright is unknown among the

Grand Bouncers." Here the most tImid
finds public speaking easy. Who knows
but that congressional or senatorial or
even presidential timber may not be grow
ing right now within the ranks of the
bouncer boys?
According to the order of business" the
discussion period of the Friday evening ses-
sions is followed by a routine business
meeting, at which new members are voted
upon suggestions for betterment of the
club are presented and any other matters
are taken up that seem to be timely
Nearly every member of the bouncers Is
High school student and it is the avowed
intention of each to enter college as quickly
as practicable upon leaving High school.
Every member of the club is a boy-ex-
cept one.
That exception is Mr.. o. T. Eastman,
cashier First National bank, who serves in
the capacity of leader. Dropping into rail-
road vernacular for the moment it is Mr..
Eastman's job to spread ballast on the
track In short it is his business to veto
any juvenile ideas that might lack the
necessary conservatism. lie is the same

the boys the idea-they worked it out
Perhaps no pastor who ever served in
Omaha was more popular with the boys
of his church. AS an evidence of their
love for their pastor, on the occasion of his
farewell sermon, forty boy members
marched in body to the front seats and
sat together during the service. They also
gave a parting banquet to the retiring
pastor and his wife.
1t was then that Mr., Eastman, busy man
of financial affairs took up the work

the country over. She has, borrowing from
stenographic vernacular. written all
around" the lad who won the Brown trophy
in the speed demonstration which was a
feature of the recent commercial college
convention in this city.
You are not a stenographer or typlst. you
are not a commercial college teacher.
You are for the moment just a newspaper
reader. You are not familiar with the
Brown trophy and other things that enter
into the shop talk OF the commercial schools.
No, but you have red blood in your veins,
and in typewriting contests just as in base
ball, you feel ike roofing for home talent,
don't you? or course! And when home talent
wins, you feel like tossing your hat into the
air at least flguratively So and shouting
"hurrah," don't you?
Obviously then, granting that you don't
know the keyboard of a typewriter from
the ribbon shift. and that pot hooks OF
shorthand are like so many ancient hlero-
glyphics to you, nevertheless you are inter-
ested in the story OF the Omaha girl who
has excelled In typewriter speed.
But. you say. II she excels in speed, why
didn't she win the Brown trophy?
Simply because she was too timid to an
nounce herself while the contest was open.
After IT was over and a Chicago youngster
had carried the prize away, then the little
Omaha girl shyly came forward with the
statement that she too could write rap
idly. President Boyles, in whose college
this Omaha prodigy is student, was in
terested
Let me see what you can do" he sug-
gested.
A trial demonstration was made. Fifty
six words OF difficult dctiaton in one min

In that one minute Miss Beulah Moser-

that her fifty-six words a minute test was
not written from matter which she had
memorized, thus aeceleratinE her speed, but
from new dietation with which she was
wholly unfamiliar.
Parker Woodson, II years old, the Chi
cago boy who won the Brown trophy
wrote forty-five words a minute under
similar conditions. That was good enough
10 win the prize, but now comes Miss
Moser with record suggesting to Master
Woodson that he retire far TO the rear OF

to enter. At the recent convention in this
city, none who had entered school prior to
last August were eligible. To the credit of
Miss Moser and Master Woodson, attention
is called to the fact that neither of them
took up the study of typewriting or short
hand until January Of this year, while sew
eral OF those who contested had served the
full time allowed. This difference in tenure
of preparation makes the work of Miss
Moser and Master Woodson all the more
wonderful.
OF course Miss Fritz, Mr.. Weisse, and
other famed experts exceed an average
speed Of 100 words minute, but 1t must
be remembered that they are veterans
In the game, while the Brown trophy class
in which Miss Moser and Master Woodson
belong is limited to beginners.
