OMAHA. July 26-To the Editor OF The
Bee: l wish to call attention to the need
OF better signs on the street cars here.
The present signs placed on the front OK
the car roofs are very hard to read and 10
persons with poor sight they are useless.
1t seems to me that the proper place Tor
signs is on the metal fronts OF the cars,
where the small base ball signs now are.
/ wish to suggest the use OF distinctive
badges for the various lines. During the
civil war this system OF corps badges was
Of great value. on Sixteenth street. where
80 many lines run, the lack Of clear signs
is a nuisance to everyone concerned. Sup
pose that as an experiment these cars
should be marked with circular dots about
eight inches across In the center Of small
circular metal squares, with the name of
the line below the dot In small lettering.
The East Park cars would bear white
dots, the West Park cars, blue dots and
the other cars dots Of red. black or green.
These spots Of color could be seen two
or three blocks away, and as soon as
! the public grew familiar with the badge
colors of the various lines. 1t would not
be necessary to read the names Of the
lines on the car fronts. A person waiting
for the East Park car would simply look
for a Sixteenth street car with small
splash of white paint on the metal front,
and he could see this at q glance much
farther away than he could read the
clearest lettering. The Tenth street cara
could be marked with stars Of different
colors and the cars on the other lines
with crosses. crescents, trefoils. and so on.
This system OF marking could be tried on
the Sixteenth street lines at little cost,
and might prove both popular and useful

Chokio Review While pressing
hay Thursday afternoon Ed Aamus
had the terrible misfortune Of having
his right arm torn off just above the
elbow. He had reached into the ma
chine to remove some loose hay when
the gearing which is driven by a
gasoline engine. caught him with the
above result. An automobile passing
near the place where he was working
was called and the injured man was
taken at once to Graceville and placed
in charge of DR.. Oliver who was
obliged to take away portion of the
remaining stump to within four inches
of the shoulder. The patient is do
ing as we'll as could be expected con-
sidering the fearful strain and suffer-
ing he went thru. Eds many friends
and acquaintances will deeply SYM
pathize with him in his misfortune.

Literary Club.

The regular meeting of the Liter
ary Club was held on Oct. 24th at
the home of Mrs. C. A. Horton.
Roll call was responded to by each
member present naming an early Eng
lish poet.
The subject of the lesson. "The
Lake District - under the leadership
of Mrs. Dan Mahoney. was then taken
up.
Mrs. C. B. Burpee gave very in
teresting description of 1.-THE Lake
District, " which has very aptly been
called the "English Switzerland. "
The various lakes, streams. noun
tains and villages in this district were
taken up and described in detail.
The traveller in England finds this
portion of the country interesting. not
only because of the beauty of the
scenery. but chiefly because of its
literary associations. The so called
"Lake Poets" derived the inspira-
tions for most of their poems from
this district, chiefest among these
was VIM. Wordsworth. Mrs. Torpey
described his home. Miss Hall read
a we'll prepared paper on the life of
Wordsworth; and Mrs. W. J. Stewart
read selections from his poetry.

press have already taken measures to
inform their friends and those under
obligations to them, making recon-
mendations for the protection of their
interests.
"For instance, the Liberty league.
we'll known liquor organization,
with headquarters in St. Paul. before
the Democratic convention was held.
declared in favor of Governor Eber-
hart. Later Julius Moersch, legisla-
tive agent for the National Liquor
Dealers association, in an interview
in the St. Paul Daily News, CATER
the German-American alliance had in
dorsed Governor Eberhart' S candidacy
said: I'VE indorse Governor Eber-
hart because we believe he is opposed
to county option. We are opposed to
having the saloons ruled out, and we
consider that our Endorsement of Gov
ernor Eberhart is an Endorsement of
our own interests.
"There is no one better qualified to
speak from the brewers standpoint
than Mr.. Moersch. When it is fur
ther remembered that Governor Eber-
hart, when he was lieutenant COVER
nor, appointed and reappointed the
notorious to 1 temperance commit
tee; that he has been Dersistently
silent as to his own attitude on the
question Of county option, and as a
crowning offense that he insisted upon
the appointment as chairman of the
Republican State committee of form
er Senator E. E. Smith, who is we'll
known as the legislative representa-
tive of the brewing interests and the
vigorous defender of all that is bad in
politics. and it will be seen that a
vote for Eberhart is a vote for the
saloon and saloon politics.
"On the other hand, when it is re-
membered that James Gray, by his
past record and his present declara-
tion. has shown himself sincerely and
strongly favorable to the principles Of
county option. and that he stands
among his fellow citizens as an advo-
cate of progressive and honest govern
mnet, it will be seen that vote for
Gray means a vote against the saloon
and saloon politics. Mr.. Gray's
sincerity on the county option ques-
tion is amply proved by the fact that
for a period of several months during
19O6-07 he spoke for the Anti-Saloon

REASONS GIVEN.
Why the Anti-Saloon League
Endorsed Gray.

The official statement of why the
Anti Saloon League endorsed Gray for
governor has been issued and is as
follows =
''The temperance people of Mime
sofa. under the leadership of the
Minnesota Anti-Saloon league, are in
the midst of the most hopeful struggle
for definite advance in temperance
legislation in the history of the State.
The issue before us is county option.
To enact this sentiment into law. it is
necessary for the people of Minnesota
to elect a governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, senators and representative
favorable to county option. A splen-
did and apparently successful pri-
mary legislative campaign has been
made. The candidates of the lead
ing political parties for the lieutenant
governOrship are we'll known to be
favorable to county option. We be-
lieve a majority of both houses Of the
next legislature will be favorable to
county option, but owing to the tre-
mendous amount of money put up by
the liquor interests in their death
struggle to continue their control of
Minnesota politics, our margin will
be so small that it will be absolutely
necessary to have the hearty co-opera-
tion Of a governor who will openly
take the moral side of this acknow-
lodged moral question and exert his
influence to counteract the corrupt
methods of the brewery lobby.
cit is no departure from Anti
Saloon league policy and tradition to
take sides in a gubenatorial contest
when the interests of the temperance
cause are concerned.
'FOur speakers have been appeal
ing to the churches for financial and
moral support on the plea of stand
ing by men, from the governor down,
regardless of party, who openly favor
our cause. The temperance people of
the State look to US for information
and advice in this crucial time con-
cerning the candidate for governor.

The Indian of the Far North.
From Leslie's.


In the first place. the Indian OF the
far north is one Of tie most honest and
most loyal-hearted fellows on the face
Of the earth. and, unlike most other In
dians he is a, lover OF home and OF wife
and children. At the same time, he Is.
during a half of the year. one Of the
most veritabie of vagabonds. Ii is this
fact which makes life what it is in the
big northland. For instance. the trapper
comes in with his furs early In the spring.
and brings with him Inf, wife and children
and dogs. If he has had a successful
season he is, for a few days, king
among his kind. lie decks his family out
in a prince-like style. and. in spite of
all the arguments that the factor can
bring against him, he persists in getting
rid of his money like a spendthrift at
Monte Carlo. He lives near the post dur
ing the warm months, along with scores
of others Of his people. The big outside
wilderness is deserted. Within a week
or ten days he is pennfless. The small
supply of provisions that he has puf-
chased is quickly gone. With the SUI
preme confidence of a child. he depends
upon the company, and during all OF tile
summer the company keeps him busy AT
odd little things and supplies him and his
family with food-free OF charge. BY
midsummer he is as ragged as a tramp.
and the gorgeous raiment OF his wife has
degenerated into colored and bedraggled
tatters. He is, for the time. wilderness
tramp, but as happy As the day is long
II Is at this season that the tenderfOot
traveller from civilization is padded up
the peaceful rivers and then is padded
back again, to write his pathetic yarns
about the "destitution and suffering"
wrought by the great northern trust.

Old-Time Christmas Customs.
WITH the disappearance of the

WITH the disappearance of the old
w southern Christmas there vanished
two holiday customs which are now moth
ing more than "reminiscences. One was
the John Coonahs'' parade, the OTTER
the 'gander pulling The former was
found only in South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and New Orleans.
The coonahs made their appearance
some time during Christmas week. They
were a band of negroes, dressed pic
turesquely to the point of weirdness, but
with the general characteristic Of being
ragged. The majority were armed with
banjos. bones, flies, drums, castanets and
all sorts of instruments. At their head
was a leader, the most gaudily arrayed
and armed with whip. The procession
made its way frrin one plantation to
another, taking in all in the neighbour
hood.
When a plantation was reached the
leader would crack his whip. At the sig
nal all the instruments would start up
the Coonah song would burst forth from
many lips and the dancers would spring
from the lines. Faster and faster would
sound the barbaric music and faster and
faster would fly the nimble feet until,
dropping out one by one. only the leader
and one other would be left TO show their
best steps.
When this had been concluded an oid
negro would pass around his hat to re-
ceive the shower of coins he knew would
be waiting for him. Then the little folks
OF the great house would come out
with raisins, nuts, fruits and other Christ
mas goodies for the eXpectant crowd.
After the excitement Of gathering them
up had subsidized the leader would crack
his whip again and off he procession
would wind TO the next plantation.
The "gander pulling was Eastime OF
the backwoods of Alabama. This is also
credited to North Carolina over a CEN
tury ago. The game consisted in hang
ing a gander, usually aged, from pole
set in a vacant field. The contestants,
all of whom must be mounted. would
have to gaIlop past the Sander and try
to pull it's head off. AS the animals head
was we'll creased. and as a man usually
stood close by to urge tagging nass into
a gallop the efforts were many and the
results mostly ludicrous But finally one
would succeed in securing the coveted
head and would thereby win the prize
