Omaha has quite a bunch OF dog fancers
and numbers who like a canine with pedi-
gree without understanding the technique

judges at the show.
The opportunity is afforded by the Wise
Memorial bazaar held In the Krug theater.
Two Boston bulls have been donated to the
committee one by Tom Jones and the other
by Adolph Storz. They will be on view

and vocal numbers constituted the enter

dancing was by pupils OF w. E. Chambers
and proved decidedly enjoyable National
dances were illustrated by Mercedes Spong,
Leonora Fleming, Helen Frandsen, Char
lotte Michaelson and these little girls along
with three other juveniles, Madeline Cohn,
Lucille Helm and Margaret Fordyce de-
lighted the house with a Spanish dance.

A miniature hospital is now equipped in
the theater. 1t not only illustrates the
work OF the Wise, but 1t and its two nurses
are ready in case OF emergency. One of the
boxes is equipped as complete as a room
of the institution in whose behalf the bazaar

ORIGIN OF PUNCH is TRACED
English Brought the Drink from india
Humorous Mistake Made by
SchlcswiQ Ms9nates.

In Germany punch is the national
drink for the night OF st. Sylvester.
when Germans finish the year by
drinking punch. usage observed even
by the kaiser himself Punch is what
they drink when they have colds.
Moreover. We are told that the Eng
lish brought punch from India. 1t
takes its name from panscha. a San
scrit word for five. because such is
tho number OF the ingredients, arrak
or rum. tea. sugar. lemon and hot wa
ter. It was in 1895 that the English
first celebrated the New Year with
punch.
A contemporary relates an amusing
story in connection with punch. When
Frederick VII. came to Flensburg. In
Schleswig. he gave banquet to the
notables of the district. After the
dessert he desired court official to
inquire how the guests had enjoyed
his hospitality They hesitated to ex-
press an opinion. but at length one,
bolder than his fellows, resolved to
speak freely.
Everything was excellent save the
punch. The magnates of Schleswig
had drunk for punch the warm water
charged with perfume which had been
placed before them for additions.

asked. did the man who left you

money and left the wallet"
The conductor opened it, and again
there was curious surging forward
OF the crowd. To my intense disap-
pointment the money was still there.
I stood blankly miserable while it
was counted out-flve 500 bills, six
twenties and some fives and ones that
brought the total to $3.50.

OF the mystery was . question OF mo-

pocket maEnifying glass, only to
shake his head in disappointment. All
the people around shook their heads,
too, although they had not the slight
est idea what it was about.
The pounding in my ears began
again. The group around me seemed
to be suddenly motionless In the very
act Of moving. as If hypnotist had
called "Rigid!" The girl in blue was
looking at me, and above the din I
thought she said she must speak to
me-sometning vital. The pounding
grew louder and merged into scream.

car rose under my feet. Then it fell

Then from q corner OF the bag he
drew out and held up for our inspec.
ton some three inches Of dne gold
chain. one end Of which was black.

The conductor held out his hand for
It. but the little man was not ready
