Squares Account by Giving House for Hospital
ANNA WILSON PRESENTS CITY
OF OMAHA WITH PROPERTY
WORTH 100000 OVER CRY
OF TAINTED MONEY"

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. llama
Wilson may not be her real name.
She hasn't a relative in the world.
Nobody knows where she came
from.
She is rs years old, and is
worth a million dollars.
Fifteen years ago Anna Wilson
quit her business of operating an
immoral resort in Omaha. She
bought a home among the fash
ionable families of this city and
spent her winters in California.
And now she has had a further
change of heart. She has not long
to live and she has given the city
OF Omaha the house which was her
resort, to be used as an emergency
hospital. The property is worth
100000 and twas a resort until
a month ago. The city council has
accepted the gift, in the face of a
great cry of tainted money"
Anna Wilson's resort in the old
days was one of the most notori-
Gus in the middle west. She came
to Omaha As years ago when the
town was wild frontier village.
Her house was the meeting
place Of rich men-bankers mer-
chants and cattlemen. They spent
money lavishly. Anna Wilson
Kept her wits about her, heard
many tips and invested her income
to advantage.
Anna Wilson prided herself on
her attitude towards her inmates
and patrons. She conducted her
business honestly. Robbery of
guests was not permitted. Men

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Motor-
lists who drove down the Cory
Brook road, near Tarrytown, yes
terday, reported that as they
passed William Rockefeller's place
they saw gray squirrels crossing
the road with umbrellas over
their heads to protect them from
the rain.
Irving Revere explains the
story which seemed 30 improb-
able. The squirrels, he said, at
their wits end to keep dry in
the continued rains, would each
get a cabbage leaf large enough

hole in it, put their tail through,
and travel to and fro protected in

Dear MISS Grey:
I am 10 and in love. My par
ents, through the influence of 9TH
ers, have taken a dislike to my
fiance, and are determined i shall
not go with him. / feel that l
ought to tell them of my plans
to marry, but fear they will put
me in an institution. Can they
do it? N. Y. o.
A.-You certainly ought to tell
them of your plans. You owe IT
to them. The chances are that
they aer more capable of judging
the young man than you are. At
any rate, you are so young you
can afford to wait year or two,
and by that time he will, no
doubt, have proven himself
worthy or unworthy. Be guided
by the advice Of your parents for
they have your best interests at
heart.
Dear Miss Grey:
Please give recipes for canning
pineapples without cooking, and
for canning peaches,
YOUNG HOUSEKEEPER.
A.-Make rich syrup of sugar
and water, drop the sliced pine
apples into it, a few at a time;
heat thoroughly and can. The
peaches may be prepared in the
same way. 1t is quite important
that peaches be dropped into the
syrup only a few at a time, as
they cook to pieces very quickly.
