conference to-day, at the conclusion Of

by the fact that one OF the party who ar

Governor Aldrich Is an avowed Roose-

MRS. JEFF THROWS NURSE
WHO ESSAYS TO RIDE HER
tFrom a staff Correspondent


LINCOLN. Feb. lS.--(special.) 1.-THE peo-
pie at the tuberculosis hospital at Rear
ney have turned their backs on the
ancient classics and taken up with the
modern cult. Some time ago the board
bought two horses for use at the instltu-
ton They came to the establishment
bearing the classic cognoments Of Minerva
and Venus. but now all this has been
changed and they have been rechristened
Mrs. Mutt and Mrs. jeff. Mrs. Mutt is
demure and docile animal. but Mrs.
jeff is not easily managed. She looks
innocent and doclle enough. but she is a
gay decelver. for she tempted the inad
nurse. a woman who is somewhat Of a
horsewoman. to mount for a ride. The
first time the ride was-a pleasure, but
the second effort was not so successful.
as Mrs. Jeff took roach in her back
elevated her heels and the nurse was
unceremoniously dumped In a snowbank.
The board and those in charge Of the
institution are expecting to produce
considerable portion Of the supplies
needed. They have a COW which furnishes
an average of twenty quarts OF milk a
day, which supplies the institution and
leaves a surplus from which some butter
is made. A supply of garden seeds has
been ordered and as the grounds can be
irrigated II Is anticipated the hospital
will have the prize garden in that section.
