mary College. at Cornell University.
Ithaca. N. Y. arrived in Omaha last
Thursday morning to investigate the
socalled meningitis in horses. which has
caused 50 much loss during the past few
weeks in Kansas and Nebraska.
DR.. Udall came from Cornell at the
Union Pacific Railroad Company.
President Mohler, who 10 deeply in
terested in this matter, determined to
do everything possible to not only
ASCERTAIN the cause Of the disease but
to stamp it out. It 10 confidently ex-
pect THAT the philanthropic effort made
by the Union Pacific to aid in this
most important work will be produc-
tive Of excellent results.
DR.. Udall left Thursday afternoon for
Lincoln, Nebr., and when there will
call upon the veterinary of the State Of
Nebraska, at the State House, with
view of ascertaining from him his
views rs to the disease, and what mea-
sures have been taken to eradicate
it.
From Lincoln Dr.. Udall will 70 to
The State Agricultural College at Man
haitian. Kansas, for conference with
the officials Of the Veterinary Depart
ment there He will. however, divide
his time equally between the states Of
Kansas and Nebraska, and will do ex-
tensive meteorological and pathological
work.
DR.. Udall has written several valu-
able articles on Veterinary subjects.
His latest work is in the form of Z

Twenty-Five Directors of Kansas
City Bank All Started Their Careers
Practically Without Money.

Dr. James T. NJ. Johnston, president
of the National Reserve Bank of Kan
sas City, at a recent meeting of the
directors of that bank, arose and ask
ed that each one present who had be-
gun business with a capital of $10,-
900 stand up. There were 25 direct
ors of the bank in the room, and their
wealth would aggregate about $40,
100000. Not man of the % arose.
Or. Johnston then put another prop
osition. He said:
Each man of you who had $4,000
with which to begin business stand
up"
The twenty-five directors looked
around at each other, but not one of
them stood up.
Each of you who had $1,000 stand
up" persisted DR.. Johnston.
The directors looked at each other
and laughed, but none of them arose.
DR.. Johnston kept putting the propo-
sition, lowering the amount by 500
each time, and when he got down to
$3.50 ore of the directors stood up
and said that was the amount of his
capital when he began business.
The majority of the others began
without collar
DR.. Johnston himself, estimated to
be worth well on toward half mil
lion dollars, began his business career
without even a pair of shoes.-Okla-

SMALL TYRANT OF WIGWAM
Gree Papoose Always Well Cared For,
Though Its Parents May Suffer
Hunger and Privation.

In the far north of Canada, where
the stiffness Of the vast wilderness Ia
broken only by the signing and moan.
Ing OF the wind in the forests, and the
cries of animals, and where the wild,
rowing nature of the red man finds
happiness In freedom, there, in some
sheltered nook, the Cree pitches his
wigwam. With hardly enough rude
covering to shelter them from the icy
blasts in winter, with scarcely suffi-
cient food to satisfy the cravings of
hunger amidst squalor and hardship,
the Indian and his squaw maintain a
never-ending struggle against frost
and famine. Under such conditions
as these the Cree girl-baby, the wee
child of the forest, enters the race of
life. Encased in a snug bag of soft
moss, which is laced to rude wooden
cradle, beautifully decorated with
beads and ribbons, she is placed in the
most convenient spot among the con.
glomeration Of traps, hunting imple
ments, cooking utensils, and bedding,
which strew the wigwam. Here is all
she needs-warmth and comfort Why
should she not be happy? Blissfully
ignorant of the privation around her,
she is always the same contented,
smiling papoose-a little olive-colored
lump Of beauty, as picturesque and ro-
mantle as the country she inhabits.
Whatever she wants she cries for,
and whatever she cries for she gets.
She is little tyrant of the wigwam,
but the light and Joy of her parents
lives, and they strive hard for her
sake.-Wide World Magazine.

If you are to linger long In Rio

time to go and come, but the ride is
worth it. Our hotel was on the road

twists and turns in climbing to 1t. At
each turn a new and more beautiful

style of architecture doesn't really suit
this warm country. The patio ar
rangement and balconies would be

The street scenes Of Rio are inter.
esting. There is large fountain in
one of the main streets, and all day
long men, women and children tramp
back and forth with jugs or pals of
water, always carried on their heads,
to be used for household purposes and
for washing the clothes. It is a very
common sight to see big negro women
washing clothes on tho hills with the
blazing sun beating down upon them.

wondzous beauties were then unfolded

The first thing to greet us was
Sugar Loaf mountain, rising abruptly
from the waters edge high into the
air-its position much as sentinels,
standing guard over the city and bay.
AS the ship slowly entered the land
locked harbor, with forts to the right
and to the left, the view of the horse
shoe bay was marvellous. At that
early hour little ferry boats were ply
ing busily from one end of the bay to
the other.
The fort to the right, the larger of
the two. is built upon rock which
rises about twenty feet out of the wa
ter. Chambers are hewn out of the
center, and at intervals large guns
project out of the rock. In cases of
great danger these chambers are used
as places Of retreat, and at the same
time afford means to keep the enemy
at bay.
The mist had entirely lifted from
the city, and the sloping streets, lined
with red-tiled roofs, snuggled in

hills, with Corcovado and Tijuca, two

Every member of the Oakley Aid so
ciety, with one exception, had some
complaint to make about the dry sea-
son-the blackberries drying up, the
tomatoes rotting from sunburn, the
sweet corn failing to fill out, or the
scarcity of potatoes, says the Graphic.
In fact, a famine might have seemed
inevitable to one who listened to the
gloomy talk. Finally, the president Of
the society turned to small woman

noon, the one exception to the fault

fruit and garden at all. Mrs. Bennett?"
she was asked.
"Oh. yes, mine is just about like

"And don't you ever worry over any

Mrs Bennett stopped quilting. laid
her thimble down. and. looking around

The little woman glanced with a

Diminution of French Birth Rate.

The Journal Of1iciel has just pub
Hshed the French vital statistics for
1910. The most striking fact is that
the excess of births over deaths Is
only 7O,581, as against S4,061 in the
previous year. In England and Aus
tr1a-Hungary the excess is about 5O0.-
600. This result is a consequence
OF the extraordinary fall in the births,
which have droped from 1,0O0,01S fr
1853 to $4,000 in 1868, S99, 900 in 1887
and 774,358 in 1910. If the total pop
ulation remains stationary it is be-
cause the death rate also has consid-
erably diminished The actual figures
are 7O3,777, the lowest ever observed.
But DR.. Bertillon, the celebrated stat
istician, justly remarks that this re-
suit is due partly to the diminution in
births, since 1t is the infants that
furnish the largest part Of the NOR
tallty statistics. Thanks to the prog.
ress Of hygiene and of care for the
children, infant mortality has fallen
from IA per cent in 1906 to IL per
cent at the present time.
