Frcnchman's Tale of Interest.
February {

Frenchman's Tale of Interest.
Madame August Mothe Borglum,
who is an enthusiastic sponsor OF any
praiseworthy French movement has
invited the members OF the new
French organization, LAlliance
Franchise. to her home for a good
fellowship tea Sunday afternoon at
3 o'clock The society is steadily in
creasing in membership and
madame's object is to promote friend
ship and acquaintance amons the de-
voices OF the romance language.
So many interesting Frenchmen
are becoming honorary members of
the society that they are of great as
sistance to the American students of
French in their acquisition of the Ian
guage. Siace their residence is only
temporary, they become honorary
members and share the pleasures Of
the organization during their stay in
Omaha. Officers of the organization
are making arrangements for another
lecture in the lcar future.
Monsieur jacques Brandes, one Of
the honorary members, who is spend
ing some time in Omaha on his way
across the continent, taught for some
time in a school in Chihuahua City,
Mex. He tells the very interesting
story Of how the Americas troopers
came to be called "gringoes' by the
MeXicans. The term originally had
no such meaning as robber or bandit;
in fact, it had no reference to any
thieving proclivity on the part OF the
United States soldiers. Some of the
men, Monsieur Brandes says, were in
the habit of singing the old lifting
ballad by Robert Burns, Green Grow
the Rushes, o. The Mexicans heard
it repeatedly and, failing to under
stand it clearly, quoted it 'gringo."
To them 'gringo" became the distin-
gushing characteristic of the soldiers
and they would say, Here come the
'gringoes, or words TO that effect,
until they tagged the army men with
that name.

Popular Bachelor SURPRISED.

Not all OF our popular bachelors
are as lucky on their birthdays as
Mr.. Taylor Belcher was on his ami
versary Wednesday. A group Of his
intimate friends, discovering from his
roommate that the birthday cake and
candles were in order on that day, de-
cided to give him royal celebration.
This is how they managed it.
Miss Harriet Copley was to have a
bridge party and Mr.. Erie Burkett
was to call for Tayler at the con
ventional hour. In the meantime his
friends had planned feast fit for the
gods, as we'll as for such gala oc
casion as a bachelors birthday (for
it is said they seldom have them), and
were assembled in the machine out
side of his home waiting for him.
To say he was surprised is to put it
mildly, when he found the machine
full Of not only his best friends, but
also baskets of the most tempting
things one could imagine.
Needless to say the popular bache-
lor arose to the occasion. invited them
in and it proved to be red letter day
on his calendar.

BETTER A NEW CABINET

Now that war is upon Us and mono
is supposed TO be for party. but all for
the State, many suggestions have been
made for a coalition cabinet to take
care of the crisis that has come upon
the Country, pattcrning somewhat
after the course Great Britain las
pursued in drawing representatives, or
all political elements into her coun-
ellis. In this country, however, The
1ntelligencer IS inclined TO believe tina.
it would be nothing more than a bar
rem ideality. In the first place, NJ.
Wilson is too autocratic in his ways
to brook any change OF policy that m
terfered with his own way OF thinking.
He is dominant and obstinate, and the
result OF a coalition cabinet would rc
constant friction. and friction would
lead to decentralization. There ", -!
be greater safety in permitting him 20
continue to have his own way, as lie
works much smoother when he Is
allowed to run in his dictatorial ruts.
Besides, whatever responsibility there
is for the war that is not assigned 10
Germany should rest where 1t belongs,
and not be subjected to division.
But there is an outstanding recogni-
ton of the inefriciency and incompc-
teuce Of the cabinet. so glazing thai
if moved the New York Times, which
supported President Wilson in the last
campaign, to appeal for a new deal
in the heads of departments. Outside
of Secretary Lane and one other the
members OF the present cabinet haze
proved themselves to be decidedly
amateurish In governmental affair.
The Times suggestion is more rrac-
Itical than the notion Of coalition
