Because I've got an old grudge against Germans.
You see twas this way:
Some FIVE summers ago,
When all the world bahed in peace and plenty
And all that worried whether not

Would stand mistaken in their old allegiance
I went o Paris,

Early on morning just off the might train from London

You've heard doubt about the Channel passage

And my beard had grown proportion;

But I'd forgotten what French for SHAVE please"

And on it a sign which, to my Joy,

In fact, forgot everything about the incident
Until l saw number increasing,

Workmen Are Victims
Of a Little Learning

They are the victims of a little
learning. The remedy Is in further cdu-
cation and the Improvements OF the
conditions in which they work and live.
Employers are finding that they must
provide entertainment and recreation
for the men. The remote camps must
have reading rooms, easy chairs, SAM
tary sleeping quarters, moving picture
shows and so on.
In the urban industries employers
for the most part tell different tale,
though even here they admit that pros
perity has spoiled "help" to some ex-
tent. There are no more SOLDERING up
Mondays. The working force is on
hand as fully and promptly on Mon
day as on any other day.
The man who used 10 drink is sur
prised 10 find how much more money he
has on hand than formerly. He there
fore raises his standard Of living. He
dresses well, domestic Disturbances
cease, the wife is happy, the kiddies
are well fed and healthy. He moves
into a better house, or starts in 20 buy
his own home Other and higher in
terests replace the saloon and drink.
He ceases 70 loaf. He becomes sub
stantial citizen in the community and,
for the first time in his lie, a
patriot.
He feels that he is part of the ma
ton, and it is men like this in the
sober Pacific Northwest that are to-
day making sober soldiers and turning
out ships OF wood and steel faster than
they were ever built before. They are
the men who, when the lumber strike
is over, will make new records in turn
ing forests into structures.

Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1917-03-11
By A. EDWIN LONG.

If a certain ambitious youngster
back in Carthage, O., had made good
with his first pair of steel spurs, he
might have plunged into the wild and
hairy west to become a cowboy. in
stead Of settling in Omaha eventually
as head of leading music store.
But he didn't make good with the
spurs.
Again, if his father had. not insisted
upon the better class of music in the
young mans early lessons, Anton
Hospe might still be iiddlmg for barn
dances in the country around Car
thage, saving the bow to the mad
rhythm Of Turkey in the Straw"
But this lads father had a sense for
real music, and he drilled and drilled
the son until he acquired It.
Anton Hospe in his kid days was
neighbor Of Billy Howard Taft, for
he was born in Taft's precinct in
Cincinnati in 1854.
The father liked to give the bows

Hits by Lewis for the Teachers.

Hits by Lewis LOT the ieaCnerS.
Homer P: Lewis, remembered by
many Omahans as former principal
of Central High school, spent sew
egal pleasant days here last week.
In short address to the teachers in
the auditorium of Central High he
aroused the risibifities of the peda-
gogues by telling them few stories.
One story related to the embarsass-
ment OF an educator speaking recently
at a banquet at Kansas City. He
chose for his subject women" which
Prof. Lewis said was good enough
subject for anybody.
Generally speaking, women are
generally speaking, women are-gen-
orally speaking, women are generally
speaking" said the embarrassed
speaker, who unwittingly aroused a
storm of applause. y
The next story by the former
Omaha schoolmaster was Of girl
3H years Of age being taken by a
Boston man to her prospective foster
parent. The guide warned her that
If she soiled her pretty new shoes she
might jeopardize her chances of win
ming good home.
Reaching puddle at an intersection
she soiled her new shoes, whereupon
she remarked: My God, I'm done
for!" -
When the foster parent heard of
the incident he decided that she was

drilling him in the manipulation Of
the piano, the flute, the violin, tho
cornet and other musical instruments
until the lad could almost jerk music
out of corncob. A half century
ago, when he was bare II years old,
he gave a piano recital in Carthage.
He recently found a notice of this in
the Fifty Years Ago" column Of the
Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune.
After learning his picture frame
trade he did gliding work on the in
terror of Pullman cars in the shops at
Dayton. After the Chicago fire he
landed in that city and began making
mirror frames. He drifted to St.
Louis and followed the same line.
1t was when he came to Indianap-
oils in the course of his wanderings
that he met an Omaha man who i'll
duced him to come here.
NJ landed in Omaha in October,
1874" said Mr.. Hospe, with sos in
my pocket"
In Omaha he rented l2xl8 store
in the Continental building site.
When he had paid $25 for the first
months rent his pile of visible capital
was shamefully shattered. He made
his bread and beans, however. for a
time and then moved to location on
Dodge street.
During the Grand Central hotel
fire, in which four lives were lost, he
was member of the volunteer fire
department. He would have been the
fifth man killed, but he had worked
so long in the heat that he was too
exhausted to climb into the window
to work with those who were killed
a few minutes later. Johnnie Lee
tried to pull Hospe into the window
to help with the fire fighting in the
hotel lobby, but the young musiciap
was too exhausted, and he fell back,
The chief sent him home to catch liS
breath, and when he opened the gate
at his home he heard the crash of the
hotel roof which killed his comrades.
There" exclaimed Mr.. Hospe.
Johnnie Lee got what he prayed for
for Johnnie always prayed that he
might die fighting fire."
From second Dodge street loca.
ton, Mr.. Hospe moved to his present
location on Douglas street, thirfy-txo
years ago. Three generations of
Omaha people have bought musical
instruments of Mr.. Hospe, ranging
from the old-fashioned organ down
through the four-legged piano, the
modern upright piano and the Vic
trola.

their good times, so he kept for their
pleasure everything from horses to
fishing tackle, and from rowboats to
shotguns. A little mill creek flowed
past the place.
Anton carved his initials on the
mud turtles, seined for tadpoles with
his battered straw hat, shot rabbits
when he was so small he had to rest
the shotgun on his brothers arm to

Yes, He Visited Her School.
A man who has held high positions
in public school work recently told
the following story on himself:
"Once upon time was travelling
from Chicago to Kansas City, being
at that time assistant superintendent
of schools at the latter city. On the
train gentleman OF my acquaintance
suggested a game Of whist, where
upon ! replied that two-handed whist
was not interesting to me. At the
other end of the car were two charm
ing young women, evidently mark
ing time. My friend invited the
women to sit in ther game, which
they did, the session lasting six
hours. We exchanged assumed
names and we displayed no inter-
est in learning the names of the
young women, who were strangers
to US.
Arriving at Kansas City, / was pick
ing up my overcoat when the particu-
larly charming one of the two young
women looked seriously into my face
and inquired: Mr., when are you
coming out to my school?' OF course,

The most powerful OF the six chiefs
was named Weahrushhah, which
means Little Thief. When Captain
Lewis tried to make peace between
the Ottoes and Mahas he found that
the war had started when two of the
Ottoes went to steal horses from the
Mahas, but were caught and killed.
Finally council was arranged and
all the chiefs made little talks of two
or three hours and then they agreed
to make peace. Captain Lewis had
run out of medals. So he dashed out
some certificates of favor on a little
portable typewriter that he had with
him.. But the Indians threw the GER
tifcates of favor on the ground and
one scornfully used his certificate to
light his pipe. So Captain Lewis had
to give them beads and tobacco and
whisky, which pleased them much
better, especially the whisky.

Poetic Eulogy on Logan Fomtemelle
Written at the Time of HIS Death

The following poem was written
by Charles D. McNaughton upon
hearing Of the death Of Logan Fonte-
nellie, chief Of the Omahas. The orig
inal is, the property Of Colonel Z. j,
Uack) Adams Of Latrobe, Cal. Col
onel Adams says McNaughton met
Fontenelle when crossing the plains
in the early SOS, where Omaha now
stands, and became very fond Of him.
Upon hearing OF his death he wrote
the poem.
Mr.. McNaughton was then living
in the same mining camp with Col
onel Adams in the Big Canyon, near
Spanish Camp. CAL, occupying a bush
cabin as his home. He was % years
old at the time he wrote the poem. 1t
was copied and sent incognito to the
famous Gold Era then published in
San Francisco. The publisher ad-
vertised for the name of the author,
but while McNaughton sent other
articles for publication he still re-
tanned his incog. (poor fellow-he
committed suicide in the year 1922.
Colonel Adams writes also OF the
circumstances under which he first
met the noted Indian chief. In the
spring OF 1852. while he (Adams) was
crossing the plans with the Condy
and Machin expedition, they came to
the Missouri river, and Adams, then
a youth of Is years, volunteered to
swim the river to look for landing
on the opposite shore. When about
half way across his horse floundered
on a sand bar, got away from the
.ider and swan back to the train,
But Adams swan the balance of the
way to the opposite bank. There was
an Indian standing there, who spoke
to him in plain English, SAYING,
Some swimmer, boy. What do you
wantf' Il am looking for landing, =
said Adams. The Indian replied
This is as good as you will ind
then added, ''Your horse went back
Vow will you get backi' Adams re-
Piled. I'll SWIM" The Indian gave
4 whistle and two more Indians came

Death Of Logan Fontenelle, Chief Of
the Omahas.
By Charles d. McNaughton.
Sleep, warrior Of the Omahas,
Scared by many fatal blow;
Alas, that such noble cause
Could give thee to thy cruel foe!
But yet Thy life was dearly bought
Nine in the desperate combat fell
Alone, since thou so well hast fought
Now rest thee--Valiaat Fontenelle.
With lamentations, loud and long,
Thy childrenunto God appeal,
And when they chant the savage
song,
What true and settled faith they
As thus they wall with heartfelt grief
They seek thy shadow round the
grave;
Then rest, since thou, Victoriou:
Chief,
Didst die as thou has lived--a brave
That hour Of madness and of>pain.
Brought forth lions heart te
bleed; t
Thy warning tribe may seek in vain
For such a chief in time of need.
The council now will want thy voice
The field thy valor and thy skill,
While the exulting foes rejoice
That thine avenging arm is still.
For wealth and power the enlight,
ened great
May magnify ambition's aims,
And gather in nations fate
The spoils that spring from pas,
esion's flame.
Unto the west | turn my gaze.
Where all in peace the sun may set
Freedom as in her halsyon days
Here smiles upon the Indian yet.
The glory of the tribe is gone;
No more will he oppose the foe
No more will lead his warriors on
No more be FIRST to meet the blow
When chiefs come round the council
fire
And brave exploits from legend,
tell, IN
Then will the Indian blood in ire
Rouse at the name at Fontenelle.
