ENOUGH

care no whit for travel, for the lands
beyond the sea;
No crumbled, ivied ruin ever becks or
calls to me;
want the red sun slanting down my
own, my cottage walls,
want the sound of singing from the
kitchen, sweet and clear,
And the dimpled arms of babies when
the night is drawing near.
/ want, oh, how l want it, when the
shadows have grown long,
just the homely kitchen chorus Of my
Molly's happy song;
Just the sizzle Of the bacon, and the
smell of gingerbread, 4
When the day gives place to twilight
and the stars blink overhead,
And the west is red with glory, and a
little baby stands
On the top step waiting for me, reach.
ing out with dimpled hands.
Men may sing about the glory of the
heaven-kissing hills,
Men may sing of mountain torrents
and may sing Of woodland rills,
But never care to wander from my
little cottage home
Where the babies wait to greet me
when the day has turned to
gloam;
And the singing in the kitchen is an
echo to the call
OF the little baby racing to her daddy
down the hall.

Post

Senator Moriarty Presents
GaveI of Historic Wood
(From a Staff Correspondent.)

Lincoln, Feb. 7.-(Special.) -Sena-
tor Moriarty of Douglas county arose
to a question of privilege this morning
and presented the lieutenant governor
with a gavel made from willow tree
which had been a part of the material
from which the first white mans
building had been erected in this state.
The presentation was made in behalf
of former State Senator Jeff Bedford
of Omaha, now county commissioner
of that county, who was present when
the presentation was made.
According to Senator Moriarty, the
building from which the gavel was
made was erected by the John Jacob
Astor exploration expedition when it
passed through Bellevue century
ago On its return it stopped at the
place and made the building its head
quarters. Later the buildin~ was used
for a mission.
Later the first Nebraska Masonic
lodge was organized in this building
and the first Master Mason of the
lodge was Henry T. Clarke, who made
the gavel for the centennial of the
building in 1910. Mr.. Bedford received
the gavel from Mr.. Clarke
In accepting the gavel Lieutenant
Governor Howard said that he cher
ished the site of Bellevue for its
beauty and for the fact that there he
picked beautiful flower of woman

MEDICS TO ENTER
AMBULANCE WORK
Students of University School
of Medicine Offer Services
to President Wilson.
TALK BY DR.. BANISTER

Fifty students of the University OF
Nebraska School of Medicine pledged
their services for the formation of an
ambulance company Tuesday after
noon following a meeting called by
DR.. c. w. NJ. Poynter, head of the
department OF anatomy. Roy T.
Maurer, elected temporary secretary,
pending the military formation OF the
organization, telephoned the names to
Chancellor Avery of the University
of Nebraska, who was asked to offer
the services of the organization to
the president.
About $50 students were present at
the meeting and all seemed anxious
to join. No seniors were taken owing
to the fact that in case hostilities
started the upper classmen would
probably be advanced to higher posi-
tons owing to the fact that for the
last two months they have been TAX
ing special work under DR.. ]. NJ. Ban
lister, retired medical officer, now on
the retired list with the rank OF
colonel.
Special Course for Seniors.
DR.. Banister attended the meeting
of the deans Of medical schools called
by the War department recently in
order to outline a special military
medical course for all seniors. The
course is now a part of the curriculum
of the seniors at the. medical school.
A number of the faculty at the Uni
versity OF Nebraska School of Medi-
cine are members of the reserve medi-
cal corps and subject to call for mill
tary duty. They are: A. P. Stokes,
w. E. Eggers, A. A. Johnson and
Lynn Hall.
Practically all of the students who
enlisted have had some military train
ing either in high schools or at the
two-year pre-medic course at Lin
coin, which is one of the requisites
before beginning on the medical work
here.
Even if their services are not need
ed, the students plan to continue the
ambulance organization and will ask
that some regular army man be de-
tailed to drill them so that they might
be prepared for any emergency.
DR.. Banister was one of the prin-
cipal speakers at the meeting, his
talk being on the nature of the work
the students would probably be re-
CURED to do should they be called
upon for active duty.

Varsity Students
Vote for Single
Amusement Tax

Lincoln, Feb. 7.-(SpeciaL 1.-The
single tax issue which was voted upon
by students the last week of registra-
ton at the University of Nebraska
carried by an overwhelming majority
its application being confined to
support OF college activities. The
measure affects the students them
selves and the parents ofthose not
self-supporting.
The single tax provides for a fee
to be paid by every registered under
graduate, raising a fund of approx
imately 1900 for the support of the
different college activities. 1t is to
be distributed proportionately among
athletics, dramatics, mixers, debates,
university night, the college publica-
tions and convocation programs.
Under the plan all students will be
admitted free to all athletic contests,
intercollegiate games and exhibitions.
Arrangements have also been
made to provide free medical attention
to those coming under the single tax.
The undergraduate vote stood IS
per cent for the single tax, while the
parents were even more favorably
inclined. The total vote cast was
2,026 for and 500 against.

STECHER EXPECTED
TO ARRIVE TODAY
Dodge Champion Coming to
Omaha for Match With
Peters Tomorrow Night.
PESEK IS ALSO DUE TODAY
Drawn for
The Bee
by
George
McManuS

Ready for his first tangle since his
Disappointing 60 with John DIN last
December, Joe Stecher, the Dodge
demon, is expected in Omaha today
for his clash tomorrow night at the
Auditorium with Charlie Peters, the
Papillion carpenter.
Stecher, according to the more or
less meager reports which have
trickled out of his training camp at
Dodge, is in the very best of con-
dition as good condition as when he
met Stranger Lewis last summer.
The neuritis, which gave him so much
trouble and which necessitated a pro-
longed visit to Excelsior Springs last
month, is said to have entirely disap-
peared and Joe is once more able to
stand the toughest kind of grueling
without the necessity of protecting his
arm and shoulder.
This bids we'll to make the clash
tomorrow night an interesting one
Charlie Peters has announced his in
tention of mixing it with Joe. Charlie
hasan idea that the keep away" tao
tics of Lewis and DIN are of little
value. Such scheme of battle may
prevent Stecher from throwing him,
Charlie reasons, but it would give
'IoqoslS MoIq4 o. soueqo on slslad
And Peters wants to throw Stecher,
not merely stay a couple of hours
with him. As Stecher is never in
clined to avoid a mixup some excit-
ing scrambles seem to be scheduled
for that Auditorium mat tomorrow
night.
Pesek Also Expected.
John Pesek, the Buffalo county
marvel, is also expected to arrive in
Omaha today. Pesek is coming to
Omaha determined to show the citi-
zens of the metropolis that he is some
baby at the wrestling game. He has
been training as diligently as if he
were to be one of the principals of the
main attraction, and, according to
those who have seen Pesek work,
Omahans will see a real wrestler
when they cast their optics over this
latest Nebraska phenom.
The seat sale continued to be brisk
all day yesterday and prospects are
bright for a $4,000 house, which
would be by far the largest that ever
attended a wrestling match at the
Auditorium.
