Sunday morning, October 2S, 1917,
Eugene Perry departed this life at
$40 a. m. and took her fight, to the
bosom of the Saviour who said, "Suf-
fer the little children to come unto
me and forbid them not, for of such is
the kingdom of heaven" She died at
her home, 1920 Cedar street and
was the youngest child of her mother.
She leaves her mother, two sisters
and one brother to mourn her death.
She asked Sister Harriet Kelso to
sing the song of Jordan while she
crossed over and the song was sung
in the spirit.
Without a sob or sigh,
So YEARLY and trustingly,
The darling child saw death approach
And laid her down to die.

NEGRO SOLDIERS.

1t is indeed refreshing in thest
days of intense hatred that some
parts of the United States evinct
for Negro soldiers to have loya
white friend to say a few kim
words in their behalf. The follow
ing excerpt from the Columbus Dis
patch meets our unqualified approva
and gives us pleasurable pleasure
Listen:
About ten per cent, or sixty
thousand of the selected men in
the army are Negroes. They
are in practically all of the
camps, and are being drilled IN
many instances by officers of
their own color They have
their own organizations; that is,
the cOlored men and white men
do not belong to the same COM
panies or regiments. These col
ofed troops seem to be getting
along very well.
But there are lot of people
in this country who seem to
know more about running an
army, or conducting a war, than
those who have made life
study of it, These busy-bodies
are now trying to stir up trouble
in regard to the Negroes. They
are well-meaning, perhaps-these
busy-bodies-b they are impraC-
ticable in most things.
One of the propositions is to
create a separate Negro division
to put all of the colored troops
into one great camp. Another
proposition is to break up the
regiments, and distribute the
companies among the white regi-
ments. Both propositions appear
to be absurd to the war depart
ment, and to those who are Civ
ing all of their thought to the
winning of the war.
The Negroes will give a good
account of themselves when il
comes to actual fighting, They are
good soldiers. They have cour-
age and endurance, about all that
is necessary in making a soldier.
if We except discipline, and the
Negro is easily disciplined He
Obeys orders readily. So We
need have no fear about the ser
vice the cOlored troops will rem
der to this country when the
time comes. The real friends Of
the Negro will let the war depart
ment run the army as it sees fit,
and not seek to make it any hard
er for either white or colored
troops.

HAPPINESS BY DETERMINATION.

HAPPINESS BY DETERMINATION.
The person who refuses to be
made unhappy by adverse things is
either wise beyond the human aver
age or most luckily constituted. The
misanthrOpe is apt, Of course, to
nurse his melancholy, and to feel su-
perior to him that throws it off. But
the misanthrope is not to be relied
upon. He exaggerates honestly;
but he exaggerates. Since even he
is gregarious by instinct, regardless
of what his habit may be, he Graves
spiritual companionship, and is ag.
grieved If others also are not wretch
ed.
Misfortune is NOT partial-at least
not more partial than good fortune
To everybody comes a share of it
or IL they think that to be so, they
II some receive an unequal portion
or If they think that to be so, they
have at least the religious and the
purely philosophical alternatives
They may look upon their miserie'
as opportunity in unbecoming gar
ments, and advance to greater thing
through trial; or they may refiec

HOW WE GOT OUR NEW STYLE
OVERCOAT.

Gloom lurked in our quarters when
we saw the new trench overcoat on
parade, and we remembered that our
last years new coat was too good
to cast aside. "Oh gloom" Why
doth thou sentence us to the class of
out-of-dates We exclaimed. But joy
came to our rescue, and we remem-
bered that our tailor could cut a
piece from the bottom of our old
coat and make belt out of it. So
we fastened to our tailor and made
him smile to the tune of S1.75, and
we stepped forth with our overcoat
three inches shorter but fitting snug
around our waist, belted down and
in the height of fashion. On joy!

PEAK IS
IDEAL REGION
FOR TOURISTS
Makes Colorado Springs the
Summer Capital for
States of the Mid
die West.

If anyone should ask which is the
most popular summer resort for Ne
braskans and Iowans the verdict
would be in almost every instance,
the Pixies Peak region. Colorado
Springs is almost summer capital
for these two states, one might feel
upon seeing the number of automo-
biles from Nebraska and Iowa, as
we'll as the number of pennants so
proudly displayed. This year scores
of car owners from these two states
are making preparations to go to the
Pixies Peak region to escape the heat.
The roads are excellent and the routes
are not long, nor hard. The Omaha
Lincoln-Denver road lead, from
Omaha through Denver to Colorado
Springs; or for a direct route to the
Pixies Peak region, it can be followed
to Axtell where it connects with
cutoff. south to Norton, Kan, and
thence west directly into Colorado
Springs over the Pixies Peak Ocean
to Ocean highway. 1t is no trick at
all for either of these drives, and
hundreds have been making them an
nually for the last few years. Then
there is of course, the Lincoln high
way from Omaha, through Kearney,
Greeley, Denver, and down to Colo
rado Springs.
Ideal Resort.
Nature has decreed that the Pixies
Peak region shall be an ideal resort
because of the innumerable charms
OF scenery as well as its riatchless
climate: Within a forty-mile circle
with Pixies Peak as the center there
are more natural scenic attractions.

region are as many as they are varied.

men. But all the operations of
all the fiim-fam artists that ever

This is the biggest gold brick

the game is worked. Organizers

Americas Big
Problem
(By Gunnar Bjornson)

(By Gunnar Bjornson)
The great problem that con-
fronts the United States today
is a food problem.
How shall the people of this
country get something to eat -?
Is the question that will be up
for solution before the Congress
of the United States very soon
should have been up long ago.
There are those who either
laugh or sneer every time that
this matter is brought up. They
tell us that this is a land flow
ing with milk and honey, so how
can it be possible that anyone
can suffer from the want of
food?
1t is less than a month since
war was declared and want and
suffering are right around the
corner!
We have shipped our food
stuff out of the country to such
an extent that the prices have
gone clean out of reach of poor
people.
Prices are now where one
might expect to see them after
