SIDE TALKS
BAD TAST1.
~ RUTH CAMERON.

The other day I heard man tell
some people all about his troublesome
younger brother who was apparently
gifted for nothing 80 much AZ FOR
cell In prison.
The man described some Of the youns
maas escapades and what time the
family had TO save him from the con
sequences. He himself had lost several
hundred dollars by him.
The story was quite unsolicited. The
people to whom he told 1t were not In
innate but casual friends.
More o1fennivs Than wrong.
i had liked the man before he started
telling that story. When he flnishe1
felt a sort Of aversion for him.
But why?
WHY shouldn't he say his brother
Was a crook when It was perfectly true
and when he had suffered so much from!
linn, I asked myself
And then myself answered. Tt may
not be wrong for him to say 50 but Its
something moro instinctively Offensive
than wrong. it's bad taste
Queer how we feel about certain
.hings, isn't It?

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN
WASH THEIR OWN HAIR

They do. not because 1t is fad,
but because they wish 10 obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that In
washing their hair il is never wise to
use a makeshift but is always ad-
visable TO use a preparation made
for shampooing only Many Of our
friends say they get the best results
from simple homemade canthro1
mixture. You can USE this at a
cost Of about three cents a sham
poo by getting some canthrox from
your druggist. and dissolving tea
spoonful in cup Of hot water.
This makes enough shampoo liquid
to apply 10 all the hair instead Of
just the top Of the head. as with
most preparations. Dandruff. e1-
cess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear in the rinsing
water. Your hair will be so fluffy
that 1t will look much heavier than
it Is. Its lustre and softness will
also delight you.

Grocer Slugged by Bandit
Whose Pal Takes His Cash

Two bandits, presumed by police to
be the same pair who during the last
few days have been exceedingly ac-
tive, last night were not satisfied with
getting $50 and $l2 check from the
cash register Of the grocery owned by
p. H. Chudocoff, 40l North Thirtieth,
but added assault to robbery when
they slugged him without provocation.
Mrs. Chudocof, who was in the rear
OF the store attending to a sick baby,
was menaced with pistol when she
came out in answer to her husbands
cry of pain.
Clell Gail, aged II, Of 2237 North
Nineteenth street, was stopped by a
man who followed him from the Dia-
mond theater, and just as the bandit ex-
claimed Hands up" his foot slipped
on the icy pavement and the robber

Short Stories of
Men Who Are in
Warning Trenches

Both Canadians and Anzacs delight
in the nocturnal raids made almost
every night on the close-lying Ger
man trenches. On one OF these re-
Gently Canadian lieutenant worked
his way unseen to an enemy dugout
and suddenly peered over the top. 1t
was a nasty, rainy night, cold and
damp, and group of Germans were
seated about little stove.
We'll share THAT among you,"
How many ofyou fellows down
there" called out the Canadian in a
raucous voice.
"Nein" came back a startled and
ambiguous reply.
well share that among YOU"
shouted the Canadian as he hurled
bomb into their midst and threw him
self flat on the ground to avoid the
effects of the explosion.
There is one chaplain at the front
who insists upon living up near the
firing line. He has nicely fitted-up
little dugout that he has labelled "The
Viearage." Recently two men be-
longing to draft fresh from home
Cockneys they were-happened along
this particular trench.
Look ere, Bill cried one, "blimey
if ere amt bloomin' vigarage."
Out popped the padre" at that with
half his face lathered and razor in
one hand.
YES" he said, "and 'ere's. the
bloomin' vicar. What can | do for
you?'
One of the most delightful stories
from the trenches has been illustrated
and distributed among the troops for
their amusement. One night an old
sergeant was doing a bit of snoop-
ing" in No-Man-s Land, between the
trenches when a recruit sentry spied
him and called out:
Halt, who goes there?"
"Shut your blooming mouth or III
come over and knock your bally head
off," replied the exasperated veteran.
Pass, friend" said the sentry.

OMAHA WAS HOST lC
GRAND DUKE ALEXIS
Buffalo Bill Helped to En-
terrain Famous Son of
Gear Nicholas.
ANNIVERSARY OF VISIT
By A. R. GROH.

Grand Duke Alexis, son OF the car
OF Russia, was in Omaha Just forty
hvc years ago today He was enter,
tanned i'll the home OF Governor Saun-
ders, which stood where the city hall
stands now.
The imperial guest and his imperial
party were escorted by General Shcri-
dan and General Custer from Omaha
out to the Nebraska plains, where
they were joined by Buffalo Bill"
Camp Alexis" was established on
Willow creek i'll what is now Dawson
county.
The grand duke smoked the pipe oi
peace with the Indians and watched
them at powwow and war dance
and bow-and-arrow practice.
Then came the buffalo hunt, which
was the principal object of the grand
dukes trip.
Alexis, fresh from the splendor and
ceremony OF the imperial court.
quickly partook OF the democracy OF
the plains, for he was real 'gooa
fellow He called Colonel Cody
Bill, and he was delighted with the
honest plainsmen, who addressed him
simply as dock, which, no doubt
terrified the members of his imperial
suite.
For the hunt the grand duke wore
Jacket and trousers of heavy gray
cloth. trimmed with green, the but
tons bearing the imperial Russian
coat-of-arms. He wore boots, an
Astrakhan cap. He carried Rus
sian hunting knife and an American
revolver, bearing the Russian and the
American coats farms on the han
die.
Buffalo Bill" and General Custer
wore buckskin hunting costumes, the
former wearing his black SLOUGH hat
and his hair falling in ringlcts down
on his shoulders.
Buffalo Bill was chosen to show
the grand duke how the buffaloes
would stand at bay when suddenly
attacked. A cow was singled out to
show him how heet-footed the fe-
males were.
AS soon as she spied them she
started off at full speed, the duke and
Custer after her. Finding herself
hard pressed, she ran up steep de-
clivity in the side of the canon and,
gaining footing on the slope, kept
along the narrow ledge, while the
duke and Custer followed her along
the bottom of the canon.
Cow Attacks Duke.
The chase was exciting, the grand
duke exhibiting great enthusiasm and
daring, pressing the COW until she
turned suddenly and made straight
toward him.
For moment it looked as though
the Russian court might go into
mourning. The grand duke described
short semi-circle with his horse
and dashed around on the other side
of the buffalo, up close to her and, be-
fore she could turn, he discharged
his revolver into her body just in front
of the shoulder. The animal fell dead.
The telegraph operator at the little
station on the Union Pacific had
something to boast about the next
day. He clicked off a telegram to
the car of Russia, signed Alexis" in
which the grand duke told his father
how he had killed "the first wild,
horned monster that had met his
ewes in America

Little Sickness
In French Army at
The Present Time

Correspondence Of the Associa ted Press,)
Fort Vaux, Dec. 5.-French SOL
diers have withstood the awful rigors
and privations of the fighting during
the wet fall in the sector around Yer
dun with notably little sickness. The
army doctor in charge of a division
told The Associated Press correspon-
dent the number of sick in many OF
the battalions was as low as three or
four per 1000.
Men in the front line are put to the
trying experience of remaining for
days at time in the open crouching
in shell-holes which have been joined
together by stiff spade-work. At this
period of the year the frequent rains
and wet mists drench them to the
skin, while the mud in which they lie
soon changes their uniforms from
light blue to color which is indis-
tinguishable from the held-gray of the
Germans or the khaki of the British
AT the same time their food, which,
of course. has to be eaten cold, is
often spoilt by the foul water pene-
trating their haversacks, and their
small supply of water or other drink
is often exhausted long before they
are relieved.
