aArt EOS Arts sakeD in oman.

The president Of the local fine arts society
berates his fellow citizens because Of manifest
indifference to the attractions Of an exhibit now
being made at hotel. He expresses despair
for the future of art in Omaha, but this may
be merely his chagrin over apparent lack Of APP
probation in the immediate instance. We feel
sure that down in his heart Of hearts the gem
tleman cherishes the hope that his long and
impeccable devotion to the cause of art for arts
sake will not come to nothing in the end. His
example and that Of the others who are associ-
atsd with him in promoting the cause of culture
and refinement can not be wholly lost. In de-
tense Of the masses who have shown so little
sign Of response to the present call, it might
be cited that they are not as yet entirely re-
covered from the preoccupation Of war; The
ordinary mind does not turn with such facility
from contemplating the stark drama Of bloody
battle so stupendously staged, to the chaste
esthetic joy of modern painting, even though
it be masterpiece. Wait until hgrim-visaged
war; has entirely "smoothed his wrinkled
'front.'" and then, while we may not all "caper
lightly in a lady's chamber TO the iascivious
blessings Of Lutte" we can give more re-
spectful heed to the call Of art for arts sake.
Give us time, oh devotees Of the Muses.; wait
until the harsh, stern notes of Mars have
ceased reverberating. and see if we can not find
something Of the pure delight and Joy Of liv-
ing in the clean atmosphere Of painting, music,
poetry and other things that elevate while they
instruct and purify.

THE JESTER.

Come back, yoa old court Jester,
with cap and bells of yore.
Those rabid kings were sorry things
For which to go to war
But since we have uncrowned them
And sent them on their way.
Spring from the gloom that shrouds your
tomb,
And teach US how to playI
Set free your Walls OF laughter
Have done with sobs and signs;
The melancholy days have passed
The sun Is In the skies.
Take you the crown the king dropped
down,
And fit 1t to your brow
A reign Of mirth will suit the earth
Right merrily just nowg
Come back, you old court Jester,
With all your merry mien.
Revive Pierrot, and gaily show
Fair Folly for your queen.
Come, trip the light fantastic
As blithely as Of yore.
The king is deadl So reign instead,
And flout the gods Of war;

They Called HIM "Teddg" :

They called him 'Teddy'-everybodv did
That tells the story. In the APPLICATION Of that
name to the honored dead there Is a revelation
Of the true character Of the man.
Teddy was more than a nickname Like
the well known "Marse Henry" and 'Uncle
Joe, if was expressive of more than mere
good will or kindly regard-it signihed genuine
Affection Men who do not have in them that
which wins confidence and inspires affection
DO not create il others the habit Of speaking
d them or to them in terms like these.
Not since the black shadow Of death fell
upon the land in 1861, and Lincoln was struck
down BY the assassin, has the death OF any
american brought to 50 many hearts il al
parts of the country in all the walks of life
THE sharp pang OF grief and sense of personal
as well as national loss.
Tie had his faults, Of course. and those who
admired and loved him most suffered most on
account Of them, but, faults and all, he was
more nearly the popular hero of the American
nation than any other man Of his time
They called him "Teddy"-everybody did,
because He belonged to everybody. His whole
fife was given to the public service, and not
less truly during the last ten years of private
lie than when he was filling first one place of
usefulness and then another, according to
where lie seemed to be most needed. He moved
up Oh down in official station from state to
federal service and back to municipal, as the
cali Of duty might dictate, and was great in ALL
Bar all the while the people called him
Teddy And TEDDY" he will remain In the
memory of a grateful and admiring and affec-
tiauafe people till the last OF his generation
has followed him into the country whittier he
has gone And even after that generations yet
