Good eats, but anxious to get
home" is the way Jack Jellison, son
of Mrs. Minnie Jellison, one of the
day proof readers on The Bee. puts
it in writing home.
Jack Jelison is an Omaha boy
and went to France last June as a
corporal with the Second Provision

writing his last letter home, April
"a last, he was stationed at Brest,
France. Prior to enlisting he was

speaks of General Rershing having

NETS and on signs about the camp
At another time Secretary Baker
called at Jacks tent and commended
his work. The young man asserts
that his tent is regular picture

decorating is of his handiwork. He
adds that if he had American paint
and American brushes with which

is a matter in which she takes much
personal interest, and she frequently
goes through the grounds and marks
the trees which may be felled, as
there are number which she has
had planted there for old associa-
TONS sake and which she wishes to
preserve. These she will not allow
to be touched-a huge Wellingtonia
gigantica, for example.
Talks of France.
One of her chief pleasures is to
meet with some officer in the hos
pital who can chat with her about
France and of the localities with
which she was most familiar.
Her second absorption-though
probably the first in interests the
preservation of anything and every
thing which has relation to the old
Napoleon dynasty. Although she
now rarely talks of it, she still holds
the belief that the dynasty will be
revived and that France may once
again have a Napoleon on the
throne.
Attached to the house is a museum
which visitors are sometimes al
lowed to inspect. This contains the
remains of Napoleon I. and some of
the court dresses which she wore
when she sat on the French throne.
There is also the carriage in which
she drove to be married to Napol-
con III.
War Reduced Encourage.
Her pre-war encourage consisted
of ~ servants, but this number is
cut down at the present time to
! from IS to 18. French is the Ian
guage exclusively used in the house
hold, except when visitors are pres
emit, when the English language is
adopted.
Recently newly-arrived English
maid was waiting on the ex-empress
at tea, and she was rather startled
when he raugust mistress asked for
une brioche.
"A brush, your majesty" faltered
the maid.
The order was then given in Eng
lish, but the French accent still left
the maid in doubt and she told the
assistant cook that:
Her majesty wants bone!
The cook, greatly wondering, car
ried the order to the chef. who sent
back to know what sort of bone was
required.
Not caring again to approach her
mistress for enlightment the maid
fled to an interpreter and explained
the whoel matter to him.
He then told her that brioche did
not mean brush" but was the
French word for bun.

Divorce Queues Have
Sprung Up in London
Due to War Weddings
By FLOYD MACGRIFF.

London - (By Mail) - Divorce
queues are the latest. During the
war when the people got accustom-
ed first to food queues, then theater
queues. then auto-bus queues. then
train queues and very often restaur-
ant queues. the population likewise
got in the habit of standing in line
and patiently waiting for things. So
the divorce queue is looked upon as
a natural evolutionary development.
Many hasty marriages were made
during the war, some of the brides
evidently believing their husbands
might get done in" at the front
and, perhaps, many of the husbands
wishing as much. Now, with the
war over. and husbands and wives
finding they must really live to-
gether they are seeking the solace
of the disjoiner of nuptial ties.
Then, too. three or four years alb
sence made considerable difference
in the lives of many couples, and
the mutual desire for new start
or new DEAF has manifested it
self in a rush for divorce.
Says Harry Wilson, well-known
London divorce lawyer:
There have been more deeds Of
separation drawn up in the last two
years than in any previous 20
years"
He says the women are crowding

A group of snub -nosed keelboats
blowing up the yellow waters OF
the Missouri laden with baled three
point blankets, bolts of scarlet and
blue Cloth and all the gauds and
trumperies that could be traded for
rich cargo of furs at the head wa
tiers of the Big Muddy" is the
opening scene in The Song Of
Three Friends" a narrative poem of
the Missouri river valley of a CEN
fury ago. John G. Neihardt sings
the story of the men of that day in
verse that is compelling and heroic
in spirit and in form.
AS a poet of the period that
marks the settlement of the great
lands west of the mississippi,
Mr.. Neihardt is alone in the field.
No other poet has recognized the
vast literary possibilities in the pic
turesque life of the early adventur-
ers of the Missouri valley or that
:ne conquering of this storm-swept
land brought out the same kind of
men for the task as the crossing the
Atlantic did few centuries before.
Classic of Missouri Valley.
Neihardt's STORY of Hugh Glass, "
the second of the cycle, although
written first, has already won its
fame as a classic of the Missouri
valley and is now put out in a
school edition (Macmillians), with
maps and notes on the wonderful
crawl of the hero, Hugh Glass. Mr..
Neihardt, still a young man, has the
rare fortune of seeing his work rec
ognized in its legitimate place, that
OF an epic story of the great north
west.
Such recognition has seldom been
accorded living poets as that that
the poet OF Bancroft, Neb., is now
receiving.
1.-THE Song of Three Friends" is
a story in heroic verse that one
reads for the sheer interest of the
plot, the tragedy, the comedy, and
the extraordinary beauty of tale
turned from a highly skilled pen.
As stories go, this one is based on
the Ashley-Henry expedition that
set out from St. Louis northward in
tile spring of 1922; no fictitious
names are used; even the incidents
of the tales appear on the files of
the Kansas Historical society at
Topeka and were published in The
Missouri Intelligencer of Sept. 4,
1929. A band of 100 men, eager to
find their fortunes in the rich fur
trade of the northwest assembled the
river. The beauty of an early spring
was everywhere about them.
Pale green was every slough about
About tho Platte. pale green was
every slough:
And still pale green fingered at
So close they trailed the march
ing OF the South.
Three Frontier Friends.
Among the men were three
friends, Will Carpenter, Mike Fink
and Fronk Tableau; all rough from
tiersmen fond of fighting and drink
ing with the crowd but steel-true to
each other in spite of differences
that often arose. 1t was rite OF
friendship between Carpenter and
Fink for the former to set tin cup
of whisky on his head let Tableau
step off the range between them and
the other to shoot the cup with his
rifle. This was done to signify that
the quarrel was at an end.
The change in their relations came
at the summer camp among the
CARPENTER consents and is killed by
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-05-25

Fink, whether by accident or intent
no one can quite discover. The two
remaining friends go north again
and are lost in burning desert,
Fink confesses that he intended to
kill Carpenter, but now Bills ghost
walks with me in the desert" In
the chapter, The Third Rider we
find Tableau bent on avenging the
death OF his friend.
As he broods over the situation
be concludes:
All that he hath
4 man will give for life! But shall he
For living that which makes it good to
live
The consciousness of fellowship and
trust?"
In his anger he drives Fink east
And relentlesslv follows him with
his gun in hand refusing to give him
a drink of water saying:
| 'Yeu spilled the only drink in all the
30 and think what you have done"
Blood Indians, when Fink wooed
and lost the beautiful young half
breed, Long Knifes adopted daugh-
ter. She is introduced into the story
in this artistic passage,
There was a woman,
And was she far-this woman? Legend
keeps
No answer: yet we know that she was
II truly comes the tale by many tongue
That one of Red Hairs party fathered
her.
What need to know her features as they
Was not she beautiful as her lovers
And beautiful as that wild love she
Was fatal? Vessel Of the worlds desire,
Did she not glow with that mysterious
That lisht. through earth or burns the
What face was hers who made the time
A b.ieful torch forever, Hers, who
walled
Upon the altar when the four wind, failed
Or Iseult from the contemplated cup
OF everlasting thirst? What wondrous
Above the countless cradles of the race
Makes sudden heaven for the blinking
eyes?
One face in truth! And once in Paradise
Each man shall stray unwittingly. and
In some unearthly valley where the tree
With golden friutage perilousfy fraught
Still stands-that image OF Gods after
thought.
Then shall the world turn wonderful and
strange!
Gave Love to Other.
Certainly it was a fatal blow to
the happiness of the three men
when the Indian maiden gave her
love to Carpenter and not to Fink.
Days wore by, the breach widened
between the two men until a game
of cards gave the setting for fight
Here is one of the best described in
ci6ents of the thrilling tale. The poet
gives us a picture of a struggle in
which the gloss of human nature
and civilization has not part; it is a
world old fight given free rein and
the reader gets the thrill of an eye
witness as he reads the story. Car
penter wins.
On the return southwark the
quarrel apparently heals over and
Tableau urges Carpenter to accept
the old feat of "the shooting of the
cup" as test of Fink's forgiveness.
As Fink sinks away in the desert
1ableau realizes that he has gone
too far in passing judgment so he
sets out to find his erring friend; at
last he does find him-dead.
After a hundred years this tale
that passed from lip to lip in plains
mems hunting camps has been glori-
fled by the poet of the great north
west, into a living classic of our
own land.
