Sympathy.

Sympathy can people our life with
a crowd. The fisherman on the ocean
alone at night is not alone when he re-
members the earnest lOngings which
are arising up 10 heaven at home for
his safety; the traveller is not alone
when the faces which will greet him
on his arrival seem to beam upon him
as he trudges on; the solitary student
Is not alone when he feels that human
hearts Will respond TO the truths
which he is preparing to address to
them.-F. W. Robertson.

Women Guests See Ak-Sar'
Ben Entertainment for
First Time.

For the first time in its history
with the exception of the annua
coronation ball, the Ak-Sar-Ben der
was thrown open and its mysteries
revealed to curious feminine eyes
last night.
The den was the scene of the third
nights entertainment for visiting
merchants and their families. 1t
was a festive event.
Choice bits from the regular Ak
Sar-Ben show were rendered in
vaudeville form, as we'll as other
vaudeville acts secured for the occa-
sion. The show was a success.
Then came the carnival dance,
with colored streamers, and ice
cold punch. 1t is estimated that
1000 couples swayed to the entic-
ing jazz music. 1t was one of the
largest dances ever held in Omaha.
Many of the dancers were employees
of Omaha jobbing houses, but a
majority were visiting merchants,
the largest number ever assembled
at a merchant market week enter
tainment.
The program for today. the last
day of the eighth annual merchants
market week, includes an airplane
flying exhibition, dinner and
dance, and the distribution of
$1,000 in prizes to visitors at the
Omaha Field club.
