The leading ladies of the city are intorested and he who possesses wealth, or even means that will permit the expenditure of £, should respond to the call of the ladies who are man- oging the affair. Do you know the object to which the pro- ceeds will be devoted? For fear you do not let us tel! you, 1t is one of the grandest objects ever con- ceived by mortal. It will not only foster in- dependence to the poverty stricken women of Omaha, but will relieve from their minds a greater burden than is borne by their physi- cal exertions to maintain their homes. 1t is proposed to erect a building where women who are obliged to *work out" can leave their babes or little ones during the day. Competent nurses will be in charge BALL, which takes and the poor woman whose bur- den is heavy emough can be relieved of "the annoyance of caring for her offspring. ground on which the building is to be erccted has al- ready been donated, and the architect firm endlessohn & Laurio have volunteered their services to draw the plans and superin- tend the work. It is desired to erect a build- ing to cost #,000 to $10,000, The following ladies have given their undivided attention to the grand work: Mrs. Iountze, Mrs Kimball, Mrs. Woolworth, Mrs. Mercer, Mr Henry, Mrs. Barton, Mrs. Hellm Copeland, Mrs. Patrick, Mrs. Crook, Mrs. Connell, Mrs. Holdrege, M lhlndy. Mrs. Woolw orth, Mrs. (A"ofll( Mrs. ' Poppleton, ~ Mrs. ' Groff, Mrs. Pratt, Mrs. Connell, Mrs. Stephens, Mrs. Byron Reed, Mrs. Lewis Reed, Mrs. Cald: well, Mrs. Harton, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Howard Simith, Mrs. Joseph Barker, Mrs. W. B. Mil- a) Do you know what 1t is to “work out? Read ! ““With fingers weary and worn, With eyelids heavy and red; A woman sat in unwomanly rags Plying her neadle and thread. Stitch, stiteh, stitch, In poverty, hunger and dirt, And still with a voice of dolorous pitch, ‘Would that its tone could reach the ric| She sang the song of the shirt.” Sometimes the weary woman grows weary of life, and before her eyes appears the shroud and all the dread paraphernalia of death. Then she muses thus: “But why do I talk of death, That phantom of grisly form, 1 hardly fear his terrible shape, Tt seems so like my own; It seems 80 like my own Because of the fasts I keep— Oh God! That bread lhouhl be so dear And flesh and blood so cheap.” Tomas Hood touched the tenderest chords fu the human heart and the Bex trusts that the suffering women of Omaha will receive the support of the thousands of wealthy citi- sens within her boundaries.

He would rap gently on the door, and the statesman would complain bitterly at being dis- turbed, although he Knd been resting with one eye open and his mind bent on the good time in waiting. He generally felt too badly to go to the door and Mrs. Cox would Kindly consent to go_herself. The delegate from the crowd always wore a very serious look, and spoke in tone of great importance and apprehen- sion. He would tell Mrs. Cox that th was a caucus on hand at which her hus band was to preside. He always depre- cated the fact that the business of the caucus could not proceed unless her hus- band was th. as no one could conduct the proceedings without the information he carried in his head. Cox would first r this statement and would groan like a boy who has gorged himself with June apples. When Mrs. Cox returned to the bed and informed him of what was wanted he appeared to be in the greatest agony, and would threaten to resign his place in congress, if this thing is kept up. Then he would go to the door with Mrs. Cox and beg like a good fellow to be let off. But ihe mes- senger would be immovable, and would declare that hisabsence from the caucus would entail untold conveniences, Then Cox would dress himself, and in going out of the house would express cousiderable discomflture in suppressing his langhter over the accomplished mgnner in which the scheme was worked, When he returned to the house in time for breakfast next day, eis prolonged absence would always be on account of the lateness of the hour at which the caucus adjourned and his dis- like to awaken the good housewife.” —~— A \'olc From lhe Wi‘lt. Milwaukee Sentinel: Mr. Charles Dudley Warner maxkes the astounding statement that people of the east do not understand western people, and are dis- posed toregard them as barbarians. This is funny. The first thing the peo- ple of the eust know, we will discharge the whole lot of them. For they are ull our mere hired hands. The people of New York and Boston and other eastern cities live on what wages they receive from the great and booming west and what they steal from us. New York city is only a wharf for the handling of western _business. The resident of \hll ray Hill isable to live only because works for the west or steals in Wall slmut from hisneighbors, who are hired y the bounding westerners. The New ers are hired to do the drudgery of dm.k“ullup( s and eommercial go-be- tween r the west.
