One of our district visitors alone, Mrs. McGinn, gathered and distributed over 250 piec Ahe sixty-five others who failed to make a report did equally well. Two hundred and eighty-five families, or in all 1,600 people, were supplled with food, fuel and cloth This work has been done by the p and treasurer, to manage, and ladies who volunteered at (1 ting which was held at the Second Presbyterian chirch January 29. They enlisted to serve two months as friendly visitors or to do anything required of them. We realize, as never before, that it Is a < of knowledge and not a willingness to be Improvident which brings most of the financial distress and all of the social and moral degredation, and we have asked our- selves many times, while talking with the weary mothers and disheartened fathers: 1s there no way in which we as their brothers and sisters in the great family of God can give to them (he benefit of our ex- perien teach them our ways of making a little go a great way in supplying the family wants, so that there will be a little left of the summer's carnings to carry them through the winter and something over for amusements and recreation? 1 repeat, amusements and recreation; for any one who stops to think of it seriously will concede that the mind can suffer starvation equally as keenly as the body, and I believe that the reason the saloons, jails, almshouses and ‘Rescue Halls' are full to overflowing 18 the result of the hunger for social recrca- tion, and the mistaken ignorance that leads people of no society into dissipation to find happiness, which, like the will-o'-the-wisp, eventually leads to their destruction. Now, if we who know of better things can, by friendly visits and frequently meeting t people, convinee them that there fs a better way to find soclal and intellectual amuse- ments, then we have solved the much-studied problem of political economy and helped to place a ladder upon the under stratum of saciety, which, like Jacob's, will reach from earth to heaven, SUGGESTS A PLAN. “We have thought much upon this portant subject during the experience the last two months and we believe we have the germ of a plan which will build a small scction of this wonderful ladder by com- mencing in the homes of the mothers and daughters, We have talked together about starting a Mothers Industrial League and Daughters Progressive Improvement club, which shall contain a nucleus of all social, moral and financial improvement. But to do this we must ha ns, and above all, the hearty support of many Christian women to conduct a general crusade agafnst sloth- fulness, indolence and crime. The money for a small beginning has already been promised and if we can enlist the servic of a few more as energetic, plucky, good women as we have had in the Eighth Ward Relief society, we ean carry forward what has been already begun and make a lasting monument for the beautifying of the city of Omaha, more grand than city parks or boulevards, and as enduring as time, for they will be set up as shrines in the house- hold and many rthstone shall be nsed and educating the mothers and the young girls who ere we ara aware will become the mothers of genera- tions who will live after us, and the littie we do for their good will be like a pebble thrown into the » which will fir ripple, then widen out and out into the far off sea and will echo back o us in joyous elody when we and they ehall stand to- ether on the beautiful shores of eternity Will you do this?

All of the surces of the well known Century were taxed and over a quarter of dollars expended before the fin- given to the public avy expenditure necessitated a selling price which placed the work at a figure beyond the resources of the great reading public. It is only necessary that The Bee, with a conception of the popular demands” of the day equally unique with that of the original planners of the book has concluded arrangemenis whereby the best and more attractive portions of the work and the {llustrations may be obtained at a nominal cost. The Bee feels confident this effort will be appreciated upon the ground that the mat- ter belongs upon the high plaue of na- tional patriotism. The great civil war was fought to a con- clusion “for the people, by the people, that the government should not perish from the earth,” and the value of its lessons exists not only for the fast fading remnants of those who stood arrayed in fighting gar- ments of blue and gray, but belongs oqually now to the civilian who toiled that others might fight, to mothers and wives who wept tears of bereavement, and es- pecially to the present generation, who see but the tattered colors and yearly reunions of the “old guard." There is hardly a page of the book which is not replete with the spirlt of noble deeds and heroic sacrifices. Agalnst the dim background of tradition the story glows afresh in the splendor of lasting flumina- tion. There can be no stronger impulse given toward a higher appreciation of true Americanism than through a perfect under- standing of the price paid for freedom. This book has been and will be read by the people on either side of the old imugi- nary sectional lines. It has drawn and will draw together still closer the common country. 1t will cor misunderstanding und exag not only in the past but also 1t will make familiar the topography of the whole country to the denizens of any quar- ter thereof.
