BEE: FRIDAY, 28, 1801, THE OMALIA DALILY 0 NOVEMBER FEEDING THE LOCAL HUNGRY Charitable Beciesy Prevides Feaats for the Omaba Neody. AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS LEAD THE LIST Ulnner at the Barracks One of the Most Succeasfal Fune the Sort Bver Carrled Ont, Twelve o'clock, high noon, of Thanksglv- ing day, was the hour set for the free din- rner at the American Volunteer headquart- ers; 117 North Fifteenth street, but ecores of those who had been bidden to the feast were forehanded and before Lieutenant Violet Spone and her corps of nssistants had begun to peal the potatoes there was an aggregation of clamerous young appes fites banked up against the tront door. From that time on the crowd slowly took on mccretions. It was easily seon that the Afro-Americans predominated, for it had been given out that turkey would be served, and if there's anything a little negro boy likes better than ‘possum, sweot potatoes and chittlins, It's turkey. Then, as the moments dragged by fumes of the roast meat and sage dressing were wafted out r the transom and the throng outside surged tumultuously. Those who came first took up their stand on the threshold, and remained thers until pulled away by bigger boys. On the out- skirts 1ittle girls romped, becaune it wasn't Indylike to mingle with the rude boys in the crush, Raild on the Table At last an incautious Volunteer on the inside unlocked the door, and the next in- tant was almost born off his feet by the flying wedgo of “newsies” and bootblacks that poured in from the street. There was not & case of dyspepsia in the crowd. Not one of them needed a tonlo or an appetizer. 1t wirs the most ravenous company that ever finttered the handicraft of a cook, and the way they charged the breastworks of that Volunteer turkey would have won Water- 100 for Napoleon. The sentinel at the ontrance called for re- inforcoments and with their ald forced the door shut in the face of a dlsappointed rabble. ““Tables all full!” “Your turn next! Then Lioutonant blessing, maercitully was on. For a half hour the hig room teemed with fusclods odors, sounds of munching Apd pungent bita of conversation “Hey, Tedrow! Pass th' stuffin!” piped n small volee, just after Lieutenant C. W. Strayer had murmured, "“They're oft!" Then came mich ejaculations as these ‘Wow! Petie's ot all the picgles!” ay, mister, don't I git no applesass?" te's found two wishbones! No fafri” “Humph! Who wants spuds! We got ta- ters to home!® “Bay, is your name Lena? lay over and don't lean." “A cut o' th' dark meat, please “Pound his back! IHe's chokin'! “No fair throwin' th' drumsticke!" “Heoy! Break away dere! (this from the outside as the door opened a procarious six inches) 1 youke goin’ to ohew all day?” anks. ho shouted at them. E. . 8 brief, McCoy said a and the feast Well, then Too Buay for it went, throughout the entire There was no doubt but that were thankll, but they were t00 busy to know it. It was very evident aleo that they were all city ¢hildren, be- cause the big bowln of thick gravy that set about were mystbries to them. Most of them vouchsated only a suspiclous glance and passed them by, putting pipper and salt on their potatoes Instead, but one little lad called “Dago” was not to by cheated out of anything that was going simply bécause he didn’t understand it When the bow! came his way he deposited it on his plate, crummed bread ,in it and ate it for soup. And he sald 1t was “bully.” About this time the mandolin and guitar quartet struck up “The Irish Washer Woman,” and the maxillaries of the diners bad to move faster to keep time to it. Hey, pass de cheese!" shouted a little eplcure named Sammie Simon, as he con. templated his cut of apple ple. “Haint no cheese,”” was the retort of his neighbor. “Humpb! Who ever heard of ple with- out cheese!" and he shoved the pastry con- temptuously away. Another 1ad, less particular, ate the dwinty and just as tho last mouthful disap- peared the cheese came along, and then Sammie told the lad he would meet him in the alley after dinner. A little negro lad who adswers to the pround patronymic of Clyde Clifton Taylor, leaned back in his chair with languid lux- urlance and beckoned to Alde-de-Camp (George W. Andrick to approach. He spoke not & word as the officer bent: over him, but went through a pantomime that told the story. Pointing with one hand to the pilo of turkey bones on his plate, he made A caressing motlon with the other over his stomach, which was bowed out like an alderman’s. The look of seraphic tion and contentment on the lad's fac that moment was a study for a painter. ‘Then another relay of appetites was ad- mitted, followed by another and another. Later in the day a great many old people were fed. It Is estimated that altogether fully 200 persons partook of the hospitality of the Volunteers. Here Is the bill of fare: Turkey with sage dressing and gravy, bread and butter, roast beef, Boston baked beans, prunes, apples, apple ple, pickles, mashed potatoes, cheese, apple sauce, coffeo with milk and sugar. Besides this feast the volunteers sent out 230 baskets contalning dressed chickens, bread, vegetables aund fruit, each involclng §1. These were dispatched by messenger to the homes of the city's poorest poor, hames and addresses of whom had been furnished by committees of church and charity work- ers. It |s estimated that 1,500 persons were fed by this means. TONY GIVES THE BOYS A FEED 1taliua Frait Ve Takes n Gang ot Crippled “Newsles” 1nto His Big Heart, And =0 first “relay the “guests “Pony” is an Italian who wears ear rings and 8 fruit on & Farnam street corner. Mo s swarthy, and he wears a red girdle just a bit euggestive of the comlc opera brigand, but his Instincts age apparently philanthropic and his interest'in other peo- ple's physical needs sincere. For Tony did bis share in making this Thanksgiving day W intended to be. He gave a dinper; not a seven-course affair, but a very substantial meal, and he had for his invited gueats nearly a dozen boys of the street, with awesome appetites and few opportunities to fully gratify them. ‘There was “Trilby,” & lad with pititully distorted ankles and feet, and *‘Wing! $ who lost aa arm In a street car accldent three years ago, and “Spots,” the wonder- fully freckled little son of the ald sod. and “Shorty’! and “Pete” and ‘Muggins,” and ‘four others, who were, to thelr assoclat Just “de kids." ‘They went to Tony's house soon as the demand for merning papers and chrysanthe- mums was supplied and Tony was his ownp butler and his own receiving committ s i well as host. Mre. Tony was In the lean kitchen with her sleoves up and her hair down, and she had been there so long ani had been so industrious while she was there that dinner was ready early. Tony took the head of the table and the cripplad boys got the two chairs next to him. The other boys balanced themselves on upturned fruit boxes. Mrs. Tony stood up to watch the boiliug pots and the dog No one but Tony and Tony's wife may ever know all that was served at that meal for “Muggine,” whom the boys appointed 1o tell the poipers” about it, couldn’t name a single article on the bill-of-fare. H could only describe them as “some long stringy stuff with cheese in it,” or as “th hottest soup whatever'' or as “some kind of soft meat with onions enough over it to flag o dray.” At the last, Tony served each boy with a very little of the contents of a long, dark bottle and then he made a speech thirtees words long, aud “Muggios’” made a speech almost half that long and was %o frustrated when he sat down that he tipped over his box seat and the dog barked at him and the dinner broke up. For obvious reasoas Tony couldn’t lead his guests into the con- servatory or the music room, so he took them over to his frulf stand and gave each an_orange as a parting favor Tony doesn’t know it, but “de gang” met fifteen minutes later on another corner and there made plans for a certain society event of importance, to transpire Christmas day. CITY CHARITIES HAVE A BUSY TIME, T Distribution ot Provisions Makes the Morning Falrly Lively. Owing to the Imperative condition of the Aseoclated Charities, it remained for Dean Falr, Mrs. Pearman and a few others to form a substitute organization, which they styled the Clty Charitles, to provide Thankegiving dinners for the several hun- dred of the city's poor, who, but for the efforts of such friends, would know little difference between Thankegiving and any other day For a fortnight past they have solicited clothing and provisions, all of which were gathered in yesterday and gotten ready for the distribution, which occurred from one of the store rooms in the lower part of | the bullding formerly occupied Chlld Saving Institute at Eightcenth and St. Mary's avenue. Eight o'clock was the time announced for the doors to open, but long before that hour a motley assembly of a hundred or more men, women and children, chiefly the two last named, each with a basket, had arrived, and stood shiv. ering about the entrance, I1f possible, they werd a little more thinly clad than usual and there was a noticeable presence of tod- dlers When the doors were at last opened there was a rush for the long counter which stood across the rear of the room, and a lively skirmish for places in the front row, in which the dodging propensities of the children were well matched with the su- perfor- strength of their elders, and when the crowd had been restored to some semblance of order the counter line posi- tions were about equally divided between them. Then began the process of ascer- taining something of the appilcants that Justice might be done all, each basket Being filled with chicken, potatoes, bread, coffee, sugar and the customary components of the Thankeglving dinner, and as it was handed 10 its owner he passed out to make room for the next one. All morning this continued, the steady arrival of children from all quarters of the city maintaining an average of fifty or aixty endeavoring to push to the front or sce some fricnd do so. In the meantimo many of the carly pr- rivals had set down their baskets to wait for some less punctual friend still working for- ward and it was out of this thut the only trouble of the morning arose. The hollday occasion and prospect of a dinner had added somewhat to the natural cheerfulness of the street urchins, and being relieved of all anxiety regarding the securing of thelr share, some of the walting ones with their smaller brothers became hilarious and for a few minutes their effervescence threatened to create trouble by arousing 11l feeling among those who were atill un- provided for, and whose chances were momentarily growing less. Trouble was averted, however, by an experienced worker who called out that it was about time for those who wanted any of the Volunteers dinner, to be getting down there. The effect was Instantaneous. “‘Where's it at” came in a chorus”from the waiting ones and tho reply, “Fifteenth and Dodge” bad scarcely been given before the young- sters went tearing out of the door and relleved the room of Its surplus erowd. It was almost noon before the supply of provisions was exhausted and the workers estimated that about 150 families had been provided for. by the HOSPITALS ALL OBSERVE THE DAY, All the Good Things the Sick Can Stand Are Served. The various hospitals of the city gave an extra spread in honor of Thanksgiving and from the menus it was certainly “good to be sick.” Clarkson hospital served a regular course dinner to the nurses and those of ‘its pa- 4lents who were able to partake. The menu consisted of oyster soup, turkey, cranberry eauce, celery, salads, mince ple, lce cream, nuts, fruits and all the necessary vegetables to make it a Thanksgiving din- ner. The dinner was served at the noon hour. St. Joseph's hospital did not fall to re- member Thanksgiving in the good old way. Turkey with cranberry sauce, mince ple, coffee and other good things were served. A majority of the 141 patients partook of the dinner. The Emergency hespital served one of the best dinners In the history of the institu- tlon. Turkey, oysters, celery, vegetables, etc., were on the bill of fare. Mps. Mc- Coy, wite of Superintendent McCoy, sent to the patients a five-layer jelly cake, mince ples, jelly pickle, apples, etc. The dinner was followed by clgars contributed by triends. There were seven patients In the hospital and all enjoyed the feast At Emanuel hospital no particular effort was made to get up a spread, though the patients and nurwes were treated to a din- ner of turkey, mince ple and everything that goes to make up an {dea) Thanksgiv. g dinner, It w rved at 12 o'clock. The Presbyterlan hospital dinner w served at the regular dinner hour. It con- sisted of oyster soup, turkey, crauberry auce, French peas, pickles, mince ples, white mountain cake, vegetables, etc. The Methodist hospital served w regular thodist dinner, comsisting of turkey, mince etc., vegetables, “lnoluding po- tatoes.® It was not Intended as an extra §00d spread, however. At the county hospital the ueual Thanks- giving custom wae followed and turkey, mince ple, oysters, celery, vegetables, etc., were served. The Inmates number 200 and all were fed good and plenty.” THOSE IN JAIL GET THEIR SHARE, Turkey and Cranberry Served Most of Prisone At 1o place fu the city was Thank more thoroughly enjoyed than at the city jail. The dinnor consisted of turkey, eran- borries, mince ple, celery, coffee, vegeta blus, etc. Forly prisoners were feasted, ten of the men belng arrested this morning— seven of whom, inclyding Boston @reen— giving Inquired It Thanksg! dioner was belng wserved today. As odor of the cooking turkeys penetraled the cell room the pris oners commenced their celebration and con tinued to sing and yell until the dinner was served, at 3 o'clock. One of thelr favorits yells was He's all right! Who's all Hight? De cuke lady At the county Jall another feast was served. The dinner consisted of turkey mince ple, celery, cranberries, coffes, vege tables, followed by cigars and cider. At an early hour bakkets com o4 to arrive from the friends of the various prisoners the contents of which, spread with the din- ner served by the jail cook, made a feast that prisoners seldom have an opportunity to enjoy. Thirty-five prisoners were fed YOUNG MEN GET SQUARE MEAL Christian Association Handed Host for dre Them, s Agnain Free- Two Hun- ot The members of (he Younk Men's Chris tian association gave their annual dioner | to the young men who work in Omaha but who reside elgewhere, including members and non-members, yesterlay evening at the association rooms. Covers were laid for 175, the tables being presided by following: Messrs and Mesdames 1. W. Carpenter, H. €. Her- ring, J. H. Dumont, H. J. Penfold, G. K. Babcock, W. S. Krider, F. B. Barnes, G. G Wallace, T. F. Sturgess, C. N. Dawson, S W. Lindsa§, L. B. Chaffee, L. Willls and Dr. W. O. Henry, assisted by a number of young women. The dinner consisted of turkey, cranberry, celery and those other concommitants of the first-class Thanks- lving dinner. The hall was decorated with bunting and flowers and was beautitul. I. W. Carpenter, president of the asocia- tlon, acted as tonstmaster. Toasts were dolivered by Franklin W, Ganse of Chicago and Rev. H. C. Herrlng. Music was fur- nished by the assoefation quartet and C C. Brown. Mr. Ganse spoke of the ad- vantages of the young men in the west and of the many opportunities open for them He predicted that in a short time Omaha would be one of the best and most jm- portant eitics fn the country. Rev. Her- ring talked on Christian manhood The dinner was one of the most thor- oughly enjoyed the association has ever glven PAIN FOLLOWS THE FEAST sturbing Element Night Hours nt the ity ovér the Minee ¥ in The night shift at the city jall has & grudge against the day shift and is planning to ho revenged Christmas day. when the shifts will be changed. The night men are wroth because the day tide served a big turkey dinner to the prisoners and left them to administer to the over-fed men last night. One of the officers said: “Christ- mas doy we will get even with them. We'll set up a dinner that will result in a con- cert for the night shift, which will make the performance tonight seem like Uncle Tom's Cabin parade compared to Caesar's triumphant entry into Rome. Our dinner will not only inclide turkey and mince pic, but fresh cucumbers as well.” Yesterday the prisoners were treated to a ! teast of fowl, mince pie and other things good. Some were suspected oven of break- ing into jail in order to get some of the dinner, and while they were not disap- pointed a majority paid dearly for the pleasure before morning. For hours before and after the dinner the jail rang with “sweet melodles” from the prisoners in praise of the feast. Tho song service con- Bisted of everything from the latest rag- time to “Home, Sweet Home.” About 10 o'clock occurred a brief interval of quiet, broken only by an occasional snore, Suddenly from out of cell No. 13, occupled by George Stricker, came a serles of groans | that startled the entire jall force. Drs. .)I'I”"n and Benawa, acting for Police Sur- geon Borglum, were hastily summoned and in rush made for the cell. The prisoner was writhing on the floor in the greatest agony. “Strychnine poisoniug,” sald an officer, | “I'm glad T didn’t search him." Strict—nothing,” groaned the prisoner | “1t's mince ple.” Stricker's were the starters for a fusi- 1ade of groans from nearly every cell. Long drawn out “'Ohs” were suficiently agonizing to unnerve the bravest “Shut up!” yelled Boston Green. “Po’ white trash got no bizibss eatin' turkey anyhow when they ain’t use to It.” Those of the prisoners who were not making jackknives of themselves were en- joying hugely the discomfort of their fel- low prisoners. Timothy Jones, who was In cell No. 10, was doubled up in the regulation manner, but failed to groan. “Why don’t you groan,” inquired an officer whose patience had been overtaxed. “It hurts bad enough, and 1 guess 1 de- serves it—but say, wasn't it a h—— of a gorge?” The concert continued fntermittently throughout the night, but with no fatalities. GIVE HELP. KING'S DAUGHTERS Provistons Gathered and Distributed Among Poor Famille The King's Daughters of Trinity cathedral made their distribution of Thanksgiving provisions Wednesday morning from the parish house, fifty-three worthy families, the majority of whom ‘belong to the parish or are under the direct care of Its workers, being provided for. Each basket contained a real feast of turkey or chickens, a pound of tea and coffee, from five to ten pounds of sugar, cereals, canned goods, and, where there was an invalid In the family, fellles, fruit and other delicactes. r—-—————-—-————:——-———-———w—-——z——.,—————— NEBRASKA 1S THE CHAMPION' (Continued from First Page.) rubbing he recovered and the ball was agalnin play.

The teams were taken into secludad spots for a little private drill and instruc- tion by their coaches In the second half the teams changed Koalw, thus giving the Cornhuskers the advantage of the wind the Indians had in the first, which was by no means small The Irdians kicked off and Drafn caught the ball and advanced with it (wenty vards, gracefully dodging the Indfans, who were close upon him. The Nebraska men seemed to have regained thelr spirits, for they played with somethng like their old time effectiveness On the first down Drain took the ball and punted into the Indian territory fumblo by an Indian kept the ball stiil In Nebraska’s possession. Then by swift terrific work the ball was carried gradually and steadily nearer the goal, until it was lost one foot trom the line on the third down. Only a few inches more would have scored a touchdown, but the distance was too great to be overcome. It was a critical pofnt and the erowds awaited with breathless interest the out- come of this play, in which Nebraska had an opportunity to cross the much coveted goal. Nebraska's Lost Opportunity. But the swarthy Indians rallied at the opportune moment and prevented that which would have cheered the hearts of the 3,000 loyal Nebraska supporters who crowded the stands. The Indians attempted to work out into the fleld, but were held back and forced to punt, which gave Ne- braska the ball out of bounds, opposite the twenty-yard line. Again Nebraska spirits soared upward The ball wus twenty yards almost directly in front of the goal and in Nebraska's pos- session and the first down had not been made. The Cornhuskers arose to the emergency and on two downs advanced five yards. Repeated galns brought the ball to within two yards of the goal line. But the spirits dropped as suddenly as they had risen, for the ball was lost once more within two feet of the goal line on the third down. With easy but small galns the Indlans brought the ball back to the conter of the fleld, where it was recovered by Nebraska and punted to the Indians' 25-yard line. The Indlans returned with a punt and the Cornhuekers repeated tho the Cadet band 5-yard line, where it was caught by Kings- bury after It had been missed by one of the dusky Redmen. Archiquette's braves for the time seemed demoralized and the pale-faces gained slowly but steadily on straight line bucking. Nearer and nearer the ball was pushed towards the goal. The band struck up “There's be a hot time” and the rooters joined in tNe refrain. 1 nt Lnst. Two yards from the goal line Pillshury was given the ball and he euccesstully cleared the great abyss.

It was a great run and eheer after cheer went up as the ball was car- ried nearer the goal The run brought the ball to the twenty-yard line and the remaining distance was e A touchdown by Bell apd a clear goal by Draln made the core 12 to 10. Pandemonium was supreme. Hats went into the air. Substitutes and spectators out on the side lines pranced In their enthusiasm and the rooters sent forth yell after yell. The day had been saved for Nebraska and everybody rose in a riot of gladness. The ball was again kicked oft by the Indians and downed by Nebraska on the twenty-yard line. It was quickly brought into play and given to Bender, who, by a mighty cffort dashed through an opening at left guard and ran clear on down the entire length of the fleld for minety yards ard scored a touchdown. It Nebraska's supporters were glad before they were now overjoyed, They were wild with enthu- slasm. Whirlwi Never In this season and seasons past had there been su stration as greeted Nebraska's little right half as he made this sensational play. The ten Nebraska players gathered about their cbamplon, lifted him high above their heads and carried him triumphantly out on the fleld amid deafening applause from the benches. The run was & spectacular performance and it stirred every person In the assemblage. Drain liftgd the ball prettily over the goal and the store was 18 to 10, The remaining minutes of the game were full of sensational plays. The Indlans kicked off, but were unable to stand against the whirlwind that came upon them. Drain, of Hurral seldom in a demon- 4 hap- | and | play, sending the ball back to the Indians' | Shedd and Bender were sent ends for big gains and Shedd, by a run of forty yards around the Indians’ left end arried the ball dangerously near the goal where it dled when time was called.

For obvious reasons it {s not wise to mention names in such a case, For the facts of this life story are so common that any woman could relate them to some of her married friends, and probably might do so, if the name happened to fit. Therefore, a real story is printed under a wrong name. 'Vhen Mrs. Brown married she was what every one called a remarkably fine {ul. She was the very picture of health, She knew nothing about headaches or nerves, but enjoyed life thoroughly— working or playing. Hverybody cailed Brown a lucky man, and Brown thought 80 himsel{. After the first baby came, Mrs, Brown began to feel tired sometimes at the end of the d Then there came another little guest, and the mother used to feel tired before the end of the day came, She knew now that she had nerves, and also had learned the mean- ing of headache. About this time peo- ple used to speak of Mrs. Brown's fatfing off in looks. Her figure lost its graceful lines, her cheeks their rosy plumpness. Mr. Brown wasn't losing anything, by the way. He was putting on flesh, and showed in every way the comfortable case of a man who has a home and & good wife to manage Mr. Brown believed in large familie Ever{I visit of the stork was to him a cause of happi- ness. No man could have been more proud of his family. He didn't realize cither his own selfishness or his wife's sacrifices. If he had seen a true picture family life it would have shown him in a cart surrounded by a happy family and his wife in the shafts wearily, but willingly, drawing the heavy load. They got just one too many on the load at last, and after that the meighbors spoke of the /afe Mrs, Brown, FAST-LIVING WOMRN. It is not only the women who turn night into day and sacrifice health to pleasure who live fast. The wife and mother who in household duties and maternal cares exhausts vitality more rapidly than it can be supplied, is also living fast, and fast living does not mean long living. 1n a normal condition of bealth a woman is equal to all womanly obligation: She can e the house and rear a family, and a_grandmother still show the signs of womanly beauty and strength. _But 0 few women are normally healthy. Their vitality is often lessened by un- healthy drains, by disease of the delicate womanly organs, while the household cares increase as the family grows. Ev- ery child gets its strength from its mother. As a fact, the rrwpufive niother snould be relieved from every possible burden and anxiety, instead of which she carries the household burden to the last. Is it any wonder that under these drc'nmauntu her strength fails, and she breaks wit under a load whieh ph; cal weakness can no longer sustaly? he conditions of our life are such that wemen do not have, ns a ruls, fit opportunity for rest and recreatlon, The necessity, therefore, 1s apparent for some strength-praserving and strength- creating medicine to eure the diseases that weaken women and to strengthen them for the obligations of maternity, That medicine exists and has been the means of restoring thousands of weak and sick women to lasting health, “1 had poor health for nine years (ever since the bhirth of my child),” writes Mrs. Armintie Watkins, of Acm Kavawha Co, W, Va.
