HBLEN KELLER IS FULL OF INTEREST Takes Keen Delight in Everytaing, Even to Being Put on 4 Wrong Train. NORWEGIAN PASTIME | | | MEETS BLIND OMAHA GIRL/ | Smiling radlantly, Heleh Keller, the blind deal girl, who acquired speech after years of tireless effort, arrived In Omaha Saturday after- noon and was immediately whisked to the Boyd theater, where a packed house had been awalting her ar- rival for over an hour. The depar- ture of the Keller party from Des Moines had been delayed through | the oversight of hotel attaches, who placed them aboard” a Chicago bound train and a delyed train sched- ule further upset the plans of the party. “This has been a day of adventure and mishaps,” murmured Miss Keller, to whom no detall, of the disarrangemens of plans was unknown. Her vivacity and expressive gestures| were most interesting to behold. In appearance, Miss Keller is tall apd well- bullt, with brown. hair, healthfol: com- plexion and the largest blus eyes with énly the very faintest trace of ‘a Tfar- away experssion Lo tell ‘that they ‘are sightless. Meets Omaha 1. While Mrs. Anné Sullivan . Macy, Miss Keller's lifelong instructor and compan- fon, was telling the story of Helen Kel- ler's life and the manner in which she learned to speak, Ethel Hill, a 1year- old Omaha girl,' who attends the Nes braska City School for the Blind, was brought into the dressing room by Miss Ruth Sexton, her teacher at the instl- tute, Miss Hill, too, lost her sight and hearing at an early age and the meeting of the girls was full of pathos. 4 Miss Keller thréw her arms around Mias HIll and kiséd her heartily, Quickly as lightning their sensitive fingers moved in voluble conversation. Another bind girl, Alma seumi, conversed with Misk Keller, who passed het fingers lightly over her face and embraced her uently during the few mofents, they were permitted in the dresging room.

He |ealled at the South Omaha yards, met President Everett Buckingham of the Unjon Stock Yards company and was shown over the yrds nd through the magnificent new horse barn where the | show is to be held. | Mr. Stone says Omaha was chosen by | the unanimous consent of the committee [ because all realize tha tthe pure breed | business 1s taking better and better hold in the west, and because Omaha is cen- trally located. Then, too, he said they could not overlook so excellent a place | to hold the show as the big modern horse barne f the Union stock yards of Omaha ® Enst Will Meet West. “This show at Omaha will bring the easterr. breeder and the western breeder closer together than they have ever been before and will foster a more friendly feeling between them.” he sald. “This will bring larger exhibits'and of better quality than any swine show ever heid This exhibit will be greater than any | Wwine exhibit ever held at any world's falr.

Wwhy they should differ on this issue Both parties are patriotic.” i | Difficult t oMaintain Peace. ! The president spoke of the effeots of ' the war to show the difficulties facing | America. ““Where nations are enxaged as many are now,” he continued, “they are liable | to be steadfastly intent on their public purposes. The actions of other nations react on America and it {s hard to turn them from their purpose. “It has been very diffioult to maintain | peace, but I am the friend of peace. There have been hourly dangers. Often it has been impossible to control the situation because were involved, Mints War May Come. “As your responsible servant I must tell you that the dangers are .constant. 1 must go out and tell the people that new circumstances have arisen which made it necessary that America defend Itnelf."” The president spoke these words slowly | and solemnly amid deep silence, When he concluded that portion of his address the applause was mar) ‘We should be prepared,” continued the president, “not for war or anything that smacks of aggression, but for ade- quate national defense. - ““I am not afraid that America will not do enougl. I am only eafnestly desirous that it should be coolly considerate of what it does. One cool judgment is wrth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat. “Americans were born into the world to do service and no man is a true Amer- joan who does not seck to serve man- kind." Addresses Overflow Meeting. President Wiison later spoke to an overflow meeting composed principally of women. The president declared women were as much inteersted in national defense as the men. But women, h' addd, oftn are closer to the heart of the nation than mon, who are absorbed in business and other purposes. “In the home,” he .continued, ‘the ‘women are able to fel the pulse of the nation. The old cry for the defense of the hearth and the home was not par- ticularly inspiring for it is easy to fight for one's own. But it is harder to fight for the people as a whole or a govern- ment. “‘Nobody supposes that if wa have time enqugh we cannot defend ourselves, But now the world is on fire. We must not until the fire spreads to us. We cannot control the fire and govern its spread. T do not believe the first must touch us’'but we must be ready to meet it. “8o far we have held arm's length by patience will continue to do so. ! ““People tell me I must maintain peace and also the honor of the country. Per- 1 see no immediste danger but you must | be ready if trouble comes. “I want every one of you to stand be- hind the government in what it 1s doing | for the natiopal defense.' Explaine Army Plans. Explaining his army plans, the presi- dent said the pation must have a body of clviians famillar with camp life and sanitation, the use of arms and the rudi- | ments of military tralning, 1 “The people who must defend the coun- try,” he went on, “must be the people of the couniry themselves, “Some mes will not be convinced, 1f & men 15 %0 in love with peace that he cannot come out of his trance, I envy him his dream.
