Mr. Bryan smiled again, and when “ Mr. Murdock said he expected a new “peace and prohibition” party headed by Bryan and Henry Ford, the former secretary threw back his head and laughed heartily. “Bryan has stood by his convic- tions,” continued Mr. Murdock, and the convention yelled approval. Mr. Murdock said that with a four- cornered fight, Wilson and Marshall, and “that tribute to the Arctic circle, Hughes and Fairbanks"—here the crowd interrupted in a roar of laugh- ter. Mr. Murdock went on to say, with Bryan and Ford behind “peace and prohibition” and the progressives with “Roosevelt and Parker for American- ism and peace and preparedness,” the country would see a most remarkable campaign. ‘The crowd yelled for a speech from Mr, Bryan, but he shook his head with a smile. ’ Youth Is Injured “ By Booster's Auto Atma, Neb., June 11.—(Special.)— Clarence Bradley, 9-year-old son of Mrs. A.

SAFE HOME FOR NEBRASKA BIRD “Sanctuary” will be presented next Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock out of doors in the natural amphitheater at Child's Point. This bird masque or play will be given by prominent Omaha men and women, members of the Nebraska Audubon society. The reason for giving it is to dedicate at Child’s Point a large tract there pur- chased by Dr. Harold Giftord for the Fontenelle Forest Reserve association as a sanctuary or place of safety for wild birds, animals and plants, Pro- ceeds from the masque will be de- voted to helping repay Dr. Gifford for the money expended. Child’s Point is a beautiful spot on the Missouri river south of Omaha Cars will run from Twenty-fourth and N streets, South Side, every twenty minutes next Saturday after- noon to near Child's Point. A great number will go in automobiles. Passengers via street cars can get off at either the old South Omaha Country club or at Child’s Point crossing. Those who want to enjoy the short country walk should get off at the former place. There they will be met by guides in woodland cos- tume who will guide them to the scene of the masque. Jitneys will meet pas- sengers who get off at Child's Point crossing and carry them direct to the amphitheater. / / Tickets are selling like the tradi- tional hot cakes. The price is 25 and 50 cents. About sixty people are en- gaged in selling. Tickets may be pur- chased also at the Thomas Kilpatrick & Co. store and the Matthews' book store. At Wilson's Summer Home. “Sanctuary” is by Percy Mackaye and was presented first three years' ago at Concord, N. H,, the summer home af President 4Vilson. At that time Miss Eleanor Wilson, now Mrs. McAdoo, took the part of Ornis, the bird spirit. In the present presentation the seven principal characters will be tak- en as follows: Ornis, the bird spirit, Miss Joy Hig- gins. Quercus, a faun, Hugh E. Wallace. Alwyn, a poet, Harry O. Palmer. Shy, a naturalist, Hart Jenks. Tacita, a dryad, Miss Pleasant Hol- yoke. Stark, a plume hunter, Jay Burns, jr. The Cardinal Bird, A. W. Jefferis. The birds will be represented by about seventy girls and boys in cos- tume. Scarlet tangiers, yellow war- blers, blue birds, red-headed wood- peckers, all the feathered folk of the forest will be seen in appropriate cos- tume. Finally comes the call: Bird and man and faun and falry, Gather now to Sanctuary. And from all .directions come the birds and the animals and men and mingle in peace and friendliness. Then comes the dance of the yellow war- blers. The object of “sanctuary” of course, is to promote more friendly feelings among men for the birds, to cement the entente cordiale, as they say in diplomatic €ircles. Birds are not only beautiful, cheer- ful, tuheful, but they are useful. Robin redbreast is not only an ornament to the lawn and a joy to your eyes, but he is a protection to the trees and garden. He eats about three times his own weight of bugs and worms'| every day. So, what if he does take a berry or two for dessert! Without the birds in this or any other country man would starve to death because the bugs and worms would destroy all the growing crops. So, you see, bird-protection should appeal to hard-headed business per- sons as well as to the kind of heart and the lovers of the beautiful. The musical part of the pageant promises to be as charming as the spectacular. Four lyrics have been composed especially for it and the bird calls of the choruses are said to be particularly delightful, There will be incidental music all through the performiance and the pre- lude, “The Song of the Hermit Thrush” will be sung by Mrs. Beulah Dale Turner, Patrons will have ‘the privilege of buying ice cream and lemonade from such classic, mythological creatures as nymphs and dryads. These nymphs and dryads will be society girls of Omaha. The ice cream and lemonade won’t be mythological, but real. Rehearsals will be held every day from now on. i Get your tickets early and avoid the rush.
