For three years before the parole law was passed and before the peo- ple fully realized the efficacy of the “big brother” plan, Mr. Andreason contributed his services to Douglas county.

The crowning, event of all, the ten days of Ak-Sar-Ben festivities, the climax of the merry-making, is the coronation ball, to be given at Ak- Sar-Ben Den the night of October 6. Upon this ‘auspicious occasion the new king, the twenty-second of the Dynasty of- Ak-Sar-Ben and This gracious consort, will be formally crowned. To date no one knows who the “crown prince” is. This is always a profound secret known only to the members of the board of governors who, sitting as high cardinals, have in most secret session chosen him, Nor does any cat or mouse know who is the fair princess, who is to be crowned as queen, Shortly after 9 &’clock the even% of October 6, a concourse of 5, knights and ladies in gay attire at the Den will know, For at that time the bugle will sound, trumpets will blare, and the advance guard will enter, announce- ing the coming of the king and queen.

The installation of a hflise- keeper and the introduction of even- ing prayers have tamed the wildest Indian at the suburban institution. “Huh, no housekeeper shall in- spect our rooms,” grunted many an Indian athlete when he hit the cam- Flll after a summer spent in the hay- ield or on a cattle ranch, But they changed their tune when Mrs, Susie Nourse, new college housekeeper, swept airly through the corridors of Hamilton hall, invaded rooms long sacred from the prying eye of a woman, ordered new sheets and pil- lowcases put on the beds and roused the weary athletes to rise at the un- carthly hour of 8 o'clock on Sunday momin!. Tuesday evening at dinner, Presi- dent Kerr announced that short ves- er services, evening prayers, would e held immediately after the close of the meal in the room above, the par- lor of the woman's residence hall, All were invited, he indicated, The stalwart Indian braves just about wilted.

HELPING CRIMINALS | Mystery ShroudsiMembers of the Royal Family; High Cardinals Mum in all his regal majesy, and the queen in all her dainty dignity. Twelve special maids will attend the queen. Pages to the 1ueen, pages to the king, and crown bearers will be in the stately procession. Maids of honor to the number of some 150 will be in line. The twelve governors of Ak-Sar-Ben will march in the knickerbockers, silver-buckle shoes, silk stockings and other courtly cos- tumes. Maids of honor from neighboring kingdoms to the number of forty and matrons of Ak-Sar-Ben's court to the number of 240 will be in attendance. Over 300 ladies-in-waiting are in- cluded in the'grand assemblage from Omaha proper, and thirty ladies-in- waiting from neighboring realms. More than half a thousand men con- stitute’ the reception committee at this grand coronation ball. The king and queen having been crowned in due courtly dignity, the knights and ladies of the realm file over the stage to felicitate them, Now the royal orchestra bursts into sweet music. The grand march be- gins, and’ the classic coronation ball 18 on. Long do the knights and ladies revel in the dance until far after the hour of midnight has been told by the castle clock, and the morning cock salutes the approaching dawn, e e ry up the chairs, at least. After that Miss Alma Jackson, new professor of home economics, and Miss Luella Car- ter, temporary dean of women, sweet- ly asked the boys to remain for a while, They remained, and evening prayers are now an institution at Bellevue. Men students at Bellevue walk on their tiptoes through the dormitories nowadays. They grumble and growl, but they also use napkins and sweep out their rooms oftener than once a month. But ever and anon a sun burned foot ball hero can be seen fl.zmg wistfully out nver the old izzou and lonfing for the good old days untrammeled by napkins and housckeepers and evenings prayers. Tobacco Companies to Declare Big Dividend The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 24. —Enormous dividends are expected to be declared by the Netherlands East Indian tobacco planting com- panies. Many of the leading com- panies have already sold their entire crop, in a number of cases at double the average price resorded last year. So great is the tobacco hunger that fabulous prices have been paid for the most inferior sorts, even for almost unworkable material. The result is that for a long time past tobacco has been arriving in Holland frem countries which never before sent to the Dutch market, or only in very small quantities.
