BRINGING UP FATHER HUSKERS PRACTICE INZERO WEATHER Mittens and Gloves Called Into Use to Get in Shape for Kansas Game. KANSAS HAS GOOD TEAM (From a Statf Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 13.—(Special Telegram.)—Mittens and gloves were called into use by the Husker foot /ball squad, which tonight resumed \ \ ¥ P & practice for the heavy game. against Kansas university next Saturday af- ternoon,: All of the crippled Fluskers were-out and put up the best game against the freshmen seen this year. All of the linesmen wore mittens, but even that protection could not suffice to drive away the chill. The varsity drove through for five touchdowns land held the first-year men score- ess. ’ Vic_ Halligan, ‘who watched the Jayhawkers in -action last Saturday, f1d Kansas had one of the best eams in recent years. Central High Meets Sioux Falls Next The Central High School foot ball team will spend this week preparing | for the Sioux Falls game here next Saturday. \ There is talk now of a post-season game ,between Lincoln High and Omaha High to definitely settle upon a state champion. THhis will depend somewhat upon the game between Lincoln High and Beatrice High next Saturday. If Lincoln should win this game the championship will still be] unsettled. If Beatrice should prove the winner, comparative scores would favor Omaha, since it defeated Bea- trice @ week ago, and the Omaha players concede Beatrice a chance at turning the trick. Although Omaha was outplayed in the first half of both the Lincoln and Beatrice games, it did not enter the two games in the same spirit. In the Beatrice =~ game Omaha ' looked throughout like a winner, The team entered the Lincoln game in a nery- ous state and threw ‘away several good chances to scoré in the second half, ‘when clearly. outplaying its opponents. f a post-season game is arranged, ] will probably be played.in Omaha, and during December the weather would probably be no more disagree- able than that encountered at Lin- coln fast Saturday.

GUS KIMMEL, “Manager Duck Holmes.” ROMANCE OF “HOGAN’S FLOP.” Famous Haunt of the Down-and- Outer Run by Former Prize ghter. As a relief to the frequent plaintive recital of political flops, so lamentable in some instances as to bring about, as in' the civil war, the separation of brother from brother, one is delighted to read of another kind. This is Hogan's “flop,” the word carrying with it the thought of throw- ing yourself with small preparatory measures on any place of rest that can be obtained. Ben Hogan, who estab- lished' it in Chicafio many years ago, is dead. But the flop remains. Out- casts can still find a bed at Hogan’s shelter for 2 cents a night—payable strictly in advance—and soup to re- pletion at a price a shade below cost. The fact that Hogan was a prize fighter before his conversion may have had something to do with his methods afterward. Prize fighters are not without acquaintance with battered humanity. In fact, if the blows are received in fair fight, even 2 knockout becomes honorable. More- over, men of his following deal with individuals rather than with theories. Consequently when Hogan was con- verted he went after men. Theology may have lost an able dissector, but down-and-outers gained. “I learned there was more to, serving mankind than by giving hungry men words,” Hogan once said: “that is the reason I started the soup mission and the flop.” No one can ever krow the good men; Tuesday, men; Wednesday, that. Hogan did. Somewhere, doubt-|R less, in the line the soup and “flop” made all the difference. In his “Pasha of Many Tales” Captain Marryat tells of the Arab merchant, the base ball team was held at the Paxton hotel Sunday. It was some ban- quet. Johnny Dennison, manager of the club, was master of ceremonies, and Johnny conclusively proved that he is still batting .300 in the banquet league. The feed couldn’t be beat, nd Johnny's cabaret talent furnished three hours of entertainment . that \never dragged a moment. J. J. Isaac- son, president of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball assaciation, acted as toast-| : master, Hard Times Ahead, The adored daughter was sad. ‘“Father,” she sald, “what has come over you? . 8ince I can remember I never had a wish you were not anxious to gratify, and| you even anticipated my wants and handed me money for all sorts of things that I hadn’t even thought of. But now I have to ask you for every cent I need, and you growl and grunt and ask if T think you are made of money, and you rail at a woman's extravagance and invariably ‘ask me what on earth I did with that last check or dol- lar half dollar you gave me. It Is very strange. Don’t you love me any more, r?' “My dear Ethel,” her father answered, "I love you as much s ever. But you are soon to be married, and I am trying gradually to prepare you for the change."—New York Times.

Crises of no less moment may occur' in the streets of great cities. Hogan helped un- fortunates and at the same time pro- tected that greatest of all their re- maining possessions, self-respect. The 2 cents must be forthcoming. Even if it were “panhandle” there was merit in giving it up to Hogan, demanding in return the right to “flop” as the result of an honorable transaction carried on between man and man.— Washington Post. Feared Bear More Than Man. Harry H. Fleming roports having seen recently a blg moose pursued by a bear. While fishing with & companion in Fay- ette lake a Marge bull moose suddenly emerged from the timber, ran down to the beach and into the water. Raclug after the moose was a large black bear. The bear seeing the men fied back into the timber. he moose left the water, shook himmelf, blew the water from his nostrils and stood for a short time only a few yards from the fishermen inspecting them. He had an un- usually Inrge body and a magnificent set of horns. He walked a mile along the shore, then vanished In the woods~—Cheyenne Tribune. = DI R Strike Order Rescinded.

He is the uncrowned king of the tropics, the Cecil Rhodes of Central America, a demigod in the eyes of half a dozen republics. There sits daily in an unpretentious office at Battery place, New York, a silent Hercules who is transforming the American tropics from a jungle to a fruit garden, who is creating pros- perity, health and peacé where only poverty, disease and revolutions for- merlf' luxuriated, who is busily steel rail linking Central American repub- lics to one another as a necessary preliminary to their union into one powerful commonwealth and who, also, is Ylodding to make it possible to travel from New York, Chicago or San Francisco all the way by rail to Panama or even to Rio Janeiro, Minor €. Keith was a Brooklyn lad ho, at 16, started in a men’s fur- nishing store on Broadway, New York, at $3 a week, didn’t care for selling collars, socks and neckties and quit in six months to become a lumber surveyor. He made $3,000 in the first year and then went into the lumber business on his own account, his father having followed that in- dustry. Before old enough to vote he was raising cattle and hogs on a bleak, uninhabited island called Padre Isl- and (as long as Long Island), near the mouth o? the Rio Grande. He had |, looked over the country after the civil war and decided to seftle on this forsaken territory. Only one other family lived on !flc island. Here {oung Keith trained for the battle of life, under rough, nerve- trying circumstances, with two revol- vers never unhitched from his belt and with cattle thieves and other care-free gentlemen all about him when he crossed to Texas and the Mexican border to buy cattle. He roge at 4 every morning, roughed it for sixteen hours daily, often slept outside—and prospered. He reared and bought - cattle all over the surrounding territory to kill for their hide and tallow. The beef, | not worth anything in Texas in those | days, was fed to swine! He amassed a herd of 4,000 stock cattle and 2,000 igs. Stock cattle were then worth g2.50 to $3 and steers brought $1 for each year of their age. (Today, alas! we city folk pay 35 cents a pound fom the choicest parts of such steers!) Then something happéned to change the course of Keith's career. His uncle, Henry Meiggs, was the famous builder of the first railway over the Andes and of other cpochal South American lines, Minor's eld- est brother, Henry Meiggs Keith, 13—Hugh | at had joined his uncle in Peru and had taken over a contract from his uncle to build a railroad in Costa Rica for the government. One day, in 1871, Minor received a letter from his brother asking him to come to Costa ica. Minor's job was to run the com- missariat of the railway. His brother subsequently died and the construc- tion of the railway was suspended through the government. Also, to make possible the money. In order to carry out his brother's undertak- ing he recontracted the coast line of the railway with the government. Also, to make possible,the building of the mountain section for which the government had not the needed $6,- 000,000, he made a contract with the Costa Rica government to settle their external debt which had been de- faulted for thirteen years. He pro- ceeded to London and after many dif- ficulties arranged a settlement of the debt and all arrears of interest, and obtained $6,000,000 for the construc- tion of the railway. The International Railways of South America—"The Pan-American Railway”—is not a mere paper rail- road. Half of it is already built, Con- nection has been made on the Pacific side with the National Railways of Mexico, at the Guatemala boundary. The road runs down the Guatcmara coast and then cuts clear across the continent to Puerto Barrios, on the Atlantic side; this transcontinental line is now in profitable operation, the net e:rninis (or profits) in the first four months of this year having been $667,545. From midcontinent the line is- being built straight through the little républic of Salva- dor to La Union, on the Pacific.

The Costa ican system will then be reached, and from Port Limon to the Panama canal will be the final link on the northern side of the “great divide.” The South American extension, Mr. Keith is confident, will follow.

He gazed into space. Then: “I believe that will come. It will be a great thing for them all. But only railroads can bring it about. The people of Costa Rica today are strangers to the people of Nicaragua, although their countries adjoin. There must first be commercial and social intercourse. The railroad will ‘make that Weekly. END OF 13 YEARS' SEARCH And the Woman’s Long Lost Sister Lived Only _Ofle Block Away. A drama of heart gripping interest, laid in Europe and extending over a period of thirty years or longer, has just reached its happy elimax on this gide of the Atlantic in the meeting of two half-sisters, one of whom has long been searching for the other, | who never knew beforesthat such a relative existed, The principals in this drama are Mrs. Yetta (foldmm. wife of a cloth- ing manufacturer, and Mrs. William Phillips, who came here four months ago and lives with her family within a block of where the Goldmans' re- side in Vineland, N, J. More than forty years ago a sol- dier in Russia married a pretty village maiden at Danaburg. few years later the soldier, finding himself too oor to support a wife, divorced her. n the meantime a child was born and was named Mary. The parents of the divorced wife took her back into their home and later she married again, but the fact that the second husband was not her real father was kept studiously from little Mary. The soldier recouped his fortunes and married again, His only daughter was named Yetta. Thirteen years ago she came to America and on her departure an uncle told Yetta that perhaps she might find a sister in the new land. “Her name is Mary and she comes from Danaburg,” the uncle explained as he unfolded the strange story to Yetta of her soldier father's earlier possible.” — Leslie's | BOX FOR ME - ENGLAND MAY GO DRY Petitions to Be Presented to Government by ‘‘Strength of Britain" Movement. SIGNED BY THOUSANDS (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) London, Oct. 31.—A 'petition is shortly to be presented to the British agalnst | government by the “Strength of Brit- ain Movement” asking that the Brit- ish government follow the lead .of the greatest of the allies to prohibit the sale of alcohol. This remarkable ap- peal has already béen signed by 1,000 representatives of the brain power of the nation, including leading officers in the army and navy, directors of mu- nitions, privy councilors, ‘prominent men in literature, art and music, fi- nance and industry, university and college professors, heads of publi¢ and secondary schools, prominent scientists and medicalymen. The memorial cl{mn that +“two grave dangers stand before the coun- try, holding back the power of early victory and throwing a shadow oyer the vision of peace. One is the wast- ing of alcohol, the other is the im- geriling of infant life. Among all the actors of weakness these confront us with !errilxe vividness and they lie within our own control. With the weakening power of alcohol removed our national effort against the enemy would, gather increased strength; with the increased strength and more rapid supplies our losses in six cam- paigns would have been substantially reduced.” Facts Are Enumerated. The following facts are given con. cerning the effect 'of alcohol: “It hinders the army, delays muni- tions, keeps. thousands of men from war work daily, makes good workmen second rate, “Hampers the navy, delays trans- ports, places them at the mercy of submarinés, slows down repairs and con_Pests docks. “Threatens the mercantile marine, absorbing during the war between 60,000,000 and 70,000,000 cubic feet of romance. So Yetta came to America with a new incentive—to find a sister. This strange quest continued for thirteen years. Then the other day Mrs. Gold- man met a new neighbor on the street. She was Mrs. Mary Phillips, who had come from Russia fourteen years ago and was the long sought sister.—Philadelphia Record. e s Live Stock in Blght.

Russia and her prohibition is made much of in the memorial which con- cludes: “We are no temperance reformers as such. We stand for the great de- sire of all- rood peaple to strike the mightiest blow for freedom of which Britain is capable, We support the demand for grohibition made to the s¥‘ its own investigators, and by the Shipbuilders’ deputation, with not a teetotaler among them, in March, 1915, Believing, in the prime minister's words, that no sacrifice is too great when freedom and honor are at stake,’ and that rich and poor alike should bear it, we ask the govern- ment to suspend all drink licenses throughout the- kingdom for the period of the war. “We believe a golden moment has arrived for our country; that, pre- pared for the sacrifice by the exam- ple of the king and Lord Kitchener, the nation is ready for the natural step that France and Russia have al- ready taken. The suspension of the liquor traffic during, the war, the con- version of the public houses into houses of refreshment will quicken ur our civil and fighting populations, will Bl raise a new fire of resolution in our people and will give to millions the first opportunity they have ever had of breaking old habits of weakness and forming new. habits of strength, “We believe that in.this, as in all other vital issues, there must be sym- pathy and unity of action between the allied nations, and we appeal to the government to be bold and trust our people, to be strong and follow our allies, to be worthy of the mighty des« tinies they hold in solemn trust.” PLANES WITH CLIPPED WINGS.

It runs almost ike a motor car. B{ its use one de- velops the instinct for steering in a straight line and for turning. It is really much.harder to steer a roller along the ground that to steer a real machine in the air. The contact with the earth is always twisting and turn- ing it in the craziest fashion, ' By the time one has finished his course on the roller he understands horizontal steering and knows something about the management of his engine, Perpendicular, steering, which is more important, of course, comes when he i1s promoted to a “penguin.” This is a complete machine, except that the egine is so weak as not to ermit it to rise more than, 25 or 30 eet.
