And so I reported them to 1071 Boulevard and complim~ntedth~ kind la<;liesupon having such worthy persons on whom to bestow theIr bountIful charitYt

That year the Gallegos family had a marvelous meal at noon on the asThursday in November. The most delightful ingrediel1:ts of the baskets hadbeen a dozen oranges that the good women had put In as afterthoughts­thoughts because of the dozen. And those nobI.e and g~1!erous sou.1s had.goneeven further. They had even got a go?d p.aYlng pOSItIon for HIS LaZIness,Pedro Pedro did not like it, but the WIfe dId, and so .....

I had seen but little of the two kInd ladles, but on that, tp.e twe?ty­fourth day of December they met me on the bridge over the GallInas RIver,a frozen Gallinas.

I had been asked by them to find a family worthy of theIr. chantIes. adconsented to do so and had found a family-the Gallegos faI?Ily-and repor~eto them. They had secured a very nice' dinner and sent It to th~ deSerVIngones. They had even got the husband work. Today they had receIved a note.They were highly offended and so they showed the note to me:

Ls Ii If !Eli II Ii ![=1r:J]TWO KIND LADIES

TWO kind ladies stopped me as I was walking the sleepy streets of LasVegas. It was several days before Thanksgiving, and their hearts weregood. . -

"Please, sir," they said, "do you know of any poor, deserving Mexicans towhom we may give a Thanksgiving dinner?"

"Not especially, no; but I'll find you a family, if you wish," I replied asI gazed at the emptiness of the walks. .

"Oh, if you will! And tell us at 1071 Boulevard," they answered as if theywere happy. Perchance their good minister had suggested such action tohis congregation-and Vegas so loved its good ministers.

I had nothing to do; one never seems especially occupied in Vegas unless heis talking with the lazy, sleepy-eyed denizons; so I betook myself across theGallinas River, a clever little river that flows down out of the mountains andwhen the time seems unfit, goes underground to evade the dusty heat. Itraversed the somnolent emptiness of Main street and passed through the plazayawning. Of course, I saw "little bum, little bum" sprawled on his usualbench-the many good men of the town had furnished some very attractivebenches. All of us had known him from our boyhood. Every time he sawone of us, he held up a dirty, brown finger and a dirty, brown thumb and thenclosed them almost together. Next, he would look through the crack left andsqueak out his "little bum, little bum." Everyone in Vegas comes near tothe class of little bum, anyway.

I passed him and the rest of the loafing Mexicans in the park. All weredreaming of the next circus or chautauqua meeting. At the end of the row,I saw the laziest of the party, old Pedro Gallegos. He was sleeping peacefullyand sonorously. His bench-mate was in great disgust over the fact the he hadnot fallen asleep first. .

"Poor, deserving Mexicans," came to my mind. I hastened on throughBurro alley-so called because one had to be very careful in stepping out ofone door lest his foot should fall in the house across the street. Itwas laned tobe the width of one burro-and that a skinny one.

I went on until I reached the cemetery, wherein lay the remains of the firstgood citizens of Vegas and wherein would lie the remains of the great andgreater grandchildren of these good citizens, all good citizens in their turn.Then, to the left and about two hundred yards ahead, I came upon the Mexicansettlement. Not that Mexicans did not live in Vegas proper; but here they wereat their height of languid life. From the distance, I saw Senora FranciscaGallegos, wife of Pedro, sweeping off her roof. The Mexicans take great delightin three things, and in these three arts they excel all other mankind. The firstis being lazy, the second is being dirty, and the third is seeing how clean theycan keep their yards and the roofs of their adobe houses. Senora Gallegos waspropounding the third art to the squalid babies at the foot of the house. Hermethod was exemplification and it was ridiculous. The children watched withshiny eyes and dirty faces and bare feet and tattered clothes. Presently,though, she came down and began to cook frijoles and tortillas for the eleven;if Pedro woke up in time to come ,home for dinner, there would be eleven. Ofcourse, that did not count Senora Gallegos and the newest baby.

"Aha!" I said to myself, "here is a family deserving of the kind ladies'dinner." .

pass any emotions felt by the little aristocrats farther up town, who havepleasure every day in the year.

And in the East Side, one may study contrasts to his heart's content-orperhaps, to his heart's discontent, if he happens to possess strong sympathies.For, tho the spirit of trouble is also an impartial one, his ravages are decorouslyhidden on Fifth Avenue. The rich may conceal their woes and worries, ortheir happiness and festivities, with drawn shutters and closed carriages, butthe sorrows and anxieties of the poor flaunt themselves in the face of everypasser-by and the scenes of their small triumphs and -rejoicings usually standopen' to the observation of the curious. Here the thrifty head of a family,rejoicing in a "steady job," is buying toys and confectionery galore for themorrow's festivities; there, a white-faced woman, with a shawl over her head,buys a solitary stick of brightly striped candy; further along, a group of black­haired, bare-headed girls select, with much giggling comment, the flaringneckties that their sweethearts will proudly wear to· the Christmas dance;while, at a wagon on the corner below, a proud youth is exchanging three dollarsfor an enormous brown muff that will shelter someone's hands as effectuallyas if it were made of real fox. And everywhere there are children, staring intothe shop windows, running in and out among the crowds, darting back and forthacross the streets, apparently escaping death only by momentary miracles.

_ Thus is this inborn spirit of Christmas a most im.partial one, spreading itswings of joy over mortals in every phase of life, regardless of circumstancesand environment. -Stanley Weiser;. '19.

CAMP SCOTT EXPERIENCESWe arrived at Englewood, Illinois, at 8:30 A. M., 108 men strong. It was

some bunch. The night had passed very quickly-featured by a hand-outat Des Moines and a match: The S'andman vS. our two Dons, Mahaffy andWood. It seemed that Camp Scott was only a couple of miles away; so ofcourse, we would walk it-a sort of "ante-dejeuner" affair. At any rate wegot there pretty quickly, and were taken to our initial mess at Camp Scott.I guess they had something special in our' honor, for we didn't have as good ameal until some time after. After mess we were marched into the drill hall.What the purpose of it was we at last found out after three hours on our feet;we were to undergo another physical exam.

If that head physican (we called him horse doctor) had been given his waywe would all have been packed back to Omaha. It seems that everyone hada fast heart. Really, our hearts might have been expected to beat ratherfast after that leave-taking at Omaha. Holmquist had a leaky heart but hewent thru more than most of us at the station. At ten o'clock that night,we got our outfits-blankets, pillows, cots and clothes. We were assigned toquarters. We slept in tents for the first two days. Chicago is no place in whichto be when one has to sleep in a tent.

Our first week was taken up with routine drill; one continuous march from5:45 A. M. to 9:45 P. M. Hikes were common, usually coming after supper.These jaunts usually took us out of our way about ten miles. .

But preliminary work all passed quickly and soon the Omaha bunch wasdoing garage duty. All men taking garage duty were automatically changedfrom Detachment 3 to Detachment 2. Thus our first step toward the goalwas made. This garage duty lasted for most of us about fourteen days. During

November 13, 1918.

this per'iod we really did very little work, as our shop foremen were a good dealeasier on us than our lieutenants. We left the barracks at ~even. P. M. andreturned at five P. M. We ate our dinners down town and In thIS way wereenabled to see a little of the great city.

But the pleasant days were soon over; and as o~r tr~n~fer came ~o. Detach­ment 1, our hearts sank, for in this detachment, sInce It IS only WaI~Ing to beshipped, the men are put on K. P. and on guard duty, both equally dIstasteful.I served 144 hours of guard duty and 48 hours of .K. P.; more work than I haveever done before in my life. Other fellows were gIven somewhere near the samelength of time. .

The only joy one had in Detachment 1 was gettIng out on passes, beforethis privilege was held back. However, ever: then, we were able to get outonce in a while. It was surely great. A soldIer never has to take a street carin Chicago. Our evenings at the barracks were spent very pleasantly. Everysort of wholesome entertainment was put on by the Red Cross-such as dances,movies and concerts. . .

During the following week all the 0r:naha boys,.as you know, re.celved homefurloughs prior to leaving for Camp KIng, the pOInt of embarkatIOn at Gren- .wich Connecticut. As you also know the chance to go was taken away fromus a~d the order for demobilization given on the eve of our departure. It wasa great blow at the time, but-such is life! N'est ce pas? R.

SOME GOOD THINGS FROM THE PAPERS ON "DEMOCRACY"Democracy means that the weak are protected, and that the strong must

obey.Democracy is the spirit that makes all men brothers.A democracy is a representative government where there is equality of

rights without hereditary differences in rank or privilege.In a democratic government comes the greatest opportunity to work out

individual prosperity and individual happiness.Democracy presupposes the united effort of all for each.Democracy consists of the interpretation of the rights of men into definite

action. It means peace for the whole world, and freedom for its peoples.'1 think of democracy as a spirit in the hearts of people which leads them to

respect the rights of others.Democracy inyolves loyalty, unselfishness and responsibility; for if our

liberty is to continue, we must know how to use it wisely and well.Democracy stands for liberty, justice, righteousness, and peace.

BETWIXT HALVESC. O. C. Presents

"THE CRAFTY BOOTLEGGER"featuring

Wallace D. Craigas "St. Joseph"

Ably assisted by William Hamilton as "Hammibal"And an all-star cast

includingThe Famous "KEYSTONE POLICE"

So might the poster have read for the thrilling, sensational one-act farcegiven by the Cadet Officer's Club, during the period between halves, at theThanksgiving game. It was indeed a comedy, crammed full of dramaticabiHty and holiday jollity.

Wallace Craig seemed to have found something to his liking (?) in thecharacter of St. Joseph, for his extraordinary presentation showed just howmuch of the real spirits of old St. Joe he has been able to put into himself andhis acting.

This worthy gentleman and his tried and trusty servant (Hammy) pro­ceeded to establish themselves on the field. To the unsuspecting spectator,this little meeting took the aspect of an evangelistic one; but alas! 'twas provedto be rank corruption.

(Of course, not because Funkhouser came o,ut and bought something; buttaking it all together, it was terrible.)

To let such a thing continue would have been a black mark against theefficient polic'e .force; so that esteemed organization "The Keystone KomedyKop Korps" (composed of Beindorff and Leavitt) led by their redoubtableleader "Mithter" Moredick arrived upon the scene unseen.

These three beerless apprehenders of crime, upon searching the suspectedarose considerably in spirits. In fact, here is proof of how completely Craighas surrounded himself with the spirit of St. Joe.

Thasafact, he had about a dozen bottles full hung all around him.After the grand search camethe big pursuit, St. Joe and Hammiballeading,

with the "ossifers" bringing up the rear. Honest, folks, we leave it to you­didn't Wally look the devil running around out there on the field?

One thiIJg you must never forget is the time you saw "Satan" being chasedby cops through fifteen inches of snow. .

CENTRAL STAGES A COMEBACK! !The weather was fit for anything but football on "Turkey Day." The snow

was from three to six inches deep on the field and a cold wind blew from thenorth. However a large peppy crowd filled up the stands and put fight intoour boys as they'spread out to receive the kick-off. Harper made a fine runon the first play, and Omaha was started. Never once did she stop. Againand again Shanahan, Harp~r ~nd Campbell broke throug.h the St. Jo.e defensefor large gains. Much credIt IS also due the men on the lIne. CaptaIn Logan,Anderson Turner, and Swoboda all played exceptionally well. In the secondquarter Shanahan evaded the whole visiting team and carried the ball overfor a touchdown, the only one of the year. The goal was not kicked. In thethird, St. Joe threatened to score but iron man resistance held them on ourone-yard line. The last points of the game were scored when Omaha madea touchback in the fourth quarter. For St. Joe, Gra.ner played a wonderfulgame, and was their who~e show. The entire game was marred by fumblesdue to the cold, and by slIps because of the snow. Score 8-0.

Although we have not had a championship team this year, we have hadone of which we all should feel proud.

In Captain Logan we could not desire a better man to pilot the team. Asfar as being a center goes, he is there and over.

To Shanahan goes· the glory of the St. Joe affair. We can say with safetythat when Shanahan left Commerce, Commerce ceased to have a football team.

"Semper laboro" is Harper's motto and he sure does.Wilmarth came from "Chi." Nevertheless he can play football.Campbell has a head and he uses it in more ways than one. Stick to it,

Pete; we're strong for you. ,One of our most determined, hard-working fellows· is Joe Pollard. He's

some guard. .Swoboda deserves much credit for his work this year. "Swob" is one ,of

those fellows who makes good any place you put him.Peters has been one of the most faithful and consistent players of the team.

War, influenza and St. Joe were laughed at by Jordan.Schaefer still retains the title of "Tank." Although Earl was not able to

help lick St. Joe, he did his part well il?- all other games.Ayres filled up the "Tank's" place In an excellent manner.Konecky is more of that "semper laboro" caliber.The war robbed us of several men who were known far and near to be

stars. The boys that left us to join some branch of the service were Noble,Eaton, Crowell and Moser. ,

It is still too early to prophesy much as to the basketball season. However,many men have declared their intention of turning out to the coach's first call.Among them are Logan, Ayres, Konecky, Turner, Paynter, Baker and Noble.An attempt is going to be made t~ induce Craig to try for the cage ~rew, for"Wallie" used to be some marvel wIth a basketball. At any rate here s hopIngfor a championship basketball team.

No. 17-5HOES BUDA FIRST MISTAKE

IDIOTORIALOn behalf of our patriotic readers

we would like to enter protestagainst the blank verse that is sopopular just now. The writers of I"vers libre" seem to have no idea asto conservation. They are particu­larly prodigal in the use of the spaceat the end of. the lines. The first-Hne may go completely across thecolumn, while the next line will useup only half the space. Our point iswell illustrated in the daily parch­ments where the Nut-in-Chiefs pub­lish them without comment in theThot Waves Department.

Such scripts illustrate sadly thewaste of vacuum. In fact, .such anextravagant use of vacuum is unfor­givable at a time when the vacuummines are running much below theirordinary standards of production. Itis well known already that there willnot be enough hard or chestnutvacuum for tpe people who use car­pet sweepers. Soft vacuum willhave to be used, out of necessity, andeven the soft vacuum can be ob­tained only by applying -to one'sdealer weeks ahead of expected de­livery.

If we must have "vers libre" wemust see to it that the vacuum isscrupulously conserved. Some of theleading poets of the free school areapplying the vacuum to the under­lying thot of the poem instead ofwasting it on short lines; and while

this helps, it does not completely I'solve the problem. -

For those needing free verse, a farbetter plan is to take a column froma railroad timetable and cut it inhalf. In this way, two splendidlycomplete columns of "vers libre" maybe immediately prepared.

WORDS WILL WIN THE WAR,'won,' I mean. Conservation; that'sus inside and out. Saved one letterby calling this the "Radiator"instead of "Fragments."

STARTLING MYSTERY PER­VADES CENTRAL HIGH

Central High School is stirred bythe greatest mystery ever remainingso long unsolved. The question inmind is the identity of Bussy Buck,whose article caused such a stir inliterary circles when it appeared in Ithe last issue of the Register. Thegreatest detective agency, Cohn andDoyle, is as yet unable to fathom thebottomless depths of the case.

The last spasm was critical; butthe crisis of the matter is reachedin his, Bussy Buck's threat to renewhis depredations in this issue. It islike the case where the operation issuccessful, but -the patient dies.

Who is he? Who knows? He willsimply have to go by the cognomen I

of Himself, and that must contentify Iyou. So, ungentle reader, unreason-,able critic, take Himself for what hemeans and not what he says.

DREAMS IN SEVENTH HOUR STUDYBy Russ

Did it ever occur to you how romantic, how inspiring, in plain fact how"swell" it would have been if you could have lived in some historic time. Yes-really now-come to think of it, it really would. Honest it would. (Thanks,doctor.)

Now, for instance, just imagine "Nails" Powers as Napoleon, viewing thefamous battle of Leipsic. Can't you visualize him standing there, his hatpulled down close upon his head, one arm crossed· over his breast, and theother nervously resting on his broad back? On all sjdes are aides ready tospring to his assistance at a moment's notice. Isn't it all plain now-ourstately Captain and Ordinance in the shoes of Napoleon? It isn't half impos­sible, is it; although a wonderful take-off on Mutt and Jeff. (Especially M·utt.)

Then, too, it is quite a calamity that Wiley did not have the hQnor of dis­cussing the plans of the Roman empire with Caesar or Cicero. Robert couldhave easily traversed the Appian Way and still left his hat at home withoutcausing comment. And also imagine Miss Paxson in the flowing gowns of aRoman "puella"! Isn't it wonderful?

Remember Queen 'Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots? What an age tolive in!! But coming down to brass tacks, can't you see how much better itwould have been if Elizabeth Elliott could only have worn the crown of Eliza­beth Tudor. As our Elizabeth is the present Queen of China, and is said tobe "leading on" the Prince of Weak Hearts and the King of Ireland at the sametime, from a little induction and deduction, it remains that with the exceptionof the old, Elizabeth's inclination to fib and to remain single after numerousopportunities for matrimony, the modern 'Lizbeth has many of the peculiarcharacteristics of the ancient.

Just picture for a moment Dr. Senter and Mr. Woollery dressed as ancientGreeks, studying out the most puzzling problems of science and mathematics

Look back and see Ralph Cohn in Patrick Henry's place speaking for therights of America; Moser speeding down the streets of Troy-no, not in theCole 8-but in Achilles' chariot. See the fair blonde at his side. No, that'snot "Torpedo" Pearsall; that's Helen of Troy. .

There's one girl of whom I have often dreamed. I don't know which hourbut I suppose all seven. She has found her place as I. pictured her. Joan ofArc. Details are changed to suit Pauline's (oh, yes! h.er name's Richey) tastebut that matters little. See her! She is not in armor ;no, in a red riding-suit;she rides not a gallant steed, but a stubborn mule. She carries not a cross buta scoop shovel.

See there's Columbus curled up on a grassy knoll, figuring out whether theearth is round. Why no, that's Mr. McMillan. Oh, yes! it'.s quite plain now,and strikingly natural, too. See, he is so absorbed in thought that he has thrusthis "Camel"-I mean his lead-pencil-into his mouth.

Isn't it a wonderful and philanthropical feeling, Verne, to let your thoughtsgo back to the lady, the knight, and the giant? See yourself sitting there onyour sawbuck-pardon, I mean-your stately "equus," your long curly locksflowing in magnificent braids down your back of bones-no, no, no-Oh, yes!I have it now-down your back of muscle. But-who is the fair lady? I knowher not. She evidently comes from strange lands. Benson? C. B.? or pehapsBrownell Hall? And the giant? Not to spread scandal in the least, but fromwhat I can gather, it appears that he is Captain of Company F. (He's fond ofboxes! Yes, that's me all over, he says). Isn't it beyond doubt one of life'smost pleasant thrills to think what might have been?

DIRECT HITS BY OUR CRACK SHOTLieutenant Anderson is studying to be a lawyer~ He intends to defend the

Cadet Regiment in court, should it be necessary. He is progressing rapidly,having got so far as to design a legal seal for himself. The model for this sealwas lent thru courtesy of Ringling Brothers' Circus and was well trained.However, Lieutenant Anderson refuses to defend the case of the Quartermaster'sDepartment, as to profiteering, or the Bugle Corps, as to discipline. We can'tblame you,Harley.

We would like to submit oursecond article in the series of geo­graphical treatises on Omaha and itssurroundings. Watch for the nextone in the following issue.

COUNCIL BLUFFSCouncil Bluffs is a city. It is sit­

uated on the Iowa side of the Missouririver. It was founded in 1487 ~yChief Pott, head of the Wammle.It was a flourishing village for 300years-then it became a city.

They have a car line in CouncilBluffs but it starts in Omaha. Coun­cil BI~ffs has wonderful connections.A bridge connects it with our own fairburg. "Council Bluffs" is acomp~ra­tively new name. When the whItesbought the city for 1,000,000 wampum(about $3.98) they promised to paythe price at s:ght. But one sight wasenough; so the Council bluffed itsway, ,out of the bargain. Then theIndians, in memory of Minnehaha,called the site Council Bluffs.

Its chief claim for fame is its irri­gation 'system. They maintain thatBurbank received his irrigation ideain their fair city. All they do there isto plant their gardens. Then theypray for rain. Then rajn comes.Then their gardens grow. Some gar­dens planted in their back yards arewashed into the front parlor. Thenthey go rowboating and mud-fishing.

The children in Council Bluffs areyoung and lively. They have a high

1school, too. On account of the war
