The Omaha News recently had a
very interesting article concerning
Joseph Travis, a former well known
Plattsmouth, young man. who made
his home here with Attorney A. K.
Tidd for a number of years and whore
life story j-eems little short of marve
lous, but demonstrates what is possi
ble when the mind is set upon attain
ing its goal. The article in the
News is as follows:
"Joseph Travis, night secretary of
the Y. M. C. A. never completed the
fejurth grade in school. Yet. at the
age of :3. he has read and memorized
more real literature than the average
man does in a life time.
He discusses Jack London and Aris
totle in the same breath. He com
pares Homer with Ella Wheeler Wil
cox. He quotes at will from Virgil.
Victor Hugo, Browning, Bacon, and
Shaw, with quaint original comments.
He memorizes any passage which in
terests him. poetry or prose, in six
readings. He is equally conversant
with history, science, art, and politi
cal economy.
University professors have talked
with Joseph Travis and marveled.
They would Have marveled the more
had they known the complete story
of his unusually picturesque life.
Born in the grime and the smoke
of the lower east side of New York
city, Joe Travis scrambled up
through babyhood, a street gamin.
He "rustled" papers, and scoured the
alleys for bottles and old rags to sell
for his scanty meals. At intervals,
he attended school sufficiently long
to complete the third grade. There
his formal education ended, and the
thousands of tabulated facts h? now
has at his tongue's tip were self
acquired. But such a school of experience as
he attended! "Hitting the trail" at
14. he saw all of the United. States.
Canada and Mexico via the "blind
baggage" and boxcar mode of trans
portation. Many a night he rode the
quaking rods cf a freight train with
a scarred volume of some old phil
osopher hugged to his brreast. Bor
rowing books at a public library in
some town along his route, he read
them in transit, and turned them in
at the next public library.
From Calgary to Mexico City, from
New York to San Diego he traveled,
and. with his phenomenal memory,
he reta'ned the facts whir; hhe learn
ed with remarkable clearness.
What are ft Is favorite books?
"Folks would think I was crazy if
I told you just what I think is tbe
most interesting reading," said Mr.
Travis. "What I really like best is
'The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius.'
And I like next lest 'The Golden
Sands of Epictitus."
But for people who do not enjoy
the old philosophers, he has selected
six books which he thinks everybody
should read to obtain a sound philo
sophy of life and an understanding
of human nature. They are "Les
Miserables." by Huero; "Qui Vadis,"
by Seinkiewicz; "The Other Wise
Man." by Van Dyke; "The Promised
Land," by Mary Antin; "How the
Other Half Lives," by Jacob Riis.
and "The Honorable Peter Stirling,"
by Ford.
"I Just wish I could get every
body to read those books," he said
earnestly.
"Of course, reading's my hobbv",
he added. "They say 'everybody rides
a hobby!' I'm afraid my hobby
rides me, because I just can't let
books alone."

KOVE PIPE ORGAN
MARRIED AT NEBRASKA CITY
Among .the marriage licenses is
sued yesterday In Nebraska City was
one to Walter B. Wright of Bartlett,
la., and Miss Elizabeth Mary Tritsch
of Thurman. Iowa. The young peo
ple were married Thursday after
noon at the Presbyterian manse in
Nebraska City by Dr. L. R. Patton.
The bride Is a daughter of Mr: and
Mrs. Philip Tritsch. formerly a resi
dent of this- county.
The voters of Nebraska at the
general election in 1922, will have
an opportunity to decide whether
they wish to pay a bonus of 10 mil
lion dollars to the soldiers, sailors
and nurses who served in the world
war. That is, if the senate follows
the lead of the bouse.
The matter came up yesterday
morning on H. R. 52, by Sturdevant,
providing for a bonus of $15 for each
month served and requiring the an
nual levying of a tax of one million
dollars for ten years to pay it. The
benefits are to go to every sailor,
soldier, mariner er nurse or soldier's
widow who was a resident of the
state at the time they were commis
sioned, enlisted, inducted into ser
vice, appointed or mustered in. Each
must have an honorable discharge.
The bill appoints the state audi
tor, treasurer and adjutant general
as the board to pass on all applica
tons for bonus. Not less than $50
will be paid in each care.
After Sturdevant had secured
unanimous consent to take up the
bill ahead of the Friday morning
special order, he made an eloquent
speech in support of it.
Mears moved ast an amendment
that the matter of a bonus be re
ferred to the people for approval or
rejection. Others seconded the mo
tion on the ground that the people
have been objecting loudly about
increasing taxes and that this would
place the responsibility for the ten
million carried by the bill upon the
voters themselves.
Members of the house who had
served in the war said they were
in an embarrassing situation and
would have to vote against the bill
if put up in its original form, but
that they could support the referen
dum. Rodman and Snow claimed
the Legion members of the house
were not playing fair with their
colleagues, because when the house
passed the bill a few days asro that
provided for loans to soldiers who
needed help, the members said they
would vote against any other apprei
priation. On roll call the members,
with the exception of Griswold,
passed.
- The bill, with the Mears referen
dum amendment passing the buck to
the peeiple , was recommended for
passage by a vote of 57 to 31.
The Evangelical Lutheran church
southeast of town has had a pipe
organ expert from Omaha here the
past ten days and had him clean j
and tune the organ. The organ was j
formerly placed in the balcony in the ;
rear of the church, but by a vote)
of the church it was decided to move
it down stairs and place it on the
west side of the altar, which is a
more sightly position and gives out
greater volume of sound.
The pipe organ cost originally
$1,500 and was installed after the
splendid church was built about fif
teen years ago. Frederick Stohl
man, son of Mrs. Louise Stohlman,
is organist at present and previous
to his playing. Miss Gertrude Ilart
man played the organ for several
years. The congregation and mem
bers are justly proud of their fine
organ and church. Louisville Courier.
