Fred B. Lammers, cigar and pool hall proprietor on Capitol avenue, was arraigned in county court Tues dayday and bound over to district court on a charge of permitting games of chance to be operated in a public resort. H*s bond was 100. This case caused a near break be tween Municipal Judge Wappich and the county attorney's office when hammers was arraigned before Judge Wappich in police court a few days ago. Wappich dismissed Lammers, and. despite the protest of Deputy County Attorney TV. S. MeEaehron, he returned the evidence to Lammers which was seized when deputy sher iffs raided his place. "Judge Wappich held that the city council had made n rule permitting gambling for merchandise in Omaha, blit such a rule could not change the state law, which prohibits it," said Deputy McKachron. "The only evidence «■* had left was a sample sheet used >o mark down scores of dice games.” Deputy Sheriffs C.oorge McBride and H. J. Paxton testified against Lammers this morning. In dismissing the case several days ago Judge Wappich declared similar games were l>eing played "in the shadow of the court house.” No Trace Is Found of Missing Attorney Minneapolis.

When proven wrong the thing to do Ie lay you only thought you knew. —Peter Rabbtt. Seeing Is Believing. Peter sat on the bank of the Smil ing Pool and • kept laying over to himself. “ A Chuck won’t swim of his own accord. No, sir, a Chuck won’t swim of his own accord. I just' know it. I suppose one could if he had to, hut that is the only time he would do it. I am sorry If t have offended Grandfather Frog and Jerry Muskrat by not believing that that young Chuck over on the other side swam across. But I don’t believe It, and I won't believe It. So there!" Peter sat for a long time staring across to the other bank where a little way back was the shlnging doorstep of the new Chuck home. He didn't believe that that young Chuck living there was Johnny Chuck's run away son. He was sure it must be some other young Chuck who had been born on the other side of the Laughing Brook and the Smiling Pool. Presently tlte owner of that home appealed and sat up on his doorstep. He was too far away for Peter to rec ognize him. He sat there for a long time, and Peter remained right where he was watching. At last the young Chuck went over to a patch of sweyt clover close by his home and began to eat. How Peter did wish he could get over there and talk to him! But he couldn't' without swimming, and Peter doesn't like the water. He had about decided to go on his way when the young Chuck stopped eating and began to waddle down to ward the lower end of the laughing Brook. "He must be going down for a HI.*' ‘ ' Peter sat for a long time staring across to the other hanks. drink," thought Peter. When the young Chuck reached the edge of the water lie ant down on epme overhanging ferns where he woa hidden from Peter'e eight. Then Peter saw Jerry Muskrat swimming Just in front of wher# he knew the young Chuck was sitting. He heard Jerry's squeaky voice. "Hello, young Chuck." said Jerry. "1 was told this morning that you can't swim." "Then somebody didn't know what they were talking about," replied ths young Chuck. "Who waa it?" "Peter Rabbit," replied Jerry Musk rat. "Ha doean't believe that I sap you awlm acroaa the Laughing Brooic tha other day. Ha aaya Chucks never ewlm unices they happen to fall In the water and have to.” "Is that so?" exclaimed the young Chuck. "Is that so? Wall, Peter Rab bit may have been out In tha Ureal World s grant deal longer htan I havo but it is quite clear that he doesn't know as muoh as he might. The other day I found soma axtru lander graas acroaa there on the other side of tha Laughing Brook, and I have a notion t would like some of it right now." With t'hls tha young Churk walked right Into the lauighlng Brook and began to awlm. Peter's eyes looked as If they would pop right out of his hend. Yes, sir, they did so. Ho hurried along the hank lo the point where the young Chuck would come out of the water. The young Chuck came right out where Peter was sit ting "Wall, Peter, Is there anything the matter with your eyes?” demanded tha squeaky voice of Jerry Muskrat, who was swimming Just hehlnd the young Chuck. "No—o," said Peter s'owly. Than he did the right thing. He told Jerry Muskrat that he was sorry h« hadn't believed him And* so It was that Peter learned whtst la a fact, Hint sometimes Chucks do swim.

''Fink moc casins in a basket of red osiers, with the same moss, rosemary and white tresses. AVould you rather those?” She set down the glass, drawing the basket toward her with both hun<Js. As she parted the mosses to drop in the water she slowly shook her head. yone must have seen thorn to un derstand what that would be like,” she said. "I know it was beautiful, but I'm sure I should have selected the gold had I been there. Oh, 1 wonder if the woman who has the moccasins will give them a drink to night! And will she try to preserve their roots?” ”Rhe will not!” said Douglas em phatically. “How can you possibly know?” queried the girl. “I saw the man who ordered them," laughed Douglas. “Oh!" cried Beslie, comprehend Ingly. "I’d stake all I’m worth the moc casins are drooping against a laven der dress, the roots are in the gar bage can. while the rook or maid has the basket," he said, "Douglas, how can you! ’ exclaimed Beslie. "I couldn't! Festively couldn’t! Mine are here!” The slow color crept into her check. ‘ I II make those roots bloom next spring; you shall nee them in perfection,” she promised. "That would be wonderful'1 he ex claimed warmly. "Tell me, were there yet others?” she asked hastily. ’’Only these,” he said. "But there was something else. I came near losing them. AVhlle 1 debated, or rather while I possessed these and worshiped the others, there was a gutter row that almost me me lose yours.” In the gutter again?" she laughed "Once again," he admitted. "Such a little chap, with an appealing voice, while his inflection was the smallest part of what he was saying, 'Aw kid, come on. Be square!' Oh. Leslie!" “Why. Douglas!” the girl cried. "Tell me!” "Of all the wooden-head slowness'" he exclaimed. "I've let him slip igain!” "Let who 'qlip again'?" queried Leslie. "My little brother!" answered he. “Oh, Douglas! You didn't really?" she protested. "Yes, I did." he said. "I heard a little lad saying the things that are In the blood and bone of the men money can't buy and corruption can't break. 1 heard him plead like a law yer and argue his case straight 1 lent a hand when his eloquence fail ed, got him his deserts, then let him go! I did have an impulse to keep him. I did call after him. But he disappeared." "Douglas, w# can And him! she comforted. "I haven’t found either of the oth ers I realized I'd been Interested in, after I let them slip,” he answered, 'while this boy was both of them rolled into one. and ten more like them." "Oh, Douglas, I'm so sorry! But mnybo some other man has already found him.’’ said Leslie. "No. You can always pick the brothered boys," said Douglas. "The first thing that happens to them is a clean up and better clothing, then an air of possessed importance. No map has attracted this one.” "Douglas, describe him," she com manded. "I'll watch for him. How did lie look? What was the trouble?" "One at a time," he cautioned the man. "He was a little chap, a white, clean, threadbare ilttle chap, with such a big voice, so wonderfully in toned. and such a bigger principle, for which he was fighting. One of these overgrown newsboys the public won't stand for unless he Is in the way When they are milking n ear, had hired him to sell his papers while he loafed. Mickey—” " 'Mickey?' " repeated Leslie ques tioning. "The big fellow called him ’Mickey;’ no doubt a mother »ho adorned him named hint Michael, and thought hint 'like unto God' when he did It. The big fellow .had loafed all afternoon. When Mickey came back and turned over tile money. Hnd waited to tie paid off, l^s employer laughed at the boy for pot keeping it when he had it. Mickey begged him 'to lie square' and told him that ‘was not buiness'—'not business," mind you. but the big fel low jeered at him and jvns starting away. Mickey and I reached him at the same time; so I got in the gutter again. I don't see how I can be so slow! I don't, see how I did it?' "T don’t either," site said, with a twinkle that might have referred to the first of the two exclamations. "It must be your Scotch habit of go ing slowly and surely. But cheer up! We ll find him. I'll help you." "Have you reflected on the fact that this city covers many square miles, of which a fourth is outskirts, while from them three thousand news boys gathered at the last Salvation Army banquet for them?" I hat s w here we can rind hint! she cried. "Thanksgiving, or Christ mas! Of course we’ll see him then.” "Mickey didn't have a Salvation Army face." he said. "I am sure he is a free lanee and a rare one; be sides. this is May. I want my littb brother to go on a vacation with me. I want him now." “Would it help any if I'd be a sis ter to you?" "Not a bit." said Douglas, "I don't in the very least wish to consider you in the light of a sister: you have an other place in my heart, very differ ent. yet all your own: hut T wish to make of Mickey the little brother 1 never have had. Minturn was telling me what a rejuvenation he a getting from the boy he picked up. Already he has him In his office, and is plan ning «chool nnd partnership with a man he can train as he chooses " "But Minturn has sons of his own!" protested Leslie. “Oh no! Not in the least! ex claimed Douglas. Minturn has sons of his wife's. She persistently upsets and frustrates Minturn's every Idea for them, while he is helpless. You will remember she has millions: he has what he earns. He can't separate his hoys, splendid -physical little chaps, from their mother s money and Influ ence, and educate them to be a help to him.

"Nothing but money count* with his wife. In telling me of thia boy, Minturn confessed that he was forced, forced mind you, to see his sons ruined, w-hlle he is building a street gamin as he would them, if per mitted." "How sad. Douglas!" cried Leslie. "Your voice is bitter. Can't he do something?" "Not a blooming thing!” answered Douglas. "She has the money. She is their mother. Her character is unimpeachable. If Minturn went to extremes, the law would give them to her: she would turn them over to ig norant servants who would corrupt them, and be well paid for doing It. Why Minturn told me—but I can't repeat that. Anyway, he made me eager to try my idaas on a lad who would be company for me, when I can't be here and don't wish to be with other men.” “Are you still going to those Brotherhood meetings?" "I am. And I always shall be. Nothing in life gives me such big re turns for the time Invested. There is a world of talk breaking loose about the present ‘unrest’ among women; 1 happen to know that the ‘unrest' is as deep with men. For each woman I personally know, bitten by 'unrest.' 1 know two men in the same condition. As long as men and women are forced to combine, to uphold society, it is mv Idea that it would lie a good thing if there were to be a Sisterhood organ ized: then the two societies frankly brought together and allowed to clear up the differences between them." "But why not?" asked the girl eagerly. "Because we are pursuing false ideals, we have a wrong conception of what Is w»»rth while in life.” an swered the Scotsman. "Because the sexes exeeppt In rare, very rare, in stances, do not understand caca other, and every day are drifting far thest apart of all. Fa*siie, what is it in marriage that constrain* people" We can talk, argue and agree or dis agree on anything, why can't the Minturns?" "From what you say. It would seem to me it's her Idea of what is worth while In life." said Leslie. "Exactly!" cried Douglas. "Rut 1 ■■ can sway men! He can do powerful • work. He could Induce her to marry him. Why can't he control his own blood?” "If she should lose her money and become Independent upon him for sup port. he could!" said Leslie. "He should do It anyway," Insisted Douglas.
