Interesting Debate ai to Kihtiye Merits of
Lawyers and Dogs.
OMAHA MAN REUNITES TWO OLD WARRIORS
M" ltli SlmlKht I.oel Orilern llnr

Tiililen Turned In ConlWleiiue
(innie-Othcr '1'nlen.
Tho Omnha High school has a number ot
BtudcntB who aro ambitious to becomo ora
tors. Debates aro of frcnuont occurrence
nnd on theso occasions tho bright young men
vlo with each other for tho championship
l)olt. A few days ago somebody with a sonso
of humor proposed tho question: "Itesolved,
That DogB Aro 'Moro Usotul Than Lawyers."
Tho debato that followed was long-drawn-out
nnd spirited. Able talkers nnd thinkers
lined up on either sldo. Tho speakers who
espoused the cause of tho Inwyers told how
nobln tho profession is, how many great
minds aro engaged In law nnd how In a gen
oral way tho lawyers aro a power for good
in business, social nnd moral affairs. This
eulogy wns sot forth in flowory languago
nnd the suporb diction of tho speakers won
for them great applause, nut It remained
for ono of tho dog advocates to make tho
greatest hit. Ho said, among other things:
"Of courso n dog Is worth moro than a law
yer. A dng Is faithful to his muster and
will not blto him. A lawyer Is good for
nothing except to stir up dissension .among
his fellow men. When a lawyer Is dead,
that Is all thorn is to him, but a dog, even
ftcr death, Ib useful, for wo cau make
cloves out of his hide."
It happened In a Sixteenth street barber
shop. Ho looked llko ho had Just arrived
from Cedar (Jap, Possum Trot, Malta Deud
or somo other Interior Missouri town. Ho
stood near tho entranco gazing at a chart
which illustrated a dozen or moro styles of
hair cut. ono of which showed a head of
curly hair. Kach style wns labeled and tho
inscription below tho plcturo of tho man with
tho kinky locks wns "Tho curly." Turning
to tho man on the end chair, tho stranger In
quired: "Ef I git my hair cut hyar, kin yo
give mo uny o' them shapes on tho pictur'?"
The urban barber replied in tho nlnrcnntive.
"Well, then, glva me tho curly," said tho
man. Tho barber couldn't fill the order, for
his customer's hair was as straight as the
hlrsutt growth on an Indian nnd was as
coarso as the bristles In a shoo brush.
and tho mournful young man were outside the two parties and tho salesmen never np
thcy divided the spoils and ngreed they had pearcd at the houso to draw his salary. It
turned a clover trick. was a Joko that worked both ways.
AVhcn J. 1C Himcs, now of this city, wns
proprietor of tho rnclflc hotol at St. Joseph
k few yenra ago ho wns Instrumental in
bringing nbout a reunion between two old
warriors who had fought each other despor
otely through the civil war. They were
General Jo O. Shelby, tho tlgor of tho
south, and General I). M. Trcntlss, who was
distinguished for gallant sorvlco In the union
nrmy and who bears the tltlo, "Hero of
Shlloh." During a term of the United States
court nt St. Joseph both generals were reg
istered at iMr. lllmes' hotol, fJenorul Shelby
was thou United States marshal for tho
western district of Missouri und General
Prentiss wns a witness In nn Important civil
suit- Mr. Hlmos enjoyed the acquaintance
of each. While standing nt tho hotel coun
ter on tho opening day of court General
Prentiss observed a gray-bearded man of
distinguished nppearanco walk through tho
lobby nnd enter tho bar.
"That man lookB llko Jo Shelby," General
Prentiss remarked,
"Thut is General Shelby," Mr. Htmes
answered.
"Klrst time I've seen him elnco wp fought
a hand-to-hand engagement during tho re
rebellion," said Genoral Prentiss,
"Then it's about time to meet him again.
Isn't it?" querieA the host.
Genernl Prentiss assented. Just then Gen
eral Shelby omerged from tho bur. Mr.
lllmes took General Prentiss by the arm
and, leading him up to General Shelby, he
went through tho usual ceremony of u formal
introduction. Tho grizzled warriors, both
with silvery hair an.d woll along on tho
slimly side of life, clasped hands llrmly. It
wns nearly a minute before either Bpoko n
word. Then in concert they said- "It Is all
over." Sure- enough, tho war was over, but
the reunion between the generals wns not
over, and didn't get over at long u they
remained nt thut session of court. It was
nn event long to bo remembered around tho
ITaclflc hotel, for tho raeu who bud been
Ho wns tired and was trying to get home
on a Hanscom park car. Ho lived near tho
end of tho line. When he boarded tho car
at Sixteenth and Farnam streets it was so
closely packed that ho couldn't got a seat.
Ho had corns on tho solea of his feet nnd
standing up caused him great pain. A few
passengers left tho car from street to street,
but as many more got on. Tho tired mnn
continued to stand up. At last ho grow
desperate nnd raising bis voico to an ora
torical pitch, ho inquired: "If any of you
people havo homes, (or God sako get off the
car and go to them. If you aro on tho car
for shelter In tho nbsenco of a homo, the
Associated Charities will relieve your dis
tress." Ho strolled into an East End saloon and
timidly approaching tho bar inquired of tho
whlto-oproued mixer if bo might "tako a
cheer and rest a little while." He said his
valiso was too heavy (o "pack" about with
him and, besides, ho was waiting for a tuan
to como there nnd pay him $50. Tho old mnn
looked the part ot a Itouben. He woro horae-
I mado clothing and his cotton trousers were
stuffed down In tho tops of his heavy, mud
bespattered boots. He seemed 111 at ease in
a saloon and mado no offer to buy anything.
,vttracted by his pastoral appearance, tho
bartender nnd two or three loungers engaged
, "Uncle Josh" In conversation. They wanted
' to know about tho $50 ho was to receive.
' "Well, bits Jes' like this," said the old
man. "A comln' In on the kyars this mornln'
I met u young feller In trouble. Ho was a
smart oppearln' chap an he was takin' his
dead sister bnck to InJIany to bury her.
When wo got to the depot he foun' out thet
ho didn't hov qulto money enough to pay tho
charges. I loant him $50 until he kin git
a check cashed. He's bin to town afore an'
ho directed mo to como hynr and wait for
htm. He's to be here at 10 o'clock with tho
, money."
Any full-fledged man nbout town will un
derstand tho Smllft that this nlmnln nn.l Kn.
colic statement brought forth from "Undo
Josh's" audience.
"Yes, he'll bo here," said the bartender
with a sarcastic sneer.
"Courso ho'll bo here, bokase ho said he
would," "Undo Jcsh" replied.
Tho fun that followed uroused tho old mnn
nnd ho lndlgnnntly -offered to bet that his
newly found friend would appear. Tho bar
tender put up all the money he had and tho
loungers chipped In for another pot. Tho old
man covered it. It wus then half an hour un
til 10 o'clock. While tho minutes tocked
nway "Undo Josh" paced tho lloor, refusing
all offers of a drink.
Promptly nt 10 o'clock the swlnglug doors
camo open and a dapper young njnn with a
badge of crepe around his hat walkej-brlskly
in. Ho clasped hands with "Undo Josh"
and reverently thanked him for the nccom
modutlon, At tho same time ho pressed a
roll of money into tho old man's hands .and
asked him to count it nnd see It he had
made any mistake
"Now, by golly, here's my fifty; what'd I
tell yo?" exclaimed "Uncle Josh." When ha
A well known Omaha man, at tho head ot
a department in one ot the largest whole
sale houses, had an experience with a
traveling salesman recently that ho will not
soon forget. This department head, by tho
way, bears the reputation of having hired and
"fired" moro traveling men than any other
man living. Ho has been eminently suc
cessful, however, and his policy of dogging
and nagging the traveling salesmen under
his direction has mado for Jilm an enviable
reputation with his employers.
It Is his Iron-clad rulo never to laud a
salesman for scoring a clever move, but to
bellttlo his work and urgo him on to greater
things It possible. A drone's career Is
short-lived with tho houso under this
modern commercial Caesar, and In order to
provo a winning card the salesman must bo
a "crackajack."
Traveling men, as a rule, are a sensitive
lot of creatures, albeit they arc a clover
lot ot men, 'but npt to resent encroachments
from the houso of a nature pursued by tho
subject of this sketch. Recently this de
partment head engaged tho services of a
veteran gum salesman to handle that staple
articlo as a specialty and travel in Iowa.
Tho traveling man had traveled for a doendo
with tho largest gum establishment In tho
world, and was fully posted on all tho tricks
and expedients of this particular line.
Ho started out from this city ono Mon
day morning and took in sovcral small
towns, whero he surprised himself with tho
amount of business he wus able to land.
His success continued for soveral days until
ho visited tho hamlet ot Eldora, la. Hero
ho did not procuro an order, try hard as
ho might, and ho prepared to leavo on tho
next train. While Idling tlmo on the depot
plntform ho Incidentally Btruck up a con
versation with nn old citizen of tho village,
whoso most distinguished features were his
unkempt whiskers and disheveled hair,
which branched out from beneath his slouch
hat in all directions. Ho was either a
typical mossback or a traditional populist,
but tho fact that he Intended starting a
grocory tho very next week engaged tho
gum salesman's rapt attention. Tho old
fellow knew as much about tho business ho
was about to embark in as does a bovino
about astronomy, nnd It 'didn't tnko tho
lntuttlvo gum salesman long to talk tho
prospective merchant prlnco Into a good
sized order. When tho salesman closed his
'book ho had exactly $150 worth of gum sold
to tho old follow. That amount of gum whs
sufficient to keep every man, woman and
child iu the hamlet chewing steadily for a
decado and then leavo enough to supply
Vassar collego for a month or more. Tho
salesman felt elated and sent his order In
to tho house nt onco, Ho banked on recclv
Ing a letter of congratulation from his erl
ploycr nnd believed that his standing as a
salesman would be materially raised by the
transaction. Instead of tho letter expected
ho received ono worded as follows:
"You aro not selling enough gum. You
must bo moro aggressive and push sales.
You visited Eldora and sold only $150
worth of gum. It Is aggravating to us to
receive such small orders. Pleuso make nn
effort to do mora conscientious work."
Tho receipt of such a missive threw the
salesman Into a violent rage. He forthwith
headed for this city, whero he proceeded to
Imblbo tho (lowing bowl to tho extent of be
coming hilariously intoxicated. Standing
beforo a group of companions he toro his
ordor book containing several largo orders
into shreds and throw the pieces on ths
Fnrnam street pavement. In order to get
oven with tho man who wrote tho virulent
letter he straightway proceeded to a tele
graph olllco and sent a night message it
being after midnight In which ho tendered
his resignation In such a glowing style that
the charges on tho message amounted to
moro than $3, It wns seat "collect" and
was dqllvered nt 'i o'clock that morning.
Of course a belllcoso state exists between

Tho Board of Education, through Its spe
cial committee, consisting of William F.
Johnson, Robert Smith and Chnrles E. Biuck,
makes the following statement In regard to
tho complaints of some of tho cltizenj liv
ing on tho west outskirts of tho city:
"Mr. Edward Walsh, who lives upon tho
west side of tho city, nnd somo of his neigh
bors hnvo been very bluer against tho
Board of Education nnd school olllclals 'be
cause ono room of their school has been
closed and tho children transferred to
larger schools nearer to the center of tho
city.
"Tho commlttto charged with Investigat
ing tho complaint of Mr. Walsh and his
fellow objectors went Into tho matter care
fully, visited tho school, looked over tho
ground, observed tho dlstnnces different
children must go, compnrcd these distances
with tho distances traveled by children In
other parts of the city, and reported their
lludlngs to tho board. Tho members of tho
Ilonnl of Education dlscufsed the report,
listened to tho objectors, nnd, feeling that
no injustlco wns being done, decided to
stand 'by their action previously taken. In
deciding tho matter, tho board considered
chiefly three points:
"First That tho children transferred have
much better school privileges than they had
beforo, now being In schools where better
classification exists, made posslblo by a
greater number of children tn attendance.
That theso children transferred from this dis
trict had been getting instruction Inferior to
what they now rccclvo is -shown by tho
fact that most of them when transferred
wcro found to bo much behind other chil
dren In tho class to which they wcro sup
posed to belong. Nearly all of them must
work unusually hard for tho rest of the
year to mako up their deficiency, whllo In
somo cases they will not bo uble to do It
and must full back a clasn, This need not
bo attributed to poor teachers In the school
whero they have been, but to the fact that
so many classes wero necessarily taught in
tho room that nono of tho classes could ro
celvo proper caro or tho best instruction.
"Second That theso children are not re
quired to go farther to school than chil
dren of similar age and grade tn other
parts of tho city. In somo cases children
much youngor than theso West Sldo chil
dren aro now going distances greater than
any West Sldo children are required to go
with tho excoptlon of Ave, whoso street car
faro Is paid by the Board of Education.
Of tho children from the West Sldo school
attending Columbian school, two go eigh
teen blocks, two go seventeen blocks, two
go sixteen, and ono goes fifteen, and the
others go distances ranging from fourteen
down to seven blocks. Nono of theso chil
dren aro under twelvo years of ago and tho
distances for children of that ngo nro not
cxcesslvo'nnd do not work any great hard
ship. "In another district In tho city children
aro and havo been going for years fifteen,
sixteen, nineteen nnd ns far as twenty-two
blocks to school. In another district In an
other part of tho city children not only In
tho samu grades, but children two years
youngor, aro going thirteen, fourteen, and In
somo cascu ns many as nineteen blocks to
atlond school. In another district In an
other part of the city children in these tamo
grades aro going from thirteen to fifteen
blocks. In auother district In still another
part of tho city children not only In tho
samo grades, but children two and three
years younger, am going twelve, thirteen,
fourteen, and up to oven twenty-eight blocks
to school ton blocks farther than any of
tho West Sldo children aro required to go.
The parenta of theso children nro not coming
to tho Board of Education with protests or
demands, or threats. They rcallzo that
people who chocse to llvo In tho outskirts
of tho city, whore It costs less to buy prop
erty, cannot enjoy as many conveniences as
near their homes ns people who live nearer
tho center of things, whero property Is
valued at five, or perhaps ten, times ns
much.
"Third Having Investigated nnd .ascer
tained that ro hardship appears to bo In
lllcted upon the children concerned, and that
tho children nro In all cases as well nnd
probably much bettor taught than they wcro
I before, the Board of Education Is not blind
to tho fact that by this meusurc which they
havo adopted tho people of tho city aro
being saved nearly $100 per month. It is
notable that by this plnn tho children lit
outlying districts, whoso parents occupy
low-priced property, aro given the samo
school advantages as tho children of parents
j living on tho higher-priced property ncaier
the center of town; furthermore, frequent
complaints havo been made by newspapers
and taxpayers that money should bo saved
and tho schools administered moro economic
ally. The Board of Education has recently
adopted several measures of retrenchment
nnd this plan of consolidation Is among tho
number. It seems that this disposition on
the part of tho Board of Education to savo
monoy, wherever It can bo dono without in
Jury to tho schools, should moot with tha
approval of all fair-minded people."
