The lajt week has emphasized the fact
that the people Intend to Inveat their money
In homes or In r-al estate to hold as In

Week lii recent years which has recorded
so many cash sales as that which ended
Saturday evening. Several offices have
closed on ths average of three cash sales
per day and have more sales under way
which will be closed early In the week. No
big sales have been reported, but lots have
been sold ranging In price from to
$l,(iO In all localities, from the llanscom
park district to Ames avenue, from Knuntie
place to Dundee and from the towrs.te of
Ralston to West Farnam.
While lots for building are much more In
demand than residence property, a number
of homes have been sold, all bringing what
the owners asked, and most of them cash
when the deed was delivered. Among the
homes sold In this way was the old A. C.

C. F. Harrison of the real estate firm of
Harrison ft Morton returned Friday from
Chicago, where with W. T. Graham he
attended the first meeting of the real es
tate dealers of the United States for the
purpose of organizing a national assocla
tlon. Both Mr. Harrison and Mr. Graham
addressed the convention, Mr. Graham on
the "Value of Organisation," and Mr. Har
rison on "Taxation." Mr. Graham was
made a member of the committee on per
manent organization and Mr. Harrison was
put on the executive committee of the
association.
Mr. Harrison said: "The meeting' was a
success In every way and the plan for or
ganization practically completed. Fifteen
states and twenty cities were represented,
delegates being In- attendance from far
west as Billings, Belllngham, Washington
and other western cities. From eastern
cities came delegations from Baltimore,
and Philadelphia. One of the first things
which the convention did wss to commend
President Roosevelt for calling the meet
ing to discuss tba conservation of natural
resources.. '. - .
"The real estate board of Chicago rare us
royal entertainment. There 'Was a spirited
contest oyer the location of the next cor
ventlon.. the cities which wanted It being
Seattle. Minneapolis ' and Detroit. As is
known, Detroit won out.'"
The Omaha delegates did not make any
effort to secure the convention, preferring
to ask for scynethlng else. Tills was to
Invite all the real estate dealers to visit
Omaha and attend the National Com ex
hibition next December. Mr. Harrison and
Mr. Graham did a good line of boosting for
Omaha at the convention and were heard
from several times In the discussions on
organisation. Tbey carried a small trunk
of Omaha literature when they went and
distributed It generously.
The Ralston Townsfte company will se
lect ten names for the streets In the new
Industrial center, out of 525 sets of names
suggested by the people of Omaha In com
petition for a lot which the company pro
poses to give the one selecting the best
nsmes. To the advertisements Inserted In
tho papers the company received the 626
answers. The north and south streets In
Ralston will be numbered. Seventy-second
street of Omaha, being the eastern boun
dary of the suburb. From this street the
numbers will run to Eighty-fourth street.
The town Is now staked out permanently.
Ten blocks are allowed for the business dis
trict, the streets In this part of the suburb
belr. eighty feet wide, while those In the
residence district are sixty feet wide.
Building restrictions are to be enforced In
the residence part of the town and on the
most prominent street no home costing
less than liioO may be erected. Near the
shops there will be no restrictions.

A remsrksble feature of the big busi
ness now being done In Omaha In the way
of selling ready made homes." said a
leading real estate man, "Is that a very
large proportion of the home buyers are
paylrg cash down for them In good hard,
cold dollars or In equally good currency."
Let other sections of the land read and
envy Omaha. This city has been the cen
ter of the arta of higher barometer dur
ing the recent panic which Is reported to
have visited the country. Dispatches from
New York and other financial centers. It
will bo remembered, report a janlc dur
ing tlie months of last fall and business
Is still at a low ebb. But in Omaha there
was no sign of It except as It was re
flected in the way of slow payment of
money loaned to New Torkers and others
n the east.
Bjt the cash payment feature of the
present home building era Is not only sat
isfactory, but very significant to those who
keep their eye upon 'he register cf
Omaha's prosperity.
"A prominent business man," said an
other dealer, "to whom we recently sold
a first-clean home made the remark. Uiat
he had been thinking of buying a home
for the last six months, but had deferred
doing so because of the unsettled condition
of the eastern money market and fear of
a reflection of the condition here. But as
his business still continues to run along
Its former lines and Increases rather than
decreases be felt that It was perfectly
safe to buy and that further deferment
would only result In a raising of the price
of the home which he intended to buy.
He has bought now and expects to see a
10 per cent profit on his Investment within
a year and I believe be will not be dis
appointed." Indicative of building activity in Omaha
this spring Is the fact that one firm, Hast
ings & Hcyden, took out permits on last
Thursday for the erection of seventeen
dwellings to cost V6.0C0. These range all
the way from a frame cottage at a cost
of ll.COo to a frame dwelling to cost 14.000.
There are fourteen houses of this class
Included In the seventeen permits. The
other three are to be double brick apart
ment houses ranging In price from 16,500
to If.too.
"An evidence of builders' belief In an
active spring market," said a man who
loans money, "is the fact that they have
willingly paid 6 per cent for all the money
they needed during the last sixty days In
crder to have a good supply of houses on
hand for the buyers. And their foresight
has been Justified. Also judging from the
rapid sale of houses so far the builders
will have to keep busy all through the
summer and well up into the fall In order
to supply the demand. Many houses which
are only half finished In this cliy have
been sold and paid for. That sounds like
an exaggeration, but It Is nothing but the
plain truth."
Bath rooms are coming In for a large
mount of attention In the building of
elegant modern homes In Omaha. This la
shown by the reports of dealers In these
fixtures. The day Is past when the ?oal
scuttle served the dual pwfpose of fuel
receptacle and bath cabinet. It Is now con
fined to the former use entirely and the
family takes Its bath In an elegant piece of
porcelain that rivals the marble lined
baths of the Romans. The use of porce
lain faced brick, which has been so com
mon In Germany and other European coun
tries Tor many years. Is getting more and
more established In this country, and a
modern bath room, fitted up as It can be,
even at moderate cost. Is a thing of beauty
and a Joy forever, and so attrsctlve that
It could fairly entice the proverbial un
soaped hobo to submit to the cleansing In
fluences of the bath.
Builders say, too, that bath rooms are
considered necessities nowadays In even the I
simplest houses. Planning,- home builders (
figure upon having a living room, a ed I
room and a bath room first. If there is
room for a kitchen well and good and it
there Is room also for a parlor and another
bed room and a reception hall so much the
better. But first and foremost there must
be a bath room. An elegant line of porce
lain fixtures Is shown by dealers and the
beauty of the bath room Is a thing to be
marveled at when It has an artistic tiled
floor end a pure white porcelaine brick
side.

Attractive and Inexpensive Homes
By ICax Xi. XeitU.
There is a great demand these days for
cottage homes; homes having the free,
easy air of a cottage, but at the same tiny?
having practically as much room as a
full two-story house. To obtain this low
roof type of house, but without too great
a sacrifice of space on the second floor,
the builders and architects have resorted
to the use of larie dormers, many of them
a whole room In size, thereby completely
satisfying the owner's desire for a cottage
home with plenty of room In it. This In
genious plan has met with much favor.
This house is one of these modern homes
which fulfills the specification of "a c t
tage home with plenty of room In It." The
appearance of the exterior Is very pleas n.
It Is a house that will sell well on sight.
The porch Is a large one, which Is a de
cided luxury. The windows are we'l placed
on the exterior and there are plenty cf
them. The main dormer on the front Is a
predominating feature. The rear Is a de
cided exception to most houses; It is fully
as attractive as the front, with its two
large shingle dormers, projecting bay and
stoop.
The house as built hss siding on the side
walls, shingled roof and dormers and con
crete block foundation. It would, however,
look very well, Indeed, If the side walls
were shingled, or, better still, covered with
cement plaster on metal lath, with prefer
ably a rough cast finish coat; or a more
substantial wall could be obtained by lay
It up with concrete blocks, adding the ex
tra thickness of wall required to the over
all dimensions Instead of taking It off the
rooms.
' The hall Is entered through a veitibule, on
one side of whioh Is a coat closet, whtcn
is almost a necessity In every home, and
on the other side is an alcove with a seat,
which makes a delightful cozy corner. The
hall Is a large one, well lighted and well
adapted for use as a sitting room. At one
end of the h&ll Is a broad stairway, which

GIDDY MEN GET TROUBLE
Peculiarities of Breach of FromlH
alts Held Vp as a
Warslig,
Miss Daisy AUerton has sued Frank
Ostrander, a Perth An. boy (N. J.) brick
manufacturer, for IS.uU) damages In breach
of promise of marriage. Ostrander Is over
GO years of age and a grandfather.
Common experience lias shown that ae
cuts a very small figure In such proceed
ln,-s. indeed, tne Texas court of civil ap
peals remarked on one occasion that "there
Is fully as much culpability In breaking a
promise ,of marriacc made to an elderly
noman as to a young woman," and pre
sumably the converse would also hold true.
In so action decided In New York some
years ago Miss Chellts, aged (7 years, sued
Mr. Chapman, aged "i year a, and recovered
JS.0OO.
It Isn't even ucceaaary, holds the court
In another case, that Barkis should ex
presajy state bis willingness. Miss Rox
celjena Ho man recovered Judgment after
notifying her admirer that any carriage
rides or Ice cream sodas would be con
strued as having been tendered with a view
to matrimony. An Illinois Jurist has taken
exception to this view, saying: "It "by no
means follows beesnee a ger.tlcmoa U 11..
suitor of a lady and visits her frequently
that a marriage engagement exlats b
tween them. If this were so It would be
dangerous for an unmarried man to pay
attention to an unmarried woman. Junes
always lean toward the woman, and no
man would be safe from ths contrivances
of an artful and designing female whose
company might please him.'
Undoubtedly the temperament of the
judge la somewhat of a . factor In such
caaca. Few have seen fit to adopt the
cynical ton of Judge Thayer of Oregon,
who spread upon- the records his opinion
that "the notion that "women belonged to
the weaker sex la eery antertalned by the
credulous aad U,s linjppLkwUd." aw
Turk Wwld,
sscends to the second story by seventeen
easy risers in two flights. The cellar stair
goes down under It to the basement. The
start of the stair Is situated near the pas
sage to the basement. The start of the
stair Is situated near the passage to the
kitchen, so, that It serves the purpose of
a front and rear, or combination stair. On
the front side of the living room Is a
broad group of windows, which give a
good view toward the street, while at ths
opposite end of the room are the broad
bay window and fireplace, so situated with
relation to each other that they make a
very coxy combination. This room, not in
cluding the bay, is fourteen feet wide and
twenty feet long. The broad openings
throw the house all together" In a man
ner which makes It very homelike. The
dining room Is pleasant with a projecting
bay, which adds materially to its size. A
i. M. C. DESIGN NO. S,
built-in sideboard, with a "pass," could be
easily placed on the wall between It and
the kitchen, or a movable sideboard In sev
eral positions. The kitchen Is a good-slsed
one, with ample room for the range or gas
stove, kitchen cabinet and cupboards, sink
table and Ice box.
The second floor has three good-sized
chambers, closets, bath room and linen
closet. One chamber In particular Is very
large. This house altogether has more
closets than we are accustomed to find In
cottage homes. As a rule they are most
conspicuous by their total absence. These
closets are not cut down by the slant of
the roof (except on the far end of two of
them), but are full height. Most closets
built under the roof are usually complete
in the accommodations and details which
make life at home a Joy and lasting pleas
ure. It Is a (2,600 house.
