calls to Kentucky. I frequently hear that

they get that line working I want to nonv
Inate Madame Psladlno'g old pirate friend

never on the Job when called for

operator who could call him to the Instru

"Whether they will Install party lines

Hated, so that nona but their Intimatea
will know where to call them up.
"Of courae the Installation of thla new

the other end of the line can call tip, but
If they do there won't be a thing to It when
they begin to call up debtors and remind
them about that little matter of $10 and

gown. Rose broadcloth waa used for this
frock. The odd shaped yoke which was
cut In one with the sleeves was of heavy
ecru lace, and a band of this lace trimmed
th waistline. A shaped band of the lace
outlining the top' of the flounce was the
only trimming on the skirt.
Ratine will be as smart this spring aa has
been t(ie cane all winter, and so much in
fashion's favor Is this new cloth that It
bids . faii'J to outrival 'the ' ever favoilte
serge. Although scarcely, appropriate for
an elaborate costume thla fabrie Is never
theless sufficiently smart for most pur
pose for which a tailor costume can be
worn, and Just now Is so new that It Is
more generally worn In tha afternoon than
la apt to be the caae with a texture of
rough finish. For a somewhat smarter
atyle of dreas the newest thing Is one' of
tha satln-flnlshed cloths. So exquisite In
texture Is thla material that even on close
Inspection It Is often dlfflcut to tell It from
the real satin, and In purchasing a gown
at thla time of the year, when It I de
sired to have a costume that will look
smart at the early spring festivities, this
satin-faced cloth la not to be surpassed.
The bodice for the gown may be of the
same material or, If lighter weight I de
sired, of real satin. In one of the soft,
aupple, qualities that are In their perfec
tion thla year.
On many of the newest tailor gowns a
two or three-Inch fringe of the exact
color of the cloth la the only trimming.
The Jacket I bordered all around with
thla fringe and the short skirt has a band
of the fringe laid over the hem. The new
tailor skirts Just escape the ground by
from one to two Inches, while the majority
of house gowna Just touch the floor, with
an extra Inch or ao In back for grace.

"Still t Fleeve" Juwtlce us rendered In
American border courts has furnished a
mine of funny comment and Interesting
Ktorles for hun.orlsts and magazine writ
ers. .Now cornea un English magazine, the
Cuiniilll for January, containing an article
by Frederick Pollock under the title "Ara
Mnlana." which shows tne Iirltlsh bench
can once in a while furnish some humor
cf Its own.
William St. Julien Arabin was a sergeant-at-law,
a commissioner of the Central
criminal court and judge of the sheriff's
court In London, who administered Justice
from W21 to 1641, when he died, aged flj.
Mr. Pollock says Judge Arabin was inti
mately acquainted with "brlckmakeis' man
ners'," as one can well believe when he ad
dressed a prisoner before him, a brick
maker, in these terms:
"I have no doubt of, your guilt. You go
Into a public house and break bulk and
drink beer, and that's what in law la called
embezzlement."
In a case Irvolving a neighborhood quar
rel, JudKt- Arabin said:
"I know High Wycombe, it Is the worst
neighborhood on the face of the earth.
The whole coi r.try Is covered with brick-
makers. They come from all part of the
world. I know all about them."
In another case Judge Arabin said in
his charge to the Jury:
lie was a brlrkmaker. Now, we all
know what a brickmaker's character Is;
at least, I do. Thla is a case from L'x
brldge. I won't say a word, as can anyone
doubt the prlsoner'a guilt?"
r
What He Had to Say
Which would Indicate a brickmaker had
not much show in that court.
To a young woman witness In the same
court the court said:
"Now, young woman for you are a
young woman and have a child in your
arms If 1 catch you tripping, 1 will put
you where the prisoner Is. 1 have given
you warning kindly; you had better aay
you know nuthlng about it."
The prisoner, in tils own behalf, said that
his premises were searched and no living
animal was found in his possession, "ex
cept his own person." and euggested that
the pigs he was alleged to have stolen
"had strayed for a little recreation."
When a witness in a case said he was
from a certain place the court asked:
"Constable, is Barnet a very honest
place?"
"No. my lord," said the constable.
"No. To my knowledge there ought to
be fifty constables there."
Passing a caaual remark, on a verdict of
guilty against a woman, Judge Arabin said
to the prisoner: "You must get out of
the country. You have disgraced' even
your aex."
Which would seem to Indicate the court
liked women us little as he did brickmak
er. Thla view ia atrengthened by his ob
jurgation to another woman on the witness
stand.
"You come here with your head In false
wigs. If you can't speak out, I'll take off
your bonnet. If that won't do, you shall
take your cap off, and If you don't speak
out then, I'll take your hair off."
In a more chlvalroua mood, in a oase In
volving the tliefl of a pail of milk, Judge
Arabin opined that "one woman Is worth
twenty nun for a witness any day."
In the like strain, to a shoemaker wit
ness who had a cold, the court said: "A
man with a cold Is not fit to try a lady's
shoes on."
Snapping nl one woman witness, Arabin
shouted: ' Woman, how can you be so
stupid? Yo'.i ure tall enough to be wise
enough."
r
Notes on Things
The manufacture of mattresses, pillows
and cushions from sponge material, dried
and sterillxed. has become an important
business In Florida.
An argument of the designer of an auto
mobile that has but one wheel in front Is
that It steers more readily, especially when
the. road Is rough.
By the close of this year about 67.0(10 miles
of railroads in the I'nlted States, a little
more than one-fourth, w III be equipped with
block signals.
Damage estimated at 12.KW.10 has been
charged up to the chestnut tree blight In
Philadelphia, New lork and New Jersey
alone In the last four years.
Only the bridge, conning tower, funnel,
mast and turrets will be carried above the
water line of a battleship which the British
admiralty ia designing.
ttillt the Reverse. I
"Did your father ever, raise his hand
to you, Billy?" asked Tommy.
"Hundreds of times." said Billy. "But
It wasn't that that bothered me. Where I
got stung was when he brought It down."

We have had several little
things on the boards down
here this week, as well as the
election of a native son to he
I nit cil States senator from
Nebraska. Among them waa
the reappearance of one of the
oldest standhys known to the
history of Nebraska lawmak

to define the condition of the
I'nion Stock Yards at South
Omaha, and to rtgulate
charges for service thereat.
This measure makes its ap
pearance regularly at each
session, and lias alwaya been
a sure producer.

expected to arrive almost any

MAKING SOME HISTORY
Wise Men at Washington
Busy Hon. I.bberk Lo
cates Paymaster.
(Froir. a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19
(Special A Bit Knocked About
in .the Mail.) We have been
a little more than- usually
busy for tho last couple of
weeks, making some history
that no one will ever read.
Walter I. Smith received ths
reward of his fidelity to the
tirand Old Party, and will
have the chance to step from
the seat of I. congressman to
that of Judge of the I'nlted
States circuit court of ap
peals. The pay Is not quite so
big. but the new Job has the
advantage of permanency.
Oolng back to the referendum
once every two years often
n.i.kes one nervous.
The real event of the week
was the advent of Hon. Low
beck, who gumshoed In from
Baltimore to take a look
around the place. Hon. Latta
did the honors, and Hon. Low
beck was shown how to get In
and out of the building, and
where the paymaster's office
is, and other points of Inter
est. He expressed himself as
being well pleased wtlh the
prospect.
Hon. Hitchcock a com
patriots In the house envy him
his luck. Most of them have
been promised big things by
their admiring const It lien's,
hut up to date Hon. Hitchcock
is the only one w ho has cashed
in anything on the Insurgency
game. It pleases the Insur
gents mightily to see another
democrat going In to take the
place of a republican. Some
day, when Champ Clark
brgtna to drive the ateam
roller over them, they'll real-
ixe fully the extent of the vie
tory they have won for the
"plain peepul."
Kchoes of that Baltimore
love feast are coming In
slowly as tho various par
ticipants reach town. It was
surely one grand display of
democratic simplicity; also of
democratic symptoms, as d
fined bv a Chicago policeman
as far back as IhM.
Several things on the tapis;
more anon. BILL,.
PERSONAL.
Jerry Howard knows what
he want when he want it.
Chet Aldrlch paid u'a Ty
ing visit on Monday. He
wanted to see what a work
men' lodge looked like when
in session.
Hen Clarke was up from
Lincoln Wednesday Hen says
railroading la fine In Nebraska
these days.
Al Tatek was In town from
Denver, looking over the land
show. Al used to be in the
game himself, but he know
better now.
Johnny Lynch taya the
'dead man's desk" doesn t
worry him a bit. Hi knows
how to enjoy nimaeii wnen ha
la all alone.
Mayor Jim Dahlinan visited
Lincoln Wedneaday. He says
he doesn't mind it so much
now, since he haa seen what
ought have happened.
' Walt Smith of C. Bluffs,
knocked a big persimmon
down at Washington. Ho long
as it had to go that way, we d
a lief see Walt get it as any
one we know.
Thrift.
When good old redheaded
"Doc" Hurrlgan was coroner,
he used to hold a post mortem
and autopsy on every corpstt
that t ame under his Jurlsou -tion.
Thla is Just referred to
as showing how the otrice
nay be made to pay by ths
exercise of proper thrift.
Bur.
The quiet that envelope
the city hall so dense that tt
la noticeable even tn strangers,
must not be taken to Indicate
that the inmates are all dead.
They're not; they're Jut busy
trying to forget what hap
pened to them.
Polly Hitchin Her Book
I'oor Peter waa a bit put out "cause he
didn't win the prize, and I'm sure he de
served it more n me, though, as he say,
it comes to the same thing ao long as It's
in the family. I don't know, however, I
came to win it, ana you couia nave
knocked me down with a feather when the
lady read out my name. She was looking
Just lovely, and she brought her little
girl along with her. I never saw nobody so
stiff and straight as she was, and her frock
was that short that I reikon her mother
has to think about saving the stuff same
as mine, for she seemed to have growed
out of everything all at once like.
I had to go up and get the prize, and
everybody clapped, and I never knew be
fore how terrible bad getting a prize does
make you feel; but I did keep hoping that
the little girl thought my hair was better
crimped than hers.
It was last Wednesday I won the prize,
and yesterday the wonderf ullest thing of
all happened. We waa out playing In our
street, same as usual j most of the bos
was racing on their roller skates, except
ing about a dozen who was playing foot
ball with a tin can, and the rest of us was
skipping and whipping tops, and then, ot
course, there was all the kids about, o
the street did seem pretty full and busy,
when all of a sudden I saw my beautiful
lady standing at ths corner quite fright
ened like. She told m she had come all
