One minute later a second gong sounds, and employes nearest each window raise the lower cash to Its fullest height. Imme diately a flood of air rushes In, oven on calmes days, and expels the impure and vitiated atmosphere, making a complete change by the time the third gong sounds' two minutes later, announcing the time for closing windows and the resumption of work.

One Inclined to carp might extract some consolation from the public announcement that the Omaha Water Board doesn't know what to do, now It has the authority to issue the bonds. Befare election the water boarders had a program en tirely mapped out, one of whose features was the lm- mediate possession of the plant: Now It Is admitted that the plant will remain in possession of the company until the termination of pend ing suits. After that time the course 'of the Water board will be shaped in accordance with the decision. Another high-priced attorney Is to be employed to examine the bond issue, to determine if it is valid. If so. the board wfll sell the bonds. Beyond this nothing is definite. Doesn't It seem us If there had been something like un called for baste In th clamor for the bond issue? Coming".

"Cutty stool" was the seat of repentance formerly employed in th Scottish -chtirc'h for the exposure of offender against the moral Jaw. . ' . .. The transgressor- having been deprived of church' ordinance and duly taken to task privately, was then compelled to make a public acknowledgement of the misdeed prior to being restored to communion. Each culprit did penance by occupying the cutty stool In the presence of the whole congregation, and, was openly lectured by the minister on the enormity of the of fense. Occasionally the offender was clad in a white sheet, the stool of repentance being painted black and placed conspicuously in an upper gallery of the kirk. School primer were first printed In 1535.

Their hostess had composed with great care a program for them a program be ginning with a. cool bath after their jour ney and running on through a motor ride, an open-air luncheon, a game of bridge, tea, etc., and immediately on their arrival th program was put In operation. "I know how fond you Englishmen are of bathing," the' hostess said, "and now, th first thing, I Insist on your taking a bath. You look so hot and dusty, I'm sure you will enjoy it." But the guests. In - their polite, mild, English way. demurred. The lady, how ever, was firm,- and Captain Lloyd and Captain Wilson, murmuring Inarticulate and vain protests, were led upstairs by footmen to two cool marble bath. They were absent about an hour. Then, looking much cooler, they came down stairs, went straight to their hostess and said hurriedly: "We are sorry to leave so soon, bu( we only cam to make a call and our train goe now in fifteen minutes."

The "spendthrift fund" of 160.000 was created by Braman'a father, Orenville T. W. Braman, who died in 1901, say the American. The son inherited about $125, 000, beside th fund. When he left Har vard he went Into th brokerage business. Later, after he had spent several day In jalt because of failure to pay . a li.fsX) award to a man ha had run down with his automobllo, he waa forced Into bank ruptcy. A court decided that Braman should continue to draw the Inoom from the VA, 000 "spendthrift fund" during 4ils lifetime, but creditor obtained an order for th ale at auction of th chance that Braman would die childless.
