STENOS HAYJATCH COLD County's Girl Employes Suffering in Unheated Old Court House. MAY JOIN MISS ANNABEL LEE Poor Girl Who Lies la Tomb by the Sounding Sea May Have Con pany Valess 4 Protection from Cold Comes. Bveryone who is familiar with the writings of Edgar Allan Poe remembers the sad fate of "the beautiful Annabel Lee." - Omaha people will regret to learn that the girl stenographers and clerks In the old Douglas county court house are In dire danger of coming to a similar sad end. It was "darn chilly" In the build ing today, as one of the stenolsts re marked. The old heating plant has been removed, it having been thought that the county would be housed in the new county building before more cold weather should come. Annabel is Beautiful. "As the poem narrates, Annabel Lee was beautiful. She was a perfectly de lightful girl and quite accomplished; played the piano, sang a little, and could take a hand at bridge. She was quite a little embroiderer, too. Lot me pour you some more tea; that's all cold. Well, as I was saying, you wouldn't want to meet a nicer girl than Miss Lee. Her health nas never the best.' As a Uttle girl she never was strong. .The pome says she and Poe, or whoever it was loved with a love that was stronger than that of many far older and wiser than they were. Miss Lee's lack of wisdom was her un doing. It seems that she went out one night without a wrap or with too light a wrap or thin-soled shoes and it was quite windy. She got in the chill wind and caught her death of cold and the next thing she knew she wets down with pneu monia. - Swoop Down on Her. According to the; porno a flock ot "wlng-ed" . seraphs swooped down from heaven and bore her away. The fact Is, though, she died. Poor Miss Lee. It was a shame that she had to die. Now "the moon never beams without bring ing" him . "dreams of . the beauti ful Annabel Lee;'.' but,- while a dream is nice enough in its way, hang it all, it won't get up-in the morning, start the fires and fix the eggs and toast. "Truth all the night tide," he states, he lies down by the side of Miss Lee "in her tomb by the sounding sea." This is not the writer's notion of any good place to lie down, as the sounding sea might keep a person awake all night and he wouldn't be fit for work the next day; but it was Poe'a idea ot paradise just then and as long as he was satisfied who else has any right to kick. . He made his tomb and he was willing to sleep in it Annabel Lee's Tomb. Well, if they don't get into the new building pretty soon, or a temporary beat ing plant Isn't put in the old or the weather doesn't moderate all the dolls In the county's employe will be crowding Into the Annabel Lee tomb until no one can lie there and the s. r. o. sign will have to be hung out. The county Remington brigade shivered around all morning and even after they donned their coats they were chilly. HER ATTORHETA HUMORIST Facetiously Worded Petition Filed in County Court by J. E.
