made a gain of 10 per cent each, and gro
cery sales made a gain of 13 per cent.
Jewelry store advertising Increased It per
cent, but the jewelry sales showed a gain
of 3 per cent. The Increase In Jewelry

cant and Indicative of prosperous busi
ness conditions, as people generally buy
luxuries only when prosperous. Omaha

country, and Information obtained from
local merchants Is embraced In this com

A distant relative of "Bobby" Burns,
beloved poet of bonnie Scotland and the
world, lives in Omaha.
Hoot, mon, did ye no know It?
Aye, his nam Is James Burness, chief
deputy In the collector of customs' office.
He's a Scotchman from Scotland. He
was born In Ochtomuchty, Scotland, a
place which, ho says, you can't pronounce
correctly unless you're a German. Other
wise you'll probably pronounce the "ch"
like a "k," which is not correct.
"Bohhy BurnV name was originally
Burness,' " ssys the Omaha Burness.
"Bobby thought tht name was hard to
pronounce and so he changed it to Burns,
which Is the name by which the whole
world knows him. He tells about It some
where, and ma mlther used to tell, back
In Ochtomuchty, Just how our family was
related to bis."
James Burness has the full Kcotch burr
in his speech, and nobody can say "It'
a bra' bright 'nooiillcht nlcht the nlcht"
Just exactly to suit, him. No matter If
you say it exactly like he docs he shakes
his head and declares. "No, ' ye csnna'

Not in years has the street railway
company had as hard a storm to fight as
the present one, is the assertion of Oen-
re eral Manager Smith, who said:
Not since the lines were electrified
have we had a stoim that compared with
this one In the matter of giving us
tiouble. Of course, the bllxsard of
twenty-eight years ago was more severe,
but those dsys we were running horse
cars, and when the storm became too
bad. we simply unhitched and turne I

business in retailing," and November It
