Albright Lad Finds "Seeing the World" Hard. Proposition Two months of sleeping in box cars, doorways and barns and pro viding his own meals with the few pennies he could earn selling news papers, was enough to cure 13-year-old Henry Swodeck, 1521 Drexel ave nue, Albright, of his desire to see the world. He ran away from home two months ago and the police ana juve nile authorities had been seeking him ever since. His parents had been frantic with grief since their son's disappearance. When he was brought into juvenile court before Judge Leslie, Henry said that he would be eager to stay at home after this. "I didn't have a square meal all the time I was away," he said.

ELKS HOLD THEIR EXERCISES IN PARK General Harries the Orator, and in His Address He Pays Tribute to the American Flag. DECLARES FOR PREPAREDNESS General George H. Harries paid a nice tribute to the flag in his address at Hanscom park after . the parade, during the annual Flag day exercises of the Elks. The Elks' division nnp nf tli fi,a divisions Of the hitr Flair Hav naranV instead of disbanding at Sixteenth and Leavenworth streets, as the rest Of the divisions rliri maintain! formation and moved to Hanrnm ! park, where the exercises were held. ' liencral Harries. SDeaker of the day. reviewed the success of the aft ernoon parade, of which he was grand marshal, and spoke of what this pa rade meant to Omaha and the coun try. "Do we fully realize," he asked, what this day of Omaha demonstra tion means throughout the country?" "It is a voice crying in what was so lately the geographical wilderness tne supposed wilderness ot placid unconcern. '1 his flag is our flag, let no man dare say otherwise.' " RevicwiiiK the historv of the flair briefly, and commenting on some of President Wilson's recent remarks, the general continued in part: "The things we must do to extend and to make effective this rebirth of individual interest in the common weal are many. Even a hastily com piled catalogue of our shortcomings would be an appalling document. An inventory of the necessary men, money and material makes startling revelation of our carelessness. But One Keynote. "As to the seriousness of the topic there is little real difference of opin ion. Recognizing the public concern our political elements are declaring themselves in tones which may ul timately harmonize. There is but one keynote, and it will be for the people of this land to determine which of the vocalists sings true. Meanwhile let us have the essential thing preparedness of the spirit. Without that the most carefully framed plans and the most extrava gant of preparations will not avail." Stenger May Come as Superintendent of Union Pacific A rumor has reached Union Pacific headquarters from St. Joseph to the effect that Ernest Stenger, general manager of the St. Joe & Grand Is land, one of the auxiliary lines of the Union Pacific, may become general superintendent of the Overland sys tem, with headquarters in Omaha. At headquarters here the rumor is regarded merely as a rumor. There are no officials in town who have authority to speak, all of them being out on the main line, or in the east. The appointment of a general man ager would come within the scope of the authority of President Calvin, who assumes his otticial duty July 1, and who is now in Salt Lake City. When General Manager Jeffers was promoted from general superinten dent, it was intimated that the last named office would remain unfilled, but there now seems to be an under current of opinion that the idea has been abandoned and that the posi tion of general superintendent may be continued. At the present time the office force of the general super intendent is being held intact, and Mr. Jcffery officially is performing the duties of both general manager and general superintendent. PICKPOCKETS BUSILY PLY TRADE DURING THE PARADE During the hours of Wednesday afternoon that the Flag day parade was engaging the attention ot the populace thieves were busily plying their trade. C.

Margente Woodruff, 3846 Hamilton street, lost a purse contain ing $3; Mrs. E. M. Learning, 4J19 Grant street, lost a purse containing a valuable watch, and H. B.

JOE HUMMEI GETS SOME TENTS TO USE IN PARKS When the city council appropriated $400 from the park fund for the pur chase ot tents, Mayor Damman in quired whether Commissioner Hum mel intended to go into the circus business.

(Special Tele gram.) They ' ad a trifle over two hours of convention here today and didn't do nothing, because they was afraid that if they done something they wouldn't be nothing left to do and we got to stay here till Saturday so the brewers will clean up enough to spend the summer at South Haven. I will write this stuff like usual ii. chronological order, like it hap pened, the same way two other stars, Irving R. Coob and Arthur Brisbane, write their stuff, and each one of we three stars claims that the others stole the idea from him, but it was Moses that really got up the idea Kiley Wilson, the Virginia spell next with a few new ones like Abra ham Lincoln and "I'nited we stand, stewed we stagger." When he had run out of gas the band played to waste a little more time, and then Governor Glynn, the well known New York Spaniard, plucked more fragrant flowers of eloquence than we. thought was in the garden. He drug in the name of Woodrow Wilson and the whole convention got up and yelled and marched around, and waved flags and they figured that if they kept it up long enough the governor would get hungry and go Home. But he stuck right on the job, and when everybody was sick of making a monkcv of thcmself, he was nice and fresh and ready to continue and binder, spell-bound us till 4 o'clock! had thought up a few more hundred this morning and I didn't have any thing to do after that till o clock, when 1 was billed to meet a train, so 1 got pretty near two hours sleep and that pretty good for a conven tion. He Eat All He Wanted. TJicn 1 wanted to get two extra tickets f the convention and I wenl ii. the Sullivan headquarters and says to Mr. Skidmore: "Mr. Skidmore," I says, "Mr. Bren- nan promised me a couple of extra tickets." So Mr. Skidmore gave me the couple of tickets and then I went out and seen Mt. Brennan and ast him lor a couple of extra tickets and he says "Sure I will get them for you." but 1 says: "Never mind, I already got them." bo then l went to tne manager oi the hotel and ast him to put Frank King out of my room and he put Frank out and give him another room, and now I won't have to fur nish ideas for cartoons no more. Pretty soon it come time to bo out to the Coliseum and I rode in a horseless carriage and the man that drove it was scared if he went over two miles an hour he'd blow out a spark plug and it would cost him the race. Instead of going in the press box like usual, I set way up in the gallery and three arguments against suffrage set right behind me and kep me on tender hooks until the music started. After awhile the band played "Mary land, My Maryland," the tune of which was made in Germany and "My Country 'Tis of Thee" that the melody was wrote in England. They done this to make it neutral. Then the convention opened up and I was glad I was setting in the gal lery, because I couldn't hear all of what thev was savins on the platform. The first speaker was the Rev. Lee that's a presiding alderman in the Methodist church. When nea saia his prayer we was all thankful he hadn't been called on for a sermon. The person he was praying to would Drobablv be liked better if they'd been about six thousand words of it cut out. After the prayer was over, sev eral ano lauded, which is done in the republican circles. One auditor jumped right out of his seat and shouted to his reverence: "Brother, vou said something." which was true.

Once he says something that sounded like Bryan and Mr. Bryan thought it was, and applauded. Mr. Brvau was down in the press box and was nattily attired in a Prince Albert coat that the prince forgot to take off one night. Hears Bryan Travels. Mr. Brvan travels light, they say. He doesn't even have to carry a hair brush. 1 and He will be just like that in a few more years. Alexander Hamilton seemed to be Governor Glvnn's favorite topic of conversation. because, as 1 says before, they ain't no old democrats that the party can boast of. The gov. got mixed in a figure of speech once and nut himself bad with the suttragc element, "The rugged hands of the women and the delicate hands of the men." was what he says, and all the girls mond get up and bolt the democratic party. Secretary Kremer says a few words ; about what the convention had been ; called for, so as they would not no-' body think they was to slice cucum-l ben. What the Referee Says. Charley White, the New York ref eree, was head door tender. "How do they look to you I ast him in a brief interview. "Not very good he says. But then 1 suppose I'm spoiled because most of the guys I been associated with was boxers." When I made up my mind they wasn't no use in me staying around longer, I beat it down town and went in the big department store to buy a shirt. They was two of my size to select from, so I got them both and am going without meals tonight and tomorrow. Between Two Parties. Tonjght they's going to he what they, call a frolic at Delmar garden under the ostriches of the Press club, and I was ast to go and keep still, but Irving Cobb was ast to speak and I won't stand for no playing favorites. 1 will just ignore their darn old party, and when I say party, I don't mean the democratic party, because you can't live in this hotel and ignore that. Tomorrow they's going to be an other two-hour sesession and when they adjourn they're going to the ball game, so maybe if I feel good tomorrow I will go along and instead of writing about the convention I will write about the ball game, and try and make it awfully funny, which some of the games here is without half trying. I seen Katherine Synon interview Secretary Daniels today and she kept a straight tace all through.

Everybody approaches the doctor witn fear of outrageous charges or adviaed operation. Go to aome of theae doctors for examination and be will send you to his friend for farther examination, and by the time you are through you have paid several fees and adviaed to make ready for the hospital and operation. If you will not submit to this graft they will advise sli weeks' rest cure at $2I week that yoxt could have taken at home at no expenae. THIS IS NOT A DREAM it Is going on in Omaha every day. Some of Omaha'a moat noted doctors resort to this graft. THEY DON'T ADVERT! 8K it is beneath their dignity. Dignity and honesty ia easily forgotten when the dollar la in sight Why do they charge honest country people $10 to $20 for examination and charge city folks only $2 or $8.

Then bear in mind that each of these TWO flat, rubber-impregnated, Cords is STRONG enough to lift a man's weight. You have hert the secret of that marvellous ENDURANCE, in Silvertown Cord Tires, which has made it possible for the Gladiators of the Race-Track to TAKE OUT OF the Motor Cars they drive, ALL the speed which the Builders of these Cars can put INTO them. That no "Thread" Tires, (calling themselves by the Silvertown name of "Cord" Tires), ahowpictures of their 5 to 7 layers of Thread construction, is significant. . But, that none of them are SEEN, or HEARD from on the Race Track (which is the OuciNe for testing Tire ENDURANCE) ia MORE than significant. ' , , , Silvertowns have never been intended as mere RACING Tires. But,the fact that the Speed-Kings of the Race-Track elect to PAY FOR THEM, when they could have other Tires free for the asking, is mighty well worth noting. S' lILVERTOWN Cord Tires, not only give rtttaiiuii, ias-oi-iuaing, ana erotic Elegance to Cars equipped with them but they also add: 1st 17 more Net-Power and Speed to same Car. 2nd 20 further Coasting Quality. 3rd 25 more Mileage, per Gallon of Gas olene. And, this latter feature soon pays for the relatively small additional cost which SILVERTOWN Cord Tire Construction makes necessary, per Tire. No Thread (or so-called Cord) Tires average "LARGER." The demand for Silvertown Cord Tires has, for nearly two years, far exceeded our capacity for pro duction. But Silvertown Cord Tires may NOW be had through all GOODRICH Dealers and Branches.
