Everything the Youngster De
.light In Meets Their Gaze
as They Enter Its
Realms.
' By A. R. GROH.
Do you know the toy'n'candy store
nun?
Oh, he'f a wonderful man. You
will find him in various places along
North Twenty-fourth street, on Vin
ton street, on South Thirteenth street,
on the South Side.
His stoVe is a curiosity shop, a
wonderland fe children.
Every few minutes you can hear
the patter of little feet and the sound
of childish voices. Then into the
front dooij tumble several youngsters,
all excitement over the penny they
hive tn snend. -
"Have you any penny blues?" they"
ask. Or, How much re these? Long
ing eyes survey the contents of the
randy case and the momentous deci
sion is finally made, perhaps to "take
two all-day suckers.
The toy'n'candy store man doesn't
get excited. He givea over the two
all-day suckers and the youngsters
tumble cut, to divide the tweets and
give themselves over to contented
sucking.
eandy Man ia Fat.
The tov'n'candy store man is fat.
lie doesn't wear, a collar and in warm
weather he doesn't wear a -coat.. His
suspenders seem to have a big job
holding up his ample pants. He
wears glasses with steel rims. I
don't know when he sleeps, for' he
seems to be in the store at all hours
, of the day and night and Sundays.
The window of his store it typical
of the inside of the ttore. It con
taint all sorts of things.
, There are base balls and bats and
shoe ttringt and fish lines, and "bob-
' ben," painted in bright colors, and
boxet of fishing hooks and tops and
boxes of marbles -"commies" and
"agates" beads on a card marked
"5 cents," two trays of gold rings fit
10 cents each, toilet powder, toy pis
tols, leather pocketbooks. memoran
dum booksl boxes of cracker-
-jack, a jar. of unpopped popcorn, cans
jf soap for machinists, toy brooms,
a picture book called "My Very Kirst
Book," postcards, pipes, tobacco.
Latest Popular Songs.
On a string across the window
hang the "latest popular songs"
1 brightly lithographed "Come Along
to Carolina," with a picture of a girl
in a rathe ftut-of-style hat and dress
sitting on the observation platform,
evidently enroute to Carolina; "When
the Southern Moon Is Swinging
Low," and others of the same ilk.
Oh, there's almost nothing that the
! toy'n'candy store man teems to lack.
When he goes behind the counter in
the ttore you can hardly see him for
the cases of candy and chewing gum
and the standing cards filled with
padlocks and corn salve and can
openers that stand on top of. the
.nnntpr and show case.
- And above these a wire runs the
length of the store on which hang
; by clothes pins sheet! of "popular
songs," advertiserpents and pairs of
cotton gloves.
-, The toy'n'candy store man sells
magailnes, papers, cigars and tobac
co. But principally his customers.
ar children. The store is seldom
; without itt juvenile customers. There
' it a mark along the front window
where they have pressed theit noses
- against the glass. '
, It it safe to say that, m the eyes
V of the little customers, the glory of
the toy'n'catdy store man it far be-
( yond the glory of- princes and poten
tates. '

TO' ENLIST IN NAVY
Jesse Mar vis of Belgrade
Throws Scare Into Recruit- ,
ing Officers by Throwing
Explosive on Floor,
"I'm a dynamiter, and I want to
enlist," said Jesse F. Marvis of Bel
grade, Neb., as he walked into the
Omaha navy recruiting station and
dropped a heavy grip into the cor
ner. The room waf cleared in an
instant. After some moments of de
liberation and lot-casting two of the
recruiters approached Marvis and pro
ceeded with the usual queries. "I can't
start work right now,' he added, "be
cause I have a thousand pounds of
dynamite on hand that I have to get
rid of some of it is there in the
Valise." His occupation . is that of
clearing land by blowing up stumps
of trees and blasting clay banks. -
Since April I the army has re
cruited 277 men in Omaha. The full
quota is 744. This means that 467
still are to be enrolled. These fig
ures do not include men enlisted at
the "solicitation of ' Father Mjchael
Bluba, because men are not counted
until they are dispatched for training
at Fort Logan, Colo. '
Recruits to Parade.
Alt the army, navy, marine and
National Guard recruits will parade
Saturday night. Dr. Clark's Tangier
Temple Fife- and Drum corps, the
Christopher Columbus society'! band,
the Pe-stomce band, the Fourth. Regi
ment hand and the High School Cadet
band have all volunteered their serv
ices and it is planned to wind up
the parade at 9 o'clock with a con
cert on the court house lawn. En
sign Rayley of the navy has virtu
ally completed all arrangements to
make this the feature of the campaign
for recruits. Dr. Clark's fife and
drum corps will parade with the re
cruits from all the stations Friday
at noon. Volunteer bands are wanted
at the army headquarter, for service
at nqon hour every day.
Weather Clears and Sun
Shines; Trains on Time
The t weather has cleared out
through the state and over in Iowa'
and again warm sunshine is the rule,
according to the reports of the rail
roads. While some of the roads sustained
considerable damage by flood waters,
only the Wabash is out of commis
sion. The storm damage sustained by
this road will be repaired and regular
service will be resumed tonight. The
Wabash was badly hit in northern
Missouri, where several stretches of
track and a couple of bridges were
washed out. ,
The damage to the Union Pacific's
Lane Cutoff was repaired last night
and one of the tracks is being used.
The other will be in service Friday.
'Trains on most of the roads are run
ning late. The trouble is due to soft
roadbed over the low lends that are
soaked with water.
There-was no rain last night any-1
where in Nebraska, temperatures ol
40 degrees were: recorded, in three
places, svhich is pretty low for June.
But the weather forecast is for warm
er and some good "growing" weather
for the crops is expected. - t
Expensive Suit Starts . .
- Over a Triflina Sum
Suit for the smallest amount ever
asked in the local division of the fed
eral court was filed Thursday, when
tile Omaha railroad sued John Camp
bell of Wynot, Cedar county, Neb.,
tor j.b.
The expense of the United States
deputy marshal in serving notice on
Campbell in the suit was $7.68. The
plaintiff deposited $10 with the clerk
of the court as a preliminary to start
ing tne suit, l nese are but the begin
nings of expenses which will run into
the -hundreds of dollars aside from at
torneys' fees. :
The plaintiff states that it trans-
fiorted a carload of household goods
or the plaintiff r from James, la. to
Obcrt, Neb.1, in March. 1914. and that.
through an error he was"charged only
$47.95 instead of the legal charge of
$51.82, and that he has refused to pay
the difference. ,
The little suit Is filed partly to avoid
possible prosecution for rebating and
partly to serve as an object lesson to
any who seek to avoi'i payment of
freight charges.
Booze and Meat Swell ''
County Hospital Bill
Taxpayers who sat ud and took no
tice when they read in The Bee that
the expenses at the county hospital
for April this year were nearly double
those or the corresponding month in
1916 probably wondered what kind of
meat the patients are eating.
The meat bill for April thit year
after a change in management when
the democrats took control increased
nearly 300 per cent over a vear aso.
nnoiner imcresimg uem was tne
booze bill for April.
In preparation for "the lonir
drought the county hospital laid in a
big supply of whisky, wine and al-
conol.
Records in the office of Countv
Clerk Dewey and County Auditor An
thes show that the April booze bill
was MiM. i
