Protect Your
Home With a
Telephone
A Bell Telephone af
fords protection and se
curity by permitting calls
to or from your home at
all times.
And, too, a telephone
means home-comfort and
convenience in reaching
local stores and shops, and
in calling friends, as well
as permitting long dis
tance talks nearly every
where. Why not secure your
home protection, comfort
and convenience by NOW
ordering a telephone installed?
NEBRASKA TELEPHONE
COMPANY
The city pumping station has become
a regulnr rooming house for the profes
sional "Weary Willies" that arrive in
the city on nearly every freight. En
gineer Rogers reports that there are
twelve to twenty roomers every night
and men of all descriptions (undesir
able) are to be sen there.
The 'bos begin to arrive every even
ing at about 10 o'clock and all are
good sleepers and seem to have no
trouble occuping their minds that would
interfere with the most peaceful re
pose. The first hour or more they
spend exchanging confidences and past
experiences and most of them ask no
more of humanity than enough to eat
and a place to sleep and clothes enough
to combat the ice gnomes. All seem
perfectly satisfied with their mode of
living and apparently crave nothing
better.
Only one of th number that has ac
cepted of the hospitality of the pump
ing station up to date was other than
the regular class. He was a Hebrew
and seemed to feel confident that his
brethorn in faith would tide him over
any extreme difficulty that would ariso
during his pilgrimage. He alone
seemed to be not entirely satisfied.
The proprietors of this rooming houso
are roluctant about turning tho men
out as there is no other place in tho
city where they can got shelter from
the elements, and they all seem to be
peaceful and "law abiding" specimens
of depraved humanity. Each also has
an interesting tale to tell and they all
tako turns entertaining the proprie
tors of the station and the members of
their own lodge.

Howdy Do, Mr. Goozce.
Editor of The Tribune:
In tho issue of your paper of Tuesday
I chanced to run across, I saw the
epistle of Mr. Goozeo to the people of
our thriving city protesting against the
city council in any way or by an hocus
pocuB from monkeying with Pat Loner
gan's pictuie play houso. Ho says
people come a long way ito seo it. 1
heard a fellow say he came all tho
way down from Hershey all alono to
seu it. I see by tho papers that the
Union Pacific is to carry a mail car on
the deluxe train No. 1. Let our com
mercial club get busy and show the
Union Pacific the throng that comes
to see the picture show nnd I heliovo
.1. .. ...ill nlun .... n Dnnnilll int f H
tlfCJT Will UIOU l.UliJ tl l-llttl .U1 -U4 i
picture show patrons on the deluxe
train.
When the building that houses the
plumbing shop back of The Pat waB
built Mr. Goozce did tne work himself
and when that front was put in front
of The Pat that brawny son of Uncle
Sam with tho good old yankee name did
it himself. If these gentlemen want to
increase the population of tho city they
should hire a curpentcr to do carpenter
work and thus increase the population
by one. Every little bit added to what
you got just makes a little bit more. I
think the picture shows should run on
Sundays providing Pat will run his Pat
early Sunday morning while Father Mc
Daid is saying early morning mass.
Yours Truly, W. A. Hanchett.
