'--m 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.

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.
