KROPP, Implement Dealer NEBRASKA The Omaha News recently had a very interesting article concerning Joseph Travis, a former well known Plattsmouth, young man. who made his home here with Attorney A. K. Tidd for a number of years and whore life story j-eems little short of marve lous, but demonstrates what is possi ble when the mind is set upon attain ing its goal. The article in the News is as follows: "Joseph Travis, night secretary of the Y. M. C. A. never completed the fejurth grade in school. Yet. at the age of :3. he has read and memorized more real literature than the average man does in a life time. He discusses Jack London and Aris totle in the same breath. He com pares Homer with Ella Wheeler Wil cox. He quotes at will from Virgil. Victor Hugo, Browning, Bacon, and Shaw, with quaint original comments. He memorizes any passage which in terests him. poetry or prose, in six readings. He is equally conversant with history, science, art, and politi cal economy. University professors have talked with Joseph Travis and marveled. They would Have marveled the more had they known the complete story of his unusually picturesque life. Born in the grime and the smoke of the lower east side of New York city, Joe Travis scrambled up through babyhood, a street gamin. He "rustled" papers, and scoured the alleys for bottles and old rags to sell for his scanty meals. At intervals, he attended school sufficiently long to complete the third grade. There his formal education ended, and the thousands of tabulated facts h? now has at his tongue's tip were self acquired. But such a school of experience as he attended! "Hitting the trail" at 14. he saw all of the United. States. Canada and Mexico via the "blind baggage" and boxcar mode of trans portation. Many a night he rode the quaking rods cf a freight train with a scarred volume of some old phil osopher hugged to his brreast. Bor rowing books at a public library in some town along his route, he read them in transit, and turned them in at the next public library. From Calgary to Mexico City, from New York to San Diego he traveled, and. with his phenomenal memory, he reta'ned the facts whir; hhe learn ed with remarkable clearness. What are ft Is favorite books? "Folks would think I was crazy if I told you just what I think is tbe most interesting reading," said Mr. Travis. "What I really like best is 'The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius.' And I like next lest 'The Golden Sands of Epictitus." But for people who do not enjoy the old philosophers, he has selected six books which he thinks everybody should read to obtain a sound philo sophy of life and an understanding of human nature. They are "Les Miserables." by Huero; "Qui Vadis," by Seinkiewicz; "The Other Wise Man." by Van Dyke; "The Promised Land," by Mary Antin; "How the Other Half Lives," by Jacob Riis. and "The Honorable Peter Stirling," by Ford. "I Just wish I could get every body to read those books," he said earnestly. "Of course, reading's my hobbv", he added. "They say 'everybody rides a hobby!' I'm afraid my hobby rides me, because I just can't let books alone." PASSES BUCK TO VOTERS OF STATE House Orders Referendum, on Sol diers' Bonus Bill Vote on Question in 1922. Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Smith of this city have two small bull dogs that they have made great pets of and which accompany them almost every place they go and in the past their playful antics have greatly amused this worthy couple but they are "off" the dogs for life, and all be cause of an incident that occurred yesterday noon at the oflice of the Cass County Monument Works of which Mr. Smith is the owner. Mr. Smith and his wife had gone home to lunch and left the two pets in the office until their return and inci dently Mrs. Smith left her Easter lumnet lying on one of the stones in the center of the pile reposed the home with her and thereby hangs the tale. On their return Mr. and Mrs. Smith discovered the rugs all scattered around the office floor and in the center of th epile reposed the cne time glorious Easter hat. but now a mere mass of ruins. One of the dogs had chewed up the artificial flowers that had served as ornaments while the other had taken the straw bonnet and reduced it to ruins. The dogs will be kept far away from the hats in the future. Concrete Buria! Vaults! We are making the best burial vault possible to produce.

Wright of Bartlett, la., and Miss Elizabeth Mary Tritsch of Thurman. Iowa. The young peo ple were married Thursday after noon at the Presbyterian manse in Nebraska City by Dr. L. R. Patton. The bride Is a daughter of Mr: and Mrs. Philip Tritsch. formerly a resi dent of this- county. The voters of Nebraska at the general election in 1922, will have an opportunity to decide whether they wish to pay a bonus of 10 mil lion dollars to the soldiers, sailors and nurses who served in the world war. That is, if the senate follows the lead of the bouse. The matter came up yesterday morning on H. R. 52, by Sturdevant, providing for a bonus of $15 for each month served and requiring the an nual levying of a tax of one million dollars for ten years to pay it. The benefits are to go to every sailor, soldier, mariner er nurse or soldier's widow who was a resident of the state at the time they were commis sioned, enlisted, inducted into ser vice, appointed or mustered in. Each must have an honorable discharge. The bill appoints the state audi tor, treasurer and adjutant general as the board to pass on all applica tons for bonus. Not less than $50 will be paid in each care. After Sturdevant had secured unanimous consent to take up the bill ahead of the Friday morning special order, he made an eloquent speech in support of it. Mears moved ast an amendment that the matter of a bonus be re ferred to the people for approval or rejection. Others seconded the mo tion on the ground that the people have been objecting loudly about increasing taxes and that this would place the responsibility for the ten million carried by the bill upon the voters themselves. Members of the house who had served in the war said they were in an embarrassing situation and would have to vote against the bill if put up in its original form, but that they could support the referen dum. Rodman and Snow claimed the Legion members of the house were not playing fair with their colleagues, because when the house passed the bill a few days asro that provided for loans to soldiers who needed help, the members said they would vote against any other apprei priation. On roll call the members, with the exception of Griswold, passed. - The bill, with the Mears referen dum amendment passing the buck to the peeiple , was recommended for passage by a vote of 57 to 31. The Evangelical Lutheran church southeast of town has had a pipe organ expert from Omaha here the past ten days and had him clean j and tune the organ. The organ was j formerly placed in the balcony in the ; rear of the church, but by a vote) of the church it was decided to move it down stairs and place it on the west side of the altar, which is a more sightly position and gives out greater volume of sound. The pipe organ cost originally $1,500 and was installed after the splendid church was built about fif teen years ago. Frederick Stohl man, son of Mrs. Louise Stohlman, is organist at present and previous to his playing. Miss Gertrude Ilart man played the organ for several years. The congregation and mem bers are justly proud of their fine organ and church. Louisville Courier.
