No question'* foolish if it leads
To knowledge that another needs.
—Peter Rabbit.
How Mrs. Hummer Shingles Her
Home
You know how curious Peter Rab
bit is. He la never satisfied until he
ha^ found okt all about a thing, or at
least until he has found out as much
as he can. Mrs. Hummer had aroused
Peter's curlousity when she told him
that she was looking for cobwebs for
her nest. Peter couldn’t understand
how any bird could possibly use cob
webs in building a nest. He waited
and watched for Mrs. Hummer to
come back so that he might ask her
more questions. But she didn’t come
back. Then he spied Jenny Wren.
“Oh, Jennj’! Jenny Wren!” Peter
called.
“Well, well, well, what is it Peter?”
demanded Jenny, impatiently.
"Mrs. Hummer the Hummingbird
said she was looking for cobwebs
and wanted to know if I had seen
any." said Peter.
“Tut, tut, tut, tut! What of ft?”
cried Jenny Wren.
“What did she want of them?” ask
ed Peter.
To use In shingling her house, I
suppose." fine oped Jenny Wren,
"Now, have you any more foolish
questions, Peter Rabbit?”
My questions are not foolish,”
retorted Peter, indigantly. “What do
you mean when you say that Mrs.
Hummer probably wanted those webs
to use in shingling her home? How
dos» she shingle a home?”
Jenny Wren jerked her tall and
cocked her head on one side as she
looked down at Peter.
“What an astonishing thing it is
how little some folks know,” said she
apparently to no one in particular.
"And how astonishing It Is how
hard some folks have to work to get
a little honest information,” said
I’eipr, apparently to no one in par
ticular.
Jenny Wren twittered.
“Just for that, Peter Rabbit, 1
guess I’ll have to tell you," said she.
"Have you even seen Mrs. Hummer's
nest?”
“No," replied Peter, I haven't."
“Then you've missed something,"
replied Jenny Wren. “Her nest Is
covered all over on the outside with
liny bits of lichen, just as Fanner
Krow'n's house 1* shingled. She shin
gles her home with those tiny bits of
green and gray lichens.” •

"\*ell, well, well! What is il, Pei

Peter scratched a long ear with a
tony hind foot.
I—1—I guess I don’t know what
Uchena are," he confessed.
"Tut, tut, tut, tut. tut,!" cried
Jenny Wren. "The Idea, when you
sea them every day of your life!
Look at the trunk of that old tree
over there. Look at that old atone.
Von aee that gray and green atuff
growing on them that looks some
thing like moss?"
Peter nodded.
“Well, those are lichens." said
Jenny. "Those ate what Mrs. Hum
mer uses.”
"Hut what have cobweb* got to do
with them?" demanded Peter.
"Why she uses the cobwebs to
fasten them to her nest, stupid,”
snapped Jenny. "When that nest Is
finished it. looks for all the world like
nothing more than a lichen-covered
knot of the tree. Well, I can't stop
gossiping here any longer." Away
Jenny flew before Peter could ask
another question.

Lineup of MeAdoo
With Rail Heads
Is Reported Here
Reported Californian Has
Leaped Hurdle Between
Him and Big
Executives.
was formerly associated, Mr. Payne
also handled a great deal of business
for (he Standard Oil company and
the Rockefeller interests, who have
almost as extensive railroad holdings
as they have oil holdings.
Judge Lovett is a democrat, Carl
Gray is a democrat, and John Barton
Payne is a democrat.
What About Labor?
A prominent railroad official in
Omaha, who refused for obvious rea
sons to be quoted, gave it as his opin.
ion that MeAdoo would be nominated
in New York and that the vice presi
dent would come from the east, the
selection going to some one like
Homer S. Cummings, naionai commit
tee man from Connecticut, and form
er chairman of the democratic na
tional committee.
If this reported lineup with the
railroads correct it raises almost as
big a question for the election cam
paign, as it answers for the nomina
tion campaign.
What will railroad labor say? Rail
road labor is for MeAdoo because of
what they feel is his opposition to
the railroad managers.
This new story of the lineup is
of course the MeAdoo side. Those Ne
braska democrats who, In their secret
hearts, have a desire to promote A1
Smith, however, or at any rate to de
feat MeAdoo, have a different story.
Ralston and Bryan
They may not have any great hopes
of nominating Smith, but they do hope
to use Smith as a point around which
to rally the antl-McAdoo strength,
and then, if they cannot make Smith,
at least make somebody who will be
acceptable to Brennan, Taggart and
the Tiger. Their best bet in this con
nection is William J. Bryan, who Is
Instructed for MeAdoo, hut who Is
believed to be vastly more interested
next to his own fortunes, in the can
didacy of Brother Charley. Of course
Mr. Bryan is not for Smith, but he
could even find some plausible ex
cuse for supporting Smith if Smith Is
nominated, provided Brother Charley
was the nominee for vice president.
If MeAdoo should be nominated, then
It would be bad politics to nominate
another western man for vice presi
dent, and that would put Brother
Charley out of the running.
The whole scheme of the anti-Mc
Adoo crowd Is to beat MeAdoo, and
then frame up some sort of combina
tion that would give the old guard
control of things and at the same
time hold W. .1. Bryan in line.
"And what could tie better calcu
lated to do that very thing than to
nominate Ralston of Indiana and
Bryan of Nebraska?" queried an
avowed anli-McAdoo democratic war
horse of Nebraska.
Delegates Leave Today
That looks like ihe combination
that is being worked on right now.
It would satisfy ail of the old gliard
except vfammany, and Tammany is
easily placated by an Ironclad pledge
to give the Tiger plenty of rich food.
Ralston would be mighty acceptable
to Brennan and Taggart, and he
would be the deciding factor In Im
pelling the Nebraskan-Klorldan in
throwing the weight of his powerful
influence to the democratic ticket.
The platform, of course, will be the
usual mass of platitudes and sonor
ous phrases that may mean anything
or nothing.
The Nebraska democratic special is
slated to leave Omaha over the Bur
lington at fi:30 this evening. It is
not, strictly speaking, a special, but
tlie (rain will carry an extra diner,
an exlra smoker and three drawing
room sleepers to accommodate th^
Nebraskans. The train will arrive at
Chicago nl 7:50 Saturday morning and
leave at 3:30 over the Pennsylvania
f«>r New York. No special rate was
made to New York, hut the tourists
\. ill avail themselves of a rate to
Atlantic City, paying regular fare
\
from Philadelphia to New York. The
coat for the round trip. Omaha to
New York, Including sleeper and extra
fares, will be $132.24, At 6. p. m.
Thursday all the lower bertha on the
three Bleepers had been taken, but
there were plenty of uppers available.
Personnel of Party
Tom Allen of Lincoln, chairman of
the democratic state committee, and
Mrs. Allen, and Dr. Jennie Callfas of
Omaha. national eommittcewonian
I from Nebraska, went on ahead of the
delegation, leaving Wednesday night.
R. L. Hardman of Omaha also went
on ahead. And of course, there Is

man.

democratic special are Dr. 11. II.

Missive Threatens Abduction
of Son of Irvin H. Hartman.
Jr.,.Millionaire Furni

Chicago, June 19.— Police guards
were removed today from the home
of Irvin H. Hartman, millionaire fur
niture dealer, who yesterday received
a special delivery letter demanding
$10,000 under threat of kidnaping and
injury to death of his son, Irvin, jr.,
10 years old.
The letter, apparently written by
an uneducated person, was signed
“the Big Ten" and was character
ized by Chief of Detectives Michael
Hughes as the work of “some fool."
By International Mm Service.
Chicago. June 19.—All available
Chicago police today were at work
attempting to trace a $10,000 ransom
letter, which threatened the kidnap
ing of Irvin M. Hartman, jr., 10, ton
of a millionaire Chicago furniture
dealer.
The leittr. believed inspired by the
kidnaping and slaying of Robert
Franks, 13, was received a few min
utes before a telephone call to the
Hartman home advised the father
that further information as to where
to leave the money would be given
him lal«r. A man who refused to re
veal his identity did the talking.
Thought Fanatics Work.
Police working on the case were in
clined to believe the letter the work
of a fanatic. Inspired by the tremend
ous publicity given the Franks case.
However, a special police guard was
thrown around the Hartman home.
At headquarters, the text of the
note woe kept a secret and detectives
dismissed inquiries with "details will
be given later."
That Irvin If. Hartman, Jr., was a
witness in the famous I.oeh-Deopold
kidnaping case was discovered today
after talking with officials of the
locaT Hartman Furniture store, of
which Mr. Hartman is the owner.
The trouble and anxiety connected
with that case has upset the family
considerably, according to reports te
ceived here.
Drives Family Away.
“Mrs. Hartman will want to leave
for California now for sure," said
one of the memterg of the local firm,
after being informed of the plot to
kidnap the boy.
Mr. Hartman was in Omaha two
months ago, while on a tour inspect
ing his stores in cities all over the
country. There are three children in
the family.

This Is Not a Slogan—
ITS A FACT!
“We don’t like your slogan.
It’s too long,” wrote a firm of
eastern advertising experts re
cently.
“It’s not a slogan but a fact—a
statement of truth,” was the
quick reply.
Omaha with its strategical loca
tion in the heart of the great
agricultural region; with its
progressive citizens; its great
railroads and industries; its fine
parks and boulevards, is a great
place in which to live.
By repetition of this phrase we
hope to instill iiflhe minds of
our own home folks this true
statement of fact so that they
will be “sold” on the idea and,
in turn, sell the strangers who
might be amongst us.
i
Omaha has many other advan
tages why it is a great place in
which to live. Among them is
the extremely low power and
light rates — practically the
lowest in America.
