confident It will he passed, however,
if not by a wide margin.
Tomorrow will see tlie house put

The gasoline tax bill is expected to

more probably Tuesday, ahead of the

How Jim Silenced (lie (iimipy Con
jectures of Sam Ticer.
T hurried out to the barn in search
of Jim. There was no sign of him
outside, and I had Just reached the
door when the sound of Sam Tlcer's
drawling voice uttering I.llllnn's
name halted me, There is no in
clinatlon to eavesdropping In my
makeup, but I knew that It be
hooved me to know what my worthy
but gossipy neighbor was saying
about my friend.
'TIow do we know what that Mis'
Underwood is up to?" Sam was de
claiming, taking no pains to modu
late his voice. “Mis’ Graham, now,
site’s till right, but too sweet and
trustin’"—I permitted myself a grim
at Sam’s characterization of me—■
"and she thinks the sun, moon and
stars get up and do a little dance
whenever Mis’ Underwood waves a
wand. So whatever Mis’ Underwood
tells her Is all right with her. 1
think she’d go right, over and jump
into Peeonlc bay. if Mis’ Underwood
told her to. whether she could swim
a stroke or not. But that Mis’ Under
wood is a foxy piece If T ever seen
one,"—vast experience Invested
Sam’s tones.
“I Know Hie Breed.”
”Tt don’t look right to me. hrtngin’
a woman that’s about dead Into Ihe
house with a satchel chained to her
wrist, and brlngin* that Mis’ Blckett
along, too. A trained nurse:" Sam’s
voice betrayed the inveterate distrust
with which a certain type of country
man regards nurses and hospitals.
“I know that breed! You couldn’t get
me into a hospital with a pair of
mules and a derrick. But T can tell
you, there’s crooked work goin’ on
somewhere, and it’s up to you, Jim.
to pose around and find out what It
is. You're right on the ground, so to
speak, you’ve got the opportunity,
and it's your dooty to the commu
nity. that's what it is.”
"You mean it's my dooty to your
curiosity, Sam," Jim returned with
the slow, bellbernte utterance which
Is always his. "You hain’t believin’
half what you are savin’. Kf I
thought you did It would lie mV dooty
to bust your head open with the han
dle of this pitchfork. Nobody kin use
the word ‘crooked’ about the Gra
hams or any of their friends when
I’m around. So I'm lookin' for you to
take It hark."
There was a significant pause, and
T wished l rould see the faces of the
two men.
"Aw! Jim. Paw didn't mean nuth
in'." Jerry put it pacifically. "He's
always——"
"You shut your mouth," Sam Ticer
said, but there was no anger In his
voice, only the bluster of the man
who on principle always squelches
any independent observation upon
the rart of his offspring. "I kin
tend t° my own affairs yit awhile, T
guess. What's eatin’ you, Jim, any
way? Didn't T expressly say that Mis'
Graham was all right. I'd fight any
man for the Grahams jest as quick
as you would."
“But you wouldn’t tic up that loose
tongue of youra for ’em." Jim re
torted. "And that's likely to do ’em
more harm than you could fight back
In a month of Sundays. And besides
you’re shootin’ off your mouth about
Mis’ Underwood and Mis’ Bb-kett
when you know two finer women
never stepped in shoe leather. Then
too, they 're the best friends Mis’ Gra
ham has on earth, they**have been
for years. D'ye mean to tell me Mis'
Graham would have ’em for friends
if they was mixed up In anything
crooked?"
"Sho! .Jim." Sam’s voice was pla
cating. “There haln't no use of your
gettin' all het up like this. I didn't
mean no harm, but can't you see for
yourself that this brlngin’ home an
unconscious woman with a satchel
chained to her arm, somebody no
liody’s ever Been before, is mighty
fishy? Don't you think so, now, hon
est?"
“I.ike a Frog in a Puddle.'’
"I haln't paid to tTdnk about things
that haln't none of my business,”
Jim retorted. “And if I did, I’d say to
myself that because we hadn't seen
the woman before was no sign Mis'
Graham and the rest didn't know all
about her. You're talking like a frog
in n puddle, Sam, thinkin' It's the
ocean. There’s things goin' on in the
world outside this neighborhood, you
know.”
"You bet there Is," Sam retorted
with dignity. "That’s just my p'int.
Now'-’’
"I don't care what your p’int Is,"
Jim interrupted, "just so you don't
go around statin' it promiscuous
where it’ll do a lot of harm. Kf I
was you I wouldn’t say nothin’ about
this queer visitor to nobody outside."
"D'ye think T wuz goin’ to?" Sam
demanded virtuously'. "I guess I
know which side my bread is but
tered. But T don't see the harm of
talking to you about it."
"Wei! there's just one thing,” Jim
said decidedly. "Outside the family
there's only your family and me that
knows about this. I haln't goin’ to
say' nothin' and your wife’s a mighty'
close-mouthed woman. So if I hear
about this visitor outside I’ll know
it's you or Jerry- that's spilled it, and
I'll know what to do.”

Trial of Stokes
Expected to End
Early This Week
Defense Is Encouraged by
Judge's Declaration That
Reversal Is Probable, May
Curtail Its Vi itnesses.
By I HI verbal Service.
Chicago, March 8.—The Stokes con
spiracy trial will eml this week, per
haps Tuesday. _
Encouraged by the declaration of
Judge William X". Gemmlll In court
Friday that the state's tactics have
assured reversal of any verdict con
victlng W. E. P. Stokes, 73-year-old
millionaire, of conspiracy to defame
his wife, Helen Ellwood Stokes, the
defense had about decided at a con
ference today not to put any more
witnesses on tho stand In his behalf.
Robert F. I,ee, negro defendant on
trial with Stokes, will he his own wit
ness and his testimony, It was Bald,
will he a flat denial that any of his
investigations in behalf of Stokes cul
minated in a frameup of evidence
derogatory to Mrs. Stokes.
Filial Stale Attempt.
Although Judge C.emnnll last week
refused to free Fee on the grounds
that there was not sufficient evidence
lo hold him, I,ee has been advised by
his attorneys to stake ills liberty on
his own testimony and let the ex
pected acquittal of Stokes operate In
his behalf, too.
The state will make a desperate
eleventh-hour effort to obtain a rnn
vietion of both through Its closing
arguments, hoping the Jury will be
convinced despite the court's state-,
rnent that reversible error had crept
into tho record and Stokes’ own ve
hement denials that he ever pave pub
licity to charges against his wife, al
though believing them himself.
Defense Secs Victory.
The defense, It was said, does not
plan at this time to do more than
make a routine statement Hi the con
clusion of the introduction of evi
dence, feeling that its case has been
won already.
There was a possibility that, follow
ing the conclusion of Stokes' cross
examingtion, the defense would put
on a. few wi! nesses to testify to
things concerning Mrs. Stokes that
will back up the millionaire’s claim
that he had ample evidence to justify
an investigation of every angle of his
wife's past.
This would depend, it was said,
upon what the state developed in Its
questioning of Stokes tomorrow.

Turney, 51, suffered an attack of gall
stone trouble hero yesterday and was
hurried to a hospital In Grand Island
where he died on the operating table.
He was liorn In Ohio and came to this
community nearly 40 years ago. He

and one son, F. Victor Turney of
Omaha,
You will probably have little, if anything, to say about it.
Your widow will have to face this problem alone. Many un
dertakers, realizing this opportune time for profit, employ
“sob salesmen” whose business it is to play upon the emotions
of bereaved widows in order to make a “fat” sale.
We do not use salesmanship in any form in our organization.
Our display rooms are so arranged that the lower priced mer
chandise is displayed in one room, moderate priced mer
chandise in another room, the higher priced merchandise in
still another room . . . permitting you to select unhampered,
and without direct comparison, the price you want to pay.
This is Stack's Policy—n fearless and independent stand to
give humanity a square deal. It’s the most liberal, common
sense policy of funeral pricing ever introduced anywhere,
and you, too, will appreciate it ... it has built Omaha’s
finest mortuary.
