Helpmeet.
lie Is n lnr man Us who Is the principal
chuiai trr In this story, anil wlu-n he called
u member of The liee eiaff it. ski u with a
mtcilou look on his fure the iiewKpupt,r
man expected that, bu wit a going (u be
handed a story. And the story at mo, but
not lust the kind tlmt was untMputed.
The bl( man, after aome purturbatlon, not
out tlin Biniouiuement that he wanted to
get married wants to set married, rather,
for bu la atlll of the same mind. He really
blushed u he confided to his friend tho
desire of till heart; blunhed Just like a
Kweet bud la auld to do when her first
tuvaller Jooaena hla heartstrings In re
sMua tn the urging of love.
The recipient of the' ambitious man's
ronftdenre felt flattered that anyone should
hnve thought so highly of him as to make
htm a confidant In such a weighty matter.
"Hully for you," he said, while he sparred
for aome time to say something worthy
the occasion. "I did. that myself once."
':t know you ild." said the la,rge pr
aon who lucks a mute, "and 1 allowed you
could help me."
"Why. sure, I can tell you Just how a
man should approp.oh the girl and what
will make a hit with her. My wife made
me nn expert in the matter."
"No. no; I don't mean thnr. Ybu see''
"Oh, you want me to . pout you up on
thj etiquette of the moment when the
spot Ugh; gets you In the church, eh?
That's easy. Just lose the notion that you
cut any figure ut all, because you don't.
Like the flowers and the ribbons, you're
merely am-jug the trimmings of the oc
casion. The bride carries the lead part,
and her maid takes precedence over you.
Just so you don't forget the ring you won't
attract much attention." .
"That's what I want to say. I haven't
got her and I want her." '
"Who la she? Does she know you want
her?"
"1 don't know; I haven't seen her yet.';
"Well, how do you expect to marry her,
then?"
"I want you to help me get her. You're
a newspnper men und I know vou can help
me If you will. You see. I'm not ac
ounl.nted here and T don't have ' much
chance to get acquainted with nice girls,
and I'm sort o- 'frald of them anyway. I
thought you might know a way for me to
find out a nice girl. I have a good po
sition, but I get lonesome and I want to
settle down."
How to' Gft n Wife.
When the purson addressed .had taken In
the full significance of what hla friend wa
asking he was tempted to bolt; but the
lonesome chap looked to be In such deadly
earnest that to doubt him would have
been cruel. Remembering a favorite motto
of his old college friend, John Wanamaker,
he said, "Advertise." That wan the only:
thing he could think of that would meet
the .Jmmediate requirements of the case.
The would-be Benedict agreed. He very
likely would have agreed to any scheme
proposed Just then.
And thla explains why one advertisement
for a wife -will appear In The Sunday Bee.
The daring man who thus seeks a life part
ner did not specify whether she should be
maid or widow. He la not experienced
enough to know Just which would be best
for him to sign with. She need not be
very young, either, for It need not be kept
secret that the man who Is going to waste
(the word Is spelled right) Is no longer
under age. He is country raised, not half
bad looking, willing as a machine and
thinks Omaha Is a good place to live with
a wife.

SHORT WEIGHT IS BUTTER
Packages Sold in Omaha Do Not Weigh
the Full Found.
ELLICK PROMISES TO PROSECUTE SOMEONE
Creamery and Uroeery Men to Be
Held Responsible for the Dis
crepancy Inder (he Short
Weight Knactnieut.
The city legal department haa discovered
that from one and one-half to half an
ounce of butter less than a pound Is miss
In from the packages containing the
choicest and most expensive creamery
products on the local markets. Under, the
direction of Second Assistant Attorney El
lick, Claim Agent Cockrell haa been cir
culating among grocery stores for several
daya buying varloua brands of butter. The
packages were taken to the city hall,
opened and the butter weighed, found
short of a pound, although no weight
whatever was claimed on the wrapping.
"Just the same, when the consumer calls
for a pound of a certain kind of butter
he receives or.a of these short-weight
packages," says Mr. Elllck. Now. this Is
wrong under the law, and If the grocer
bought the package fur a pound of butter
the creameries are responsible. Several
complaints of this kind have been made
lately and we have had to investigate the
matter. At the present price of butter the
consumer loses from 1 to i cents on every
package he buys. The laws covering short
Weights and measures will enable us to
prosecute not only the grocers, but the
creameries as well, und this Is what will
bu done if a pound of butter is not sold
for a pound."
Pay for the Wrappers.
"There Is no Intention to deceive the pub
lic," said a man identified with one of the
largest local creameries. "We don't pre
tend to pur a pound of butter in the pack
age. We simply represent that the fin
ished product, package and all, weighs, ap
proximately, one pound, the Idea being
that inusmuch as the wrappings are com
paratively expensive, the buyer should pay
for them, us they Insure the condition of
the butter and against substitution. It Is
simply a question of paying for the package
instead of the butter. The product of all
creameries la alike In this respect.
"As a matter of fact. I think the present
agitation has been kicked up by one of the
competing creameries that haa had hard
work trying to displace the better known
and advertised brands of bufter."
Incidentally, If patrons of the street rail
way company should notice an elderly gen
tleman In the cars with his pockets stuffed
with butter, his hat lined with butter and
his arms full of butter. It Is not foJr for
them to presume that he la crasy, for It Is
merely Claim Agent Cockrell gathering
evidence to prove short-weight butter.

WASTING AWAY
It's the small but constant
loss of flesh that indicates
physical waste the gradual
slipping away of healthy flesh,
pound by pound, which no
ordinary food seems to re
store. Scott's Emulsion will
restore it. This Emulsion is
the greatest flesh builder ob
tainable. Scott's Emulsion
first stops the wasting that's
one gain. Then when it sup
plies new flesh and takes one
back to normal strength and
weight, that's another gain
and a big one.

Mmb Straightened and
Sent to Jail for
His Daya.
The charity organisations and city police
are making a strong, combined effort to
rid the eltv of fake crlnnles. One such, a
man calling himself Frank Smith, received
his deserts Friday morning when sentenced
in police court to six days In jail.
Smith was brought in by Special Officer
Morris of the charity organization. He
had been found begging from the guests In
the Millard hotel, exhibiting a twisted arm
In his sleeve He also ahowed a letter
signed with the name of Dr. E. C. Henry,
stating that the bearer had once undergone
an operation for gall atones. Mr. Morris
took possession of the letter nnd took
Smith to the station. There his crooked
arm straightened out in a wonderfully
short time and ha became a whole man.
Mr. Morris Bays that Dr. Henry was In
duced by the man's importunities to sign
the paper, that Smith came to him so many
times that he gave him his name to obtain
relief.
