In New York the alarm clock business

Maar Depend oa featral.
WltlJn the last few years more or less
trustworthy alarm clocks have been sold

It Is a simple and surf matter to call up
central after 10 o'clock and tell her to
keep the 'phone ringing from 8:30 a. m.
until you respond. She will do It. and
you are certain to be drawn from between
the covers no matter how chilly the morn
ing. Then, If you have s. generous heart,
you will get the girl s name and address
and some day send her a nice little pres
ent, or an automobile or an order for a
new hat or a bale of flowers. All these
things help.

EX-CONVICT ON A RAMPAGE
Omaha Man Paroled from Penitentiary

WILL RETURN TO THE STATE PRISON
Telephone Message from Warden
Beemer tomes Just at Time
W hen Police Jndae la About
to Release Man.
Frank Betts, an ex-convlct of the Ne
braska penitentiary, broke his parole In
Omaha Thursday afternoon by creating a
scare at Nineteenth street and Capitol ave
nue while on a "cocaine Jag." Betts created
some excitement In that neighborhood by
running up and down the street, brandish
ing a revolver and knife. A hurry call was
sent to the police station and after an ex
citing chase Emergency Officer Pan Bald
win brought the frenxled man to bay.
When arraigned In police court Friday
morning Betts was fined $10 and costs and
was about to be released, after paying his
fine, when a telephone message was re
ceived from Warden Beemer of the state
penitentiary saying that Betts had broken
his parole granted four months ago an.l
asking that the prisoner be held for an
ofheer. who would be in Fild.iy evening.
The conduct of Betts Friday afternoon
will mean. that he will have to serve two
and a half years In the state penitentiary,
which part of his sentence was allowed
when he was paroled four months ago.
Betts was sentenced from Fremont, where
he was convicted of forgery and horse
stealing. He was caught In Iowa with the
stolen rig with an Omaha girl by the name
of I.lpn, returned to Fremont and tried on
the two charges.

In police court Friday morning he said
he had used cocaine Thursday after having

According to the evidence of Officer
Baldwin In police court Friday morning
Uetts created quite a scare In the neigh
borhood of the high school Thursday after
noon. All of a doxen persons telephoned
the police station that a crazy man was
running wild In that vicinity and Imme
diate help was asked for. Officer Baldwin
was detailed and he proved equal to the
task. He chased Betts for half a mile,
the fugitive running with a revolver In
one hamf and a knife In the other. At
Twentieth and Douglas streets Betts stum
bled and at that moment Balwln was on
him and pinioned his arms. At police
headquarters Betts gave four strong po
licemen a hard tussle before the handcuffs
were removed.

LAWYER SORE AT WITNESS
Cunningham B. Scott is Trimmed to a
Standstill in County Court.
WOMAN ON THE STAND WAS VERY CLEVER
Irascible Attorney Ran Against Femi
nine Finesse and Innocence to
the Point of Paying; Oppo
nent sv Compliment.
A case Involving possession of a garden
lot In Murphy's addition to Omaha has oc
cupied the attention of Judge Vlnsonhaler
for two morning sessions of the county
court. The title of the case Is Joseph H.
Had k lnson against E. L. Burrls. Mr. Had
klnson was accompanied to court by his
wife, who was the responsible manager of
the place In question during her husband's
absence. Burrls was supported by Mrs.
Burrls and four children, ranging In age
from 6 years to a baby In arms. The law
yers In the case were J. Q. Burgner for
plaintiff and Cunningham R. Scott for de
fendant.
Mr. Hadkinson's examination passed oft
without much sign of war. though Attorney
Scott did exhibit considerable fierceness at
times. It was when Mrs. Hadklnson came
to the stand that Cunningham R. Bcott
was brought to make the admission, "You
ought not to be managing a garden patch;
you ought to be a lawyer, ' the last part of
the sentence with a floodtlde Inflection.
Woman Worries Him.
Mrs. Hadklnson, comely, calm and caus
tic, gave the Irascible old lawyer as bad a
half hour or so as any legal light ever got.
When he tried to put affirmative questions
to her, Mrs. Hadklnson rode him down the
line In a way that made every Individual
hair on his head to stand up like the quills
upon the fretful porcupine. And Mr. Scott's
gorge rose and he gave evidence that the
woman's way was not for him- at all a
prlnirc.se pith.
Scott la gray and quite spunky. The wit
ness was superior to his tactics and side
tracked him while she demolished his ques
tions in the Innocent but aggravating way
that female witnesses have. Even Judge
Vlnsonhaler, while admonishing her to be
specific In her answers, slid one hand over
the lower part of his face to sustain the
frontal dignity of the court. And opposite
Scott sat the dark, smooth and slightly
deaf Mr. Burgner. In protecting his wit
ness he add,ed a few lines to the gayety
of the legal soiree, almost unintentionally.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Hadklnson
testimony there was not a genial spot In
Lawyer Scott's makeup, while the woman
was still smiling and unafraid. The court
found that owing to a defect In the Infor
mation the ease should be dismissed; but
It will have another day In court.
