HOW LIBRARIANS ArTfOOLED
One Young; Woman Mistakes Pie
Maker for Master
of Art.
"Oh, yes, we librarians grow to be fairly
good Judges of human nature," said one of
the young women In the Omaha Public
library, "but we do occasionally get de
ceived." "What kind of people deceive you most?"
asked an anxious Inquirer.
"Long-haired men," she replied. "Only
last week one of the long-haired species
strolled In and It was some time before I
could determine In my own mind whether
he was a musician, urtlst, author or sculp
tor. He had a vacant and far-away look
In his liquid orbs and I thought he must
surely, be an artist, so I approached him
and asked If he would like to see some
work on art. I pronounced art like heart
and that seemed to grate on his nerves,
but he gave me a real soulful look which
seemed to say, 'Ah. you recognize genius
Intuitively.' He told me he had been look
ing for a certain oopy of the famous pic
ture of Washington Crossing the Delaware,
but had not been able to find Just what ho
wanted. I scrambled up and down the
shelves for three d'tys In an effort to sat
isfy him and must have submitted twenty
live copies in all to his inspection. Finally
he found one that nleased him and arranged
to take It home for a few days. When he
brought It back he handed me a parcel,
saying It was a present for me.
"Is It one of your own works?" I asked.
"Yes. lady, I niakka inysolf."
He darted out and was gone before I
could And words to thank him. I hurried
to the window to take one lingering look
at him and I beheld him climbing Into a
covered pie wagon and on the canvass
cover to the wagon was a crude copy of
Washington Crossing the Delaware, in his
hand he held aloft a pie as though it were
the most precious thing on the boat and in
big letters was written 'Tony's Pies.' My
decent from the sublime to the ridiculous
was rapid, but I had a mighty good pie for
supper."

RAIN BOON INSTEAD OF BANE
J. IMuvlos Helps Connty Commission
ers Open Cut-Off Ditch on
Elkhorn Hlver,
Instead of tearing up roads and bridges
and proving himself generally a nuisance
to public work, Jufclter Pluviua has for once
demonstrated he Is as true a friend of the
taxpayer us the most active candidate for
otljce could ever claim to be before election.
The strenuous rain god has assisted the
county commissioners to open a cut-off
ditch on the Klkhorn river, a work the
commissioners have been trying to accom
plish for almost a year and by doing so
has saved the Klk City bridge across the
river from serious injury. The commis
sioners have been considering putting In
from Tkiou to -wo worth of rlprapping to
protect the east approach of the bridge,
which will now be unnecessary.
Last fall the commissioners found the
Klkhom was eating under the east ab
roach to the big bridge across the river
near Elk City. The only feasible method
of stopping It was either to straighten the
channel by running a cut-off ditch between
the ends of a large horseshoe In the river
nnd direct the channel under the center of
the bridge or to put In rlprapping which
would be expensive to construct and to
maintain. They decided on the ditch and
cut it through the Powers farm Thu wilnpl
refused to flow through the ditch, how
ever, and still kept the old channel. They
had about decided the rlprapping would
have to be resorted to when the recent
heavy rains raised the river and caused It
to cut through the ditchi A sand bar is
forming across the bed of the river and they
look for no further trouble as the current
ts rasslng directly under the center of the
bridge. Mr. Powers has filed a claim for
with the commissioners for damages
basd on the fact the ditch would not work
and now the commissioners are thinking of
putting In a claim against him for the value
of about twenty-five acres of land he will
gi t when the liver bed dries up.
The heavy rains have done no materia!
damage to tho roads and brldgV.

should be immediately arrested. An officer

Female body In charge of coroner at

This telegram, signed by A. G. E. Ker

2-ISi Manderson street, Friday morning. It
was the first decisive and final news to
confirm the fears that Mr. and Mrs. Win
slow, 2434 Manderson street, had been
drowned In the wreck of the Columbia In
Shelter Cove off the Mendocino coast of
California last Saturday night.
Mr. Edwards, husband of Jessie F. Ed
wards, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Winslow, left on the Burlington at 8:5o
a. m. for Eureka to bring home the body
of Mrs. Winslow and hoping to be able to
recover that of Mr. Winslow, If indeed he
too hud been lost, and there Is little
ground for hoping now thut he was saved.
Mr. Edwards first wired the Eureka
coroner to prepare Mrs. Wlnslow's body
for Its return and await his arrival.
While, of course, there Is a degree of
satisfaction in the fact the body of one
dear one has been recovered, the family
In Omana Is overwhelmed with grief at Its
Ifreat affliction. The most earnest hope
la entertained that Mr. Wlnslow's body
may be found so that it may be brought
home with that of his wife.
Mrs. Winslow was about 30 years of age
She and her husband were In the west
on a pleasure trip. Their names were in
the first list published of those believed
to have been lost on the fated steamer
and from Monday morning when thu
original news cume the family had
been hoping against hope to hear that Mr.
and Mrs. Winslow were safe.

UNCLE BILLY ON FIRING LI NE J
Omnlia'a First White getller Telia I
How He Fought In Mexi
can War.
"t-'nele Billy" Suowden, Omaha's first
white settler, is now living at the Midland
hotel. There he smokes contentedly all
day and fights all his battles of the thre?
wars over again. No, It Is really only
two wars, the Mexican and the civil.
"I'ncle Billy" tried to enlist in the Spanish
American war, but a prejudiced army reg
ulation regarding age prevented him. He
was 73 years old.
"My colonel in the Mexican war was one
of the finest soldiers that ever lived," said
"Uncle Rilly." "1 marched with him from
Fort Leavenworth out to Santa Fe and
went through the whole war. We didn't
fight many battles, but when we did we
licked the Spaniards to a standHtlll. They I
always ran as soon as we charged them.
Christmas day, ldlfl, we had a little fight
just after we had marched across a desert
for a duy. We had SitO men and the Span
lards had 1.3,10, but we sent them running
In short order. Then at Sacramento creek
S-0 of us beat 4.4uO Spaniards, und them in
breastworks. That was on February 2S,
147. We ran them away from their cannon
first wiU our six pieces of artillery and
then we went up the hill on the gallop.
When we got close we formed In single file
and counted by tens. Every tenth man had
to stay behind with his horse and nlno
others. The rest of us chorgod the Span
iards afoot in the breastworks." W sent
them skedaddling down the hill Into the
creek and there we pumped the lead Into
them from our little old Missouri short
rifles. It took us old Missouriuns to do thu
fighting."
"Uncle Billy" Is still enjoying the host
of health, lie has his own Ideas: nheit
taking care of himself ami his ago lions
testimony that he knows what he is about.
He Jias o,ulle a grudge attalnst the National
Soldiers' homo at Leavenworth, whnro he
stayed a year.
"They dosed me with medicine there
seven times a day whether I needed It or
not," he says. "When they get a mail In
bed there he generally doesn't leave It ex
cept feet lirst.
"I smoke almost all the time, but I don't
care much for drink. When I was In the
homo I Juft went to the canteen twice.
Twenty cents was all they got out of me.
Out at the hospital I could have beer or
anything I wanted, but I just told them
If they hadn't buttermilk they needn't I rln-?
anything. I go out to this snloon anoin t
the corner here once In a while. When
they heard my crutches coming they al
ways used to have a glaFH of whisky
pound out and Insisted that I should drink
It, but I told them not to do it any more.
They're all awfully good to me; I guess It's
because I was the first settler In Omaha.
They always hand out some 'seears,' too."

KniSTME
o OF MALARIA.
When the germs of Malaria get into the blood they destroy the rich,
nutritive qualities of this vital fluid and reduce it to such a weak, watery
condition that it Is unable to furnish the system with the nourishment and
strength necessary to keep it robust and healthy. The complexion grows
pale and sallow, the appetite fails, digestion is deranged, a bilious condition
of the svstera is set up. and often chills and fever make life miserable for the
person in whose blood this insidious poison has taken root. There is but one
way to rid the system of Malaria and that is to purify the blood of the germs
of the disease, and S. S. S. is the remedy to accomplish this. It goes down
into the circulation, destroys the germs, purilks and strengthens the weak,
watery blood, making it a rich health-giving and liealtb-sustnining stream,
and makes a lasting cure of Malaria. Malarial persons will find h. S. b. not
only a prompt remedy but a pleasant acting one, as well as certain cure for
this debililitating disease. Besides removing the cause of Malaria 8. S. S.
builds up every part of the system by its fine tonic effects. Book on the Mood
