with a view to pooling Issues and holding
conferences among themselves to see it
they can get to tome basis by which two
wlll withdraw and allow the third to make
the race against Furay. Tha trouble with
this proportion ao far has been that each

the others withdraw In his favor. In the

WHY OMAHA FAILS AT ERIE
City Did Nothing; to Get Convention
of Postmasters.
CHATTANOOGA GETS THE PRIZE
('Main Palmer Telle of Elaborate
Rotertatnment and linn Ilia
llanda Were Tied In Try
Ins for -Merlins;.
"I dislike very much to dispel the dreams
and hopes of Omaha for the national con
vention of postmasters of the first-class
cities of the country for next year." said
Postmaster If. E. Palmer, who has Just
returned from the national convention at
Erie, Pa., "but such WI1K have to be the
case. Mr. Slier of Lincoln and myself did
all we could for Omaha, but we were late
on the field, as Chattanooga had the whole
thing fixed before we reached the Erie.
"Chattanooga had been preparing for
the campaign for months and the Chatta
nooga delegation went there with strong
backing and hosts of printed matter show
ing the attractions about that city and the
mny points of interest, lncluu:j sketches
of Lookout Mountain, the Chlckamauga
battlefield and National cemetery and splen
did views of the city. It Is such things that
take- and Chattanooga played Its cards
well and won hands down. Omaha bad
nothing to offer but an invitation and
nothing more. I believe Omaha received
one vote. Chattanooga got all the rest.
Erl tilvea Good Time.
. "I was strongly impressed with the ex
tensive preparations and elaborate enter
tainment given the' convention by the city
of Erie. I do not -know that I have ever
attended a natlcnal convention where the
preparations were on a more elaborate and
hospitable scale. The badge of the dele
gates to the Convention was the open door
to Erie. The street cars were at our serv
ice gratis and aside from the banquets the
delegates were taken out automoblllng to
all points of Interest about the city, the
leading citizens of Erie tendering their au
tomobiles and drove themselves. tTpon the
presentation of his credentials each dele
gate was elven a special badge Indicating
his city; with Jt were special cards of In
vitation to all the clubs of the city, Includ
ing the Elks, and an urgent request to
avail of every tiospltality of the club. A
politely-worded card from one of the lead
ing business men s clubs suggested that
should the doleprate desire anything at the
club he could have the bill sent to him at
his homo after the close of the convention.
"In brief, nothing was left undone for
the entertainment and accommodation of
the delegates. The cohventlon must have
cost the citizens of Erie several thousand
dollars. Chattanooga promises even a mere
elaborate entertainment next year. So you
see that I waa In a rather delicate position
to make much of a fight for Omaha when
I had no positive assurance the city would
back me In a more strenuous effort to se
cure the convention.
Cannot Account for Report.
"Ido not know how the Information
got out that Omaha' had been selected
for the convention. That Information was
wired here before I reached" Erie.
"I have become strongly Impressed with
one thing and that Is if Omaha ever ex
pects to secure any great conventions It
must enter the field early and expect to
provide a liberal fund for the entertain
ment. It la all folly to say the city will
receive no return from such conventions.
The advertisement of the hospitality of the
city alone la worth all It costs, and no
national convention of any kind ever visits
a city but leaves 1,090 per cent more money
in the city than has been expended ior
the entertainment of the convention."
WOMAN WITH BABE DRUNK

Two men were out. the bases were full,
and the pinch hitter of the team was at

The umpire had called three balls and
two strikes.
The excitement was intense, but too deep
for words, and when the pitcher began to
wind himself up, preparatory to delivering
the ball, the silence waa painful.
It waa broken by a loud, penetrating voice
in the grandstand.
"Ladles and gentlemen." exclaimed the
owner of the voice, "who wants another
bag of this Justly celebrated popcorn?"

Terms to Open Road.
A compromise has been effected between
the Burlington railroad and the county
whereby the county Is granted permission to
open a road near Seymour park, along what
Is known as the Bauman road. For twelve

rapidly and there would be great danger
of accidents. Under the terms of the agree

under the tracks. The railroad company
will pay part of the expense of excava

maintain It. while the county will main

SERIOUS READING FOR MEN
And Trash for Women, la the
serration nt One Public
Library.
Ob.
"Men read better books than women."
Is the opinion of Miss F. R. Petrle, who has
charge of the 50,000 volumes of the West
Side Young Men's Christian association li
brary, which Is used yearly by 40,000 men
readers. "The percentage of fiction read
in this library Is lower than in any public
library.
"The men want books on economics and
sociology, on finance and business, and of
late, owing to the great Interest In pyschol
ogy, William James has been more In de
mand than the latest novel. And this Is
not because we taboo fiction, 1 for we are
very careful to keep on our shelves all the
latest novels worth while.
"Women largely read fiction, aa I know
from my experelence in other libraries fre
quented by own sex.' And many who do
read more serious books do so largely as a
pose; they want to create an effect of be
ing serious minded rather than to gain real
improvement or pursue a line of Investiga
tion. "The men for the most part seem to read
with the definite Idea of bettering;, them
selves, and not a few of them report to me
their success In the way of higher wages
dus to their reading along suggested lines.
"There is great Interest In art and Its
application to many industries. As a
result of work In our art section a clerk
In a dress goods house told me that his
salary had been largely Increased because
it was found that he knew a lot about
textile processes.
"Sometimes the desire of men for knowl
edge Is rather amusing. Some men spend
a great deal of time reading the 'How To'
books. Two or three men have spcrit
hours in reading books on 'How to Suc
ceed.' I always ask them why they don't
get out and hustle, and to some of them
this Is a novel idea.
"Then it appeals to my womanly sense
of honor to find men studying 'How to
Swim, 'How to Walk,' 'How to Jump,'
'How to Be Strong,' when right downstairs
there are swimming pools, running tracks,
an open air field and a gymnasium, all In
charge of experts whose business it Is to
teach these things by actual practice.
The men who do real fiction have very
definite ideas of what they want, and
as a general rule the very elements which
make a novel popular with women wtll
cause men to shun it. In the first place,
men will not read a book which has 'love'
In Its title.
"One man asked me In al) seriousness
for a love story without any girls In it.
The men like men's books. As a general
rule the novel readers among men are

mostly callow youths or older and pros
porous men who have made a success.
The others are too busy reading serious
things to help them In their callings to
give much time to novels.
"The effect of books on men seems more
direct than It does on women. A man
recently got Hopklnson Smith's 'Wood
Fire Stories, and as a reeuut he has
searched all over New York to find a room
with a wood tire whero a little club can
meet. His adventures are very Interest
ing and his report is that there are few
wood fires in New York and none Is for
rent.
"Books on agriculture, home making
fruit raising, stock raising, also are very
popular, as are all books on ramping and
outdoor life. Two of cAir readers as a
result of such reading have purchased
farms Just to get away from the city and
have a chance to llvo in the open. And the
odd thing about it Is that they are making
a success of farming.
"And they keep this serious reading up
all the year round. On the hottest nights
we have had we circulated three copies
of Bryce's 'American Commonwealth.'
Weather seems to have little effect.
Some men want light reading to take
away on a vacation and it is surprising
to find that many college graduates
have never read any standard novels.
And this gives us a chance to Introduce
men who are doing very heavy reading In
their specialties to authors like Eliot and
Thackeray.
"Would you believe It, a man who has .
written two or three successful novels had
never read a line of George Eliot? I saw
that he took two or three ot her books
In his vacation bag, and I think he will
write even better novels next year."
Slept Well In a Cemetery
For three nights, until a policeman dis
turbed his slumbers, William Ellis of Phil
adelphia has lodged in a, cedar coltin box,
which had been placed near an open grave
to receive a corpse for burial. When ho
was brought before Magistrate Rau. Ellis
gave his address as Glenwood cemetery. He
said he had no other place to sleep, and
when he discovered the colfln box it proved
so comfortable and dry during a heavy
rain the first night that he did not desire
anything better.
Policeman Barnes of the Twenty-eighth
district was passing Glenwood cemetery
on his tour of duty and heard the sound
of heavy snoring. The sleeper was un
doubtedly In the cemetery. Making his
way there he discovered the coffin bo,
turned partly on one aide, the lid resting
agulnst It. Ellis was sound asleep within,
and Barnes roused him with a blow from
his club on the thin soles of his shoes.
Ellis was so sleepy that It waa with dif
ficulty he waa walked to the police sta
tion. Philadelphia Record.
