Equaled.
Two of the moat conspicuous steamships
tflnat, each representing a different flag
nd a different type, are to mak their ap- t
pearance In New York harbor. Ono, the '
turbine driven Punarder, Lusttanla, and
which few day ago revealed the possi
bilities which lie In the turbine engine by
maintaining throughout a 1,200-knot run a
peed of 25 knot in hour, Is soon to
begin It maiden trip to New York, and
may then, perchance, bring the transatlantic
record for the first time within five days.
The other vessel which is dividing Inter
est with the Cunard flyer la already on
its maiden trip across, and which reached
port on Tuesday. Thla Is the Kron
prlnsessln Ceotlie, a much-heralded Ger
man racer which, according to Its North
German Lloyd owners, represents the very
latest word In marine construction that Is,
the last that Is known to the shipyards of
the Fatherland. The Kronzprinxesstn Com-
pletes the quartet of which the Kaiser
Wlllielm der Grosse. brought out In HOT,
was the first unit. Since then the German
builders, "creeping on with each new -rig,
less weight 'and greater power," evolved
the speedy Kronprlni Wilhelm of the same
type, next constructed the greater and
Taster Kaiser Wilhelm II, and has enow sent
afloat a vessel which Is claimed to le
burerlor to them all.
But since the Lusltanla's recent marvel
ous exploit at fast going, it is not claimed
that the German vessel will be able to
compete with Ita British rival In the wayistead of th" Ion tables formerly In use,
of speed. The most that the German com
pany expects of Its new steamship Is that
It may show the same relative Increase In
speed that the Kronprlni Wilhelm showed
over the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, a
speed which was In turn outdone by the
line's latest output, the Kaiser Wilhelm II.
That vessel has averaged Z3'fe knots for an
entire voyage. It is believed that the
Kronprlnsessln will be able to exceed that
peed, and the builders will be satisfied if
It does It, even though It does It by a small
margin.
The following table shows the year of
construction ' of these four vessels and
their dimensions:

For a long time It was believed that the i
Cltiman company, which was known to !
be closely watching the outcome of the
efforts of the Cunard line to bring out
a successful turbine ateamshln. would ,
have followed the lead of the Cunard I
when the success of that type had been '
demontsruted by the exhaustive tests ,
which this most conservative of all com- 1
pauiea noa neia Deiore commuting ltsell
to a contract to build. It was therefore
much of a surprise to the marine world
when, after a log period of reticence on
the subject, the Germany company ultl
mately announced its decision to equip Its
new vessel with quadruple expansion en-
Biuca vi inn smile lypo as muse installed
In the Kaiser Wilhelm II, and other ves
sels of the same class, and not with the
newer type of turbine, as many had be
lieved It would.
What Tarblne Wheeler Caa Do.
It la now shown beyond further German
doubt what the turbine Is capable of. The
Lusltanla on its trial trip maintained an
average of twenty-five and one-fourth
knots throughout the long run and during ,
one hour reached the phenomenal speej of j
twenty-eight knots. Us sister, the Mauri-j
tanla, has not yet been tried out over the ;
oniciai race course, out. irom me viewpoint i
of the Scientific American "it Is no exag
geration to state that these new liners
mark the most Important advance In size
and speed which has ever been made in the
history of steam navigation always ex
cepting, of course, Brunei's giant ship, the
Great Eastern. With all due deference to
the Lucanla and Campania and the splen
did hlps of the German companies, the
Lusltanla and Mauritania may be said to
be In a class by themselves. With an In-
dlcated horsepower which will probably
work out at 80,000, with a displacement of
45.000 tons and a pTobable speed ultimately
of twenty-five and one-half knots, these
vessels, in comparison with the finest of
the express steamers are found to- be I
about 60 per cent larger, two knots faster I
an of double the horsepower of their
nearest competitor The great breadth of i
the Llisitanla, eighty-eight 'feet, has en-
bled the company to provide state rooms
of 60 per cent more capacity man those
found on existing steamships. The prom-
enadea also are wider and longer, and
these facts, coupled with the absenoe of
vibration, will do much to Increase the
comfort of transatlantic travel."

STORY TELLING AS AN ASSET
bur Essential Qualities Necessary to
Insure Success.
BREVITY, WIT, MIMICRY, CLEAN
Raroatears Are Born, Kdaratlon anil
Prarllce Gives the Polish
Some of the Bores I.laten
ers Us Against.
Robert E. Lee of St Louis, proclaimed
by the Ad Men's league to be the best
story teller at the west end of the Eads
bridge, discusses the art of story telling
In the Globe-Democrat In these words:
People who are story tellers know that
great many reputations for erudition
for oratorical ability and for greatness
have been, made by well-told stories,
rather than the erudition, oratorical abl!
Ity or the greatness of the story teller.
In other words, the story teller Is a good
bluffer, as the term is used in the great
national card ' tamo. Yet It cannot be
gainsaid that all of our really great men
In the political arena have been clever
story tellers, and that their reputation
has been magnified and accentuated by
their cleverness as raconteurs,
Thus. George G. Vest, senator from
Missouri, was a fine story teller, though
he Indulged but seldom. Clay told stories
to Illustrate every point. Daniel Web
ster's stories were droll and effective,
No greater story teller has been known
than Abraham Lincoln. In each of these
cases we remember the men all the more
fondly because of the stories they have
told and which are handed down to us in
print.
"But these were men In the public eyo
who were expected to be clever, and who
were clever because they could not help
themselves. There Is a great army of
good story tellers In the United States
whose names are never quoted In the pub
lie prints, and a still greater army of
abominable story tellers, whose names
linuld never be In print, unless in the
death notice column. In the good story
armv there are more members whose
ability as story tellers counts as a con
siderable asset which they turtn into
money, not directly In cash, but In or
ders, Induced by the good humor and ap'
ppeclatlon Induced in prospective custom
ers by good stories well told-
Essential Qualifications.
"Rtnrv telllne- Is an art. that is cultl
vatable, but not In a man who is not
natural story teller. Raconteurs are born
Just as artists and writers. They develop
with education and practice, Just as do
artfsts and writers. One of the Important
essential qualifications for a story teller
Is a Veen ariDreciatlon of wit. Another
Is a still keener appreciation of brevity.
A third Is a talent for mimicry, in which
is included tongue gllbneBS In imitating
dialects such as broken German, the Irish
brogue, the drawl of the Swede and the
nasal Intonation of the Frenchman and
the odd dialect of the Hebrew,
"SDeaklns- of ' Hebrews, I have found
them to be among the best of story tell
ers. They seem to delight in telling
stories on men and women of their own
religion, and are not easily offended by
Hebrew stories told .by others.
"The Irishman la usually a good story
teller because his wit is keen and he is
a good listener and an appreciative one
for stories told by others.
"Contrary to the general belief, the Ger
man is frequently a good story teller, but
If he has been born In Deutschland he Is
handicapped, as the Irishman la not, by
a lack of knowledge of the 'wit lines' of
English. It you will let him tell Ms
stories In German, , they are said to be
very funny.
"There will frequently be seen in the
dally, press articles about traveling men
which purport to prove that the old-time
traveling salesman who told stories to
his customers Is extinct, and that his
passing has not been mourned by either was one used at' Glenahlry Lodge for keep

a salesman came in, and his greeting
would invariably be: 'Hello, Jim, by

"Btory telling. It It Is to be used as a
business asset, must be carefully done.
The' story teller should never be a bore,
yet he can easily become so. I have known
men who had gained some reputation as
humorists by a few well-told storjes who
ever thereafter assiduously sought oppor
tunities to tell stories. They stop men on
the corner, In the hotel lobby, at the club,
on the train, even at a funeral at which
they are .friends and not mourners, to

point, and half tle storle. that are told
by would-be wit. have none, or the point
. wuu'u Jt '
is so obscure that it would not .cratch
the skin of a month-old babe.
"Stories that fre grossly unclean and
Immoral are an abomination In the land,
and their tellers do themselves hurt and
lose themselves friends. There Is so much
clean wit extant that an unclean story Is
unnecessary. A clean story can be told
by the most dignified man. An unclean
story mark. lt. teller a. gross and coarse,
and he drops down the scale with his
hearers every time he tells one.
A Hard Task.
Telltng .torie. to women is a hard task.
There l an old .aw from the German that
a Joke I. a Joke until you tell It to a
woman.' That is unfair to women, because
some or tnem can ana ao appreciate gooa
funny stories, but many of them are not
quick In their appreciation. Before I knew
this, I undertook to tell a lot of tne best
storle. I knew to a mixed assemblage of
men and women. The men laughed a. I
expected, and so did most of the women.
l but lt was painful -to hear them turn to
r their escorts a. toon a. they could cease
laughing to ask: 'What was the point of
that story? I don't catch it.'
"And yet, on other occasions, I have told
stories to gatherings of ladles who were
genuinely appreciative and much amused
thereat. No story excites tha risibilities of
a woman as much a. one ef a man who 1.
in a funny predicament because Intoxi
cated, or of a man's terrible trials In try
ing to look afier a baby. Those things
come home to them.
"There Is no meaner man In the world
than the fellow who drags a acmlprof.
lonal story teller to one side after the
tory n4 has Just amused, a crowd for
half an hour to tell him a lot of point
less or vicious stories. He usually pushaa
le etorv teller Into a corner, from which
he cannot escape, and starts off Ulte thla:
Say, old man, I've got a couple of darned
good stories that you ought to hear. I
guess you never did, because "they are
new to me. I can't tell them like you
could, but you enn dress them up anl
get a crowd crasy with them.' And then
he takes half an hour to tell two or three
of the oldest and most threadbare and
most pointless stories that were ever told
to mortal ears. For him the fool kiilor
Is waiting and may he get him!
Borea In the Business.
"Stories, well told, sell goods, win cases
In court, adorn sermons and amuse con
ventions, but they must be well told. All
verbiage and all Introduction should oe
avoided. The story must be boiled down,
and then boiled again to its pith only.
1 he good story teller usually starts off
with 'That reminds me,' or 'Here Is a
pretty good one.' The poor story teller
can always be told before he tells a sin
gle complete story by his introductions.
They aro usually like this:
' 'say, fellows! I heard a good one the
other day. A friend of mine from Kan
sas City told It to me. Fay, ho Is the
funniest cuss you ever heard. He could
keep a crowd laughing half a day. I
don't know if you fellows cvpt heard this
one, but It hit me so hard 1 thought I
would die. Honest, I laughed for an
hour. I can t tell It very well. I can't
Imitate the Irish like he could. Now, if
any of you ever heard it, stop me.'
"And by the time he gets thus far In
his Introduction the crowd has dwindled
to two or three fellows, who could not
get away because they were cornered or
because they were personal Jrlends, wno
dared not offend by leaving the cJrcum
locutory gentleman before the end of the
story. And, usually, the story Is worse
than the Introduction, either because of
fllthlncss or polntedness.
"The way to tell a story is to tell It
without frills and to tell it with exacti
tude of imitation in dialect and manner.
The man who has the ability to do this
possesses genius, and such a man can
get closer to people with whom he does
business in a day than a serious-minded
man can in a year, and when he gets thus
close and . when he comes to knbw that
one story, and a good one, is better than
two, he has a buBihess asset that is of
Importance and value, beeauBC it helps
to sell goods, it helps to gain concessions,
and it helps to popularize a man and a
man's business.
Business men will forget thb name
and business of a man who is always
sober and dry, but they never forget tho
fellow who has amused them with a story
that was good and new and well told,
nor do they forget the line of goods nor
the house that he represented.
"Four word's will sum up to the em
bryo story teller what he must always
bear in mind. They are brevity, wit,
mimicry, cleanliness."
BOGUS INJURIES INDUSTRY
How Some Irish Outrages Are Made
to Order by Clever
Persons. 1
DUBLIN, Oct. 6.-(Special.)-A few weeks
ago I indicated that there was strong sus
picion that Lord Ashtown knew more about
the recent "bomb explosion" at Glenahlry
Lodge, Cpunty Wattrford, than he was
willing to tell and events have now borne
cut this suspicion. It will be remembered
that a home-made bomb consisting of an
iron pot was exploded pn a window sill
under Lord Ashtown's bedroom one night.
Lord Ashton professed to recognise the
pot aa of a type in common use in Galway,
where he has had trouble with the tenants
on his estates, and the explosion was
heralded far and wide as another "Irish
outrage." .,
A different light Is cast on tbe situation
by the report of the district inspector of
police, who Is certainly not hostile to Lord
Ashtown. He' has discovered that the pot
I wnlch tne bomD was placed was open so I

MEWS OF THE BUSY HOME BUILDERS
SITES FOR HOMES IN DEMAND
Real Estate Men Report Increase in
Local Inquiry.
FURNISHING A HOME IMPORTANT
Matter of Taste aa Well as Detail
Itlaraftneil by a Bealdent from
m Practical Point of
View,
I
, Real estate men report an Increased
activity In' the sale of residence lots In the
city and In the outlaying and suburban
districts. The sale of this class of property
had dropped off conBlderably from that of
midsummer. This Is explained by the fact
that many people were out of the city at
that time and reserved the work of choosing
the site for a home until they should, re
turn. Now they re back and have pur
chased. -Another reason for the present activity
Is the fact that property Is rising and peo
ples fear they will have to pay a substanti
ally, higher price for property If they wait
until spring than If they buy it now. This
Is a logical view of the situation for the
trend of deslrsble residence properties hns
been upward together with other property
In Omaha for several years, and It Is ,
foregone conclusion that these propertits
will advance materially before spring.
"The matter of furnishing a home Is
one of the most Important In making It
comfortable," said a man who owns a beau
tiful residence In the southwest part of the
city. "The frail, delicate furniture of the
French Is entirely out of place In moet
American homes, particularly In those of a
solid build. A good piece of honest wood
lqoks handsome to our American eyes if it
is put into a chair with Its sides straight
and I's pretty gra!n vi'lble. A piece of wood
twisted, distorted and turned all out of Its
true shape on a lathe Is offensive to my
eye and to most eyes.
"However, we are more or less creatures
of habit, and the fact that a piece of 'fur
niture is Louis Qulnze makes It desirable
In the eyes of some people from that very
fact. They forget the harmony In other
words. They place a piece of furniture of
this delicate type in a raftered room built
in the style of our colonial ancestors or in
a den built after the style of the pioneers of
this western country.
Furniture should harmonize with the sur
roundings In which it Is placed. Delicate
furniture. If one must have It, should be
placed in a room delicately shaded and
Boftened with draperies, pictures and soft
lights. Furniture of the kind which Is
typical of the present age here in strenuous
America should be placed In a sturdy built
room."
Furnaces are to be installed by the John
Hussle Hardware company for the new
building of H. B. Larson at Fortieth and
California, and' for Mr. Elton at 4204 Doug
las street.
A scarcity of desirable residence property
for renting purposes Indicates the increas
ing population of the city. Though hun
dreds of houses and scores of apartments
have been erected during the last summer,
there has been but little relief in the situa
tion of the home maker. To judge by pres
ent Indications next summer .will have to
see more homes built than the last sum
mer to keep up with the Increase of the
city's population.,' t
'v j -
A home builder on the north Bide has
equipped his front porch with an arrange
ment whereby lie can screen It In each
summer with aa little trouble as he has
in putting the screens on his windows. He
has built screen frames of such height aa
