What a snap for Fan-Handle Pet.
Tbla la bread day at the pure food ahow
In the Auditorium. When Manager Glllan
arrived on the scene this morning It looked
aa though there had been a landslide from
the aide of a mountain of bread somewhere.
The bread had tumbled Into tho big build
ing In a volume that was almost over
whelming. Carpenters were hurrldly se
cured and bins, shelves 'and tables were
constructed to contain the loaves.
It was a sight to make any man proud of
the housewives of Omaha. Most of the
loaves came from Omaha. South Omaha
and Council Bluffs kitchens, though about
half a dosen were sent In by express from
different towns through the state.
There were loaves of all shapes, from the
round loaf shaped like a aectlon of water
main to the tall, stately loaf which rose
abova Its fellows like a' tower. Some were
shaped with a flat bottom and gracefully
arched top. 'Others were square. Some had
a plain unpretentious top while others had
been wrought Into most wonderfullly fan
tastic shapes and designs. Some were spilt
open on one side; some had evidently over
flowed the top of the pan In a mighty
effort to win the prixe or perish In the at
tempt. They ranged In size from little
modest loaves which seemed to say:, "We
rely on our Intrinsic merit. ' Good things
come In amal packages. Tou big slobs
think you are going to get the prixe just
because of your overgrown size." Others
were of Immense proportions weighing five
or clx pounds.
Three Womei aa' Judges.
Mrs. Harriet 8. MacMurphy, Mrs. Mary
A. Pugh and Mies' Florence Heller were
the official judges. There are two prizes
of (50 esch and one of $2 offered by' the
Allen Bros, company and the Updike Mill
ing company.
"The brownest, sweetest, lightest, nutti
est and best baked takes the prize," ' said
Mrs. Pugh, who is an expert In the bread
baking art. "I do not uso the word 'nutti
est' In a slang sense, either. Flour of the
proper quality made from the proper kind
of wheat has a slightly nutty taste."
Th judges begun their work early. There
wero more than 1.000 loavea. The work
of selecting three from this great num
ber was not aruall. They separated them
first roughly, the sheep from the goats,
as it were. The lightness of the loaf
could be determined by feeling and lifting.
The evenness of baking could o deter
mined by sight. Only about 100 loaves
survived this examination. Then the
knivea were brought and the work of tast
ing" the other loaves began. The judges
had saved their appetites for this test of
seeing which - loaf combined In the best
(manner, the remaining cardinal virtues of
nuttiest, sweetness and best-bakedness.
The bread will be distributed to the
various charitable Institutions, the Sal
vation Army,' Volunteers, Child Saving In
stitute, . Creche. City Mission, Visiting
Nurses and others.

"There Is going to be a universal war, a
war to the bitter death, a war in which
every people will be engnged from the
tropics to the edge of the frigid zone, a war
In which there will be no quarter given,
a war In which no International rules will
be observed, a war In which poison will be
used as well as bullets and swords."
Thus poke J. 8. Parker of Syracuse, N.
T., at the Pavton hotel. And having mado
this dire prediction, 'the prophet of horror
panned and looked around at his audience.
"How about Tho Hague, peace confer
ence?" ventured someone.
Mr. Parker smiled scornfully, hopelessly.
"The Hague peace conference will change
Its point of view," he said. "I venture to
predict that the conference will even ap
prove of the war. Andrew Carnegie will
bo among the most ardent supporters of
the universal massacre. I can even Imag
ine him diverting his flood of gold from
the libraries and offering prizes to the per
son whd shall make the greatest slaughter
or giving a bounty for bloody heads
brought Into the camp." ,
"This man speaks treason against our
mighty and well beloved laird of Sklbo,"
ejaculated one of the bystanders.
"To any nothing of lesc majeste," added
a man who was proud of his small stock of
French. ...
Thla la No Fake War.
Mr. Parker smiled , once more . and
glanced about from one to the other of
his auditors,- who looked at him In turn
with varying emotion. One man even
ventured to Inquire anxiously hpw he had
"managed to evade Ills keeper." ,
"I mean Just what I say," continued the
man" from Syracuse. "This war Is coming
and It is coming soon. The slaughter will
be such as to put the death roll of the
civil war or of the Franco-Prussian con
flict in the Infant class. Millions will be
slaughtered every month."
"O, that's all nonsense," said one of the
auditors. (
"Why, that would depopulate the world.
In a few years," said another.
"No sane man would venture such an as
sertion, said a third with a meaning ac
cent on "sane."
Mr. Parker smiled for the third time.
"Now, my friends, , I will explain," lie
said. "This war is going to occur. It is
going to be a universal war and the slaugh
ter is going to be great, as I have said.
But it is going to be a war, not between
human beings but against rats, 'Death to
the rodents!' Is to be the battle cry." They
are to be slaughtered everywhere, all the
time, by every means. A concerted effort
of this kind will clear the world of the rat
family in a few years.
slaughter la Copenhagen.
"This movement has already been started.
A friend who visited me recently from Co
penhagen told me of; tho experimental
'maneuvers' in a rat killing war which had
been tried there. In eighteen weeks they
killed 103,000 rats in that city of half a
million people. The cost of the war was
about $3,600 or about three cents per head.
If you will figure up the amount of prop
erty each rat destroys every month of the
year I think you will And It la considerably
In excess of that figure. Why, It means
millions of dollars saved by this world
every yea-- if we exterminate the rodent
family. . '
"The movement was started by Zuschlag.

there is a society organised with the
i avowed purpose of inaugurating and prose
cuting this' war. It Is 'L'Assoclatlon Inter
nationale pour la Destruction Ratlonelle
des Rats.' The war will spread to all the
other countries of the world and the result
will be grand."
"What do they do with the bodies," asked
someone.
"They are cremated," aald Mr. Parker.
"Well. I have an idea that will make the
war self supporting," continued the anxious
innnlree. !
"What is your suggestion?" asked Mr.
Parker. '
"Well, why not dry the bodies of the rata
and ship them, to China. They are con

A hurry-up call wus turned In to the
police station Friday morning. A woman
at the other end of the 'wire said In ex
cited tones that three burglars had Just
gained entrance to her neighbor's house at
2827 Cass street. Three extra officers were
put into the patrol wagon and the horses
lashed all the way at break-nock speed.
Arriving at the number the officers,
headed by Patrol Conductor Andy Fahay,
ran to the back end of the house. There
they found the cellar door open. I'ahay
started to lead the way down, but It sud
denly dawned on him that In his haste he
had left his six-shooter at the station and
was not armed except for u pair of hand
ruffs he carried. It was suggested that he
throw the handcuffs down In the cellar and
call to the burglar to put them on and sur
render, but the suggestion was not well
taken and seemed to arouse all of the offl-

Wr's bravery, and. down he went with only
the handcuffs with which to make, perhaps,
tho fight of his life. The other officers fol
lower and a reporter stood outside to see
that no otherburglars got In while the offi
cers were busy down In the cellar.
From the cellar the officers went to the
kitchen, then upstairs, then returned to
the kitchen, where they stopped and were
holding a conference when suddenly and
Without a moment's warning, the back door
opened. Driver Murphy grabbed for his
gun and Conductor Fahay, In the excite
ment of the moment, dropped his handcuffs
nd demanded of a feminine form that
stood in the doorway, "Who are you?"
Only tho Lady of the Hoaeo.
"Please don't shoot." ' came the faint
response, "I'm only Mrs. Mather. I live
here and have Just been over to the neigh
bor's to get a quart of milk. Mercy, good
ness, what's It all about?"
With these words she let the quart of
milk fall to the floor and she herself sank
half fainting Into a chair. By this time
the yard was full of curious neighbors and
one of them, a woman, was kind enough
to step Into the kitchen and straighten out
the tangle- to the sstlsfactlon of alt con
cerned. She had seen two men prowling around
her house next door and their actions
looked suspicious to her. Finally they went
over to the neighbor's. s.nd as she saw that
neighbor In question, go for the milk, and
as the men completely disappeared from
her view shortly after, she thought they
must have got Into the house and tele
phoned the police to that effect. She said
Ht the nreaent moment the men were
standing out in the front yard.
When questioned the two men showed
a card containing the address of that house
and It developed the woman's husband
had sent them there to look at the house
with a view to renting It. There being no
number on the house they were in doubt
and admitted they did stand outside and
look at several houses. Mrs. Mather said
she had been expecting them, aa her hus
band had telephoned ber they were coming.
The crowd dispersed, the patrol wagon
returned to the station, the men went In
and looked at the house and the good
woman who had telephoned the police
went home and resumed her housework In
a spirit of meekness.
Hut guess what the policemen did?
