"Tin- brick

just 8t the present time on
account of the enr shortage In Kansas, "
aid a representative of Hip C. H. Mavni
company. "There Id, however, n goodly
mipply on liaml In the city, so that the
curtailment of the Incoming mipply Is doiim
no harm, particularly as this is not the
time of the year when many me used.
Omaha manufacturer make about half
the bricks consumed in the city. On ac
count of the use of cement, cement blocks,
hollow terra cotta material and oilier" sub
stitutes for brick, the use of this has not
Increased much in the last few years. The
C. B. Havens company bus the contract to
furnish the brick fur the new Fairbnnks
Morsn structure. The brick will be tho
Jtoone (la.) black faced type, the same as
re In the two new Nash buildings."
"I have just designed u house fur a man
attached to which there Is an Interesting
n ml unique thin:," said an Omaha archi
tect. "This marvel In nothing more or
less than a garden. Tim say that Is not
imiue. Tint ll is In Omaha. I do not
know of another Harden of this type at
tached to any bouse In the city, it is a
aort of outdoor living room, provided with
flowers, shrubs, trees Htid pathways. It
in enclosed by walls on tup of which will
bo strewn' broken bottles and other things
In discourage Intruders.
"Why are there not mure uf these gar
dens attached to American houses. Many
peoples in all age's have rejoiced 111 them.
Tho hanging gardens of the great city of
Uabylon were among the. wonders of tho
earth. ' Solomon Invites the north wind
to blow upon his garden filled with spiken
ard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,
tlio trees of frankincense, myrrh and
aloes. Th Italians. Spaniards, Germans,
French and Kngllsh delight In their gar
dens und woeJd be lust without them.
They are private and yet they are open to
the fresh air and the sunlight. There
one can be alone communing with nature.
There ho can do healthful work if he so
desires, and dig and prune and pluck
flowers. There is no better place for
upending quiet hours of contemplation.
"Of course, here people might think at
first that a man was too exclusive If he
built a high wall around his garden and
put broken glass along the top of it, But
people would soon grow used to that when
f tho gardens became more common.
"In Kngland tho householder gets up and
takes his early morning stroll before his
breakfast In the privacy of his garden. He
does not need to dress for tho street, and
yet ho enjoys the invigorating effects of the
walk and the air and tho early sunshine.
T ..e garden which I have planned for this
Omaha house will not be expensive, but
v will be extremely cosy. There Is to be a
nice little htgoon, with a fountain playing
In the middle and fish in the water. On
each side of this is a broad seat. At the
end nearest the house there is a little
brick floored porch. This porch is roofed
over with only a trelllswork, over which
It Is designed to train vines. On the porch
will be tables of wlckerware, with chairs
of the same. Tho owner expects to have
his breakfast served here during the sum
mer, und us much of the spring and fall as
are not too severe.
"The man who Is building the house lias
never lived In Kngland, but has traveled
there long enough to see the beauties of
the garden. He. feels that he is satisfying
a need and not supplying a luxury In his
garden."
A "sun room" Is a somewhut unique ad
dition to a house which Ib being made by a
man in the west part of the city. This
Is a room on the south tide of the house,
where the householder and other members
of bis family may sit or lie, ond, like the
philosopher, Diogenes, enjoy the warmth
of the sun. Tho entire south exposure is
of glass, letting In a flood of sunlight.
Tho floor Is of hard won, with rugs. The
furniture Ib all wlckerwork. with cushions.
Over the. windows and set close to the
glass are curtains of sheer muslin. There
Is a broad window seat by the window,
where a person can lie down in the full
Blare of .the siui. In winter time this room
Is made comfortable In the middle of the
day with no other heat than that supplied
by the rays of the sun. Even on dark
und gloomy days It is a pleasant place to
sit, being lighter than any other part of
tho house.
Builders and contractors in Omnha and
Kg environs have an undiminished force of
men at work on their houses, in spite of
the money flurry, which has abridged ill" j
activities of some lines of business.
"I don't believe the home builders will I
earn at a liljle tiling like this." said a j
leading contractor. "They are mostly wise
business people who have shown their good j
sense by saving inomvy and building. They
know the country Is too rich and loo pros

By Kat Greanlaaf Iiocka.
To those who are Interested in the making
nml beautifying of the home it Is Import
ant to note the progressive changes which
lii'.v -eurreil in garden making within
the lest f'-iv years. I'ntil nsently he
card' n was considered an unimportant ac
c'ikoi.v of tin house and the Idea of cm
ploying an architect to design and inrunge
the laying out of the ground surrounding a
house of modi late con was so unusual ns
to excite comimnt and sometimes amuse
ment. That at Hie present time, however, this
idea has become an accepted fact by the
majority Is proven by the number of mod
est bouses which show a complete and
charactt l ist ic scheme in both house and
garden and which evidence the hand of
the archil ect throughout the completed
whole.
Tl hns been discovered, for example, Hint
a small house of brown shingle looks well
with a porch of dark red brick and that
when the brickwork Is carried out In a low
bit of wall extending from tie house Into
the garden the apparent sire and the, archi
tectural dignity of the hoe.se Itself Is In
creased. A building which Is itself insignificant
may be rendered distinctly attractive by
the addition of garden ' architecture.
Whether this architecture assumes tho
character of latticed summer bouses and
arbored walks, of brick terrace and garden
walls, with perhaps the Introduction of a
gate, or Iron grilling, of Italian pergolas,
with pillars of woofl or plaster, and a balus
trade depends upon the style und cost of
the house.
Undoubtedly this discovery lias been

TOM NOT DODGING. SAYS JIM
Tuaanrt la ,,t Sidestepping; Ilryan,
luoth lnor Dahlmnn, Dis
playing Telegram,
Mayor Dahlman, who after two days of
slight illness has returned to his desk,
takes little stock In the published report
that Tom Taggart, chairman of the demo
cratic national committee, is trying to
escapo a meeting with I3ryan at French
Uck Springs. He says:
"This telegram doesn't look like Taggart
desires to side-step Mr. Pryan," and lie
showed a telegram which read: "Letter
received. Glad you are coming. Have Mr.
Bryan i conic with you if you can. T.
Taggart." He continued: "As I have said
all along, it will bo impossible to nominate
any other man for president If Mr. Hryan
will take tho place. His Issues urn the
issues of the democratic party no matter
who mny be nominated and we must stand
or fall with him."
The mayor doesn't take kindly to the
suggestion that the announcement made
by Mr. Bryan Thursday was in any way
anticipating the meeting of the Dahlman
Democracy club. "We expected Mr. Bryan
to make his announcement at thut time If
not sooner and he hus simply done it
sooner. It is natural that he should prefer
to make it In his newspaper so that there
could be no mistake as to what he said,
rattier than make the first announcement
In a speech which might be misquoted."
According to letters received by the
mayor the Bryan dinner . December 7 will
bring together a large number of demo
crats from the slate. The committee on
Invitations lias sent out 1.000 circulars and
many are being returned Willi the cash
for tickets. The speaking force, is sllll
In doubt except for the principal speaker,
but the acceptance of some prominent
southern democrat is expected In u few
days.

made and is on all sides being taken ad
vantage of. The small house Is beginning
to embellish its ext -rior by the addition of
three different leiiturcs. If it shoots out
I. It or a wing in a brick wall which
res a;; a screen fur the bade vard t IU
may hold, a rrstic or an iron gate, through
which one sees the bright colored flowers
of the garden. U It s nds forth u trellis
on which is draped whiarla or other vims,
this trellis has been ib igned by the archi
tect to carry out the structure i,r the
building.
Then it will be seen that the p.-oplo who
build are now seeing their homes with the
eyes of artists. They view them "pic
lorlai.lv." and they realize as never hefor--the
values that lie In bits of brilliant color
seen through a gateway. In garlands of
purple wistaria, draping brown and rustic
beams. In hollyhocks nodding above a
brick wall In the mystery which encircles
a secluded summer house when (i s t.
tleed and covered Willi delicate vines.
Whereas a few years ago these effects
were admired when they chanced to occur
they are now arranged for by 'the architect
or deslgm-r of the house and form u part I
or me scheme. They are a part oT the pic
ture which he lias in his mind when he is
drawing the plan of the house.
A cottage garden may have Its sundial,
its quaint and picturesque garden seats
and Its lathed summer house, a bit of white
plastered wall over which roses climb may
have its little scooped-out fountain from
which water drips. The running of a
water pipe In some parts of the wall is
not an expensive matter if it Is included In
tho original scheme for piping the building.

and
met
tile
by
chance on u South Omaha street car. The
old saying, thai one genius will always
recognize tho presence of u kindred spirit,
by a sort of Intuition, proved true in this :
case and the recognition was mutual. They
crowded Into a seat together und allowed a
crlpsle artd an old Woman to stand dang- :
ling on the straps. Each Insisted In a sort
of Gaston and Alphonse manner on liqui
dating the fares for the two, which kept
the conductor standing there for the greater
part of five minutes. The Council Bluffs
man was the more Insistent, however, and
the Omaha man finally "gave in, ond per
mitted his fellow genius from across the
river to tender tho patient conductor a J5
cashiers' check, which the latter promptly
returned. It was now up to the Oiunha
man to ilj something mean or be placed j
In the Ignominious position of having been,
outdon". Ho beckoned the conductor to
his side and in a loud voice demanded
"those transfers." The conductor was a
mild mannered, meek, retiring soul, and
Informed them in a polite way that as
they had paid no fare he would not be
permitted by the rules of the company to
issue transfers. I
"Here's your fares," said the Iowa man,
"tendered it to you once and you wouldn't
take it. Now, we demand transfers." I

rassengers looked at the conductor and
felt sorry for him. He reached out his
band and took Hie cashii rs' check, exam-
lned It carefully, folded it up and tucked I
It Int6 bis pocket, with the remark, "Guess
I cun muke it by giving up all my small
change." Then he began to operate his
uutomutlc quick change machine.
"Hold on." said the Council Bluffs man, '
"muyba I've got a dime somewhere, und j
lie glanced anxiously at the Omaha man,
but never feased him. But the conductor
didn't hold on worth a cent. He kept on
operating thul change machine till It was
empty and then went down Into bis pock
ets und brought up u handful of nickels. !
The Iowu man dug up a dime und slipped
It Into the Omaha man's hand to give to
the conductor. But It was "too lute, the
meek and retiring conducton had called
the bluff. He 1.I the -check in ids Inside

kept lam counting silver for the next four

The two mean men got off the car to- I
gether. The Omaha mean man suid: "You
paid the fines, now I will buy the cigais,"
and he did. but not until the Council Bluffs
man got uiruss the river did it dawn on

I Hoarded money is still seeking ut w llclds
of income in city property und In mortgage
on improved property. The business in
mortgage began ten days ago and has
continued during the financial flurry. Sev
eral lending institutions have sold guar
anteed nier. gages to Investors who desired
to with -draw cash from banks or secure
better than :! or -I per cent. The new tide
of such cupital is to be of great liencfit
to builders when spring opens and arrange
ment will be made for new loans during

There Is a decided Inclination among
