ENROUTE TO THE BUG HOUSE
President International Association
for Suppression of Orercoats,
LSAWS BIO AUDIENCE AT DEPOT
Expoatelates with Foolish Persons
Who Eidaigrr Their Lives by
Going; About Hardened with
Clothing.
"I," said a solemn-faced, alow-a peaking
man at Union station Thursday morning,
"am the president of the International As
sociation for the Suppression of Overcoats."
The president of this great association
for sartorial reform was a very tall, very
thin man. His face was of the hatchet
variety, very narrow with a sharp nose.
But this narrow face was overshadowed
as It were by a massive broad brow which
trade his whole head have the appearance
of an acorn. He wore a double vlsored
English traveling cap set well back on Ms
head. Over his ordinary clothes was a
cape.
The person to whom the president had
addressed himself while stopping at the
station t altln for M train enrne-tlon, wa
unknown to him. So he only stared at the
speaker who had uttered these rather
abrupt words. The president fixed him with
a piercing- eye wandering from h'a face to Ms
overcoat which was a long heavy fur one.
Its owner being evidently a farmer.
"Foolish, foolish humanity," mused the
president.
Why Tsrtart Yoerselff
"Young man, why do you torture your
self with that great clumsy gnrment? Do
you know there are 14?,000 pores upon the
human body? Do you not realise that each
of these Is a small pair of lungs through
which fresh air Is supplied to the system T
Are you not aware that by wearing that
garment you are slowly suffocating yourself
to death?"
The president paused with Hps firmly
pressed together and fixed his auditor with
a stern and questioning eye. The wearer
of the heavy overcoat looVod uhdeclded and
then gave an uneasy laugh. The president
raised a hand as though to ward off a
blow.
"Do not, do not, my friend. Laugh not
at matters of so great weight. Tour life
hangs In the balance. The great organlxa
tlon of which I am the head Is seeking to
bring the people out of their darkness Into

globe of ours 45fi,327.S97 persons who clothe
themselves every year with the abomina

cost? Allow $20 each, which Is very low,
and It figures $9,126,537,910, Ah, I see you

Did Charlemagne wear one? Did imperial

A considerable crowd had gathered
around the president vby this. - time. He
made a sweeping motion of his long arms
and bade them draw nearer.
Profound Secret of Life.
"I have a startling secret to tell you,"
he whispered. "Do you know the secret
of Themuselah's living 969 years. No?
Never thought of lt.ejj? Well, It was be
cause he didn't wear-an overcoat. I'll live
that long because I don't wear an over
coat. You'll live that long If you don't
wear overcoats."
A beatific expression had come over the
face of the professor, the expression of an
altruist who feels he Is accomplishing an
unselfish mission to humanity. The crowd
about him was In doubt, when a voice
was suddenly heard.
"There he Is," it said, and a hlg man
rushed up. In company with one of the sta
tion attendants.
"Sir, your train la about leaving," said
the big man to the president.
"Do not disturb me now, secretary," was
the reply.
"But you will be late. for the International
convention," Insisted the big man. The
president looked undecided.
"Tell .them .to hold the train for me,"
he said, with an air of finality.
"They have already held It for yoti half
an hour," said the big man.
The president made up his mind then.
He hastily exacted an unanimous promise
from all hla hearers never to wear over
coats any more and then he was led away
by the big man, who grinned hack at the
crowd behind the shoulder of the Interna-
I tlonal president of the great Association

SPUD NEARLY NINE POUNDS
Potato of Immense Proportions Ex
hibited by Man from New
Idaho Country.
W. H. Henry of Twin Falls, Idaho, ta a
guest at the Paxton hotel. He has on
exhibition In his room a potato weighing
six pounds and nine ounces which was
raised this year on Irrigated land, which,
three years ago was a desert of saga
brush.
"We had a potato show In Twin Falls
last week." said Mr. Henry. "The farmers
were rather timid about uncovering their
big spuds at first. They wantdd to hold
back and see what they had to beat, but
toward the end of the week they came la
with a rush. There were pink potatoes,
red potatoes, green potatoes, white po
tatoes, brown potatoes, gnarled rotatoes,
smooth potatoes and plural potatoes, all
as sound aa an American dollar, even
though some were off shape. Most of tho
exhibits were perfect and a magnificent
showing was made. At the eleventh hour
a farmer brought In a cargo excelling all
the others. He exhibited the product of
a single hill weighing 21H pounds. His
lnrgcst perfect potato scaled 4 pounds 13
ounces, while the largest plural potato
weighed ( pounds 9 ounces. I bought It
of him for $5. The potatoes from the ex
hibit have been sent all over the east so
as Just to let people know what our coun
try can do. One feature of those big
potatoes Is that they are aa crisp and
firm aa a watermelon, with not a pith or
hole In one."
BILLY GOAT BESIEGES HOUSE
Bellicose William Camps on Front
Porch and Occupants Send
for Police Aid.
One home on North Twenty-fifth avenue
Is In a state of siege and the police de
partment has been summoned to Its relief.
A rampant billy goat Is camping on the
front porch and the Inmates of the house
with fear and trembling await the mo
ment when he shall "butt In" to the resi
dence through the front door.
The goal Is owned by Mrs. Kruger, who
lives on North Twenty-sixth street, but It
will not stay at home. Flowers In the
yard of a neighbor attracted Its attention
and when It had attracted the attention
ot the neighbor the flowers were In ruins
and the pots which once contained them
were scattered and broken. The despoiled
householder wrote a letter of protest to
the police and before' a man could be de
tailed to corral the goat the telephone
brought word that the goat had moved
upon the house and had driven In the
pickets, placing the household In state of
lege. The luncheon hour was approach
ing and the women and children faced
famine If reinforcements did not arrive .
with provisions. i
The chief of police advised a sortie In
force, but the woman's voice at the other ,
end ot the wire advised him that the
goat had made a demonstration In force
which rendered a sortie Impossible unless
It could be made with heavy guns. The ;
chief wou'd rot consent to use of powder, 1
but tecommcrded a broomstick. This the
woman iV.dpred Inadequate and at last
report fhe was trying to arrange terms

could come or the house could be found
to be In a condition which could not be
defended. I
HOLE IN POCKET BREAKS HIM
Place Through Which Money Passes
Causes Stringency to Charles
E. Furay.
Charles E. Furay, marriage license clerk
In the county Judge's office, has discovered
a cause for the financial stringency which
has been entirely overlooked by J. Pler
pont Morgan, Chancellor Day and Q. W.
Wattles.
"It was fierce the way this money
stringency hit me," said Mr. Furay, keep
ing a long line of bashful grooms waiting
wlille he explained the situation. "I found
my spare change getting scarcer and
scarcer every day. The cost of living
seemed to be soaring so high the little ex
cursion the cow took over the moon wasn't
worth speaking of compared to It. If I
filled my pockets with change in the morn
ing before leaving home I would be dead
broke before noon and would be lucky If
I did not have to borrow a quarter to get
lunch with. I couldn't understand the
cause at all and was beginning to get pes
simistic about the tightness of the money
market and was almost ready to Join the
pops, when accidentally I discovered the
reason.
"In an excursion down Into the bottom of
the pocket I use for my ready change I
found a little hole Just large enough for
a qrarter or a half-dollar to slide through.
It wasn't the cost of living at all that was
keeping me broke, but that pesky hole.

OMAHA POSTAL CARD CENTER
Over Two Million "Fancies" and
"Comics" Manufactured Here.
PRICES FROM 1 CENT TO $2.50
l eeful as Well as Ornamental Cnrda
Now Occupy Prominent Plaro
In the Correspondence of
Business Houses.
While Omaha Is far famed for pork,
never .until this year did it become fa
mous for supplying souvenir postal cards
to every stale in the union except Dela
ware, which, dealers say, is about the
size of a souvenir postal and has not shown
a demand for the product manufactured
and Imported by an Onialiu iliin.
In less than two yeiu 2,000,000 cards
manufactured In this city have been Sold
to dealers In all parts of tho United
States and tho trade is reaching a propor
tion almost beyond belief aa Christmas ap
proaches. ,
As an example of the uses to which the
decorated cards are used, one Oina ia firm
has given an order for 5,000 cards, printed
In red, with white letters "lie a Rooster."
These cards have been so popular With
business men that the Omaha dealers have
been unable to supply them fast enough
for local consumption, to say nothing
about the orders from outside dealers.
A Wholesale grocery house of Omaha buys
souvenir postul cards at a cost of $45 per
thousand for the use of traveling sales
men, who send them to merchants, giv
ing notice of the date of their arrival.
Merchants have written many letters to
the wholesalers complimenting them on the
beauty of the cards, and watch for them
as they would a letter with a remittance.
"Our daughters have made a collection of
the cards you have sent us," writes one
merchant from a Nebraska town. "Tho
cards make your salesman welcomo, and
have attracted .such admiration that we
have decided to put In a line of cards,
and want prices on cards ranging in price
from 1 cents each to 25 cents each."
This made the wholesaler think, and he
arranged with the big Omaha stationery
house which Is selling the cards to Job
them and almost every wholesale grocery
house In Omaha Is now taking orders for
postal cards.
Tell Telephone Number.
Another plan adopted by business men
of Omaha is to use the postal card to give
customers notice of sales, and particularly
to call attention to telephone numbers.
One card says, "My telephone number Is
," and the merchant Writes In tho num
ber, mailing tho novel cards to palrons.
with the result that a call is received for
almost every card sent.
Doing business by postal card is quite a
fad In Omaha and dealers predict that the
cards will he used more extensively than
ever during the coming year.
The measure -of Omaha's prosperity has
been taken the last month, and in spite
of tea-canister hanking and talk about
poor-rich, cards are selling at from 1 cent
to $2.50 each. Never have such lines been
offered before and Christmas and New
Year's greetings will be sent this year by
postal cards.
Some of the art cards Imported by an
Omaha firm are extravagant, flowers being
worked out In Silk plush with gold mount
ings. While the demand for postals, cost
ing. $2.50 each, Is not large, many cards
are eold at 50 cents each, and the 25-cent
lines are In big demand. Men and women
on the postal cards are dressed In silks and
satins, and tiny sailboats, with silk sails
are seen against blue satin seas and be
neath the pale pink domes of Venetian
skies.
Territory is Large.
From Omaha shipments are being made
to the large cities of the east and the
Inland towns of the west; the southern
titles look to Omaha for a supply, whllo

When an order was received Thursday
from a merchant In Routt county, Colo
