0 THE OMAHA SUNDAY ItEE: JULY 5, 190S. VACATION TIME'S NOW 11ERE Men and Women Think of Cool Retreats Abroad. OMAHA FOLKS HAVE WIDE CHOICE lellowatone Park Pnpatar Place Slsee t nlua 1'arlflr Line Has Reached the Went ld of the Heaerve. Vacation time 1 almost here, Tra U la la la. Thim sang the little children In the public schools a short time ago and thus thinks I tlio business man and the school teachers and the busy toilers who take their va cations in the hot days of summer. Whrn the sun begins to beat down on both sides of the street and the asphalt pavements begin to soften and the collar 1 sciiin to wilt before the button Is firmly holding It then all want to fly to some civil retreat to enjoy tha cool Inn breezes from the mountains or to dive In the clear waters of some northern lake. Some like one soil of a vacation and some another, but the railroads centering In Omaha are able to furnish any kind the heart may desire. One of the most popular trips from Omaha this year Is to the Yellowstone park, the great natural outing preserve main tained by the national government. The completion of the llurr1mnn line to the west entrance to the park makes this trip muc h more accessible to all. Formerly the tourists had to enter from the north and leave by the fame gateway. It Is dif ferent now, for there Is an entrance at the west as well as the north. The traveler no longer has to retrace his steps, but may enter by either gateway and leave by the other, thus saving time and giving an opportunity to see much more of the park. Comforts at the Park. Many false Impressions exist as to Yel lowstone park. It Is an erroneous Idea possessed by many that to enjoy the beau ties of this park one must endure the hard ships of a tedious and dusty stage Journey Unci subslat on canned goods and sleep on the leaves. Far be that from the truth. Toms of the park are now made In com fortable coaches over splendid roads built and sprinkled by the government. The ho tels are models of convenience and the meals are fully as good as those In other first-class hosrelrlea. Yellowstone park Is one of the grand show places of the world and Is reached by both the Turlington and i;nlon Pacific. It Is one of the finest rest places ever known. You can do something different and see something different every day for the thirty you might well spend In the park. To the lakes of Wisconsin and Minim sot a Is one of the favorite trips of the peo ple of Omaha. Formerly Spirit Lake and Lake OkoboJI had the call on the Omaha outers and still a large ifumber go there, but the Increasing rjumber who yearly go north for their outings has forced them to look for new fields. I,ake OkoboJI has fine fishing at times, with bass, pickerel, pike, crapples and perch the most abundant. These lakes, as well as Lake Washington und Madison lake, are reached by the Northwestern. Lake Washington was for merly and still la a great favorite with Omaha fishermen, because of Its abundance of fish and also because It is so accessible. Fish ins; Lakes Easy to Heach. A few hours' fishing may be enjoyed at this lake on Sunday without the loss of a working day at Omaha. Taking the night train from the Union station the fisherman may alight from the train at Mamkato or Kosota Junction at daylight. A wagon trip of nine miles puts the fisherman at one of the lake hotels or fishing camps in time for a fish breakfast. Guides may be se cured who have boats and bait and by 6:30 the fisherman may be at the pleasureable task of pulling out fine bass and pike and crapples, or whichever he prefers. Fishing may be kept up until dark and the drive then made to tho train In time to leave for Omaha about 10:30 a. m., reaching the Union station In time to take up the busi ness of tha day. The Milwaukee has some famous fishing lakes and rest retreats on its lines that It has prepared several folders with photo graphs, giving tho fltjherman or man on a vacation an endless choice of cool spots for rest and recreutlon. The lines of the Milwaukee fairly gridiron the lake regions f Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Mich igan, as well as reaching numerous places n Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota and . JMlssourl. Colorado, as a summer resort, has been advertised both by tho railroads and by 11 who have been there in summer time.

In the past, fnlry pipes could be bought sll over Ireland, but they are hard to find now. and most of those In the museums are over a hundred years old. New York Press. MAN WHO GAVE US BANANAS Vp Jasaalea aad Made a Fortaae. Captain Lorenzo U. Baker, who died In the Parker house, Boston, on Sunday, was the man who brought bananas to young America. Captain Baker always said that the sale of bananas went up In school vacation times, and Captain Baker knew, for he was head of the only trust that caters directly to the country's little citi zens. Lorenzo Dow Baker was born up in the Cape Cod country sixty-eight years SJS). His father was skipper and owner of a whaler, and at 10 years of age the boy went out on his father's ship to learn the rough lesson of the sea. Like most of the old Cape Cod boys this youngster learned his lesson well and at 21 he was fit to be master of a vessel. His father gave him an old schooner and his blessing, and with this endowment Lorenzo Baker started out to win his way. Ife thought then that the best thing that could come to him, as he often told his friends later, was to be owner of "a good, fine ship" and to sail where he wished for profit and excltemet.t. One of the earliest voyages he made was to the mouth of the Orinoco on contract for an English firm of traders. On his return from South America Cap tain Bnker put his little 100 ton schooner In to Port Morant, Jamlaca. He bought a cargo Tf cocoanuts, coffee and pimento to take back home with him, and as an after thought and more or less of an experiment be piled the forward deck high with bunches of green bananas picked by the natives from the trees that grew wild about the port. The bananas had not been picked green enough and they rotted before Captain Baker's schooner got to New York. The Idea stuck with him, however, and back he went for more of the wild bananas. The second trip Cuptaln Baker made to the Island and that was thirty-seven years ago he began to ask the plantation owners why they did not bring the wild banasas In from the forests and plant them where the sugar cane ha1 grown. He even went around among the small fruit peddlers of tho native population urging that they clean up their few acres of ground and start the banana trees to growing. He had codfish and herring and boots, besides colored handkerchief's and gewgaws, that lie would always trade for bananas, urged the Yankee skipper. He took back something more than 1,000 stems on that trip, purchasing them from the natives at about 25 cents a stem. They went at wholesale In New York and Boston at prices ranging from 12.50 to $3.3. It needed no skipper from Cape Cod to dis cover that there was profit in that transac tion. Thence on for nine year's Captain Bakor made four or five trips a year to and from Port Antonio and New York and Boston. The Englishmen of Jamaica have been so sensible of Captain Baker's inflence upon the fortunes of the Island that they have always paid him signal honor. Not long ago a testimonial tea service, the gift of the corporation of Kingston, was presented lo Captain Baker by the governor of tho colony. New Y'ork Sun. MINISTER WITHTHE CIRCUS Sells-Floto People Carry Their Oni Sky-Pilot to Preach to Employes. With the Sells-Floto circus, that will show In Omaha on Monday, July 12, is a regularly ordained minister of the gospel. His name Is Rev. J. C. Merriman, a Metho dist In faith and was born near Beatrice, Neb. He preaches to the show people every Sunday and next Sunday in thlraclty will preach to them on "Public Play grounds." He will dwell at length on the effort made here for such grounds. Rev. Mr. Merriman says the majority of the attaches with the Sells-Floto circus are Catholic, the MethodlBts next and the Episcopalians and Baptists are tie for third place. The Presbyterians are fourth, the Congregatlonallsts fifth and the Luth erans sixth. The tribe of Sioux Indians with the show who take pert in the wild west are mostly Catholic, but Chief Bad Boy and Chief Loves-Hls-Neighbor are Episcopalians. Next Sunday those who visit the show grounds at Twentieth and Paul streets will witness the horses being scrubbed tho In dians also. The baby pc nles, baby lions, biby tigers, baby camels and baby monkeys will be fed from bottles and swung In hammocks. Just as If they were real babies In swell homes. Sells-Floto aro very proud of their baby wild anlm.il nursery and find it a great delight to little children. The circus management announces that the elephants will be massaged, except Basil, 20 years old, motiier of Jumbo. This old gal Is bathed In buttermilk and Doc Waddell asserts It Is shipped from Kansas, and that Basil knows that brand and will have no other. The dental colleges of the country are Investigating the Ty-Bell sisters, who are spun under the dome of the hlirh tent at a merry clip while suspended by their teeth. Bxperts who have examined their teeth say they are double rowed and of a material that closely resembles penrl. Yet they say while their teeth are different and stronger than other people's to accom plish their high air sensation they must have the muscles of the back of their necks developed to withstand the awful struln they are subjected to. And the Ty Uells admit this. Probably the most daring new act Is "The Passing of the Sutanos." Two dare devils on roller skates go down a respee. tlve Incline so rapidly the press agent says that they are In a perfect vacuum, without the life giving oxygen. The curves at the bottom of the Inclines hurl tha skaters Into space, and as they pess In the air each turns a double somersault and leaps Into a tank of burning gasoline. To Ite on the scaffold Is painless compared with the weak, lame back kidney trouble causes. Electric Bit ers Is the remedy. 60c. For sale by Bea on Drug company. Aulraals that I'srs Their Living.

FACT0BY SITES IN THE EAST END Property Around Twelfth and Daven port and In that Vicinity Geta Another Life by Loose Wiles Purchase. New interest In South Omaha real es ate Is evidenced from the fact that during the two weeks two large loans have been made by Insurance companies on South Omal.a city property. Thj loans were made by compunl which in the past have refused to con sider anything in the way of 8 ut!i Omaha mortgages, and one of the com panies readily loaned 116,000 on a resldei.ee with a small acreage trac t. "The Insurance coini antes are still bid ding for good loans on Omaha property," said Thomas Brennun, financial agent for some of the strongest companies In the United States. "And how liberal they are may be Judged from the fact that one fUiced plot consider South Omaha property has sent me notice that they are in the market for Sojth Omaha mortgages." When the Loose-Wiles Cracker and Candy company of Kansas City bought a site from George & Company at Twelfth and Davenport streets, for a new cracker factory during the week, it bei-ame more apparent to real estate dealers that prop erty In that vicinity will soon be at a pre mium for factory Eltes, and that busimas will push on down cast to Ninth street, where undesirable property will soon be ia placed by warehouses and factories. "From the numbr of Inquiries which are being received daily it would not surprise our location of Industries committee if half a dozen factory buildings were erected in the vicinity of Twelfth and Davenport streets," said J. M. Guild, commlss.oner of the Com mercial club. "I believe the location Is the best which we now have to offer factories and have requested all those who own sites In the vicinity to dst them wlih the Commercial club. The trackage facll.tlea In the northeast part of the business dis trict are unsurpassed and this means letter values." Small business deals continue the feature of the real eatate situation in Omaha. Le ts wort.) from J.U0 to $1.(100 and 1.-K ara sdllng ty the score. Some of the dealers tecord as high as three to five a day such lots iind many small homes are being erected as a result. A large numb.-r of sales ranging from 2,OM to $i'.,000 are als) record d each week, but there Is not the big dealing of a. year ago and two years ago. A list of sales furnished by Blrkett & Tc btens Is typical of the siles most common at this lime of the year. Tills list in cludes: From Blrkett A Tebblns to J. Wltachok, house and lot on Leavenworth betwee i Twenty-sec nd and Twent - hi d s rcet a. to JciKeph Duffy, cottage at H18 South Twe'ity llfth street; to Frank V1 thsafter, r 'slden. e at the northeast corner of Twenty-seventh and Harney streets; to Clara Glesin, cot tage at Twenty-fourth and Maple streets; to Mrs. C.

O. Walling, residence at Twentieth and Maple streets. C. M. Rich has sold for the heirs of the estate of the late Ellen Bishop, l-tW acres of York county land for $2o,750 cash, to Fred 'Hetnzman, Jr., of Phillips, Neb. Mr. Rich has had a good demand for farm lands, and especially for small farm homes. He sold during the week a twenty-acre fruit farm between South Omaha and Ralston for $9.0o0 to T. J. Farnsloy. The tract wus owned by John SteJ of Omvha. As compared to the conditions In other cities the real estate business In Omaha can he said to be extremely active. In an Interview given t a real eatate publication an officer of the renl estate department of the Indiana Trust company said this week: "General business In Ind'anapol's is neither d'm'nishlnT nor Increa-Ins, build ing In the city continues with few va an cles. Cjndl'lons throughout the state ar not as promising. Mortgage money Is ob ta'nabli on farm lands at 5 per cent, while 6 per cent is wanted on apartments and residences." From Des Moines and Biirl'nTtin. Ia., newspaper reports show that it 's a "stand off.' in business, as few sub s nf uibm property are being made and a number of unusual vacancies have been noted, while the number of houses being ere cted does not compare with the number at the same time lust year.

A 10-year-old girl walking Ire her sleep, clambering over a building front and over roof and eaves, harrowed the feelings of Georgetown, D. C, residents in the early hours of June 27. The neighborhood was aroused by her screams, aivd still the girl did not awake. To the fastness of her slumber she owes her life. Miss Sadie Pettlt occupies the Douse al 3124 P street alone with Miss Mary Thomas, an elderly woman. Miss Thomas Is deaf, and In all the excitement when rescuers were seeking an entrance to the house to ascend to the roof she pave no heed ami the door had to be battered in. The girl sat on the ledge of the building for an hour, her feet dangling toward the side walk, and slept on, while the crowd below was at a loss to know how to reach her until the expedient of house-breaking was adopted. This had been delayed, fearlnt: that the noise would awaken the sleeper, and every one was certain that if she awoke she would fall. Pol'ce were summoned and there was talk of calling out the fire department, bu' again It was said that this would be cer tain to wake up the girl and her death would surely follow. Miss Pettlt smashed every pane of glai In the window of her room, which is on the second floor, and climbing out on a frul' water pipe, worked her way along the side of the building untli she reached the roof of the p'irch. From there she climbed the water pipe to the roejf. which rlsies almost perpendicularly above the led?. Creep ing along the gable she got to a small brick projedlcn which Juts out at the rear of th, house. Dtessed only In her right clothing she stood on this dizxv foe. ting and cried at tho top of her voice. Persons living In nearby houses looked out of tin Ir windows aad saw thj young WMman apparently preparing to leap. Some there are today who affirm that she did leap, but she did not go over anyway. The next Instant she wus sitting or clinging loosely to the edge and wailing plteously. Meanwhile, the people below In the street were almost ife a frenzy.

YOUR LAND-LORD RECEIVES from you, if you pay $20.00 per month rent from the time you are 25 years old to 60, the sum of $8,400.00, which, with interest at 5 per cent compounded annually amounts to the enormous sum of $25,000.00. This sum would build and fur nish a number of homes, which you, Mr. Renter, are doing for your landlord. Why not pay rent to yourself! We will lend you the money to build or buy. a home on the monthly payment plan. Just like paying rent.

With others, he got out on the porch root only to find that he could no reach the girl from there, as he had planned. While the men were standing, balked for the moment und won dering what they would do nest. Miss Thomas put her head out of the window and called up commandlngly to the girl: "Wake up and come off the roof!" At this every one In the crowd fait his heart stop, for Miss Pettlt did wake up. The expected did not happen. Miss Pettlt awoke with a shudder and fell backward, not forward. Where am I and how did I get here?" she enquired. Sergeant Hess climbed out on a shutter and Policeman Clark held him from the window. Miss Pettlt was told to slide down the roof to the bluecoat's arms. Hess grabbed her as she came snd she was carried to a place of safety. New York Sun. NEIGHBORLY DUTY WELL DONE Modal Kitrduna Brsvely Met. Thoagh Task Put Them on tbe Jump.
