Not long ago a new baby arrived In Ms family ami the young father evinced the greaust urMe In the- matter. While sev eral fMitiila were congratulating him In his office, one of them asked: ic "By the way, old man, how much ' did the cherub weigh?" i "Twelve pounds dressed!" exclaimed the delighted parent.

After a three-day session of a Joint eon yen Hon of the Nebraka and Western Iowa Retail Implement Dealers association and the South Platte Implement Dealers asso ciation these bodies decided to unite under one large association, the name to be the Mid-West Retail Implement Dealer asso ciation. This association is designed to cover all the territory within reach of th large Implement houses of Omaha, South Omaha, Council Bluffs and Lincoln snd it It expected within a short time to bring the membership up to 200. The constitution and bylaws were adopted subject to slight changes by the executive committee again to be ratified by a gen eral' meeting. The executive committee ar ranged to meet In Omaha in about on month, when a ecretary and treasurer will be elected. William Krotter of Stuart, Neb., th dele gate of the Nebraska and western Iowa Retail Implement snd Vehicle Dealers' as sociation, made an extensive report of hi findings at the national convention at Chi cago and some recommendation. -The reports of the retiring officers of tha, old associations showed there was a failing interest In the association, but It is hoped to revive this Interest by the consolidation. The meeting of the implement dealer brought a large number to Omaha and the National Corn exposition, and the Imple ment houses were filled all week with vis itors, but It was a hard task to hold tnk member at the meeting with so much else going on.

An unassuming middle aged man visited the National Corn exposition Thursday, and so Inconspicuous did he keep himself that It was known to but few that the head of one of the great businesses In the world had been at the grounds, or. for that matter, was In Omaha. The man referred to is Louis Swift, the president of the packing company bearing the name and a son of that Gustavus Swift, who was one of the great founder of the packing Industry. Jt seems that the packing Industry does not conduce to a liking for notoriety. Ogden Armour keeps out of public print to a remarkable extent, considering his prominence in the world of cattle and grain. This Is true of Louis Swift and of other leaders n the packing business also. "Tha corn exposition, la a great success," said Mr. Swift. "Omaha may well be proud of Itself, and I personally am more than repaid for coming here. Good corn la a vital matter to us of the packing world, for good food Is necessary to make good cattle and hpgs. I shall cVmo again next year and stay longer." LAW TOO WEAK.

Card from Bishop Xnel.en. OMAHA, Dec. 15. To the Editor of Tht Bee: Upon my return this morning from Toledo, O., I was shown The Sunday Ree of December 13, containing my "Thoughts for Christmas Season." I was greatly sur prised and chagrined to see my1 "contribution-in the Sunday edition. It . was so licited -for the "Christmas edition" and I asked your representative explicitly whether It was to appear In the regular Christmas edition or In a Sunday edition, stating to him - that I never write for a Sunday paper. . Upon being assured that It was to appear In the Christmas edition, not In the Sunday edition, I wrote the ar ticle. By printing my contribution In 'the Sun day edition The Boe, quite .unintentionally I am sure, places me Into 'a Wong light and Into an embarrassing ' and seemingly Inconsistent position, ."since the' church, which I have the honor to represent does not countenance Sunday' papers.

This he feels he can well afford to do because the more the Ingredients of which his medicines are made are studied and understood the more will their superior curative virtues be appreciated. For the cure of woman's peculiar weaknesses and derangements, giving rise to frequent headache, backache, dragging-down pain or distress and kindred symptoms of weakness, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a most efficient remedy. It is equally effective in giving strength to nursing mothers and in preparing the system of the expectant mother for baby's coming, thus rendering childbirth safe and comparatively painless. The "Fa vorite Prescription" is a most potent, .strengthening tonic to the general system and to the organs distinctly feminine in particular. It is also a soothing and invigorating nerv ine and cures nervous exhaustion, nervous prostation, neuralgia, hysteria spasms, chorea or St. Vitus's dance, and other distressing nervous symptoms attendant upon functional and organic diseases of the distinctly feminine organs. - -.
