at the Omaha postoffice tells another In

All these letters were sent from Omaha
about the holidays. Some of them contained
money, money orders, steamship tickets,
express money orders snd. In addition.
were , several packages of Christmas re
membrances that could . not be delivered
to their Intended destination because the
senders forgot to address them properly.
One was a letter containing money sont
by Mrs. A. Ml It waa addressed with a
pathetic letter evidently to a son or daugh
ter In Chicago. Another was a pair of
baby's knit shoes sent to Klllburg, Sweden.
There was no address on the letter, nor
Lno signature to. it. This package was de
tained because of a violation of the cus
toms service.
But even this Infraction of the customs
laws might have been overlooked had the
letter been kddrssed to soma Individual In
Scandinavia.
Iteberra Will Wonder, Too.
Rebecca that was all will, too, wonder
why her friend or relative has not acknowl
edged the receipt of a money order for a
few dollars There was no postoffice on
the envelope, neither waa there a name.
It waa signed "Rebecca."

Poison, the symptoms are soon manifested. The mouth and throat ulcerate,
copper-colored spots appear, a red rash breaks out, the hair begins to come
out, and usually sores and ulcers show themselves on different parts of the
body. At the first sign of the disease S. S. 8. should be taken, for the
trouble is too powerful and dangerous to trine with. If allowed to run on
the tendency is to work down and attack the bones and nerves, and some
times It makes a complete physical wreck of the sufferer. The disease can
make no such headway if 8. 8. B. Is commenced and used according to direc
tions; Its progress can be stopped, the poison removed, and health preserved.

letter of transmittal waa sent with the
money, but the Omaha postofflce nor the
dead letter office has been able to find out
who "Harold" is.
Two packages of Christmas gifts wero
sent to far-off South Africa, one by Mrs.
Anna Robinson, and another by Aunt Em.
They were pretty pieces of lace work, a
couple of lace handkerchiefs and some
Christmas cards. The address on them was
Illegible and they, too, were an Infringe
ment on the parcels post laws, but they
were sent to South Africa anyhow, but no
one there was able to locate the parties
for whom the packages were Intended.
William Bookwalter will wonder why the
mony he sent to a friend or relative
never reached the party Intended. There
was no postofflce Indicated on the letter.
Friend No Getta de Tick.
An Italian who forgot to sign his letter
sent a return steamship ticket to a friend
or relative in Naples, but It was so poorly
addressed that the experts of the dead
letter office were unable to make It out,
either In Washington or In Naples, Italy.
The ticket was sold by A. Minardi of
Omaha and the owner will be found
through him. But the Italian friend will
have to defer his visit to America 'for a
little- longer.
A few days ago a well known Omaha
cltisen mailed a box of cigars to a friend j
out In the state. He forgot to put any ad- j
dress on the package, but had written a
very nice letter and enclosed It In the
box. The postofflce authorities In order
to ascertain who sent the package opened j
the package 'and found the writer's and
sender's name. He was asked to come to
the orfice and-did so. He Insisted that he
had addressed the package properly, for
he remembered distinctly about it; and
that the cigars were of the "Palmer
House" brand.
Postmaster Thomas questioned the brand
and observed that he did not know that
rigars of that make were sold in Omaha.
The man was indignant. The package was
shown him with his letter enclosed.' and
the cigars were of the "Hoffman House"
brand. AH the man could say was: "Well,
I'll be hanged."

At present the eggs are a trifle too salt,

Smith has a high board fence around his
hennery, and all of his experiments are
carried on In aecrecy. His eggs command
fabulous prices, both aa food and for sit

each. Not satisfied with his ham and
eggs, Mr. Smith has started another brood
on a diet of cheese with a view to pro

en masse and filled the place where he
would elect to play his program and charge
an admission fee. The former recltsls have
been mostly invitation affairs and without
any admission fee. They were attended
abundantly. The recital last night was at
tended by the faithful anl doubtless by the
discriminating as well as by the grateful.
The program waa long, but the Interest
was unabated. Enthusiasm and absorption
were the distinguishing features of the
subdued and receptive audience. Not an
effect was lost, r.or a tone unheard through
anything approaching restlessness.
The entire evening was given over to
twi of the great composers. One was
IJsit: the Prelste, the Prophet, the Realist
The other Chopin: the Poet, the Mystic, the
Idealist
Xe the Interpretation of these two oppo

Landow, who with the master mind and
master hand of the artist revealed th
thoughts and intents of the greater men
who wrote thetr thoughts In music and
built their edifices In enduring tones. The
talent of Max Landow amounts at times to
the height of unqualified genius. He lias,
technique and skill more than abundant
for the most exacting number on his pro
gram. But he has also the poesy and th
poise which must go with the technical
achievements before on. can rank as an
artist
Ons thinks of Mr. Landow as an emo
tional player, then, as a brilliant technician,
and then aa an intellectual inuaician; in the
end he wonders If the man has not all
three branches well balanced.
To sketch a brief account of the salient
points of each nu Tiber on the program
would be superfluous, as tt would mean
nothing to those who were not present, and
those who were there already know. How
evr, the rarity of tho "Deux Lcgemles"
or Two Legends of IJsst. tho "aermon to
the Birds" and the "Walking on the
Waves," entitles these beautiful gems to
the distinction of a special mention In a
program of valued masterpieces. The
alluring and ravishlngly tender "Sonet le
