The tennis tournament at the Field club
this week has been the principal topic
of convrrs.itliin anil Interest. Most of the
entrrtalnlnif hits been at this club, with
the vIs'tlliK tfnnls players as honor guests.
TMh a:iminl tournament has broujht a
tiumb'i' of players here each year, until
they have become old friends, and each
season the gallery scans the entry list to
see If their favorite players will be here
again. The social favorites seem to hall
from Des Moines and St. Louis, and the
confidence of their fair admirers will en
courage them to come again next year,
even though Chicago and, Dakota carried
off the tennis honors this season.
A new fad has reached New York from
the other side, and a few Omaha people
pride themselves (that they are keeping up
with their eastern sisters. The tiny glove
handkerchief has become very popular In
the east where gloves are worn on all'oc
caslons. These handkerchiefs are so small
and dainty that they appear to be made
for dolls Instead of any use. The popular
ity of these dainty pieces of linen Is assured
for It Is so convenient to tuck them In the
opening of the glove and It is not notice
able. The finer ones shown In one of
New York's most exclusive shops were
finished In small scallops, and usually the
same monogram or crest was placed In one
corner.

The executive committee of the Nebraska
Federation of Women's Clubs has decided
to hold over Its Brownell Hall scholarship
until next year. Although the widest pos
sible publicity was given the conditions of
the scholarship through the press and by
notice to all clubs, no applications were
trade from Nebraska. One came from
Iowa, but as the privilege Is limited to
the daughters of Nebraska club women this
application was Ineligible. An unusual
number of club women sre away for the
summer this year and club work all over
the state Is nearer at a standstill than for
several years, making It difficult to reach
the women for any purpose. While the
committee regrets that this time must be
lost, It will be possible during the year to
acquaint more of the women with the conditions.
The following complimentary noonday
concert will be given In the auditorium of

Mrs. Ella F. McCall of the Chicago
civil service bureau has built up what Is
said to be the best free employment bureau
In this country. Last year she gave out
nearly 8,000 city Jobs to laborers and In
addition found places for about 4,000 men.
"I have had charge of the labor bureau
for about seven years," Mrs. McCall told
a reporter. "I engage laborers for differ
ent classes of work for the city, such as
cleaning the streets, digging sewers, water
pipe extensions and the like. It always
made me sad to turn away applicants
simply because they were not cltlsens, as
required by our city law.
"About two years ago I began to find
work unofficially for some of these appli
cants, and since then I have been able to
place a large number." It is said that the
Civil Service commissioners at first did
not approve of the side line of Mrs. Mo
Call's, but have now become converted
to a man.
Omaha Women's Christian Temperance
union will hold its education meeting

Three physicians were standing In a Kan
sas City drug store the other day, when
one, who had been looking at an evening
paper, exclaimed: "Great Caesar, here It
Is again! I see It in the papers at least
twice a month."
"What's that?" asked one of the others.
"It's that popular fallacy about a drown
Ing man sinking for the third time. Here
it says, 'Just as he was sinking for the
third time he was aaved by the timely
arrival, etc The next, time I see about
this third time business It probably will
read, 'Ho sank for the third time before
aid could be had and was drowned.'
"Why will people get that fool Idea that
sinking for the third time muot needs be
fatal to a drowning man? Why, bless you
I saw a man sink a half dozen times be
fore he was rescind n'.lve. An uncle of
mine, witnesses suid, never ssnk but once
and he was drow.i d. The nutnber of times
a man sinks nas nothing t. tie with Mu
drowning. H u.uv hiiiv -lut met and li
may go beneath U.c v;it?r any numoer of
times. It all dc jnls upon the person who
is drowning, his pl-yeicil condition and how
quickly the lungs fill with wm..t"
"That cycle of thre ! suggested another
of the doctors, "Is varrleu a'c ig by those
who insist that a ptrii'jn di?s !it his third
congestive chill. But this Is not true. The
same rule holds good in t:ingesllve chills

person may die in Hie .'i.t -.r he may
have a dozen and still live. Die rule of
three does not obtain th'te. olth-r. '
The first physician, with great disdain.
then told how many Ignorant persons would

"There's that same o'd rulu of three
again," he continued almost angrily. "FlrBt
and foremost, one disease does not run
into another. There's no such thing as a
collision between diseases, as many be
lleve. If one has malaria he has that and
that alone. The s.me thing Is true of ty

separate and distinct trouble and a doctir
with any senso shouij be able to diagnose
his malady from ivmptoms which are al
ways present in eacn and entirely differ
ent. This Idea of one disease running Into
another originated. I think, with the doctor
who made a mistake In his original diag
nosls and was compelled to nave a colli
sion between the two dlsi-nses later to
square himself."
The physicians were not carrying on all
this medical discussion for then own bene
fit. Several laymen, among whom were
some ;bellevers In the "rule ofthree" In
drowning and disease, wrre present and
the lectures were mainly for their educa
tion. From popular fallacies In regard to
medicine the conversation drifted to falla
cies regarding the law. A lawyer present
was called upon to exp'.aln first one thing
arid another, when one of the bystanders
said:
"I made a bet the other day that a per
son had no light to touch a dead body until
the roroner arrived and I won."
"Who decided the question for you?''
asked the lawyer, smiling.
"Well." said the man sheepishly, "It was
a bartender, but he's an edu-ated fellow
and Is a good Judge of law."
"You speak of the law as If It ere some
thing to be Judged like cattle at a fat
stock show," replied the attorney. "There
Is no law on any statute book In any state
In the United States which says one may
not touch a body before the arrival of
the coroner; there never has been, and,
furthermore, as people are growing more
sensible every day, there never will be. If
done with a humane motive a body may be
removed any distance.
"In case of murder the old English com
mon law used to require that the body of
the murdered one be left as It lay until
viewed by one in authority.
"That was done, It can plainly be seen,
for the purpose of preserving the surround
ings Intact so that whatever evidence might
be there would not be disturbed. In case
of a murder today; especially If any mys
tery were connected with It, common sense
would teach a person to leave everything
Intact, not alone for the coroner, but for
the police officials as well. But, should the
body of a murdered man be moved, there
Is no law covering It unless It could be
proved that the person who moved the body
did It with the Intention to destroy evi
dence. In cases of suicide or death by ac
cident there could be no objection to mov
ing the body anywhere In the city If done
with humane or some other proper motive."
"I'll tell you what is the law," said a
stoop shouldered, long armed man. Who
had been listening long enough to get the
gist of the discussion: "if a fellow sees a
murder through a pane of glass he can't
be a witness In the esse."
"Oh, piffle," exclaimed the attorney, "I'm
going to lunch. That's the limit. I was
waiting for some yap to spring that. If
that was the case and a murder should be
committed In this room half a dozen of us
could not be competent witnesses, If your
statement Is true, because we are wear
ing glasses. Glass Is glass whether In a,
window or on the nose. There Is no such
law as that. That's foolish."
'I heard my grandfather say that," in
sisted the long-armed man, "and be kndw'd
law, too."
"YeB," retorted the exasperated attorney,
"and he no doubt gave It out as law that
man could stand with his back against
bis own house and kill any one who came
within a certain distance of him. But he
would hang for it unless he had mighty
good defense. All of those things are what
we call 'chimney corner law,' but they
won't hold In court." Kansas City Journal.

ACTIVE WAR ON BILLBOARDS
Organised Campaign Agra Inst Common
Xulsunce In Town and
Country.
Representative Frederick H. Glllett of
Massachusetts has enteied the fight against
the billboard nuisance, and in a letter to
the Springfield Republican he presenta a
happy and effective method of campaign.
The congressman describes his trip to New
York from Washington on his way home
after the adjournment of the tariff ses
sion, and he tells how his anticipations of
a pleasant trip were rudely shattered by
the the hideous panorama of billboard ad
vertisements which, on either side of the
track, shut off his view of the beauties of
the passing landscape. It Is no new ex
perience, and hundreds of thousands of
travelers every day In the year, In almost
every part of the country, are similarly
Imposed upon. The evil Is of long stand
ing and the denunciations have been many
and vigorous.
But Mr. Glllett, robbed of the pleasure
which was legitimately his. hit upon a
happy expedient of revenge. As the train
flashed along toward his destination, he
made a mental list of the commodities
whose alleged virtues were flaunted In his
helpless face from flaring miles of bill
boards, and he pledged himself never to
purchase them under any circumstances.
The thought also formed In his mind that
he would immediately begin the organiza
tion of a great society of travelers1, the
Involuntary victims of the-blllboard horror,
who would force the abandonment of the
nuisance by pledging themselves to ab
stain from patronizing billboard advei
tlsers, but further thought convinced him
that such a society would fall under the
ban of the supreme court as a combina
tion in restraint of trade, and he gave it
up, confident that the good work could be
carried on Just as effectively by each in
dividual victim acting for himself alone.
Mr. Glllett says:
"I am not foolish enough to Imagine that
the losa uf my patronage Is goinc to dis
turb thfse puhllc offendf-rs, but If every
one who freis as I do would adopt the
same determination, 1 think we could
speedily bring them to terms. They do
not want the expense of such advertising.
und it It hurts them they will readily
drop It."
As a matter of fact the unorganized so
ciety of which Mr. Glllett speaks has 1jii"
been In existence, so far as Individual
Initiative Is concerned. Such advertising
repulses more patronage than It uttrac.s
and thounands of possible purchasers hsve
be.i prejudiced against useful cumm'jdltics
which are associated In their minds only
as hideous blots upon an otherwise smiling
landscape. The first low of advertlHln?
Is to attract and please, and the blllblanl
leaves only a profound disgust. Mr. Oil
lett's society Is steadily at work, but his
eloquent (leiidiicU'.lun will hcl a good
cause along to a happy culmination.
