HUNT THAT ENDED IN FAILURE Type that Mar He Found In JVovcU, bat Nut In Mining Cempn, on lUnrhri or In the Big; Cities. NEW YORK. Auk. 21. "I've Junt returnel fronj a protracted hunt for a type of human being that no lonicer exists, and I'm from Missouri an that to part of It, too," Bald a retired business man of New York. "I am referring to the breezy western man. I'd heard, you e'e, all of the legends about the breezy western man and I knew that he has hen embalmed, with all of his explo sive breezlness. In the literature of several generations. I wanted to see him. "In the course of my extended business life In New York I'd met thousands of western men, but none of them was what ou could call breezy. This caused me to feel myself somewhat Imposed upon. It didn't seem rlpht to me that thess western chaps visiting New York failed to make good In tliln matter of breeclnesa; didn't act up to their pans, to put It that way. I'd always read and heard that the typical western man was a breezy, blowy, blustery, crusty, sorf of son of Boreas born In a cyclone cellar. What then did all of these western fellows mean by zephyrlng along to New York and conversing, all of them In that subdued, soft-pedal tone of voice T 'They don't even look like the breezy westerners of my conception. Their faces weren't prairie or desert or mountain tanned; they didn't have sweeping, straggly spread eagle mustaches; their necks lined criss-cross wise and red like a turkey's comb; their eyes weren't hard and steely; the'.r hair wasn't cowllcky; their hands weren't huge, hairy and calloused. In fart In New York they looked Just like New Yorkers, and New Yorkers of the conserva tive cut at that. . "They didn't wear Immense brimmed sombreros. They wore hats Just like ours, of the conventional styles. Finally they didn't wear boots. For me this was the final straw; the miserable scoundrels posi tively declined to clomp around on my rugs wearing boots. "And In other respects these Westerners Irritated me keenly. Why, would you be lieve It, a lot of them actually Insisted upon putting on evening clothes for the hotel dinner or when we went to the thea ter. And they didn't even call their even ing clothes 'full dress suits.' They called 'em evening clothes, and they looked Just as easy and trig and spick 'and span In 'em as If they'd been wearing; ' evening clothes all their lives. "And they weren't a little bit humble under the piercing, withering gaze of the moat Impressive and oppressive waiter. Not only that but they knew how to order a far better dinner than I ever could or der. They had a way of picking out, as If by Instinct, the best show In town, and some of them could even hum airs from the Wagner operas. The society of clever eastern women didn't disconcert 'em a particle and hadn't I always heard that the breezy western man, were he never so breezy, was Instantly shrivelled Into bashful silence by the mere propinquity of women of any sort? "As I say, I waa positive all the time that these western fellows visiting New York were merely acting. And so when I retired from business over a year ago and decided to' make a leisurely tour of the whole United States, I felt that" my time had arrived to track down the sure enough, honest Injun, flank branded breezy westerner. " 'I'll find him now all right,' said I to myself, 'and I'll unmark him, too! He exists he's bound to exist or there wouldn't be so much said or written about him. Watch me get on his trail now and run him to earth! I'll Just drop In unan nounced on a lot of 'em and catch them right In the article of being breezy west erners, and maybe they won't feel cheap!' " Here the retired New York business man NATURE'S o PERFECT T0NIG Something mors than an ordinary tonlo is required to restore health to weakened, run-down system; the medicine must possess blood-purtfying properties as well, because the weakness and Impurity of the circulation Is responsible for the poor physioal condition. The blood does not contain the necessary quantity of rich, red corpuscles, and Is therefore a t k, watery stream which cannot afford sufficient nourishment to sustain the system lu ordinary health. A poorly nourished body cannot resist disease and this explains why so many persons are attacked by r spell of sickness when the use of a good tonlo would hare prevented the trouble. In S. ' . . . wU! be found both blood-cleansing and tonlo qualities combined. It builds up weak constitutions by removing all Impurities and germs from the bl od, thus supplying a certain neans for restoring strength and invigorr ting the system. The healthful, vegetable Ingredients of which G. S. S. is . ' posed make It splendidly fitted to the needs of those systems which r re delicate irom any cause. It Is Nature's Perfect Tonic, free from all harmful minerals, a safe and pleasant acting medicine for persons of every r e. B. 8.

GA leaned back In his library chair and laughed. "You know how," he 'went on, "a bunch of normally mild-mannered, not to say demure, cowboys standing around a rail road station In the cow country gravely watching a halted Pullman train filled with easterners will suddenly tip each other the wink and then begin to tear around like madmen, popping their guns and emitting frightful 'Yee-ows!' and 'Whoop-ees!' and scaring the credulous and timid ones on the overland train Into conniptions? "When they do this, of course, the cow boys at the station are only funning. They know that most of the tourists on the train have got them all cut and dried tn their minds as wild men, and so Just to start something and enjoy a little sport they turn loose alongside the halted train and set up a terrific uproar, to the profound perturba tion of the more timorous travelers. "I saw that happen a number of times during the progress of rambles through the far west.' And I noticed that, oddly enough, quite a few of the cowboys engaging In these fictitious riotous doings don't know how to play the part. They weren't realis tic at the work. They weren't accustomed to howling and whooping and yee-owlng. So that to the discerning eye their perfor mance was stagey. They were qbviously Just Imitating. "Well, that's the way it was with some of these decidedly nonbreezy western busi ness and professional men whom I met on my pilgrimage. " 'Look here,' I said to quite a number of them after I'd failed utterly to find any naturally breezy western men anywhere, 'buck up, some of you fellows, and be breezy, won't you? I've come all the way out here to see at least a few really and truly breezy westerners. I haven't found even one yet. But please don't ell me, you folks, that I've been cherishing a delusion all my life. Be wesiernly breezy, some uf you for heaven's sake, be breezy!' "And the western chaps, lounging around their luxurious clubs, would laugh and then one or two of them maybe would start In to give an Imitation of the east erner's fixed and unalterable conception of a breezy man of the west. Their efforts to .do this all rang hollow; they were of the stage stagey the role manifestly was dead new and unfamiliar to them so far as act ing it was concerned; they simply didn't know how to be breezy western men, even when they were trying their blamedest to amuse a guest. "Not that, all over the west, from Hel ena to Santa Fe and from Omaha to Den ver and the slope, I didn't find these west erns follows, Jovial, hospitable, hearty, even rollicking, devil-may-care and some times a bit reckless. But such traits don't express or embody breezlness. If ever they or their forbears were westernly breezy, after the breezy manner In which they've been typified, then they've wan dered as far away from their type as the present day horse has from his equine ancestor that was, they say, eleven inches high. "I found them the bulllest fellows im aginable to flock and foregtither with, but, hang It all, they simply wore not. never had been and could not be breezy; and I'll tell you what. It's pretty hard for a man or my age to have to surrender an Idea that he gained In his earliest years and that clung to hijn through his youth, maa- hood, middle ace and old fogyhood it certainly Is. "Made no difference where I went, I couldn't find that breezy westerner. When I first started out I figured that I ought to find him In such a place as Butte, for example. But the fellows I met In Butte and I reckon I met them all had about as much western breezlness about them as you might expect to find at the Union league in "Philadelphia, "Don't take me as meaning that they were smug or dummyfted or anything of that sort. Merely, they weren't west ernly breezy, as I had a perfect right to expect they'd be in such a place as Butte. "Breezy? Why, confound 'em, those Butte fellows seemed to me to spend most of their time conversing in subdued tones among themselves about motor car tours of the Riviera that they'd taken or were contemplating taking, or dahabelah ex cursions up the Nile. The Riviera and the Nile didn't I have a lovely chance to un cover and unmask a breezy westerner In a gang of westerners like that? "Same In Denver where, by the way, I actually believe there are more fellows who have their clothes made in London than there are In New York; same In Cheyenne where It seemed to me most of the purely Imaginary breezy westerners I met own their private railroad cars, and they think no more of spinning these private cars to New York to give their wives and daugh ters a couple of weeks of grand opera than we think of dropping over to Boston or Baltimore. "Same in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Portland, Tucson, Los Angeles same everywhere, for I only mention these places at random. I was chasing a will o' the wisp, and I knew It long before I was through with my western pilgrimage. "Often I ventured off the beaten western track, and still my breezy westerner eluded me. Even In a mining camp like Ooldfield I failed to spring him. "Men lined up at the Ooldfield bars, of course, talked In tones of alcoholic bluster, loudly and boastfully sometimes; but men lined up at bars talk like that everywhere, In New York and Boston as well as In Ooldfield and Cripple Creek. Tbe typical, thorough-going westerners that I came Into contact with at Goldfield, however, weren't breezy. "Nothing like It. They talked almost whlsperlngly about mines and claims and improvements and stamp mills and labor troubles and such like; but they never got within a mile of breezlness. "Why, I couldn't even find my breezy man on ranches far removed from railroads and I visited about a dozen such ranches, j My ranchmen hosts all turned out to be I quiet. Indeed, rather reserved men of busi ness, who rode around on their tours of : Inspection diked out In riding to?s of the i sort you'd expect to see along the eques- j trian path on Riverside Drive their wives modishly habited, often accompanying them. ! "I waa on two ranches, one In North ( Dakota and the other In New Mexico, j where the hosts out of compliment to their women folk, always wore dinner Jackets at dinner. And one ranchman, on whose Immense place In Texas I srent a wik. carried a limp leather edition of "The Odes of Horace" with him when he can tered afceut ea his inspecting tours, and what's more, he read from that book at odd moments. "And so I returned from these western wanderings without having located my breezy westerner. Instead of coming upon any human critter who even remotely re sembled that chap, I ran Into and was overwhelmingly entertained In many far separated cities, towns, hamlets and camps and ranches of the west by slews and slathers of keen wltted, self-contained, thoroughly balanced, good natured western men men who wasted few words, never boasted, took a couple of baths a day, switched into evening togs at the proper hour; men who, speaking generally has precisely tho same manner and appearance of the men of New York and Washington and Boston and Philadelphia, plus a cer tain poise, a certain breadth, a certain bigness of view, which, after all more than any other quality, differentiate the stand ard, high grade westerner from the east erner of the corresponding class? "But they weren't breezy, blame 'em, and I don't believe I can ever forgive 'em for that." CONTRACTORS ON THREE BIG BUILDINGS RACE AT WORK Builders on Brandeis, City Natlonnl Bank and Conrt Ilnnne Struc tures Are Competitors. Contractors for the three biggest build ings now going up In Omaha are engaged In a sort of race. The companies doing the work on the Brendels building, the City National bank and the new court house are watching each other Just a little to see that the rate of progress made by the other two Is no better than -theirs. The Brandeis building has had the start of the others and has now arrived at the point of Installing steel. The long ste-l beams which will support the proscenium arch of the theater are being put Into place now. Brick wotk on the court house is going ahead at a swift pare and the work of Installing concrete piers to sup port the steel columns Is practically done. Excavation for the City National bank building Is being done by the general con tractors, and being done faster than a sub-contractor would have done It, 8 t BRANDEIS STORES Hair Goods oi Our Second Floor Specially Priced iff $5.00 two-ounce, 22-lnch, natural wavy switch $2.29 $7.00 two-ounce, 24-lnch natural wavy switch $-1.89 $1.00 18 -Inch straight switch G9 $2.00 20 and 22-lnch straight switches, at $1.75 $5.00 22-lnch straight switches long hair $3.49 $8.00 22-lnch Transformations, made from 18-lnch hair $5.00 $9.00 22-inch TransformatlonB. made from 18-lnch hair $6.00 $2.50 Grecian Cluster Puffs set of eight, made from 16-lnch hair, for $1.25 $4.00 Grecian Cluster Puffs sot of ten, made from curly hair, for $2.00 $2.00 Nellie Brinkley Curls, all shades, for $1.49 Extra Large Automobile Nets, special 2 for 350 $25 2$.lnch natural wavf switch best French hair 18 25 18-lnch Transformation made of best French curly hair, Saturday and Monday, only 918 J4-lnch net covered roll 18o Manicuring, hair dressing, sham pooing and facial massage.

"Taken for souvenir. Returned; guilty conscience." That was all there was to the note, but accompanying it were two silver spoons, securely wrapped In a piece of newspaper and enclosed In a pasteboard box, mailed to the Henshaw hotel under an Omaha post mark Saturday morning. There was no signature to the not. The spoons were engraved with the name "O'Brien" on the handle. "The spoons were valued at about $5," said Chief Clerk Keenan, "and we were glad to Ket them back, and only hope that the conscience wave that seems to afflict bonie of our patrons may be extended. "You would be surprised at the quantity uf stuff that flexible conscience permits their owners to abstract from the hotel as souvetUra. Only a day r t ago I fuund a bulky wallet lying on the chiffonier of a patron. In which were two calios of soap and a couple of electric littiit bulbs. Sev eral days ago I found a grip of a near de parting guest hidden behind a chiffonier and, noticing its bulky sppearance, my at tention was called lo some fluffy stuff sticking out of It. In lifting It up the grip flew open and there I discovered half a dozen towels and several cakes of soap of the Henshaw brand. I simply laid the towels and soap on the bed. They were there when the guest departed. He pald his bill hurriedly and with a flushed fact. Nothing was said. It was simply a case of 'muslo. without words.' " "There must be a wave of awakening conscience prevading Omaha Just now," said Chief Clerk Billy Anderson of the Home hotel Saturday morning. "We had almost an Identical case with the Henshaw, only the articles returned by mall were a sliver knife, fork, table and tea sponn -i . nu a omii tasse spoon.
