FATHER HUNTS COMET; SHOT
Council Bluffs Man Looks Like Burg
lar to Son.
EXPLANATIONS AT MIDNIGHT
Four Shot Fired, ftlnslnii the Star
Ciasrr on the Mark Jnal Nerr
onanraa of the Newly
weds,
J. E. Evan of Council muffs strolled In
home at midnight as the clock was striking
the hour to be shot for a burglar by his
son, E. C. Evans. The father Is highly dis
pleased about the matter. The son Is re
pentant, apologetic.
The ton, accompanied by his wife, re
turned early from church on Sunday night
and retired. A long way In the night,
awakening, they heard Fome one walking on
the front porch. They are newly weds and
nervous.
"Oh, Eddie, what if that was a bad
burglar," whispered the trembling wife.
"Oh, I'll lako care of him all right," re
plied Edward boldly, through . his teeth,
which ho held tightly together in grim de
termination. Grasping his American nlckleplated bull
dog revolver gently but firmly, ho act foiiii
to stalk the freebooter.
The front door was ajar. Ajar rounds
better than open anyway.
With stealth and agility the young man
approached and peered forth. What nerve!
The shadowy form on the porch was mov
ing leisurely about without apparent at
tention to tho impending volley.
AVntchlnu th- Cornel.
Father was rtujetly tryir.g to get a Una
on the comet. He chuckled to himself how
he would wake up those young folks and
show- them a thing or two about catching
that elusive rambler.
His starlit musings were punctuated
with the sudden report of tw o closely timed
shots from the "forty-one." The door
slammed shut and In a twinkling two more
shots followed, this time through a closed
and screened window.
Glass rattled all around while pointed and
well defined remarks percolated through
the silent teaches of the dark street.
Father had a sharp twinge in his back
about where his rheumatism ought to be.
His voice seemed someway natural to the
young man with the gun. He rushed forth
to see the havoc that he had wrought and
found himself confronted by the necessity
of making explanations.
He called Lr. W. T. Hombach, who lo
cated a tiny scratch on the elder man's
back. A court plaster for the wounded
and a sleeping powder for the sleepless set
the home at Fifth avenue and Sixteenth
street at rest.
The elder Mr. Evans, w ho Is a carpenter,
went to work as usual Monday morning.
He has made arrangements about coming
home at nights. His son. E. C. Evans,
works In Omaha.

she saw the officer, and then she began to
cry. She begged the Bherlff to forget that

'What do you pay for your cigars,
dear?"
The Boss of the Establishment, Immersed
In the Giants' box score, looked up with a
slight frown. ,. .
'Fifteen cents straight," . he .. replied
briefly.
' "Straight." mused the lady. "I didn't
know they brought anything on the side
with cigars."
After a short silence she added: "And
how many do you smoke a day?"
"Never more than six," answered the
Boss virtuously.
"That makes 90 cents a day or, let me
sec, $fi.30 a week," figured the cross
examiner, "Look here! Are you thinking of cutting
down my allowance?" exploded the ex
asperated witness. "How many glasses of
beer are you going to prmit me? And
perhaps you'd like to set a B-cent limit to
my occasional poker game?"
"Now, don't be silly!" his wlfo adjured.
"I have never thought you smoke too much
or drink too much or anything."
"Not even talk too much?" the Boss
hinted darkly.
"But you ought to have heard father dis
course to me about our recklessness and
extravagance Just before I took him to the
train," she continued, ignoring the insinu
ation. "He said during tho two weeks he
had been visiting us he had been perfectly
appalled by the way we spend money on
alcohol and tobacco. He said he was going
home with a sad heart because, far from
discouraging you in these riotous habits, 1
abetted you In them. He said any man
that goes more than 5 cents for a cigar Is
a spendthrift."
"He said all of that, did he?" observed
the Boss drily. "Well, what about it?"
"Oh, of course I know it Isn't any of his
business, but it made mo think thai per
haps we do spend too much money. We
are all so accustomed to the pace hero
that It takes somebody from out of town
to see us as we really are. And, do you

Summer houscfurnlshine, floor cover

In such pretty inexpensive fabrics that
even those whose incomes is moderate can
afford to put away heavy rugs and curtains
for a few month! ar.d substitute cooler
light kinds.
In throe fittings many improvements In
designs and colorings are shown each year,
especially In the rag rugs, but whether
they are called tho Martha Washington,
the Fireside, the Bungalow or tho Lln
colns, they are, after all, the old fashioned
rag rugs.

These are twisted until they look like long
shining cords and are then hnnd woven In
the same manner the rugs cut from woMen
and cotton rags.
When these wete first Introduced they
were Intended chiefly for bathrooms,
kitchens and veranda use, but they proved
so successful that now they can be bought
In sixes as large as 9x12 or, In fact, any
six ordered.
I saw recently a pretty one In tones of
soft grays wtlh a broken harder of wood
browns. It was ordered for a dining room
furnished lu golden oak, and I can Imag
ine nothing cooler or more restful than
such a floor covering. When soiled a damp
cloth rubbed over the surface makes It
like new.
The fireside rugs are just large mats that
can be easily car' led and laid where neces
sary. Many persons are compelled to have
something under the feet, whether sitting
on the lawn, the veranda, or In the I ouse,

"You wouldn't!" exclajmed the .Boss,.,
throwing down his paper. "Then I would ,
have missed tho greatest Joke of the year!"
He paused, looked his wife over carefully,
8K if debating' "whether -'or net her sense
of humor exceeded her filial piety. Then,
deciding that it did, he asked with deter
mination: "Have you any Idea how many of my '
15-cent cigars the old man smoked while.
he iKf0 here? lio you know that I had to (
mix him a drink the first thlng'at morn- '
lug and the last thing at night,
and that tho muscles of my arms are sore
from the unaccustomed exercise of shaking- :
milk punches? Has It ever occurred to yoi
that this visit of your venerable parent has
set me back about $50 por drinks and
cigars? Do you know that I hsid to get
him passes to all the weird murder trials
and tickets to all the queer shows In town
for the purpose of 'studying psychology?'
At least, that's what he called It!" . J
"Do you mean to tell me you squandereaT

And then she added sorrowfully: "I'll bet
It was the $00 you were going to give ma
for that suit I told you about."
The Boss saw his cue and took It,
"That $S0!" he exclaimed. "I should say
not! Wild horses couldn't drag It from
me! Why, It will be all that you can do
to get It away from me! That Is," he
temporized, "if you still feel, after all these
observations that you can pay ap much as

said, my dear!"
"Nonsense!" replied the unfillal Sligh
ter. "That was all fluff-perhaps ftu'd
better write me a check now!"
"My wife was a reckless spendthrift be
fore I married her," observed the Boos of
the Establishment to the Confirmed Mar-
rled Man next day. "She had no more rn
