Willie II. Harrison of Hiawatha, Kan.,
a lad of 22 years, hadn't thought of get
ting married until one day he happened
to see that some girl "did want to find
a husband." She suid she was 20 years old,
light hair, blue eyes, 6 feet 4 inches tall,
weighed 104 pounds, could cook, sew, owned
a Nebraska farm, and wanted a husband
who could farm,
Willie bit, sent her a letter, and soon an
exchange of pictures followed. Finally
they agreed to meet in the Union Station
In Omaha on November 17, and Mr. Har
rison arrived attired in the glad clothes.
Ha waited from 6 o'clock Thursday until
midnight and was on hand Friday morning,
wearing ths three colored ribbons that she
had instructed he should wear so she
would know him.
Willie waited, then tarried awhile, then
he stuck around some more, and finally
asked Officer Mansfield if ha had 'seen
the lady. Now Officer Mansfield, being
klndhearted, told ths truth. "Tes, I saw a
girl about as you described, but she s all
right Some man was taking good cars of
her."

Ex-Senator Mason
Argues Federal
Case in Omaha
Has for Client Frederick S. Baird of
Chicago, Charged with Conspir
acy in Land Case.
Frederick S. Baird of Chicago, one of the
most distinguished defendants who has
ever appeared in ths Omaha branch of the
federal court, was before Judge Munger
Friday afternoon arguing a motion for a
new trial. Baird Is charged with con
spiracy in connection with the entry of
government land In northwestern Nebraska
and the case has been dragging along in
the Vnlted States court for many months.
An unfavorsble verdict was returned
against BalTd and he now seeks a new
trial.
Baird himself Is a lawyer and ha is also
represented by former United States Sen
ator William Mason of Illinois. Senator
Mason ts one of the most prominent mem
bers of the Chicago bar and appears only
in highly important cases. His appearance
in Omaha attracted much attention in
legal circles and leading members of the
On. aha bar showed him marked attention.
It was agreed that ths proceedings before
Judge Munger should begin at 11 o'clock
Friday morning, but ths court room was
not properly heated at that time, and as
Judge Munger Is suffering from a slight
attack of cold, the hearing was postponed
until 1:20 o'clock.
It Is alleged Uiat Baird, a resident of Chi
cago, practiced technical irregularities In
connection with homesteadlng a tract of
land In Dawes county, but ths charges
against him ars entirely different from the
other land cases which have recently at
tracted so much attention and which re
sulted in wholesale Indictments of several
prominent cltixens of northwestern Ne
braska. The charge In those cases was In
timidation of settlers and in the case of
Baird nothing like Intimidation is alleged.
Senator Mason mads a strenuous argu
ment on behalf of his distinguished client
and tits argument brought to Judge Mun
ger"s court room a large delegation of local
lawyers in the rols of spectators.
Senator Mason vigorously attached the
credibility of witnesses who testified against
Baird at ths original trial. Ths argument
closed at t.80 o'clock and Judge Munger
took the case under advisement.

Kir James Crichton Hrowne is un record
as having said: "LJfe owes every man and
woman 100 years. It Is their business to
see that they collect the debt." The recent
deaths of Florencs Nightingale and Julia
Ward Hows at W and 91 years of age,
respectively, are examples of sweet, whole
some lives, full of good works and loving
thoughts, and illustrsts the truth that life
Is Intended to be lung when that life helps
and benefits others.

the beauty cf a lung life Is exemplified In

The later years of a man's life are often

that ths later years should be simply de
