SINGLE COPY TWO CENTS. JUDGES'" WAHTJLD OFFICES JJona EJ Declared Ambition to Sit on Supreme Bench. OTHER CANDIDATES IN FIELD . .. - . - -. irk - SJaryT ttniy u nw ai w Jadtclal District, Lealaa; nart, Wukli1 aaa Dmg lM Cwaattea, Judicial ttaW evidently 1 not over plentiful In this district. If the talk about poarlbl candidates on ths judicial ticket at this iUi e-f the proceedings Is any Indication. There ars three places on the supreme bench to be filled next November, but no one has appeared In Douglas county who thinks he would like to make a try for It. Several Judges on the district bench are known to harbor aspirations for promotion, but all of them are going on the theory that "a bird In the hand Is worth two In the bush." and will try to keep their present places by seeking renomlnatlon and re election. That start the list of republican entries off with seven in a bunch, namely: George A. Day. Lee Estelle, Howard Ken nedy, W. A. Redlck. Willis O. Bears, A. L. Sutton and A. C. Troup. The sitting Judges are not to have a walk away, for three or four competitors are al ready in view. Judgo C. T. Dickinson, who has had service on the district bench, expects to present his name again and County Judge Charles Leslie Is an an nounced candidate for a place on the dis trict bench. Judge W. A. Foster, who was for many years a Justice of the peace, and has more lately been chief deputy in the sheriff's office, and was a candidate four years ago. Is considering filing, and some of the friends of A. C. Pancoast of South Omaha likewise think they see in him suit able judicial timber. The judicial district which formerly con sisted of Sarpy, Douglas. Washington and Burt (Sountles, was changed by the last legislature by cutting off Sarpy county, normally democratic, thus leaving the dis trict more republican than ever, and In ad dition reducing tho area over which the canvass Is to be made. The politicians count the republican Judicial ticket a win ner, and the nomination equal to an elec tion, which fact Is expected to bring still more entries Into the field. CRIPPLED LAD WILL GO BACK TO THE COUNTRY Yaaaarster Finds Handicap of Dis ability Too Great lu Bustle ' of Cmaha. While he Is only half of a boy physically because of paralysis,. Charles Herbert Is a big boy In . spirit. Put It Is a sad world fnr Charles. His mother, for whom he had Worked In the fields at their home near Bennington, and whom he had supported, la dead. When the bigger brother went away from home, the lad did such odd things as the half of 15-year-old boy could do. And In some way he and his mother managed to have food and shelter while she lived. On her deathbed, . the . mother said, 'Charlie, grow up and, be big man." ' Charlie wondered how a boy who can only use one side of the body that nature had given to him could be a big man. But he Inteddcd to be one anyway. Bo to Omaha he came. , - "They Jold me I could make lots of money down here," said the brave young ster, ' but It ain't so. I earned a little money at the Union station carrying grips and parcels. But the other boys were quicker than me and they got the grips. When I wanted to go to sleep last night I had no place to go, and no money with which to eat." Now, if any farmer wants a half boy with a whole ambition, here Is his chance. Charlie wants to go back to the farm. The police matron Is looking for a place for him. "You see, mother never liked the city," continued the lad, "and there is nothing here that reminds me of her. I liked my mother, 'cause the brothers all left her. The green fields tell me all about her, an' aha seems near to me. "Anyway, I'd rather pick potato bugs than carry the grips of persons who stick their noses up In the air. Then I surely will grow up to be a big man out In the coun try. I know now that mother would have wanted me to stay there." ' t The boy slept Tuesday night In the ma tron's office. He will be caredf or until a home fur him is found.

Intelligent men and women of Omaha realize what such an institution ss the Toung Women s Christian association means to the self-respecting business women of our cltyT The organization now possesses a building which Is adequate In every detail to the demands of our pro gressive civilization wherein the business girl has a real business home. Formerly Fhe was compelled to eat a cold lunch in some uncom fortable corner of an office or store, after which. If she wanted a little change of outlook or a breath of fresh air she must seek the streets, If the weather was fair, whereas In our new building she can now find a clean, wholesome, warm, midday lunch, after which she may either go Into the gymnasium for a little physical exercise, or she may pass a quiet hour In the large and spa cious parlors, or lie down In the rest room, or enjoy a book or maga zine in the library. In the evenings she may take ad vantage of .the many classes for In struction In business methods, scien tific cooking, bible work, or other 5 o: ' V Li DR. ABBT VIRGINIA HOLMES. branc hes for mnntal development, or enjoy the evening classes In the splendidly equipped gymnasium. A clean and delightful social life Is also provided In entertainments of all kinds, so that from an economic standpoint alone the Toung Women's Christian association Is doing everything In its power to increase the efficiency of the modern business women, to augment her earning capacity In the business world, where she has taken her place as an Integral part and by every means pos sible, give her a mental, moral and social uplift, thereby raising her . standards and her ideals to the very highest point of development. And this name business girl has In the post and Is now giving all that she can, according to her means, to support this Institution because she fully ap preciates what it Is doing for her. ' , And because the Young Women's Christian association Is trying to do this splendid work, does it not deserve the strong financial support of the business Interests of our city? County Board a Sure Winner in the Way of Making Combines Three Men Are Able to Do as They Flease Others May Simply Look On. "Talking about combines,", said the city hall rounder, moving up to the top of the hand-rail at the entrance steps,"the coun cil combine Is pretty good, but the combine that does the business over tn the court house across the street Is a stem-winder. The county board consists of five mem bers, and three votes will do anything. When Bedford and Plckard went Into the board they constituted a democratic minor ity, which they turned Into a majority by annexing Fred Brunlng and getting him to sell out the republicans for a few paltry appointments. For two- 'years the com bine was Bedford, Plckard and Brunlng. with Bedford and Plckard playing Brunlng for a sucker. When Brunlng retired and two more democrats came In, the third place went to O'Connor, whose hunger was appeased with less pie even than Brunlng'a. Although Elsasser was elected as a demo crat at the same time as O'Connor, all they let him do Is to sit on the (bleachers and watch the players. Bedford and Pick, ard decide what they want, tell O'Connor how he must vote, then there la nothing else doing. ; Talk about a combine! Those county board democrats take all the prizes."

' Wallace Tells the Real Estate Men it Pays to Advertise Newspaper Advertising is Not an Ex pense, but Simply Fart of an Investment. R. . B. Wallace, advertising manager of the Payne Investment company, said to be the largest colonisation concern In, the country, made so almost wholly by print ers' Ink, delivered an Interesting address at the noon luncheon of the Omaha Real Estate exchange. "To advertise successfully," declared, Mr. Wallace, "one must have his mind on it constantly;, he must breathe it, he must think It. In ail cases, though, advertising will not sell an article; it must be backed up by good salesmanship. The both go hand In hand together and one cannot get along without the other. Advertising is not an expense, as some -are Inclined to think, but It Is a part of your Investment. When a man advertises he Is capitalizing his energy."
