; Big Check Cumes
! for the Old Soldier
Who Needed Help
While, Calvin Smith, a penniless, dis
abled colored ex-soldier, was telling his
tale of woe to the captain at the keal
army recruiting station Tuesday morn
ing a check from the United States treas
ury for IS3S.51 was waiting for him at
Fort Crook. Smith did not know it and
the authorities at Fort Crook did not
know where to find Calvin Smith to de
liver the letter.
Smith, according to the authorities at
Fort Crook, had been in the hospital
there a few days recently. For this rea
son the letter with the money due him
as back pay was sent to Fort Crook.
Having no authority to forward the let
ter the authorities there sent It back to
Washington at wi:e. Later learning that
Calvin Smith had been at the recruiting
station with his story Fort Crook author
ities called up the recruiting station, say
ing that the letter had been returned and
could likely be had If Smith sent his cor
rect address to Washington.
Smith has this amount of money still
due him as back pay and clothing and
provisions allowance for the time during
which he was out of the army service as
a result of. his discharge together with a
whole battalion after the famous Browns
ville affair. Smith was told at the re
cruiting station that he had a check com
ing to him as soon as he could get his
address to Washington. Instead of going
into ecstasies at the prospect of being
transformed from a penniless man to the
owner of $838.51 he looked blankly at the
man who conveyed the information.
Smith's mind la no longer especially ac
tive and he could not remember having
been at the Fort Crook hospital. " He
puzzled over this so much that he did
not appreciate the news of his check.

Rock Island Road
Raises Its Grain
Rate to the South
The Bock Island rairoad company has
fe'iven notice that effective October 28 the
rates on train from Omaha and southern
points will be materially advance. The
Rock Island gives no reason for the ad
vance, but the railroad men of other lines
say that the move is for the purpose of
getting out of the grain hauling business
to St. Louis and other southern Missis
sippi river po'nts.
At this time, like all other lines hauling
grain to the south Mississippi points, the
Hock Island Is charging 9 cents per 100
pounds on wheat and 8 cents on corn. The
not'ce sent out cancels this rate and re
stores the old rate of several years ago,
14 cents on wheat and 13 cents per 100
pounds on oats.
The Rock Island has no direct line to
St. Louis. To get grain from Omaha to
that market it is routed southwest over
its own line to Belleville, Kan., thence
over the Union Pacific to Topeka and
af.ain over its own line to St. Louis
Iravel'ng a distance of closeo 700 miles
as against 500 miles by the direct lines.
To get the grain to the southern market
the Rock Island lias had to pay the pro-
portlonate rate to the Union Pacific, this
amounting to 2 and S cents per 100 pounds
on oats ana wheat, respectively. Rock
Island men here say that every bushel ol
grain hauled from Omaha to Mississippi
river points in the south has been at a
loss. In many instances the losses have
been heavy, especially when the company
has had tp pay short shipments and grain
damaged In transit.
Under the old rate, after paying the
Union Pacif'c Its proportionate, the Rock
Island officials say that while not ac
much grain will be carried, there will be
a profit on what is handled.

"Lancaster" order, bjt in

I don't believe I am
stretching matters a bit
when I say my stock is

Sheriff's Office
Finds No Harm in
i the Gypsy Camp
Some fearsome soul took alarm when
U streets, South Omaha. He telephoned
the sheriff's office that the rovers were
terrorizing the community and unless
the authorities should interfere with
them they likely would sack and' burn
'South Omaha...
Armed to the teeth Deputy Sheriff
I George Hauptman was sent to, the Gypsy
i camp. He had a long visit with the king
! and ' queen of the, strolling band. They
j assured him they meant no harm" and
j had done none. They had rented ground
j on which to camp. Hauptman could find
no one in the neighborhood who was
j afraid of the Gypsies, so he left them

THB STREETS OK ASCAI.OX. By
Robert W. Chambers. 1 Pp. $1.10. A.
Appleton & Co. , .
Stresla Leeds, is a young widow with
,a tragic past whom New York fetes and
flings at the heads of the "ellgiblos."
Richard Quarren, debonair, kindly and
clever, falls In love wth Stresla, but is
too poor to marry. He breaks with his
set and goes at the real estate business,
but with poor success. Kind fate, how
ever. Is Just around the corner with a
penniless English earl, who has a gal
lery full of old English masters, by whose
sale he hopes to fill his limp pocket
book. Quarren offers his offices as
storage room for the pictures until
Dankmere can sell them, and then it I
but a step toward turning the real estate
offices into a gallery and Quarren Into
a picture dealer work he loves, learns
and Is saved by. And Stresla, losing her
money, thinks she must marry one of her
wealthy suitors, so dominated Is she by
the false idolatry for the money god of
these dwellers in Ascalon. But her love
for Quarren holds her back until she
comes to realise that her standards are
false and that It Is not millions but man
hood she must have to make her happy.
And they two are happy. That's the
story; not very complicated, but interest
ing on every pas.
WHERE THERE'S A WILL. By Man
Roberts Rinehart. 852 Pp. Bobbs-MerrlU
company.
The story is told In the first person,
and the author not only makes Minnie
Waters, the spring house girl of Hope
Springs Banltarium, who tells the story,
a person with strong Individuality, but
gives her a sense of pungent humor in
her speeches. The scene Is laid In a sani
tailum whose owner dies at the beginning
of the story, leaving the place to a soape
erace erandson. provided the young man
takes charge of It by a 'certain dute and
runs Is successfully for two month?? The
pomnlications all evolve out of a conspir
acy evolved by the spring house girl and
others Interested to pass of a young man
who drifts Into the place from nowhere
at almost the last possible minute as the
grandson. He takes charge of things,
and at the very last minute the scape
grace also appears with an unexpected
wife. Wel-nigh hopeless tangles and ab
surdly precarious situations without num
ber result, and the spring house girl has
the most exciting time of her long and
diplomatic career.
MAY IVERSON TACKLES LIFE. By
Elizabeth Jordan. 24t Pp.. $1 Harper
& Brothers.
There is amusing adventure and Irre
sistible fun In these tales of the young
ladv and her gay-hearted companions
whose school days are portrayed, and the
author has been entirely successful In
her effort to Impart to the reader this
same slprit of light-hearted mirth. The
picturesque background of the story Is
a composite picture of two or three
schools which the author herself attended,
and. of the characters themselves, "two
are drawn from life as clearly," says
Miss Jordan, "as one can draw who must
look at her models through the mists
of more than twenty years." But the
"mists'1 have apparently only added to
the charm of these schoolday recollect-
tions.
THE GULF BETWEEN. By Anna Coti-
stanttnl. 319. Pp. $1.20. The' John C. Win
ston company.
The romantic story of a beautiful Ameri
ca n girl who does not find In her mar
riage to an Italian count the undivided
devotion she expects, and who does not
readily adapt herself to the Idle social
life of the Italian nobility. How her un
rest leads to jealousy her Jealousy to
counter-suspicion how misunderstanding
leads to the duel to rebellion to flight
and the final heart-driven awakening
are among the incidents that hold the
reader enthralled and lead to enthusias
tic endorsement.
THEIR YESTERDAYS. By Harold
Bell Wright. 311 Pp. $1.30. the Book
Supply company.
The story Is really a sort of extended
allegory In which the two chief charac
ters might be called "Everyman" and
"Everywornan." The author does not
g've them names, nor does he stop to
consider any of the material circum
wtances or Incidents which ordinarily
play such Important parts in fiction of
any kind, even In allegory. He starts his
two. people from modest beginnings and
takes them out into the world to find
occupations and success. The purpose of
the author Is to set forth, through these
vague outlines, what he calls "the thir
teen truly great things of life."

This story was completed just before
the author's death and Is a picture of
Williamsburg, a parish of Brooklyn, as It
was In earlier days. The book Is, In a
way, autobiographical; not In the sense
of Its story, but In relation to place and
people and to certain Individuals who
were agents of good to the community in
their day. It Is possibly a better expres.
sion of the philosophy that ruled Mar
