Kntlan Curtnlled It.
Just after the Easter tornado there
was much speculation as to whether or
not many of the homes would be rebuilt
of brick or stono Instead of lumber. A.
F. Rasmussen, who has been In charge
"f tho restoration desk at tho relief
committee headquarters and handled
most of the bills for the materials, says
there Is absolutely no nntlrahlo ton.
dency to build more In masonry than
there wa before. On the contrary, the
demand for lumber has been very large.
Wherever business houses were de
stroyed they are usually being rebuilt
in brick or stone, as is the case, for ex
ample, at Twenty-fourth and Lake
streets, where a number of fine new
structures have gone up and where oth
ers are In procefcs of construction. Many
of these are much better buildings than
those that occupied the spaco before the
storm
When the ruins of the storm district
were first surveyed there were many
lumors or nouses, peculiarly constructed
that stood the test better than others!
mm ulCre a DncK, stone or cement
block house was found that stood the

"What's that?" asked Foster when they

"That's a fire escape," said Dr. E. Hol

"Open the door and walk rlsrht out."
The Judge opened the door and walked
out. The instant ho nnH

New Clothing Store
maiVGO vjuuu ill xi.il
Its First Promises!
Wlloox & Allen, 2(3 South Fifteenth
street, opened a men and young men's
clothing store Maroh 1. It was to be a '
new kind of clothing store. The owners
promised to sell a class of clothing that
would be unlike anything that Omaha
hud seen before. They promised to give '
,ne particular Omahan a suit that would
! tnat would wear and that would cost ;
i ian' dollars less than-a tailor would j
cl'ai"Be 'or the garment. Threo months j
' rolnK success have furnished proof j
' ot tne ab,,lty of tlle new merchants to
maKo good. They have succeeded In ;
keeping every promise. The suits they
sell fit fine, and give high satisfaction.
''You know It Is very hard or. rather,
has been hard for a man to get a coat
that would fit about the collar and
shoulders," explained one of the man
agers of the store. "But we have solved
this problem, Wo give every customer
a coat that will fit snugly about the
shoulders. Our clothing Is made so It
fits. We give a ready-made suit that looks
as though It had been tailored to the
man's form. Some of the best dressed
men In Omaha are wearing our clothe."
An Insight into the business this firm
In doing may be gathered from the fol
lowing facts: A very few days ago tho
store had 215 suits of a certain make.
These went so rapidly that when the
! 8tore opened yesterday there were only ' I
inn r. T... ... -.
$16.50, though somo of them had been i
regularly priced at $23 and $30.

Bee's Attitude on

"If I've ever said any mean things
about The Bee I tnko them back," said
Gas Commissioner Joe Butler, "for "The
Bee has started something after my own
heart. Tho editorial in yesterday's paper
declaring The Bee' would not stand for
any more gambling on the carnival
grounds is a good move and ought to do
a lot ot good. It Is tlmo the gambling
on the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival grounds was
cut out. Many parents, believing the car
nival was a good clean place because Ak-Sar-Ben
had charge ot It, have allowed
their children to run free on the grounds
and the gambling especially has been det

Graff Says Art of
Spelling Not Lost
i
Maintaining that all sorts of Invest!- j
gatlons of the capabilities of Omaha
school teachers would not reveal "the
shocking condition" In New York schools,
whore thirty teachers were found who
could not spell, Superintendent E. V.
Gruff is of the opinion that spelling Is
overestimated.
"Some people havo a knack for spell
ing," said tho superintendent, "and oth
ers simply can't learn to spell, After
all, the value of spelling Is overesti
mated. There was Shakespeare, for ex- ,
ample. It Is said he simply couldn't
spell."
The superintendent says the Omaha
teachers hold "spelling bees" frequently,
and these show conclusively that the
art of spelling Is not lost.
