Is putting up to lts'membcra a proposi
tion to buy as a homo the building
erected by the Independent Telephone
company on Harney street, betwen Nine
teenth and Twentieth. A plan has been
worked out for the organization of a
real estate holding company, which would
require a stock subscription of J75.0UO, on

RICH FARMER WOULD ENLIST

Saunders Gives His
Views on Some Ways
of Making New Laws
Senator Charles It. Saunders, who after
his arduous work In the recent leglsla
tare In behalf of the Omaha Water
board, has again settled down to the
business of drawing a salary as "office
manager" for Water Commissioner
Slowell. As a salutatory, the senator gave
Iblrth to certain gems of wisdom anent
legislators and legislatures. He premised
Ills assertions with an expression of pro
found respect (sarcasm) for the city
commission.
"I will abldo by whatever the city
commission does," he said. "Those eight
men are wise."
"But there are only seven, senator,"
aid the reporter with mania for
Accuracy.
"Oh, no. There are eight But as
was saying, if the council wants to pur
ihaso the Auditorium, why I'll vote to
tatlfy their action."
When another reporter, who labored
with the legislature last winter, asked
what had become of a certain bill, ho
aid;
"Darned If I know," said the senator,
earnestly. "I don't even know how
voted on It and won't know until I get
the record. I don't know how I voted on
the majority of measures. Somctlmoa
when the bills were on third reading and
a' vote was being taken, somebody would
hudge me and ask mo to voto and I'd
say aye, and then find out I wanted to
vote against the bill. That's the way It
happened with lets of them."

ETE LOOKS TO BE TOO OLD
Krrka Minister to Rronrp Iodnljiw,
n He Say that He Whs nobbed
In n Hotel the Night
Before.
Owning a farm five miles northeast of
West Point worth no less than $25,000.
August Burmcster, who says he Is but SO
yean old, Is seeking a Job at $15 a month.
He is In Omaha seeking a place as pri
vate in the United. States army. He has
rented his farm for a p3l of five years
for $760 per year cash. The farm lies In
tho beautiful Cuming crcok valley where
all the soil Is worth Its weight In bank
bills.
Burmcster strolled Into the recruiting
station and said: "Is this the place where
they take the soldiers!"
"Yes sir," replied the sergeant.
"Well, I like to go In the army myself.
I was three years In the Germany cav
alry. I was a dragoon."
He declared he was but 30 years old, al
though he was told he looked 50.
I worked hard in my life time," he
said, "that Is why I look, old, but I bin
a sound man, all right." Gradually he
revealed the fact that he owned the farm
nt West Point and that ho had decided
to quit farming for a while and go to
soldiering. When the recruiting force re
fused to take htm until ho should bring
In more satisfactory evidence of his age,
ho began to Inquire for a certain L,u
t tier an church at Twentieth and Mason
streets, -where ho said ho hoped to get
fres lodging with the parson, as he had
been robbed In' a hotel the night before
BID YOU KNOW IT RAINED?
WATER FROM A SKYSCRAPER
What, raining a day like this?"
He was a business man, rushing along
at a business pace on Seventeenth street,
beside thft Omaha National bank. Sud-'
denly he stopped as If struck. He took
ff his hat, looked at It. then at the
ground. Both had drops of water on
lhcm He peered at the sky. It was clear
&ji a bell.
Here come two women, one elder than
the other, evidently mother and daugh
ter. "Ooodneas, me," oxclalmod the elder,
.running her hand mechanically over the
top of her hat. "Raining and th6 sun
warm and bright"
The daughter had felt the big drops by
this time. So hod others passing that
way. The sldownlk soon was quite wet
Spectators who aaw the Joke laughed as
the procession of victims filed by.
Then camo sounds of tho fire depart
ment and a big truck hauled up in front
of the bank building on Farnam street.
uy this time pedestrians began to be
more circumspect and saw an awning
up on ono or the ninth story windows
fcd caught fire by some strange means
and a workman was subduing tho small
ffame with a hand extinguisher that sent
forth quite a stream. '
Probation Officer
Popular With Boys
J. B. Carver, who will be elected tru
ant officer of the public schools by th
committee on teachers and Instructions o
the Board of Education Monday after
noon, says he has more friends among the
youngsters ho has "corrected" than
among any other "set" And the district
court Judges and the chief of police, who
have watched Carver work, say he's en
titled to tho friendship of the "kids."
"Why, he'll go out and pinch a kid and
bring htm Into Juvenile court with tears
running down his cheeks and his little
heart full of bitterness, but when Carver
gets through talking with him that kid
Is willing to vote for Carver for mayor,"
said one of the Judges,
Carver had taken an Interest In chil
dren of the delinquent class for several
years, but seven years ago he found he
had to many friends among the little
street waifs that he decided to chuok
everything else and go to work among
them. He says he has never regretted It
and Intends to keep on working, believing
there's no kid so bad, but there's enough
good In him to warrant a man giving him
a "lift"
