OMAHA, Aug. 4.-To the Editor ot
The .Beo: "I don't see no p'lnts about
that frog that's any different from any
other frog," said tho ensual wayfarer as
he wandered Into the Calaveras drinking
place and commenced the episode which
Mark Twain Immortalized. The lineal
descendants of that casual wayfarer seem
to have gathered In Qmaha for the pur
pose ot taking part In the discussion ot
the pending gas franchise. And they
can't seo "no p'lnts about that franchlso
that's no different from any other fran
chise," and with the peculiar penchant
of their class, they oppose It just be
causo It's a franchlso.
One of the "p'lnts" they dwell on Is
tho matter of Income to the company
Members of the Ileal Estate exchango
make great todo over the Inordinate
profit of 6 per cent the company seek, to
gain. I can recall onco hearing one ot
the bellwenthers of the Ileal Estate ex
chango say In course of a private con-
ersatlon that he would not touch "any
proposition" that did not net him at
least 20 per cent and that he did not
then havo a piece of Omaha property
that wtis not paying him better than 20
per cent. I know another real estate
man who loss than six years ago was
working, on salary for an Installment
book concern, but who Is now driving
nis own automobile about the city, and
It's not a cheap machine, either. Another
concern of real estate men advertise that
It will guarantee' Investors 7 per cent
net: and the list might bo strung out to
an Inordinate length.
The "p'lnt" is: Is a man a nntriot
when ho seeks to make 20 per cent on
real estate Investments, and a criminal
.when he Invest in gas stock and asks
for 6 per cent? OLD FOGY.

over with' him.
Another went to Montana to get some
land In his old days, but could not stand
the vigor, or the -climate", so he tod- has
gone to a better land, .So they are-passing
one by one.
My husband' has been a cripplo for
twenty-three years: ha. poor health and
ha. simply given up all hopes ot a pension
after trying for twenty-fiv year, to get
the disability removed. 81eeplng on the
froxen ground, standing guard day and
night, eating hard tack and wormy bacon
are not very conductive to health. So
he Is almost nn Invalid.
I was 10 years old when the war was
raging and have picked bark from the
rail fences many a day for fuel; that be
ing tho only avallablo thing to burn, all
the men having gone to war; and at
nights the soldier, would shoot around
the hoUse and we Would drop Under the
windows to avoid the shots. They would
tramp through the house, steal every,
thing they wanted and order my mother
to cook for ihem. They were "Johnnies,"
but not the kind I married, who Is as
loyal tb his country's flag that he will
not even make a tuts about a pension and
the more than useless expense ot sending
them back to Gettysburg to celebrate that
bloody battle.
It will be only a short time until all
the old soldiers will be dead and buried,
and the time to show appreciation Is
while tlfey are alive. A few flowery words
and an Inscription on their monument,
if they even have any, and hard times for
the poor, old widow that Is left will never
make up for the substantial relief that
should be thrlr. while they are alive and
can feel.

ENGINEERING.
There's many an expert engineer
With tripod chain and compass
Who can determine boundary line.
And settle many a rumpus;
But does there exist an engineer
If so, he mhst bo a daisy ,
Who can locate the line that Is drawn
drawn pretty fine
Tha line twlxt tired and lazy.
Tho colleges send forth engineers
Who determine points to a fraatlon
Kor tho greater the growth of tho
universe. .
Tho greater demand for exaction!
But Is there a polytecnlc school
That can ever produce a student
Who can determine the line that lies .
Twlxt the cowardly man and tht
prudent.
There's many an expert at measuring
space.
At finding points of digression:
If they were lined up In parade they'd

An exceedingly long processlorir , .
But rould we find one in that lengthy

Who of knowledge had gained a suf
