About that time Patrolmen Allen nnd Whnlen dashed up, "Throw up your hands you fellows," thoy ordered, covering the strangers with their pjstols. The strang ers meekly compiled and were disarmed. Kveryone of the thousand odd witnesses breathed a slglt of relict. Comments about the bravery of Oinali.a policemen were rife. Promotion for the two officers waa suggested. In all that crowd thero was not ono person who would not rather cut out his tongue than "knock" the po lice. At the police station the two strangers described themselves as Qeorge and Fred Haines, farmer boys working near Fre mont.

A complete fllo of Omaha directories Is kept In tho reference room of the library, and recent directories of twenty or morn other cities are also available to the public. , "W frequently have Inquiries It certain persons were resldonta of Omaha during, certain years, or If Mr. So-and-So lives In Washington or Philadelphia," says Miss Tobitt. "Once the queatlon arose in n railroad lawsuit If a certain man waa a resident of a given city during a period of years, and the Information from our old directories bocame a part of the court record In the case.

Its appeal is to pcoplo of literary discrimination and cultivated tnsto-to the educated few instead of tho curious mnsses. It is stilted and stereotyped. Tt lacks the. "human interest" touch. In tho citv of ten to ono hun dred thousand population tho book-seller must do his own, advertising. Consid ering the. cost, tho possibil ities of book advertising nro really larger in smaller cit ies than in the larger centers of population. Now, lot. us consider tho third objection. Of course tho numbor of book readers in any town is smaller than tho number who may be re garded as possible purchas ers of any other commodity. Every person wears shoes, and every person eats; groc eries, but only n small per centage road books. Doosn't this fact open up a great op portunity to tho enterpris ing book-se, 11 or?

I The Commercial club has Jumped into the game and Is urging In black capital letters In tho Commercial Club Journal that every member of the club who Is not already a member of Ak-Sar-Den be come ono at once. The Associated Re tollers of Omaha have passed a glowing resolution praised the splendid work of Ak-Sar-Bcn and urging Its members also to Join If any have not already done so, All this cracks Samson's well-fed face Into n big Nobraska smile, and he de ilurcs this Is to be the greatest year Ak-Snr-Ben has known Then hero la home-coming week. Names of former Omahana have piled up In tho office of Snmson until h will have auch inn enormous list' to draw from that the mention becomes not only how to get thrjn here, for tho home-coming week what to do with the enormous army of visitors when It comes. So brainy heads are busy devising and concocting entertainment for tho crowds.

Sec retary Weaver sucgrsts that he wants tho territorial plonecre here along with the rest of the people who will flock to Omaha by thousands for that week.

The hustlers are working hard and are hauling In the members rapidly. The regular meeting of tho board of governors Is to be hold Monday evening at tho Omaha club room. Col. Pierce Has Been Discovered with New Stunt on the Coast Out of the free and hustling far west comes printed word that Colonel John II. Pierce, formerly of Omaha, Is diligently chasing the nimble coin around San FrancUco, with hoadquarters at Oakland. Omaha elders of tho '70's will remember Colonel Pierce. Of all the hustlers of those primitive days few. If any, rivalled him In pushing audacity, vocal versatility and sustained oratory. His talents were 11m-Itless-at least he thought so then and gavn a good demonstration of his varied activities In later years. Ono of Ma first thrillers In Omaha was aa managing di rector and operator at The Bee balloon which ascended from Jefferson square and landed near Flora see lake. In the subsequent years Colonel Pierce played, some part In Sioux Indian cam paigns and as magazine publlshtr, editor nnd poet, for which transgressions he did penance sb a minister. Just now the colonel poses as the "King of the Fairies," a seml-benevolent stunt In which he plays Santa Claua for the children at 110 per, with "liberal reduction for charity" with "a wedding thrown In." Pictures of tho colonel show him with a wealth cf natural whiskers such as patriarchs of bygone days sported. Tho Puratftent nnd Judicious Use of Newspaper Advertising Is the Road to Business Success. hook readers seem to be ade quately supplied by one lit tle unpretentious book shop. Tknow another city of three hundred thousand popula tion that supports tlireo largo, flourishing book stores and these stores are centers of civic interest and progress. From ono of these stores in particular radiate many movements that havo to do with tho intellectual progress and social welfare of the city. These book sellers havo gradually de veloped a largo cliontole of book Jovors. Thoy havo cultivated a widespread lit erary taste until every fam ily that pretends to keep up with tho literary procession has its library table liberal ly supplied with all the lat est books. Theso book stores are tho " intellectual baromotors of the town. Tho book-seller w h o knows how to tell tho pooplo of a town tho interesting things about the latest books is not only going to grad ually incroase tho number of book lovers, but is certain to build up in time a profitable clieutele, and thnt means the constant enlargement of his business.
