Whca the collection bos came round, McCuna dug deep, and scratched hard through his pockets to rake up t& cents. "It's sure worth that," he said te hlmsolf. when be had heard the sermon. Then he went back to his "friend' who bad been selling the papers. The fricsnd waa gone. Th papers were guns. And what money the friend had ftolluctad from the sale of the papers was gone with him.

ESTABROOK SAYS WE HUSTBE READY Ridicule! Wilion'i "Too Frond to Fieht' Idea and Says Country is Weaker Than Diihwater. SPEAKS THREE TIMES HERE Ridiculing the unprepnrednena of the United Etateg to defend IU rights tod poagpgalons, and the "peace at any price" and "too proud to fight" .ollcleg of Bryan and Wilson, Henry D. EsUbrook. at the University club at noon, declared that the country Is "weaker than dishwater," that Amer ica's ships and suns bad better bn thrown onto the scrap pile, unless r-dded to tremendously, and that we nust forthwith spend lots of money for defense. He is prominently mentioned as a I-osnlbllity for the republican presi dential nomination, and has recently r.ecome nationally famous for bis strong statements on the need of pre paredness for national defense. He is a former Omahan. Rack for the Other. "It ta no longer a question of 'every man tor hlmaelf and the devil take thai hind moat,' " Mr. Eatabrook aald. "The maxim by which every man may now aafely live and die, a maxim of Invariable and Inevitable succesa, ta "Each for the other, and alt together." "This declaration of Interdependence holds good becauae our people, nation and deailny are one. Nobody ran Injure or help any one of us without affecting all of us the same way. Therefore, the middle weit as well as all other parts of tho United Bute, atanda ready to fight against possible foreign eiiemle. "Only Meallats dream of world peace through treaties of disarmament, negotia tions of diplomacy and adjudications of International court." he continued. He lauded the principles upon which the na tion was founded, and declared king to be "monstroaltk. conjured out of pande monium the idols of heathendom made manifest In the flesh." Therefore, he argued, America would never conaent to being ruled by kings, and mankind will never realise tho dream of the parliament of man and the fedoratlon of the world, until kings are forever banished from the eatth.

J, Bryan as a "wandering voice," in whose wis dom he did not believe, and whose sin cerity he did not question, because it was not worth arguing. "But nonrealatance would be better than half-preparedness," he conceded. "We had better scrap all our ships and una, If we do not add to them, M'llaoaa Idea A beard. "Wilson's too proud to fight' Idea Is the absurd and puerile notion of an es timable but mistaken gontleman, and It Is murderous stupidity to think that a cltlsen soldiery could defend the country against the trained fighters of Asia or Europe. "Our duty Is to defend against both machinations and attacks. We are permit ted no alternative. We must forthwith spend money for defense, and lots of It. We must know that we are safe from even the temptation of attack. Our peace and future happineas depends upon this asst. ranee. "In the words and with the experience of a statesman, soldlor and patiiLt, IVash- Ington said. To prepare for war la one of the moat effective ways of preserving peace. A free people should not only be armed, but disciplined. To that end a uni form and well adjusted plan Is requis ite.' " Asserting- that the recommendations of military experts should bn followed snd that the sole purpose should not be con quest, but only self-defense, the speaker said the United States should start prepa rations at once, "without much debut and regardless of coat" Waata Blsj Navy. "It means, obviously, a big navy," he said, "a navy aa big as aiy navy la the world, with every flying, diving, amphlbl i-us auxiliary that can add to Its effective ness, and with munitions and means for at least one year's campaign always In cold storage. ' And It means sill the officers and men neceaaary, men of brains and technical skill, to get whom the government must outbid ths market. Insurance against at tack wll cost money, but It Is worth the price." further outlining his Ideas for da- fense, Mr. Estobrouk said that the navy should have a large merchant marln as auxiliary. He said a "small standing army" of about twice the sis of the present army should be "only a decimal of an inefficient reserve army, subject to a hurry call." The state militia should be under federal domination, he said. It closed with criticism of state's rights and local or provincial govern ment, and of parties that stand for It He declared that the La KoUette act will soon put out of buslneas the few merchant ships remained under United States registry, and that th law Is th "stupidest pleoe of legislation In our his tory." Feels at liana. His opening remarks were that he re gretted that he could not belong to a university olub, as he did not graduate from a college or unlveralty, nor In fact from a bitrh school, as he lea the Omaha High school when 1 years of age In order to marry. "And yet" be said. "I somehow feel very much at home la this particular aca demic grove, because nobody In Omaha could hold hlmaelf so aloof that I would not feel near to him. "It transpires that I recently received three Invitations te speak In Omaha, from three different organisations, all for ahput the same date.

Joe Btecher, Nebraska's wreatling Idol, had Just finished putting on a Utile ex hibition with hi brother, Anton Wednes day night at he mlllkn-dollar Kontenelle hotel, before a crowd of aeveral hundred bankera In convention here this week. When he finished, the roar of approba tion that came from the throat of the moneyed men waa like the approach of a tornado. With Ma bath robe' wrapped cloeely about hla splendid figure, he bucked his way through the tidal wave of Ne- I braaka'a wealth as it approached to eelxa his handa In congratulation. "Oh, Joe!

North Church Has Big Prayer Meeting Attributed directly to th effects of the "Billy" Sunday meetings, "he attendance at the weekly prayer meeting of the North Presbyterian church Wednesday night was the largeat In the hlatory of the church organisation. Aa a rule the attendance at the Wednes day night prayer meetings runs around twenty-five to thirty.

Songs were sung from the Rodeheaver hymn book, and after a short address by the pastor. Rev. M. V. Hlgbee, an opportunity was given trail hitters to give their experiences. Later In the evening the trail hitters met the members of the church session and pre pared for admission Into church member hip next Sunday morning.

IRON FALLS ON FOOT AMPUTATION NECESSARY While working tn a Junk yaral at Fourth and Davenport streets, T. Kalnea suf fered a crushed foot which will have to be amputated when a large block of iron fell from a derrick directly on the member. Kalnea was runhed to St Joseph's hospital, where his condition Is regarded sa serious. "Say. bo," he whined. "T'aln't ot a looee dime In yer dick, haa yerT" It was the second appeal during the night, and the writer hurried on, un heeding. Dimes are scarce In the news paper game. "I la gettln' too cold to sleep outside, bo' an a dime buys a flop Inside," the mendi cant wheedled, keeping step. There was something familiar about the persistence. Reaching for a dime and turning to give It to the weaaened, decrepit wreck of humanity, the writer experienced shock as he saw the beggar's face more! clearly. It was Toung Kid (name withheld pur posely). Five years ago the Kid, too, stood In a padded ring, with men of money and fame cheering him like mad. and fighting for Introductions. He was a comer then, and in all the! .state of Illinois and several surrounding states, there was no lightweight or weltor who could stand up against him for ten rounds. Nono save the cham pions, snd they dodged him. Like Btecher, Toung Kid was the Idol of a big section of the country. His name stood tall on the sporting pages, and a bright future stood before him.., Dut Toung Kid never got to be champion, though he stood next In rank. He couldn't stand the rush of pros perity. Another "comer" got him one night, after the Kid had a session with the fast life. Then another, and another. After that Toung Kid couldn't get any battles at all. except with Old Demon Boose, and as he eagerly snatched the proffered dime last night. It was apparent that he had lost his fight with drink, too.

Old Folks Need "Cascarets" for Liver, Bowels ' SaltS. C&lOmel. Dills &Ct On bOW- . ' els like pepper acts in nostrils. Enjoy life! Don't stay bilious, sick, headachy and constipated. Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. Tha condition Is jerfectly natural. .It Is Just aa natural as It is for old people to walk slowly. For age Is never so active as youth The muscles are less elastic And the bowels are muscles. , . Soalt old people need Cascarets. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This is Important at all ages, but never an much as at fifty. Age Is not a time for harsh physics. Ton may occasionally whip the bowel Into activity. But a lash can't be used every day. What the bowels of the old need Is a gentle and natural tonlo. One that can be constantly used without harm. Th only such tonic Is Cascarets, snd they cost only It ceita per bo at any drug store.

The conference was held In Omaha at the Studebaker branch. Vice President Oilier explained the pur pos of the conference as being to com pare notes on selling methods that had been found most efficacious. Also that the Studebaker dealers In this territory might have an opportunity of exchanging Ideas with the large distributors who are accompanying Mr. Oilier on this trip. Leara Coatdltlone Here. Mr. Keller, local Studebaker manager. explained to the visitors conditions In this territory and gave some valuabled hints and suggestions to the eastern dis tributors.

We regard the credit of the Italian Government as excellent and these notes as unusually attractive. The total annual Interest charges on the national debt amount to only about $3.28 per capita. The two conversion privileges give Important rights of which the purchaser Can avail himself later If he desires. Italy, with a population of about 36,000,000, has today a national debt of about $3,247,400,000, or about $90 per capita. The Government owns about 76 of the railroad mileage of the country. It also owns all telegraph and substantially all telephone lines. These public utilities represent an in-; ; ' vestment of about $1,396,000,000. If this portion of the debt, represented by productive assets, be deducted, the net national debt would be $1,851,300,000, or $51 per capita. Italy's record for the last fifty years has been one of notable achievement. It has shown con-' tinuous increases in population, wealth and education, extraordinary gains in commerce . and industry and a strong and steadily improving national credit. The year before the 2 war its Syiylg consols sold as high as 98, placing its credit among the highest of European; nations. v ' - i Savings deposits in Italian banks show constant gains !

The proceeds of these notes will be expended for merchandise and commodities purchased by the Italian Government In this country.
