Dr. John Flood came to Omaha to es tablish a school for muslo and fine arts, and also for the purpose of editing: a magazine to be devoted to art and muslo, a publication which wac to be national in scope. ' Artlat Broaaht Omaha. He received the encouragement ot O. y', Ilnlnircr, through whose indorsement a school was opened In the Bee building;. J. Laurie Wallace was brought to Omaha and made art director of the new school. It was Dr. Flood's purpose to make the -Illustrated World the official organ ot the woman's section of the Columbian exposition at Chicag-o. The Illustrated World, of which only the one number waa published, was the result of his ef forts to establish such a journal. On the advice ot Mr. Llnlnger Dr. Flood secured Mr. Elgutter to edit the first number. The first number met with con siderable success, which was due In some measure to the fact that It had aa a frontispiece a cut of the famous painting, "The Return of Spring," which at the time was receiving much attention In art ircles everywhere by reason of Its muti lation while on exhibition in Omaha. The 111 health of Dr. Flood and the loss of financial expectations In establishing tnese institutions resulted la the cessa tion of tha Illustrated World with the first number and the discontinuation of i i the School of Fine Arts.'

P. Tukey eV Son. Jones adjusted his glasses, and looked the fellow over.-, "There," said the stranger,, and he threw a handsome set of dark brown furs on the table. Huge muff and neck piece the set consisted of, and, ch, how rich and brown they looked. "These go at your own price," said the stranger. "I don't want to pick them up off that table again. If you'll give me half what they're worth. That's up to you. If you want them speak quick. If not, I'll be on my way. I'm out here broke and tha house has called me back to New Tork. I must leave for the east today. These are my samples, and I'm going to let them go. "What do I want for them?

Still tha real estate man was unmoved. "No." said the stranger, "I can't sell them to you for that. I'll tell you what, though, I need that $10, and I'll leave the furs with you for security. Here's my card. Will you give me your word that when I write for the furs and re turn the $10 to you, you" will forward the furs back' to me at New Tork?" Jonea promised. The stranger thanked him for loaning him the $10 on the furs and bowed out of the door. The real estate man blew on tire furs again. Again the rich brown disclosed Itself.
