A regular 6-cent tobacco cigar was In Ms teeth when he started talking, but as he warmed to his subject, he got excited and commenced chewing. "Tke that Northwestern depot at Fif teenth and Webster. That's a riot.

Federal Red Tape Proves Hardship to Former Sailor Lad .Because governmental "red tape" is causing distress to an invalid who gave the -best of his young life to his country, county authorities, through J. M. Ieldy, administrator of charities, are making things warm In Washington. Mrs. W. R. Adams of the Visiting Nurses' association, attracted Mr. Leldy's attention to the case of James H. Bracken, 231? South Twenty-first street who contracted tuberculosis while serv ing his seoond enlistment In the navy. At the federal hospital at Bremerton, Wash., navy physicians urged him to ap ply for discharge papers and get a pen sion. This was done several months ago. and Pracken came to Omaha to live with a sister-lnlaw. Now he Is deprived of hospital rare and his salary and la not getting his pension. Mr. Leidy has written to Congressman Iobeck asking lilm to hasten things along, and Mr. Loteck has already started unwinding the "tape."

RAILROADS TRIM 0MAHA0NCE MORE This Time it is Discriminating' in Faror of Kansas City in Sum mer Tourist Rates. REASON FOR SUCH IS PUZZLE Once again has Omaha been handed the well known triple cross by the .railroads. This time It Is a rase of discrimination In tourist passenger rates. In the recent lineup of tourist rates by the Western Passenger as sociation a manifest example of dis crimination against Omaha In favor of Kansas City is found. During the approaching tourist season the round trip rate between Kansas City and Chita go on business east of Chi cago will be $18.10. The short line between Kansas City and Chicago is a distance of 4 51 miles. On the same class of business the round trip rate between Omaha and Chicago is l?4.10. The short line between Omaha and Chicago la a dlstano of 458 mllos. Over Three Dollars More. Thus'parties going east out of Omaha on tourists' rates will pay IS.60 more on their round-trip tickets than those going east out of Kansas City, although the distance from Omaha to Chicago Is only thirty-six miles greater than the dis tance between Kansas City and Chicago. A similar discrimination against Omaha applies on westbound passenger business out of Chicago. For instance from Chicago to San Fran cisco and return the rate Is 172 50. From Omaha the round-trip rate is 160. Thus a passenger buying a round-trip ticket from Chicago pays $12.50 for that part of the Journey between Chicago and Omaha and back again. From Omaha west there Is no corresponding reduction. Another discrimination against Omaha applies to southern business. Recently the railroads made a round trip rate of S.11 from Kansas City to Jacksonville, Fla. On the same date the rate to Jack sonville from Omaha was $50.68. notwith standing that the round trip rate between Omaha and Kansas City without any re duction at all is $8 81. On thla occasion Kansas City had an advantage of nearly $10 over Omaha on Florida business. No I.oarlcal Reason. Omaha passenger officials can advance no reason whatever for this evident dis crimination. It la merely the result of arbitrary rulings by the Western Pas senger association which makes Kansas City a rcte basing point and Ignores Omaha. Rates applying to Omaha are made with Chicago as a basing point. Why Kansas City should be a rate basing point and why Omaha Is not is a mystery to the local passenger traffic men that apparently has no solution be yond the fact that It seems to be a popular pastime of the railroad men to hang the triple cross sign on Omaha in favor of Kansas City every time an op portunity presents Itself. Twelve Miles of . , Window Front in Stores of Omaha A ten or twelve-mile front Is some front even for a battle Una In a big war. A ten or twelve-mile front la Just what the specially decorated windows of the retail stores of Omaha are to have for the "Week of Wonderful Windows." Which opens the evening of March 90. Thla Is probably more display space than any other community In the United States possesses. In actual feet, Omaha has 60,000 to 60,000 running feet of window display space. This does not mean square feet, but it means feet of frontage for display pur poses. m THE new two-button English model is individual. Strikingly, but not glaringly different.

The Peaceful MILLS CAPTURES EXPERT RAISER Splits and Doctors Genuine Bills to Give Them Much Higher Denomination. AND HE HAS HORNY HANDS A $50 bill and a 15 bill were con verted Into $100 by Mike Pit tentccshto by a new and original process. Mike was trailed and captured by Hugh Mills of Omaha, government secret service agent. The capture took place In Des Moines and Plt tenlccshlo Is now In Jail under $5,000 bond. 1 The man did his work with an artistic finish worthy of a more honest end. He took a genuine ' $60 bill and split the face from the back. Then he took a genuine $S bill and split Its face from its back. Next he pasted the $B back on the back of the $50 face. He took certain other figures and letters from certain other bills of small denomination and pasted rnem In proper places on the $6 back In order to make it look like the real bark of his $50 bill. Then he took the back of the genuine $no bill and pasted it on the back of his real $6 bill and "doctored" it up with a few figures and lettera cut from other genuine bills. By this process he made about $40 on each transaction. He passed six of the bills before Mills captured him, together with his whole outfit. He is a big-handed fellow with stubby fingers and calloused palms, says Mills, and apparently little fitted to do the wonderfully delicate work involved in splitting hills apart and fitting them together with paste. m: Kit.

"CVStRYBODrVl STORK" I Home C oming General Pershing's Son is at Lincoln The following, clipped from the society columns of the Lincoln Star, gives some interesting Information about the pa thetic little figure of Warren Pershing, the sole survivor of the family of Gen eral Pershing, when Warren's mother and little sisters were burned to death in the Presidio fire early last winter: "Miss Mary Pershing returned Thurs day from San Antonio, where she went about six months ago to be with her brother.

She brought with her General Pershing's son. Warren, who will remain with his aunts. Mrs. D. M. But ler and Mlsa Pershing. Miss Pershing ays that many of the wives of the officers are leaving Ban Antonio, while the men are on duty In the field."
