Jots iimiwn a Few of the Short
Sayiifes Just to Give Ton
a Little Laugh.
SOME TALE AS THEY WALK
By A. R. GROH.
' Far be it from me to be an eaves
dropper. I hope I am too much of a
gen'l'm'n for that. But
As one strolls along the streets
among the crowds of people frag
ments of conversation are bound to
reach one's ears. You've noticed that.
And so, just for fun, I jotted down
a few fragments for the very laudable
purpose of giving you a few moments
of enjoyment.
Fragment No. 1. "Well, we'll go
out and see those two little wrens to
night, will we?" This from one of
two youths stationed in front of a
cigar store. ("Stationed" is right.
They're always there.)
Fragment No. 2. "Why didn't you
go over while you was up there?'
No. 3. "No, suh, she ain't mar
ried!" This was uttered by one col
ored man to another. They were
driving along in a- one-horse, ram
shackle wagon at Fifteenth and Doug
las and spoke so loud that all could
hear.
Compliments Weather.
No. 4. "This is quite like Califor
nia." A middle-aged woman to her
(apparent) husband. A compliment
to our weather.
No. 5. "He's a fine fellow; we've
had lots of drinks together." The
dramatis personae here were two men
at Sixteenth and Farnam.
No. 6. "I think we'd better order
five apiece." This from two young
men, walking rapidly down Farnam
street.
No. 7. "The things you've been
hearing about me certainly isn't true."
Thus spoke a woman to a man as the
-unintentional eavesdropper passed
them at Fourteenth and Farnam.
No. 8. "It isn't what we need, it's
what we want that keeps us hustling."
A bit of philosophical wisdom from
the lips of a business man' you would
probably know if I mentioned his
name. He spoke te some other man
as they walked west in front of the
Omaha National bank building.
Just Fine.
No. 9. "Just fine. How're you?"
No. 10. "Don't nag at him for ev
ery little thing he does. 1 wo women
and a 6-year-old boy walking in front
of the Bursress-Nash store. 1 calc -
lated it was the sister of the boy's
mother who did the speaking.
No. 11. 1 dont want to go out
there an make a bad impression.
Two 16-year-old youths, giggling in
tront ot the Beaton drug store ana
evidently discussing a first call at a
house where lives a dear creature.
No. 12. "Mamma was awful sick
last night." Two women, talking.
No. 13. "It don't seem like there's
any justice any more." , Two men.
No. 14. "I wouldn't stand for it."
Two girls.
' No. 15. "She's coming three days
a week and that's all we can get her."
Two women evidently wrestling with
the servant problem.
No. v 16. "Someone's attention
should be called to it." A couple of
improvement-clubbers.
That is all for today, ladies and
: gentlemen. Thanking you, one arid
all, for your kind attention, I bid a
kind good-night.

traveler, is again under arrest, charged
with having impersonated a govern
ment official. He was taken in cus
tody by United State deputy mar
shals under an indictment returned by
the recent grand jury, . Federal offi
cials assert that Gleason, who resides

secret service agent to Miss Jessie
Sulzer, a nurse of Omaha, and that
after he had gain her confidence he in
duced her to give him a valuable dia

This is Gleason's second arrest on

MAN CLAIMS WOMAN
PROPOSED TO HIM
Jury to Hear Case Wherein
Mary Bettner is Suing for a
Breach of Promise.
MAN HAS COUNTER CLAIM
The alleged love affairs of Mary
Bettner and George Alpine are to be
aired in Judge Wakeley's court as
soon as a jury is impanelled.
The woman is the plaintiff in a
breach of promise suit brought against
Alpine, who has a wife in Austro
Hungary. She asks damages to the
amount of $2,999, alleging that he
proposed to her.
Following the filing of the Bettner
woman's petition, Alpine worked into
the records of the clerk of the dis
trict court with a counter claim, ask
ing $5,000 damages from the plaintiff
in the original petition.
His version of the courtship is that
she proposed to him. In his counter
claim Alpine charges that she came
to his house late at night and hu
miliated him in front of his neighbors.
