GIRLS, THREE MORE
DAYS LEFT FOR YOD
This Present Leap Year is Go
ing Fast and'Then Chance
is Gone.
ANOTHER IN FOUR YEARS
By A. R. GROH.
"Why don't you write up the fact
that there are only three more days
left in leap year?" a certain bache
lor asked me.
I hadn't thought of the idea, but
it struck me' favorably. And, oh,
girls, when I had looked into this
bachelor's eyes I felt it was nothing
less than a duty, a positive duty,
It would have touched your hearts,
too, girls. There was a sort of look
of ebbing hopes, of dumb despair,
the mute loneliness that the bachelor
must bear.
He had been cheerful earlier in the
year, when hope beat high. But now,
with only three days left, his disap
pointment was such that he could not
conceal it. No bride had come . to
claim him for her own.' No fair
maidetwhad asked him to be hers.
"It's a mighty good idea," 1 said
cheerfully. "I'll write it up. Mebby
it'll do some good. Lots of fine girls
read The Bee.
So I comforted him. And here,
you see, it is, all written up.
Only Three Days.
Three days! That's a short time,
girls. Still, much can happen in
three days. Three seconds is long
enough time to ask a question, you
know.
Before their lonely riresidies sit W,
Farnam Smith. Earl Gannett, Dr. W.
O. Bridges, Jerry Howard, "Ben"
Warren, Stockton Heth, Robert
Burns, Harry Koch, Dr. Leroy Crunv
mer and a 'ost of other of our citi
zens. Kood, sober, substantial men
who would make hrst-class husbands.
Oh, think of this, girls, and do not
harden your hearts.
It really is your duty to do the pro
posing. 1 he wisest men know that
man is merely clay in your hands.
You let him fondly fancy that he is
the "big noise." You find it easiest
to handle him that way. the -vis
dom of a thousand generations of
man-managers has taught you that a
little natterv to vour vain lord and
master" (silent laughter) goes a long
way. And this is as it should be. You
are the conservator of the race. You
should be the one to choose the man
you want to bind to your chariot
wheels.
First Leap Year.
The first leaD year law was passed
in Scotland in the year 1288. "It is

still, U sweet and gentle creatures,
there are many unclaimed bachelors
in Umana.
Some of them conceal their anxiety
under a cloak of jesting.,' "l have es.

gerated gaiety. But, ah, there is a
hollow ring in it that bespeaks the
desoair that is in their hearts as hope
ebbs with every passing day.
When they are alone at nome then
thev drop their masks. Then they
dream of the happiness ot a home and
a loving wife and all that sort of
tinner, von know.
Ah, if this, write-up rescues even
one bachelor from his loneliness it

"I made several trips to the Wal

Beauty.
There is an old saying that beauty
is only skin deep, but that is far from
the truth. Beauty is tounded on good
health without that there is no real
beauty. You can cover up a muddy
or sallow complexion with face pow
der, but it will not be beautiful. A
homely woman in good health is
usually mgre interesting and more
charming than' a - bilious dyspeptic
beauty. , Constipation and a sluggish
liver impair good looks. If you are
troubled in this way take Chamber
lain's Tahlets and voa will soon be
looking better and feeling better.

FARMERS BUY MORE
AUTOS, LESS TOOLS
Indications Art; Machinery
Sales Will Show railing Off
for the Last Year.
MUST BUT NEXT TEAS
It is estimated by W. D, Hosford
of the John beere Flow company
that the total sales of implements
during the year will show little, if
any, above last year's record, and that
it may be a trifle below. . 1
This Mr. Hosford attributes to the
heavy sales of automobiles which
brought about a drain upon tbe farm
ers. ' "Indications are," said Mr. Hos
ford. "that so many farmers bought
automobiles, this year that they made
their old farm machinery do through
the year as far as possible in ,order
to meet the cost of an automobile.
Next year we confidently look for the
biggest year in the history of the im
plement business in Omaha. It is
olain that if they made their old ma
chinery do this year they cannot make
it do again next year, and that is the
year they will nave to buy imple
ments." The imolement men are well satis
fied, however, with the year's business,
and say it was a prosperous one, even
if the vqlume did not pile up higher
than last year.

Buffalo Meat is Cooked
Like Other Kinds of Game
lake Rosoff, proprietor of the Pub
lic and Empress markets, received
from Fort Pierre, S. D., a buffalo,
parts of which will adorn many tatles
on New Year's day. The -carcass
weighed 1,830 pounds.
Mr. Rosoff has received so many
inquiries as to the proper way to cook
buffalo meat that he has made the
following statement:
"It should be bandied the same as
any wild game. Roasts should be
cooked two and one-half hours with
plenty of water over' them and then
let steam for two hours to get the
proper tenderness and flavor. Steaks
should be cooked a little longer than
ordinary steaks. If this buffalo meat
is tough it is the fault of the. cook
and not of the meat This buffalo
was 5 years old and one of the best
ever shipped to this market."
Clever Crook Collects
A Money from Housewives
Threes-Omaha housewives within
the last two days have been victims
of a clever swindler at work in resi
dential districts at what is known to
the police as the "reuben blue." Mrs,
Helen Bennett, 617 South Sixteenth
street, lost $10, as did Mrs. R. Ro
land, 2219 South Seventeenth street
Mrs. Lutie Davis, 1715 Cass, was
miked of ?5.
"Reuben Blue" calls at the houses
and tells the housewives that he has
for sale, at very low prices, eggs,
meats and choice vegetables ' fresh
from the farm. His wagon is "just
around the corner" and he takes their
order and their money. Then he
vanishes. - , s
Police officials have a good descrip
tion of the man and detectives are at
work on the case.
NO OMAHAN WANTED

Committee Which Brought the
Bank Here Would Bar Lo
cal Directors.
GIVE OTHER CITIES CHANCE
If any Omaha man wants to get
on the board of directors of the pro
posed Omaha federal farm loan bank
he will receive no encouragement
from the Omaha committee which
worked so hard to get a land bank
here. .The committee feels' that get
ting the bank is enough for Omaha
and that the directorate should be .
chosen from other cities within the
district, such as Lincoln, Des Moines
and some South Dakota or Wyoming
cities. -
This was brought out at a meeting
of the committee held at noon in tbe
Commercial club rooms to jolly one
another on the good fortune they had
in getting i bank for Omaha.
" A telegram was (hen sent to the
Federal Harm Loan board at Wash
ington as follows:

property was acquired some months

Faithful Democrats
Ready to Fill Jobs
In New Land Bank
A lot of Omaha democrats could
not go to sleep last night, so deep
were their thoughts concerning the
new federal farm loan bank which
has been awarded to Omaha. The
situation carries with it several choice
appointments with which they hope
the democratic administration will re
member its own.
When the bank shall have been
established here in fact, it will be
necessary to have somebody - in
charge. A story comes from Wash
ington to the effect that Arthur Mul
len, national committeeman, while
there sought to groom Chris Gruen
ther for the job. Chris abides at
Columbus and stands ace-high with
the Mullen wing of the Nebraska
democracy. He was campaign man
ager for, Senator Hitchcock during the
recent vote-getting contest and a sort
of entente cordiale exists between .
Messrs. -Hitchcock, Mullen and
Gruenther. But the suggestion is
said to have been rebuffed as being
impregnated with too much politics.'
Carol S. Montcotnerv. anothar
democratic wheel horse, has ' been
mentioned for tbe place and Frank G.
Odell's name has Seen heard in con-'
nection with a position of some kind
in the federal farm loan bank service.

Congestion in East -,
Worse Than West
"Congestion may be great on the
western lines; in fact it is so great
we have deemed it expedient to de
clare an embargo, but the Union Pa
cific is like a lily pond compared to
the railroads in the east," declares
Charles Lane, general freight agent
of the Union Pacific, who has just
returned from a short Christmas va
cation at Grand Rapids. '
"In Detroit" said Lane, "there are
25,000 cars and that terminal is com
pletely plugged up. It is impossible
to bo through the town. The con
gestion is simply appalling. And
that congestion in Detroit, of course,
affects all points east ,
"You know they say home is the
place you get the best and Of which
you complain the most That's the
way witn our western roads. Out
here we complain of the congestion
on our own roads, but the Union Pa
cific is free and clear compared to the
roads in the east"
