Tales of Smart Folk Retold.
"Little Tales About the Great and
the Near Great" let us call today's
effusion. Two tales will be told, one
shockingly scandalous and the other
sweetly sentimental. First hear ye
the tale of the scandalized toll keeper:
One cold winter night at 2 o clock
in the morning an electric carrying
two passengers rolled across the
Douglas street bridge from Omaha
to Council Bluffs. The toll keeper
knew that car; its owners were fre
qpent patrons of the toll bridge. He
stepped forward to take his tax with
never a thought of anything wrong,
but as the door opened he started
back in horror, for a strange man had
opened the door of that car. He
peered into the machine and saw
there the familiar face of the woman
who owned it. With an air of deep
disapproval he accepted his money
and the electric went its way.
The explanation of this little scan
dal it simple. Milord, of Council
Pluffs, was away on a business trip.
Milady had been invited to share in
some Omaha gayety and, nothing
loth, had accepted. When after that
hour of night's black arch the key
stone" the company separated, i gal
lant gentleman offered to accompany
Milady to her home. Since the night
was cold enough to freeze engines,
they decided to avoid trouble by leav
ing the gentleman's car in Omaha
and to go home iu the electric. That
is why the poor tollkeeper was scan
dalized and has ever afterward re
garded Milady with dark suspicion.
Fair women and brave men, do
your hearts beat reminiscently at the
thought of your first love? One con
firmed Omaha bachelor in the ranks
of professional men is having reason
to have palpitation of the heart at
the thougat ot the first pretty maiden
who captured his affections. Since
that first time, be it said, the man has
been captured innumerable times, but
from each affair he has extricated
himself - with remarkable success.
Now, however, with hit spirit at
tuned to romance he hat been con
fronted with the love of hit early
youth. Let us call the young woman
in question Marget. Hit confession
is this: "Marget was my first love
and 1 have a mind to mal e her my
last. It takes two, though, to make
a .bargain and Marget doesn't seem
to be overly eager to be a party to
it." But

Seventy-Year-Old Lady Wants
to Follow Thief Into an
Alley.
THRILLING TAXICAB RACE
A thrilling pursuit in a uxicab re
sulted in the recovery of an automo
bile owned by Mrs. H. J. Hackett,
4622 Bedford avenue.
When Mrs. Hackett discovered her
car had been stolen she leased a taxi
cab and in company with her 70-year-old
mother began a still hunt of
her own about town. At Twenty
fourth and Leavenworth streets she
spied her car with a single man occu
pant She immediately gave pursuit.
The thief saw her and the race was on.
The thief attempted to escape his
pursuers by deviating in his path
many times, but the taxicab contain
ing the rightful owner always kept
him in sight and even began to gain
on him. At Twenty-second and Pop-
pleton avenue the tmet gave it up as
a bad job, took advantage of a mo
mentary opportunity as the pursuing
taxicab was several feet away, stopped
the machine, leaped from it and made
his escape up an adjacent alley.
Mrs. Hackett's aged mother was
eager to continue pursuit of the thief
on foot and would have gone after
him herself if Mrs. Hackett had not
restrained her.

SAVIDGE DEMANDS
APOIM AT ONCE
Writes Letter to Proprietors of
Underworld, Demanding Im
mediate Restitution.
THREATENS COURT ACTION
Averring that he will not rest un
til restitution has been made for
charges he says were made against
him by a man who ejected him from
the Underworld saloon and dance
hall Saturday night, Rev. Charles W.
Savidge has written to the proprie
tors ot the place a letter in which he
makes the demand that apoligies be
forthcoming within proper time or he
will take the matter before the courts
of the city.
frightiul words were said against
the character of my dead mother,"
declared the minister, "and 1 will not
rest until restitution has been made."
Mr. Savidge this morning visited
the police station before sending his
letter to the owners of the resort.
The minister is trying to identify the
rman who performed the "bouncing."
folice, however, were unable to give
him any aid owing to the .neager de
scription the preacher gives of the
man. Mr. Savidge is not even sure
whether the man was clean-shaven or
whether he wore a mustache. His
meager description was that he was
dark, was about 40 years old and
weighed anywhere -from 145 to 165
pounds.
Writes, to Proprietors.
Because he does not know the iden
tity of the man who he says ejected
him, the minister addressed his let
ter to the proprietors of the place.
His letter reads in part:
1 went into your saloon on Sat
urday e.ening. When you saw me
taking notes ot the doings in there.
you came to me and ordered me from
your place. You followed close on
my heels and witn imprecations and
curses and fierce gestures you drove
me from your place. At certain
points you laid hands on me and i
have been kept awake a number of
nights with a hand and finger that is
seriously damaged.
Must Retract Charges.
You made three charges against
me that I desire satisfaction for. The
first was as 1 left you spoke some
frightful words against the character
of my dead mother. You held up her
name and her character to the vilest
reproach that human mind can con
ceive or vile lips utter.

licly proclaimed that while I wore
the garb of a minister and posed as
a preacher of righteousness that I
was as vile a wretch as ever dis
graced the handiwork of God. You
made the statement that my relations
to the brides at whose marriage altar
1 presided was vile in the extreme.
"Just outside of your door you
grasped my cane and with your face
within a few inches of mine and your
features white with rage and your
teeth clenched you declared with a
loud voice that you now proposed to
cut open my bowels and throw my
dead body on the dump of the city.
"I now ask that you come to me
in person and that you confess these
things, that you ask my forgiveness
and the forgiveness of God and that
you make such other restitution as
this case demands, and if -you do not
do it in a proper time I shall bring
you before the courts of this city, for
I propose to know whether I am liv
ing on the confines of hell or whether
I have cast my lot in a decent, civ
ilized and law-abiding city."
