Arriving here he decided not to en list because his parents refused their consent. He was then told that he would have to refund the $2 advanced by the government. That got Ras tus all peeved. He declared what he was going to do and started for the marshal's office. The marshal, being apprised by telephone that Rastus was on the way, was ready for him. Rastus was back at the navy office in short or der. He paid over the $2, remarking simply, "Ah ain't goin' to be shot at sunrise foh no measly $2." MERCHANTS' TOK VERYWESSFDL Jobbers and Wholesalers Say Crowd Was Bigger and More Liberal Than Ever. KETUKN AGAIN IN THE FALL With a larger crowd of visiting merchants here than ever before, and with those visiting merchants buying more freely and more liberally of the stocks for the spring and summer trade than ever before, the most suc cessful Merchants' Market week Omaha has yet held has come to a close. All the wholesalers are more than pleased with the results. On the sec ond and third days of the week the market was really taxed to care prop erly for the trade, while the entertain ment committee of Merchants' Mar ket week was somewhat puzzled as to how to handle the crowds with the quarters and equipment they had planned to carry on the entertain ment features. The wholesale houses were packed with merchants who wanted to be waited upon, and though special forces of competent clerks had been employed, the crowd was it times almost unwieldy. Aa for the entertainment features, there were 691 by actual count who took advan tage of the theater party at the Or pheum as the guests of the wholesal ers, and when the evening of prise distribution and the supper dance at the Hotel Fontenelle came the crowds absolutely packed the huge banquet ana diii room mere ana overflowed Into the halls.
