THE BEE: OMAHA, TRIDAi, JUNE i. 1917. DYNAMITER WANTS ' ! IIDDIES REVEL IN ' SMALL CANDY STORE (25$ fe5) &5) (25 12 5 Everything the Youngster De .light In Meets Their Gaze as They Enter Its Realms. ' By A. R. GROH. Do you know the toy'n'candy store nun? Oh, he'f a wonderful man. You will find him in various places along North Twenty-fourth street, on Vin ton street, on South Thirteenth street, on the South Side. His stoVe is a curiosity shop, a wonderland fe children. Every few minutes you can hear the patter of little feet and the sound of childish voices. Then into the front dooij tumble several youngsters, all excitement over the penny they hive tn snend. - "Have you any penny blues?" they" ask. Or, How much re these? Long ing eyes survey the contents of the randy case and the momentous deci sion is finally made, perhaps to "take two all-day suckers. The toy'n'candy store man doesn't get excited. He givea over the two all-day suckers and the youngsters tumble cut, to divide the tweets and give themselves over to contented sucking. eandy Man ia Fat. The tov'n'candy store man is fat. lie doesn't wear, a collar and in warm weather he doesn't wear a -coat.. His suspenders seem to have a big job holding up his ample pants. He wears glasses with steel rims. I don't know when he sleeps, for' he seems to be in the store at all hours , of the day and night and Sundays. The window of his store it typical of the inside of the ttore. It con taint all sorts of things. , There are base balls and bats and shoe ttringt and fish lines, and "bob- ' ben," painted in bright colors, and boxet of fishing hooks and tops and boxes of marbles -"commies" and "agates" beads on a card marked "5 cents," two trays of gold rings fit 10 cents each, toilet powder, toy pis tols, leather pocketbooks. memoran dum booksl boxes of cracker- -jack, a jar. of unpopped popcorn, cans jf soap for machinists, toy brooms, a picture book called "My Very Kirst Book," postcards, pipes, tobacco. Latest Popular Songs. On a string across the window hang the "latest popular songs" 1 brightly lithographed "Come Along to Carolina," with a picture of a girl in a rathe ftut-of-style hat and dress sitting on the observation platform, evidently enroute to Carolina; "When the Southern Moon Is Swinging Low," and others of the same ilk. Oh, there's almost nothing that the ! toy'n'candy store man teems to lack. When he goes behind the counter in the ttore you can hardly see him for the cases of candy and chewing gum and the standing cards filled with padlocks and corn salve and can openers that stand on top of. the .nnntpr and show case. - And above these a wire runs the length of the store on which hang ; by clothes pins sheet! of "popular songs," advertiserpents and pairs of cotton gloves. -, The toy'n'candy store man sells magailnes, papers, cigars and tobac co. But principally his customers. ar children. The store is seldom ; without itt juvenile customers. There ' it a mark along the front window where they have pressed theit noses - against the glass. ' , It it safe to say that, m the eyes V of the little customers, the glory of the toy'n'catdy store man it far be- ( yond the glory of- princes and poten tates. ' U. S.

Marvis of Bel grade, Neb., as he walked into the Omaha navy recruiting station and dropped a heavy grip into the cor ner. The room waf cleared in an instant. After some moments of de liberation and lot-casting two of the recruiters approached Marvis and pro ceeded with the usual queries. "I can't start work right now,' he added, "be cause I have a thousand pounds of dynamite on hand that I have to get rid of some of it is there in the Valise." His occupation . is that of clearing land by blowing up stumps of trees and blasting clay banks. - Since April I the army has re cruited 277 men in Omaha. The full quota is 744. This means that 467 still are to be enrolled. These fig ures do not include men enlisted at the "solicitation of ' Father Mjchael Bluba, because men are not counted until they are dispatched for training at Fort Logan, Colo. ' Recruits to Parade. Alt the army, navy, marine and National Guard recruits will parade Saturday night. Dr. Clark's Tangier Temple Fife- and Drum corps, the Christopher Columbus society'! band, the Pe-stomce band, the Fourth. Regi ment hand and the High School Cadet band have all volunteered their serv ices and it is planned to wind up the parade at 9 o'clock with a con cert on the court house lawn. En sign Rayley of the navy has virtu ally completed all arrangements to make this the feature of the campaign for recruits. Dr. Clark's fife and drum corps will parade with the re cruits from all the stations Friday at noon. Volunteer bands are wanted at the army headquarter, for service at nqon hour every day. Weather Clears and Sun Shines; Trains on Time The t weather has cleared out through the state and over in Iowa' and again warm sunshine is the rule, according to the reports of the rail roads. While some of the roads sustained considerable damage by flood waters, only the Wabash is out of commis sion. The storm damage sustained by this road will be repaired and regular service will be resumed tonight. The Wabash was badly hit in northern Missouri, where several stretches of track and a couple of bridges were washed out. , The damage to the Union Pacific's Lane Cutoff was repaired last night and one of the tracks is being used. The other will be in service Friday. 'Trains on most of the roads are run ning late. The trouble is due to soft roadbed over the low lends that are soaked with water. There-was no rain last night any-1 where in Nebraska, temperatures ol 40 degrees were: recorded, in three places, svhich is pretty low for June. But the weather forecast is for warm er and some good "growing" weather for the crops is expected. - t Expensive Suit Starts . . - Over a Triflina Sum Suit for the smallest amount ever asked in the local division of the fed eral court was filed Thursday, when tile Omaha railroad sued John Camp bell of Wynot, Cedar county, Neb., tor j.b. The expense of the United States deputy marshal in serving notice on Campbell in the suit was $7.68. The plaintiff deposited $10 with the clerk of the court as a preliminary to start ing tne suit, l nese are but the begin nings of expenses which will run into the -hundreds of dollars aside from at torneys' fees. : The plaintiff states that it trans- fiorted a carload of household goods or the plaintiff r from James, la. to Obcrt, Neb.1, in March. 1914. and that. through an error he was"charged only $47.95 instead of the legal charge of $51.82, and that he has refused to pay the difference. , The little suit Is filed partly to avoid possible prosecution for rebating and partly to serve as an object lesson to any who seek to avoi'i payment of freight charges. Booze and Meat Swell '' County Hospital Bill Taxpayers who sat ud and took no tice when they read in The Bee that the expenses at the county hospital for April this year were nearly double those or the corresponding month in 1916 probably wondered what kind of meat the patients are eating. The meat bill for April thit year after a change in management when the democrats took control increased nearly 300 per cent over a vear aso. nnoiner imcresimg uem was tne booze bill for April. In preparation for "the lonir drought the county hospital laid in a big supply of whisky, wine and al- conol.
