THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY. AUGUST 28. 197.
- . r &twtWH a ' . C
Omahana in Japan See Monster.
Today Mellificia has a fish styry to
tell you, not an ordinary lake trout
or codfish tale, but a huge tea ser
pent jam. It is a true story, for it
comes from Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Eld
ridge, who have had so many excit
ing adventures in the orient. They arc
now in Yokohoma, and there, the
other day, their rickshaw boy, Minu,
ran into the house very much excited.
"Must come down to, shore and see
big fish," he said.
When they had followed him to the
shore they found that the big fish
vas a huge sea turtle as large as a
Ford car and weighing 1.000 pounds.
Twelve men were required to lift the
monster onto shore. A net mad! of
twine no larger than a casting line
had been used to catch it, It really re
sembled one of the fabulous sea ser
pents with which the art and legends
of oriental people term.
J le Chinese arc very superstitious
about killing a turtle. The fisherman
, who caught this one had sold it to
(some Japanese for 12 yen, ($5). When
it was brought in a group of Chinese
tailors collaborated in the purchase
of the creature'at a greatly advanced
price, lj.OOO yen. Then each, tailor
wrote his name on the back of tlie
turtle' in red paint, towed it out to
sea again between two bbaU and
there let it loose. This act wa sup
posed to bring good luck to the own
ers of the painted names. These, queer
people seem actually to bclievf these
fairy talcs, the Kldridges say.
Hr and Mrs. Eldridgc do. not ex
pect to return to Omaha until 1919.

''Shorty" Hensd, veteran constable

than a quarter of a century in the

'There's more'n one way to skin a

HARD COAL MAY BE
HARDTO OBTAIN
G .M.' Wallace of the Nebraska
Fuel Company Says Omaha
Has Only Thirty Days'
Supply.
Omaha users of anthracite coal, who
have been congratulating themselves
that the government ha stepped into
the coal situation and fixed the price
of coal, will find that there is a joker
in the government's step, according
to George M. Wallace, secretary of
the Nebraska Fuel company. "The
joker is," as said by Mr. Wallace,
"that Omaha people who use hard
coal will not be able to get it. We
have only thirty days supply on hand
now and cannot get more."
Hard coal is produced only in
Pennsylvania," Mr. Wallace said, "and
in line with the governments policy
of conservation there is little chance
that the coal produced in Pennsyl
vania will be shipped through Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, all coal
producing states, to Omaha and Ne-
braskar
Omaha coal men have issued a
warning to Omaha- people who use
anthracite coal and. depend upon it
during the winter, to bu now, be
fore someone else steps in and fills
up bis bin and leaves them out in
the cold.
Many Have No Hard Coal.
Mr. Wallace pointed out that
Omaha coal dealers were not for
tunate in securing hard coal this sum
mer. The local supply of anthracite
is far below normal. At least 75 per
cent of the Omaha dealers have no
hard coal, while others have only a
limited supply. The hard coal now
was obtained early and for much of
it a "premium" was paid.
"If we were forced to get a big
percentage of this hard coal this sum
mer at a premium and then get only
10 per cent of our normal supply at
that, how are we going to get coal
this winter, when we can pay only
the list price as fixed by the govern
ment?" said Mr. Wallace.
Mr. Wallace declared that hard
coal is not the only product affected.
Substitutes for hard coal, such as
coke, spadra and semi-anthracite,
wilt face the same shortagein Omaha
before the winter is over, as hard
coal. Spadra and semi-anthracite are
today in a limited supply. "I cannot
see now Omaha people who depend
upon spadra and semi-anthracite and
coke to carry them through the win
ter in case their hard coal supply
runs short are going to be able to
get these products any easier than
anthracite. ,
To Make Short Haul.
"In lir.e with the government's
policy of conservation is it reason
able to expect that the government
will permit shipping anthracite coal
to Omaha from Pennsylvania, and
spadra and semi-anthracite from Ok
lahoma and Arkansas, when Kansas,
Missouri and Iowa mines are so close?
President Wilson has the power to
fix the zones which will determine
the coal supply and under the law
it is likely that Omaha, with the- rest
ot Nebraska, will have to take its
coal supply from near at hand. Coal
produced by , these . nearby states is
smoky, jwoty and dirty, particular
customers who have never burned
anything but anthracite may not like
it, but' they may have to burn any
thing they can get his winter if they
do pot fill their bins now with their
favorite fuel." ,
Union Precinct Again ; w
Carries Off Blue Ribbon
Union precinct successfuly defended
its eight-year record for superiority in
raising farm.products at the fair of
the Douglas County Agricultural so
ciety last week, when it again carried
off the blue ribbon.' ,

prizes as follows: Jefferson, second;

Then a labor
"tin."
gave "Shorty" a
"Whelan's place is on the state
lm," whispered the informer. "When
you served them papers the squealers
were in Iowa."
"Urn." mused "Shorty."
So the constable and Kennedy
stepped over in Nebraska and made
out another execution.
Then thev filled several pails with
water and loitered over to a trough
just beyond the Nebraska line. -
The hogs and pigs, indifferently
nosing about in rich Iowa mud. heard
some yells aifd saw "Shorty" and
Kennedy pouring the contents of the
pails into the trough. The porkers
thought it was meal timl and bolted
for NebrasRa. -,
When they were all' over the line
the wily constable served the execu
tion again and he and Kennedy drove
the grunters and squealers to their
new home with the men who won
the Lwsuit.
Yes!

l walked mile with Pleasure,
Ebe chattered all tb war.
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne'er a word aaid she;
But oh! the thing's I learned from ber
When Sorrow walked with me.
Robert Browninf Hamilton.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Are you afraid to suffer? If you
fear pain too much to endure it, you
oiness. Sorrow and iov have this in
common they are intense, they lift
humanity out of dullness. The very
largest happiness tak'es in tragedy it
self. And the most frightful tragedy
brings something akin to joy in the
sympathy with life which is a part
of pain.
When Keats wrote "Welcome Joy
and Welcome Sorrow!" he was ex
pressing the fact that the great souls
fear nothing.
For everything life gives us we have
to pay. Think of the supreme sacri
fices motherhood demands. And yet,
what woman who comes back from
the gates of death, with her child in
her arms feels that the price is too
much?
Sacrifice is the thread of melody
which runs through all of life. None
of us can have everything. It. is
necessary to choose wisely to have
a sense of values to know what you
are willing to give op in order that
other things may be added to vou.
To dare splendidly is not to be blind
to the need of paying a heavy price
it is to see the penalty and to realize
that the penalty is not too great.
Life offers to each of us his desire.
We have to be brave enough to take
it. If riches and ease and a social
position means much to a man, do you
suppose he could throw them aside
and go to look for a losfcontinent?
But if finding a new world was a
man's real desire, do you suppose the
knowledge that ne must suffer hard
ships and face death would deter him?
We all, hope to come safely out of
horrible undertakings. But only if
our desire to achieve is great are we
so completely brave that we dare fail
ure and destruction. And if we great
ly dare we go straight toward achieve
ment even where we seem to fail.
It is not easy to sacrifice peace of
mind. It is not pleasant to take up a
burden of uncertainty and terror; but
unless that is endurable we fail to
possess the strength which wins life's
greatest prizes.
Sorrow brings strength and sympa
thy and understanding. The rrian
who can endure sorrow has conquered
himself the conquest of life lies just
ahead. Sorrow and sufferingjare not
too great a price to pay for success.

to Happiness
f Peace of mind is a glorious thing
I it means quiet, comfort, steadv
1. T
nerves ana rest, cut only tne man
who is ready to sacrifice his , peace
of mind can hope to achieve greatly.
Growth always hurts. The very un
rest which drives man to the desire
for growth lacerates him. Ambition
puts an ache of longing into the
heart.
But all sufferings can be endured
j save only one. The loss of peace of
mind and
comfort and friends and
are all endurable. There
happiness
is only one price-that is too big
pay for achievement self respect.
The right to look yourself square in
the eye. and call yourself a free man
or woman the right to take your
place with honest men and women
is the one thing to which vou must
cling unless j-ou can endure the.un
endurable heart hunger of feeling
yourself an outcast and a weakling.
Selling your soul to the devil is
this in its simplest terms: Fajling
your own ideals of decency giving
tip your right to right itself.
If you want to achieve, you must
look the thing squarely in the face
and argue it out with ydurself like
this: "Itjen't be easy. Nothing worth,
wiiue cvrr is. i n nave to tight and
struggle every day and all the time.
I wijl be driven when I want to liV
down and rest. I will be tortured
when I want to bo quiet and calm- I
will have to sacrifice all my little de
sires. I will hav to go on when I am
weary and hungry. I will have to be
misjudged. It won't be easy. It will
mean suffering yes, it will mean
all that. But jt is my biggest possi
bility. I must go after it."
When the first X-ray came into
use and the lead screens to protect the
hand of the operator had not been
invented a man over in Boston enter
ed on X-ray research work. He felt
ithat here lay a great chance to helo
humanity. The action of the little un
derstood ray began destroying his
fingers.
He madV himself strange padded
gloves and went on. He could endure
the burning away of his hands no
suffering was too great to pay as
pride for the knowledge his soul de
manded and for the help to humanitv
his spirit felt driven to give. He could
never have endured the personal fear
that would have saved his flesh at the
cost of his work.. Extreme? Yes. But
his indomitable courage to suffer and
sacrifice brought him what he greatly
desired. How much would you suffer
for your "heart's desire?" You get
what you want of life If you want it
enoughl .

As a means of bringiirg the appeal
for food conservation directly home
to the individual citizen. Herbert C.
Hoover Ks devised a card for con
sumers containing this pledge:
1. To eat one wheatless meal a day.
i. To eat beef, mutton or pork not
more than once a day,
' 3. To economize in the use of but
ter. k 4. To limit my daily allowance of
sugar in tea or coffee and in other
ways. -
. S. To eat more vegetables, fruit
and fish.. ' 1

6. To urge in mv own home or the

Buy Your Hard Goal How
lihile You Can get It
President Wilson lias fixed the price of hard coal, mak
ing virtually no change in the "list" price agreed
upon by mine owners last April. We have been
able to get practically no coal at this list price.
What we have been able to get will not supply our
trade move than 30 days.
That we may be able to buy more hard coal is not likely.
There are not a dozen dealers in Omaha who have
any hard coal at all.
The mines won't ship so far west when "home" folks
are short of coal. Not over 10 of the normal
supply will reach Omaha, in our opinion.
The President has the power to distribute the output of
anthracite and may be prevailed upon to get
Omaha some hard coal, but we doubt it, as the gov
ernment doesn't consider it proper conservation to
ship Pennsylvania Anthracite through the coal
producing states of Ohio,-Indiana,-Illinois and
Iowa to Omaha.
If you want to burn anthracite this winter, ask" us to fill
up "your bin now.
