Gentle Sex Elevator
Operator Likes Her Job
"Don't crowd, gents. All may have
a ride. She enjoys running it im
mensely, and doubtless will be on he
job for many months to come.
"If you will form in line and wait
your turn, we will now introduce Mrs.
May Tyrrell, Buffalo's first woman
elevator operator. She runs thfc elec
tric elevator in the new Colonnade
building in Pearl street, opposite St.
Paul's church."
"It's great fun," said Mrs. Tyrrell,
slamming the ground floor door.
"There is no reason at all why wom
en should not run ele floors, please?
for it is a congenial occupation and
one that is not tiring. First floor!
It took me only a few minutes to
learn, and yes, sir, you'll find the
manager on the next floor and run
ning an elevator is a pleasant sen
sation at least for a woman who is
beginner at it. I know that top
floor, watch your step, please."
I here was nothing left to do but to
step out.
b. B. Burbank, manager of the
Colonnade building, said that he en-'
!;aged Mrs. Tyrrell because he had
ound trouble in getting an elevator
boy that would suit him.
They have elevator girls in New
York and Chicago, so I thought I
would try it out in Buffalo,' he said.
"It is such a success that managers
of one or two office buildings in Buf
falo have been over here to tee how
practical it is."
. Despite her youthful appearance,
Mrs. Tyrrell, who resides at 338 Mon
roe street, is the mother of four chil
dren. Her husband, a former mem
ber of the police force, died about
two yars ago, and now she is sup-
Eor'ting her family with the aid of
er parents. One of her children was
seriously ill with typhoid lever re
cently. From her friendly smile and
happy manner one would not suspect
that she pas experienced so many
troubles, however. Buffalo Times.

Persistent Advertising Is the Road
to Success.
"There la a false Impression over the
state that we cannot take In more men for
the navy now," said Ensign Condlct of the
naval recruiting station this morning. "As
a consequence our enlistments have de
rreased and last week we took In fewer
men than our quoto called for. I would
like to say that we can take in all who
apply and they will be sent to a training
station at once, or to sea if qualified."
Mayor Dahlman and Major John G.
Maher went down to the station Saturday
to meet Company H of the Slxtn from
Chadron, which passed through on ths way
to Deming. Both of them are from Chad
ron and knew every one in the company.
"It took rae back eighteen years," said
Major Maher. Then I was a young pri
vate In Company H that time of ths Sec
ond Nebraska and we came over the same
route to the Spanish-American war. At
the close of that war no one could have
made me believe we would ever be in another.
William Petersen, son of Mr. and Mrs.
P. F. Petersen, has been ordered for foreign
duty st some unknown point, according to
a telegram received by his parents. Mr.
Petersen has been at the aviation ground
training school at Princeton university for
the last seven weeks. His message simply
stated that he went with forty other men
and would not see his family until later.
Mr. Petersen ishs fiance of Miss Katherlna
Kmg, daughter of Major and Mrs. Krug,
who were stationed at Fort Crook last year.
A successful recruiting rally was held
Friday for the seventh night on the court
house lawn. Among the speakers were
Richard Metcalfe and Major John G. Maher.
At the close of the meeting eight men en
listed and many more came Into the head
quarters to get Information.

"Under

You remember the otrte-upon-a-time
story of the old
wood cutter and his old wife
to whom was given the ful
fillment of any three wishes
they might wish and they
thought and thought and
thought and talked about
what to wish and became so
tired and hungry and final
ly the old wife leaned back
can't you just see her kind
of crumple down and said,
"Oh, I am so hungry, I wish
I had a pudding," and there
was a pudding. Mercy! There
was a wish gone and the old
man was so angry. "I wish it
was on your nose," he shout
ed and there it WAS on
her nose. Oh dear, oh dear,
and only one wish left. What
could they do? What would
riches or kingdoms be with a
pudding on the end of your
nose, you couldn't even cook
a wood cutter's meal and
they just had to wish that
pudding off.
Wasn't that an awful ex
ample of unpreparedness?
So when people say, "What
do you wish for your birth
day or your wedding gift or
your house gift," say "I wish
to go to Orchard & Wilhelm's
Gift Shop and select it my
self," and you see you have
two wishes left. Ah ha!
