4B THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 21, 1917. JUGGLES SACKS FOR . HIS VACATION FUN William H. Rowland Has a Work Hobby Wbich K$eps Him at it While Others Fish. If there is one hobby more than another that has remained with Wil liam H. Rowland, traveling passen ger agent in Omaha for the Peunsyl vania lines, since he donned long ' clothes, it is work. Rowland when discussing his hobby insists he was born to work, and there is no possible way of getting away from it. When other men are idling away their time, or getting what to them seems to be real enjoyment out of lite, Rowland is working, fie has lived up to his work creed so long and consistently that for years he has felt, it was his duty to work during his annual vacation period. Consequently when the vacation date rolls around Rowland consoles himself with the thought that he is going to have a couple of weeks of real work. This year his vacation came at a time when the contractor who vas erecting the army canton ment buildings at Fort Omaha was sorely in need of men. Rowland learneJ of this fact and said to him self, ' Here's my chance." Early on the first day of his vaca tion he slipped into a uit of -old clothes, went out to Fort Omaha, and applied for a job. . "You are a likely looking young man, but what can you dor" asked the foreman. .Rowland volunteered the informa tion that he could do most any kind j'of work, Taken at his word, he was .assigned to unloading sacks of ce ment. The sacks weighed 100 pounds -each and - Rowland juggled them around as though they had been filled with bran, or even a lighter material. The first day he put in ten houra of time and was paid at the rate of 35 cepts an hour. Somewhat sere and lame, he was on the job. bright and . early the next morning and all day wrestled with the heavy aacks. For two days the- foreman on the job had been watching his work. The . evening of the second day he called Rowland aside and remarked: "Young man, I like your kind of stuff and tomorrow morning when you report you will be timekeeper. It is easier and there is more money In it." " next nay, ana xnc next, ana until ' Jim vaiaiiuu vAj'iivut txuniauu nwi ni u . as timekeeper at 50 cents an hour, ,t and when lie quit he had saved up pretty nearly enough money to pay for his winter supply of coal. . c i : -.1 li. . n I..-J MJCaKllllt UI 111 VttUBIiUll. ivuwiaiiu said: fT never had one that T enjoyed s much and the work has made me ' ecl fine than silk."

Behold I Friends and enemies, I am the Pie! And be it remembered that my ancestors were not descendants from Adam and Eve but from one momentarily insane a chef. Our ancestors were thorough, breds but the Tie family is no more now than a mixture of every thing. We are cursl Simply that 1 Centuries ago, as far back as I can remember, (and I am , very old) Pie was a luxury and graced the best, and only the best, dinner tables. . We were presented as an aftermath. The apple branch of our family was accompanied, at these festive boards,, by a dainty bit of. Amer can cheese and delicious black cof fee though the aroma was often far better than the essence itself. But the. combination! Ah, it was great 1 Mincemeat Pies, another branch of the Pie family, was a Thanks giving and Christmas luxury. To be sure this was about the most artistocratic limb of the Pie tree. These Mincemeat Pies were pre sented only on feast days, in the same elite clique with those snob bish aristocrats, the Plum Puddings. Instead of burning brandies over these Pies, brandy was a' part of i them. Mincemeat Pies and .Plum Pud dings did not associate with the or dinary lot such as the Beef and Pork famiies. They were exclu sive and appeared only-in company with birds and bottles. , . The Last of the Pies. . 1 But, alas! Every family, every thing, human and inhuman, (even the Pies) has its day. And it grieves me to- realize that the reign ing days of the Pie family are over. The Pies have depreciated and de generated until they are but a mul titude of sins. They have been the cause of their own downfalls, as were Caesar and many others. The Pies have fallen by the way side! They can never regain prestige such as was once.theirsl They have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous! They have fallen from saint to sinner 1 At one time tie heart of a Pie was a thing over which thousands rejoiced, but the heart, in its down ward course, has" turned to hide so greasy and indigestible that per sons in their right mind waste not a single glance in the direction of a Pie. Last night a man of careless taste and doubtful breeding ordered one of the Sweetpotato Pies with an Iccomoaniment of American cheese. Could the poor Pie protest? No, indeed 1 We are glad, any of us, to come fort,h, even, in such abominable company, for verily we believe in reincarnation and the sooner this life is over the sooner we may return as, even a lady's liz ard. Such fortune comes to some and who can tell who will turn into what. Who's who anyway, and why? Scorned. Here I am, an old Tie, having reached the stage where no sweet disposition would have me. Ladies spurn me! The young men laugh at me and ram me with a fork trying to penetrate my hide then they re turn me to the shelf. But, as I said before, every Pie has his day and the whole Pie fami ly have had theirs. I have lived to be among the last of the family an age of degenerates. We are tough, tasteless, ugly and common I We hang around quick a chair over it, or arrange in some way so that no one will walk over that portion of the floor.

We come in to the breakfast "counter" with rolls and cup of either scalding hot or ice cold coffee! For a time they tried to'bring us baclc into favor by decorating us a la mode (second story of ice cream), but it did not work. 'People soon discovered our nom de plume. The disguise was insufficient and, again, down we went back to these counters where "whatever you pre fer not you get and whatever you prefer you get not." Spurn us! Laugh at lis!

We are sinners, wicked, cruel, beastly little sinners and we intend to sin again and again, so long as we have a grip on your hasty husband. These hus bands are for us strong, strong, strongest, because they are too stupid to find us out. We shall re vel in their ignorance and continue to punish the women, our enemies, for verily I say, WE ARE THE CAUSE OF THY HUSBAND'S GROUCH. CUT GLASS SALE r termaimy Hates FemMsm There is some interest, if not enual importance, in the fact that America, reputed throughout the world as the land of feminism, the land of privi leged womanhood, is at war with the country in which the claims of femi nism are most "universally and vio lently detested and the claims of mas culinism most loudly - asserted and generally accepted: Herr Voechtintr wrote a book a few years, ago on, "The "Anierjcan Cult of Woman," in . which he congratulated his own Germany ort being safe from .U- A ' ..... tr: .l - wic umiKci 11141 , was cugimiug uic United States in ruin and degradation. If we acknowledge the awful impeach ment brought against us 'ottt, of the logic of Kultur, what shall we say on our part of that masculinism which expresses itself among the men of Germany in a horrified and angry out cry against the "treachery" and "un worthiness" of German women in per forming little acts of kindness and hu manity for the prisoners within the gates? So dominant is this masculinism in the kaiser's empire that women them selves are among its staunchest ad herents. No other land could ever make a creed of subjecting to con stant insult and cruelty the helpless and the wounded. The masculinism of America is of a different sort, de spite the gloating assertion of, llerr Voechting that we have sunk too taw to lay claim to anything of sich a title. We prefer our own variety.
