Thrilling .
Moments of
' Their Lives
Taylor'g P'brd Helps.
W. JL Taylor, the optician, experi
enced his most thriving moment re
cently. "No experience -1 can recall
of boyhood adventures," he says, "so
sent the chills over me as did the ex
perience a few days ago of suddenly
seeing a flivver directly across the
road in front of my car, when I was
driving as fast as the ordinances
would permit. The flivver had no
business there, of course. The fel
low had just backed out of the park
ing and I, for a moment, was looking
down to locate a purse my wife had
lost Someone yelled. 'Look out,' and
I threw on the brakes. We hit the fel
low's runboard squarely and bent
some fenders, got all shaken up and
then the flivver and I thook hands
and congratulated each other on being
alive." . . ..... ' -
, Just One.
According to all the laws of aver
age, Ralph Hayward,. who toils for
both a railroad and a theater, should
have experienced many ' thrills. So
the question was put to him.
"Ever have a thrill, Ralph?" .
s "Danger, profit and loss, or love?"
demanded Hayward. "Sure, plenty
of 'em. Been in auto wrecks and
train wrecks; once held five bluo lies
going uphill; spent New Year's we
jn New York; copped a bet on the
world's series; nailed one mallard
out of a flock before "Dad" Weaver
could scare it away; oh, a lot of 'em."
"Nix, nix," ordered the questioner.
VI mean a regular thrill."
-"Oh, a regular thrill," said Hay
ward. "Only one of those, ever hap-

Oh You Fed League.
Bill Jackson, new manager, of the
Rourkes, who recently came to Oma
ha from Peoria, admits of many, many
thrills during his base ball career.
Most diamond athletes experience in
numerable thrills and the Rou-ke
manager is no exception.
But Jackson experienced one out
standing thrill that surpassed all of the
others; one thrill which he will tarry
in his memory throughout the rest of
his life; a thrill that was a thrill.
"It was tnen I signed a war-time
contract with Chicago in the Federal
league," explained Jackson. "Oh, Loy,
some thrill. That was when I dis
covered for the first time that John
D. Rockefeller, Jess Willard and
"Billy" Sunday didn't have all the
money In flie world after all."
Hanging "By a Hair."
. Climbing along the perpendicular
face of a rocky cliff, north of Iowa City,
la., Charles L Vance years ago had
his most thrilling experience. He was
a student in the University of Iowa,
and a crank on tjje subject of geology.
He collected fossils day after day, as
small boys collect strings and old
nails. When he had climbed to a
height of 80 feet on the face of the
rock he found the rocks there a little
loose and uncertain. He had his toe
planted on a ledge about two inches
wide. Just above his head a large
shell protruded from the face of the
rock. With one hand he grasped a
narrow ledge above to steady him
self while he worked at the shell. "I
had no more than taken hold of the
ledge," says Vance, "than the rock
.gave way under my toes, and there
I was dangling elk feet from the
ground, holding by one hand. I hung
fully two .minutes before I could find
another toe hold. It seemed like two
weeks to me."

PROMINENT OMAHA EDUCATOR GAVE
TEACHERS ADVICE ABOUT WEARING
"TEDDYBEARS;" WHY DID THEY LAUGH?
i
He Meant Well, But the School,

This story la too good to
keep, though not for worlds
would we tell the name of the
person moat concerned, not even

This man 1 ft prominent Oma
ha educator. He was a proml- "speech she explained .to the be-
nent educator in another nearby
city before he came to Omaha,
(a city connected with Omaha
by trolley).
It was In this other city that
he once had occasion to address
the teachers under bis jurisdic
tion. He ended up his speech
in this wise:
"And 1 want you t be dlgnl.
fled In your dress. It Is not
dignified to appear In the school
room wearing teddybears and I
hop yon wilt' all 'observe this
rule. Do' not wear teddybears
la the school 'room.'
He noticed that strange looks
wars - exchanged among the
teachers. H . observed that
some of them smiled and on or
two actually laughed, though
they tried bravely Uh conceal It
- When he went horn-: that
night he told his wife)
' "I can't understand what I
satd that 'could have caused
them to laugh. Tt waft most
serious and dignified speech.".
His wife, asked blm. to relate
what he. had said. He did 'so;
but j she. could find, nothing to
cause amusement. -. v
"And. oh. , yes. Jn . closing I

you to observe any mory
ambitions to become a bull fighter.
His aversion for male specimens of
the bovine family dates back to the
days when he spent his summers on
his father's ranch in Mqntana.
When he first went to the ranch
as a tenderfoot the foreman detailed
him to join in a roundup. On an
eventful morning he was sent to a cer
tain creek to bring in all of the critters
he could find. He discovered a mili
tant bull along the creek and was de
termined to bring the bull in or bust.
This bull was of the long-horned
variety and there was a flash of evil in
his eyes.
Moorhead made a rush at the ani
mal with his horse and the animal
madei rush at the horse, nearly tip
setting the steed and rider. Mcor
head was out alone, several miles
from the nearest person,, and the
loneliness of the scene was appalling
to turn, lie thought his time had
come. He managed to drive the bull
in with the bunch and jproudly re
counted his experience to the iore
man, who had a good laugh when he
explained to Tenderfoot Moorhead
that bulls are not brought in with the
roundups.
"I don't think I would be a success
as a bull fighter," related Mr. Moor
heard, while telling of his early days
on the range.
Ah! He's In Again, ,
The pounding of the great, massive
waves had been terrifying throughout
the entire night. The mountainous
visitations from the depths had driven
passengers and , crew alike below
deck. Hie ship, tossed about as
though it were a toy, had withstood
the cruel treatment for hours but its
resistance was nearly spent.
The life boats had long ago been
torn from their moorinfts. and the life
boats were far from adequate. It was
the ; captain harsh -voice that filled
those on board with the horror of the
situation: -
"There Isn't the slicrhtest chance for
life I, We are lost!"
But one man retained his com
posure. It was the "hero" of our
story. Jake is his name. His na
tionality? Well, read on.
With admirable coolness our hero
made his way from the depths of the
ship to an upper deck, wherein rode
the upper crust of the ship pas
sengers. In his hand was a sold
watch. "Who'll buy for $1. . Knock
ing off $99 for av short time," cried
Jake', "It's no use to me," he added,
in arl undertone. ' , ' " - rt

To be a circus clown was the boyish
ambition of William S. Stryker, presi
dent of the Douglas Shoe Store, Inc.,
of Omaha. This ambition was gnaw
ing at him back in Phillipsburg, N.
J., a good iany years ago.
In those days hf had no more in
terest in shoes than to know that he
had pair when he went through a
brier patch. The rest of the time,
even the shoes in the windows did not
attract his attention.
The loose, torn shoes, with gigantic
soles in wm'ch the circus clowns
flopped around the sawdust made
more of a hit with him than does the
finest modern $12 kangaroo. . .
Envied the Clowns. "
HowUie en-vied, the clowiis. How
glad helwas when his father left the
farm three miles south of town and
moved to Phillipsburg to engage in
the butcher business, lor then the lad
knew, he would always be in town
when the circus and the clowns came.
After a while he managed shows of
his own. With the aid of a few old
sacks and a paper hat he made him
self appear quite a. respectable clown.
lie chareed admission of the boys
a good-sized peanut would admit any
boy in the neighborhood and thus
young Stryker accumulated quite a
collection ot peanuts -ana an assort
ment of stomach aches.
In 1880 his father looked to the
west and his eyes rested on Omaha.
Because the city was centrally lo
cated, he believed it would be a great
metropolis, and he came. He has
never felt that he missed his guess,
and the son has been glad of the
choice since. " -

There he maintains, among other
things, a foot comfort service, which
has grown into a really important de

Oldest Inhabitant and Careful Ob

"Pride is like the salt which savor. ,

server yesterday morning when this v
sage o'f sapient sayings drew a mental. 1
bead on his traveling companion, the -Oldest
Inhabitant. ?-. H k.
These peripatetic pals paced in a?,
glow of glorious spring1 .sunshine and
observed that false pride is ihe hidden; ,
rock upon which many mortals, ara:

that it is unwise for the spirit of inan.

"Did you ever read of the tdad in L

"All of which corroborates my con-1 : J

to lose our way in the mystic maze V - i
of life," rejoined the man who at-- ,
tended the first church oyster supper ? '(
held in Omaha. . , .
"Yes, indeed, pride rides ahead of a - !
fall," replied the obesrvant one, "And, -yet,
I am sure that we agree to the
proposition that pride is. a prerequisite s k
to proper living. Pride was given tq l '
man that he might hold himself above .

angels. When Eve beheld hersell in I
a pool in Eden's garden.' she' set an t

its victim, far afield." ' ; ' '
