Home Life of the Leffingwells.
Howard and Helen were sitting in
the parlor of the latter' home, dis
cussing plans for their nuptials. He
had established himself in a prosper
ous business founded by his father.
This groom-to-be .was unconsciously
frank, sometimes he seemed to be
almost brutally frank. His friends
understood him as a man who did
not waste nor mince words; perfectly
. honorable, and possessed of superb
, mental poise, tie never indulged in
ecstasies, never lost his temper, was
of decided likes and dislikes, and
formed friendships with fine discrim-
. ination. bhe was a woman of plivsr
- cal .nd mental charms, which were
not; fwotruded to the degree of con-
spicuousness. she had traveled ex
tensively, and believed that she knew
the world and men and affairs, and
. a'so believed that she had; fairly ap
' praised the characteristics of the man
whose name she expected to take.
They had just returned from a
heater and were analyzing points of
interest in the play. He took ex
ceptions to one 6f the characters, that
of a lover who endeavored after mar
iage to maintain love's young dream.
He contended that the lovecef this
Slay should have told the women of
is love that the path which leads
; from the 'hymeneal altar is strewn
,; with disillusioning experiences. He
insisted that the stage lover had not

Helen's face grew a little tense, but
she retained mastery of conflicting
amotions. - A strange speech from her
' fiance, she thought. She looked at her
. lover with new interest, and she
-struggled to say the right word in a
delicate situation.
: In the play the man exhausted his
vocabulary and showered his., wealth
before marriage in attestation of his
love. He drew roseate pictures of fu
ture happiness, and he declared that
clouds never would obscure the sun
shine of himself and the princess of
his heart after they were married.

at his word and when, after marriage,

"The play does not ring true. That
man had no right to make such prom

perfect calmness. "He was a bucca

for one thing, and it tends to detract
from marital happiness. I want our
married lif to be on a practical,
commonsense basis. I do not believe
that I have told you one thing that I
did not mean. I told you that I loved
you, and I meant it. I have never
told you that you are the most beau
tiful woman in all of the wide world,
because I am frank to say that I hate
seen women who were more beauti
ful, judged by the standards of artis
tic beauty. For instance, I have seen
women with more beautiful curve
lines from chin to neck," Howard re
plied, his complacency being almost
disquieting.
Helen quivered just a little bit.
What did all of this mean? she
thought.
The Play's the Thing.
"Didn't you Ahink that the woman
in the play had a beautiful neck?."
she asked, a note of irony in her voice.
"I am not making comparisons, he
"toward drew closer to llelen and
offered a reassuring glance, pressing
her hand the while. t
Continuing, he philosophized: Now
that we are to be married in a few
days, I want to tell you of some of
the things I expect to do, or will not
do, after we begin life as Mr. and
Mrs. Livingstone. I want to be quite'
frank. My father taught me frank
ness, and I have found that it pays in
business. When we hall have been
married, it may seem that I am. not
as attentive to you as I have been
during our engagement days. There is
more interest in pursuit than in actual
possession; that is human nature and
there is no use trying to reason
otherwise. As .a matter of fact, I will
be just as attentive, but my attentions
will be more practical and varied. I
may not feel , like sitting up until 12
o'clock quite so often. I will always
think of your-comfort and happiness,
but there will be times when I will
nrfer 9 hook to vour comoanv. I
will have my dogs, and my pipe and"
you may not like my pipe. 1 snau ex
pevt that you will have your little
divertisements, whichj may not always
arouse my interest In most things
I am sure we will agree, and I am
confident that most of our pleasures
will be shared. I will expect you to
be attractive on occasions. I will want
to point with pride to my wife when
we attend public occasions; it may
help me in my business."
. Then New Understanding.
Then a brief silence. They looked
at each other with a new understand
ing. Helen could not resist a feeling
that 'she had a strpnger admiration
for Howard, although she wanted to
appear a. little piqued. She was a
woman and, womanlike, she was not
without the clinfeing-ivy instinct. She
accepted the logic of Howard's philo
sophy. . f
"But you always insisted that I had
a beautiful neck," she said, with ' a
touch of coquetry. N
"So I did, and I still maintain that
you have a pretty neck, but I never
said that you had the most beautiful
neck in the world. Taking in the
whole world is including a vast area,
and you know that I Vave not seen
the whole world. I maintain that
your neck is beautiful and that of all
the women' I have met, I verily be
lieve that you are the one to make
me happy for the rest of my life. I
never called you my turtle dove, for
the very good reason that you are not
a turtle dove. A man should be very
careful what he says to the woman
he expects to be his wife. I once
heard a man lapse into such a state
of mental irresponsibility that he told
a woman he loved her so much that
he could worship the yery ground on
which she walked. I like your tfs-
I position and your cooking, but l am
not going to say a lot ot things just
to flatter you," was his reply. N
I Thought All Men Liars.
'Howard, I' thought all men are
liars and that they always said A lot
of empty nothings to the v,omen they
loved. I have read so in books and
L expected the same from you, but
now I am convinced that your name
should be Frank instead of How
ard," was the playful rejoinder.
"Well, I cannot answer for other
men. I find it hard sometimes to an
swer for myself. I just want you to
understand what sort of a, man I ex
pect to be after the minister has done
his part, so that you cannot say, 'I
told you so,' after we are married,"
he continued.
Helen began-o grasp the true
worth of Howard's philosophy. She
realized that she could not success
fully contravert the soundness of his
position. Her misgivings gave way to
a feeling of elation. He was a dif
ferent sort of man, she thought.
"There is another matter I wish to
bring to your attention before we
are wed, and it is that I believe that
betrothed persons should reveal
themselves, instead of unmasking
after they enter upon the long, long
trail of domestic life. I am 'fond of

By EDWARD BLACK.
J. Dean Ringer visited Omaha fre
quently' when he was playing guard
on the Cornhusker foot ball team, and
while he was otherwise identified with
the University of Nebraska. The more
he saw of Omaha, the more he was
convinced that some day he would like
to live in a little bungalow . itv the
metropolis and grow up with . the
Gate City.
When the Cornhuskers were play
ing here on a bright autumn day, a
friend suggested to Ringer thaQie
should pack up his law books and
get his name in the Omaha city di
rectory. He bid his Lincoln friends
goodby in 1905, bought a picket for
Omaha, rented an .office in - South
Omaha,, placed his name on the door
and then waited for a client.
He was born in Lincoln" in 1878,
attended the elementary and high
schools of the Capital City and was
graduated from the lawschool of the
University of Nebraska.
Always On the Job.
Making the most of his time was
Mr. Ringer's kevnote durine his
school davs. before he had finished
the Eighth, grade he carried tele-
grams and learned teleeraphy. v He
was out of school four years, during
which time he supported himself and
saved money. He became impressed
with the importance of higher educa
tion, so he qualified for entrance to
the Lincoln High school and then
entered the university. During the
summer vacation he worked as tel
egrapher. )
While at the university he was in
terested in athletics and made -rec-ord
as foot ball star. He was on the
Cornhusker team from 1899 to 1903
and also during 1905. He was on the
Cornhusker team during 1902, when
the goal line of the Nebraskans was
never crossed, and it was during that
seasoa that the Oornhufkers defeated
whistling; and I whistle while I am
shaving and I whistle while I am
asleep, This is an affliction or an ad
diction, and so I thought I would tell
you about it," he continued.
Helen Gets in Tune.
Helen got into tune with the situ
ation and was reassured. She made
bold to fteep step with the thought
suggested by Howard. 1
"Will you be cross after we are
married if f should not look as at
tractive at 7 a. m. as I do at 7 p. m.?"
she asked.
"Not a bit of if
"And you will promise that you will
never, never refer to your mother's
cooking if my biscuits are not as light
as they should be?"
"I promise."
"And you will not say unkind words
if your slippers are not always in the
exact place where you left them?"
"I will noty" v
It might be said that Helen spurn
er such a practical and unsentimental
man, but in fact she accepted him as
the one man for her. They were mar
ried and lived many happy years.
The most serious jar they have had
was on an occasion when Howard car
ried two of Helen's letters in his
pocket four days before he thought to
mail them, y
fv:W
.Minnesota for the first time. Mr.
Ringer was a member of the uni
versity athletic board for two years
and was on the intercollegiate debat
ing team, winning , the chancellor's
prize in 1905.
Involves Sackett Law.
While practicing law in South
Omaha he was instrumental in in
voking for the. first time successfully
the Sackett law, causing removal of
two ' public officials 011 charges of
malfeasance. He served as special
counsel for the attorney general on
that occasion.
Mr. Ringer was chairman of the
Douglas county dry campaign com
mittee in 1916 and is now serving
as chairman of the' Young Men's
Christian association war work com
mittee for Nebraska; also chairman of
the state committee of the same as
sociation. . 5
His entrance to municipal politics
as a candidate for city commissioner
came as a surprise to himself and
many of his friends. He did not file for
the primary until 6 o'clock of the, aft-
ernoon-'of the last day of filing. 'He

fat 'the task just as he did in his foot
ball davs. when he coordinated brain
atid brawn to take hhn through dif
ficult situations. At the primary elec
tion on ApriH he was seventh man in
a field of 75 runners. On May 7 he
intends to be one of seven who will
be elected out of a field of 14 can
didates. - Lives in Magic Clty
Although particularly identified
with the South Side, for years, Mr.
Ringer maintains a law office in the
First National bank building and lives
in the Magic City. .
"I was urged to get .into this race
and I was slow to make the decision,"
Mr. Ringer said. "I believe Omaha

Some Fish Story.
"You ask me for my most thrilling
moment and it does' not take me a
moment to remember r, just what
and when it was," said Ford
Burlingim, former manager of the .
Merchants hotel. "To be yanked out
of a boat by an ordinary fish may not
seem to some people to btmuch of
a thriller, buv it thrilled my marrows
until I still shudder when X think .
of it.
"T'was a couple of years ago when .
with -a guide and Herman Peters I '.
was fishing in Big Sand lake, near
Webster, Wis., just opposite the
Hobby. Wf had been having pretu
good luck, especially Peters with that
long whip ot his, with which he can
throw a luri a mile, and-1 had not -
been doing very well when I changed
bait. I hat did the business.
"Big Toe, ihe Indian guide, had just
rowed us ou of some weeds and into
clear water when it happened. I got .
a strike. It was some strike and I
started to reel in. The big fellow
started for me and I kept reeling until
he was alongside and way down.
Then he plunged under the boat and
took me intc the water with him. 1
did not wan to be lonesome in that
water so I just naturally upset the -
boat as 1 -ent overboard and took
Peters and the guide in with me. 1
"Peters and Toe stuck by the boat
and soon had it righted, but I had to
tend to that fish, as I did not intend
to let him rfcape. .
"Finally I reeled the fish right up
to me and then jumped on his back
and steered him until he had taken
me ashore."
Peters vouches for this tale.
Ruffs Close Call.
"The greatest thriirof mv 'life.'
said "Blondy" Ruff, county clerk of ,
Sarpy county, "was when I attempted .
to cross the Pappio creek during the ' '
cloudburst the night of June 5, last
year." The history of that night will '
be tola for many years by the resi- -dents
of Papillion. The treacherous -little
creek which runs through the .
heart of the town rose during the '
terrific downpour of rain and many
lives were endangered. Mrs. Walter
Voss and three small children were
imprisoned in the German Settlement
home on the bank of the creek and
the mad rush of water swirled around J
it,, threatening to carry it down stream
any minute. "Blondy" heard the -cries
of the children and started to
swim across the current to the house.
The rush of the water was too swift
for him and he was swept down ,
stream, 1but managed to keep his
head above the water. Finally his
feet caught in the wheel of a big -grader
and he caught hold of a tree,
whose top branches protruded from
the water. He hung to the tree until
his arm lost their grip and then he
clundr by his teeth, while he unfast
ented his belt and strapped his hands
to the branch. Then he lost con
sciousness. He was,,in the water for
nearly four hours before he was
rescued.
Men assembled on the bank of the
creekand stared, panic-stricken, at
the man inhe middle of the stream.
It was impossible to reach him.
There were no boats in Papillion. .
Trucks hastened to Gretna over 10
miles of muddy rain-swept roads and
returned with a boat, which proved
to be nothing but a toy when the men
tried to cross the stream in it. The
waves dashed h around and the men
saw it would be suicide to attempt to
cross tne stream m it. t
At last one man snouted: -"I
have it a chain a human
chain."
The plan was hazardous, but it was
all that remained. . and volunteers
quickly formed themselves into a
chain of men and struck out to save
their comrade. They were successful
and brought him to the bank. His
clothes had been whipped from him
and he was unconscious, but the men
had been in time to save his life.
Scott's First Smoke.
Cinnamon cigars were the direct
cause of a thrilling period of anxiety,
coupled with a keen sense of remorse,
in the life of Sam W,. Scott, Sara was

circuses began to travel in railroad
trains. It had been their custom to go
by wagon road, and the boys of the
town used to go far out into the coun

lurid banner and march into town, a
member of the circus. m For this pleas
urable task they received a fabulous
sum and a free ticket to the big top.
"Barnum's circus was the attraction,
and Joe Hunter, my chum, antf"I were
waiting on the road fpr that banner
shortly after sunup, and we made our
annual triumphant march into' Chester
with hands playing and flags flying.
But, alas, fame is liable to turn the
heads of eventhe great, and we felt
called upon to purchase some cin

proved our undoing. I became deathly
