streets, is willing to match his thrill
against the thrill of any other mem-

Not very long ago Coffey was
' standing at his station, keeping the
traffic moving without colliding.! He
stoppedjor a few sfo.nds to pass the
time of day with a real estate friend
who wanted d sell Coffey a bungalow
or something Ifce that. All of a sud
den Coffey heard an, object approach

The Dialogues of Jane and Paul.
Jane edged up to the evening table
where Paul was figuratively buried
in his newspaper. Her mind was
perturbed as -she wondered whether
she would try a pacifist treatment,
a policy of non-resistance or unleash
her restless spirit upon friend hus-
Dana. ,
"Paul, dear," she began, "we are
going to have new, neighbors.- I
don't know who they are, but Mrs.
Dull told me that they have two-year-old
twins that sleep in the day
time and conduct a ballyhoo during
Hie flight."
Paul looked over the top of his
paper, nodded his head affirmatively,
and his face indicated that neithe'r
his interest uor his imagination had
been stirred. He wanted his academic
freedom.
"Can't you see that I am reading?
Don't you suppose that a man wants
a little time to himself?" he asked,
brusquely. '
It'a Up to Jane.
Jane continued to purr: "I nearly
forgot to tell you that I am going to
see my Jlentist in the morning, and
I know that you will not be cross
when you come home in the evening
to find that I am a crosspatch."
"Can't you think of something
more altruistic than your teeth and
the neighbor's twins to talk about?
I can find more interesting subjects
in this newspaper. A man wants to
be interested when he comes home
from his day's work," was the cool
rejoinder. i
Jane bit her lip and then changed
from a kittenish manner to the ap
pearance of a woman who could
utter cruel words."
"So it is an interesting woman that
you want. I suppose that I should
spend my time learning how to be"
interesting,' instead of how to make
housekeeping a profession: then vou
would regard me in a different man
ner," she replied, her emotions break
ing loose from their chains.
Strange Words, These.
Strange words from Jane, Paul
thought. He had never heard her

his pseudo-role of injured innocence
just to see how far she would go.
The thought that tte work of a'

never occurred to him. He just took
it for granted that woman's sphere
was cooking meals, sweeping floors,
washing dishes, rearing children, can

he was equally helpless. His patience

a fall and he began to have serious

By CHARLES F. COBRY.
Omaha, the center of the world's
"bread basket," now as it has always
been, offered an opportunity in 1893
where one's daily "bread and butter"
was assured that's why it now num
bers among its most prominent citi
zens, Bryce Crawford, county judge.
Judge Crawford acknowledges that
when he finished his law course at
theUniversity of Kansas his outlook
on life, in a financial way, could have
taken on a much more rosy aspect.
Students just out of aw sthool, as
a rule, are not "overburdened" with
worldly goods. Bryce Crawford was
no exception, and that particular
time in the.country's history was far
from prosperous.
"So I came to Omaha where my
parents then lived; where my 'bread
and butter' was awaiting me; where
I was certain of the fact," Judge
Crawford says. And the judge added:
"There were many In those days who
had no such assurance."
Born In Illinois.
Judge Crawford, however, is re-
pentent when he divulges the fact
that he was not born in Omaha. That
particular event occurred at Sparta,
111., on October 6, 1870. Byrce was
the son of Mr. and Mrs.V. D. Craw
ford, both now living in Omaha at
1618 Binney street. When Bryce
was S years old, the Crawford family
moved to Kansas City, where Mr.
Crawford was secretary of the land
department of the Union Pacific.
Byrce remained with his parents un
til 1888, when he entered th Uni
versity of Kansas. After his uni
versity training he took up the study
of law in 1891 at the same university,
and graduated in 1893. Bryce en
joyed a wide reputation during his
college days as a base ball player,
contending in many games in Mis
souri Valley conference.
It was in 1893 that he followed his
parents to Omaha, and has remained
here since. Attorney Crawford on
his arrival in ' Omaha immediately
took up the practice of law, having
been employed by the firm of Mc
Clanahan & Halligan, the former
now in North Platte and the latter is
in Chicago.
In 1904 Judge Crawford first "dab
bled" in politics, politics in one sense
of the word only, as Judge Crawford
depends upon his ability to make
friends as a supporting factor, rather
than "politics. I,t was then that
Mayor Frank Moorts appointed him
as police magistrate, an office that
he held for over six years, by re-appointment
three times. In 1911 he
was elected county judge by a big
majority, and held that office perma
nently since and has already had three
terms.
Field To Himself.
Judge Crawford now holds an en
viable position. During his adminis
tration as county judge he has elimi
nated opposition. During the last two
times he ran for office he had the
field absolutely to himself. No one
cared to dispute his right to the of
fice. He is again going to seek re
election this fall, and up to date no
particular opposition has yet made
its appearance.
One particularly proud moment irn
Judge Crawtord s life is when he
makes mention of his .-"kiddies," all
of whom, however, have now "grow
ed up." Miss Elizabeth Crawford
recently graduated from the Univer
sity of Nebraska, Alexander is well
along in his course at the same in
stitution and Bryce, jr., is in his sen
ior year at the Omaha high school.
Judge Crawford is indeed proud of
his little family, the head of which,
hex acknowledges, is other than himself.
Col. F. A. Grant, former command- I
ant of the Omaha quartermaster';
corps, tells of an "honest-to-good-ness"
thrill that caused the hearts of
10,000 United States soldiers to stop
beating for a few minutes as they
steeled themselves for what they lie-,
lieved would be one of the fiercest
naval attacks during the Spanish
American war.
It was in July, 1898; we were on
the seas near Luzon, without a naval
escort, and we knew that the Span
iards had 20 uncaptured gunboats in '
Philippine waters. One day when we
sighted a long, low, square-rigged ship
ahead of us, all troops were called to
arms, men were stationed at their
guns and 10,000 pairs of eyes were on

They returned to their dovecot

is indeed a profession and that a
housewife is just as interesting as
her husband thinks she is.

"Going down in a submarine," is '
the answer Dr. A. F. Browning gave
when asked about the greatest thrill
of his life. ,
"A friend of mine, a captain of an
American submarine, had his 'rattle
snake' just off the shore from New
Orleans, La.( and he invited me to
go aboard with him. j
"I saw the city through the peri
scope. The captain adjusted themir
rors so I could see every part of the
city. Then he suggested that we 'go
under.' I was panicky, but I went
through with it. I felt sick when I
realized that we werg undernhe water.
We didn't stay down long, but the
half hour seemed like a year to mt.
When we canie up my friend insisted
on showing me the whole works and
as I learned what a wonderful workV
of science the submarine is I was
filled with, real awe for it."
