WHEN THE EAGLE GIGGLED.
WHEN the eagle screamed in 1917, Bill Jazzbo was staked to a
junior partnership in the walking department of Uncle Sam's
overseas circus. He was out to make the works safe for de
mocracy and Home Guards. Bill paddled his-dogs down Fifth avenue be
tween two rows of cheering cuckoos who couldn't hear the eagle chirp
unless it was on a dollar bill. From his corns to his army haircut Bill
was dolled up in the regulation O. D. pedestrian trousseau. He wore a
No. 7 boiler on his skull, and toted a trench piano and accesories on his
spinepiece. , . f c
Bill weighed about 792 pounds trenchside m his hobnailed feet, ot
which 178 pounds were Bill. The rest was garnishings. Something like
a steak en casserole. Bill didn't know exactly what it was all about, but
he knocked so many Jerries loose from their life insurance that they
pinned enough medals on his chest to balance the load on his back. This
made Bill look like a sandwich man for a hardware factory.
About this time Jerry figured that he had a blouseful and took it on
the loop for the old home plate. Bill had one flipper shot away and had
lost all the legs that a guy can conveniently spare. He had been laid up
with ptomaine poisoning from biting a Jerry in the neck, which earned
him another yard of medal pieces. Bill wasn't vicious, but anything was
a change from the O. D. army beans.
In order to, save Bill's thumb, the army surgeon had amputated his
little linger at the elbow, but Bill figured that there was just enough of
him left to hold his old job down when he again parked his hobspiked
dogs on the star spangled real estate of Yonkers and vicinity. The eagle
had screamed with a chorus by the entire company and Bill was coming
home.
Still Screaming. ,
(Coming up the bay, a herd of tugboats whistled in' eight colors and
pink, and Bill got his first eastern eyeful of the Statue o! Liberty with
her face toward New York and Europe which places New Jersey in
rather a peculiar position. The same cuckoos who had cheered Bill east
were there to cheer him west. They wined him and cheered him and
'''.led him and cheered him.
Bill was wondering about his old job, but nobody could stop cheer
ing him long enough to put him hep. They stuck up a big triumphal
arch made of some transient material like toothpaste or glucose and Bill
again walked up Fifth avenue with so many medals on his vest that he
looked like an xylophone.
- Everybody cheered themselves dizzy, but Bill couldn't figure where
things had changed much since he ankled down the avenue two years
ago. They were still doing the cheering and he was still doing the walking-
' ' .
4 Jobbed Out of the Old Job .
When the parade was cured they

a nickel away. Bill walked up the old street and life was just one cheer
after another with another cheer in between.. He asked. a traffic cop the
way to his old building and the cop gave him three cheers but no direc
tions. '
Bill figured you couldn't get fat on cheers until some bird invented a
method of harnessing acoustics. He'finally dug up the old building and
walked up 35 flights of stairs as the elevator bov was out cheerinir a n-
rade. When he flatwheeled into the
zanine floor of his desk and cheered
Bill buzzed him about his old job, but the boss was too busy cheering
him' to answer. Bill looked over at his old desk and piped some button
eyed, hambacked cuckoo swivelling around in his old swivel chair. Bill
didn't recognize this bird at first because the last time he spotted this
needlenosed bird he had seven sets of spectacles on his beak in order to
loqk thoroughly exempt. When the armistice was established he started
shedding his specs but kept just enough on to see Bill's job.
Bill tried to ask for his old job back, but all' the boss would give him
was three cheers. ,
The eagle was still screaming, but Bill was wishing he would stop
the Caruso stuff and lay a few eggs.
I '
Cheers That Don't Cheer.
After the office force had cheered him on his way. Bill popped into
216 other offices, but all he got was a complete set of cheers. Bill hoofed
it down Fifth avenue puffing like a mule trying to do a locomotive's work
Down at, Union Square he piped the same toothpaste Arch of Tri
umph that he had waddled under a short time ago. On the top were a
squad of screaming papier mache eagles.
Bill had made the world safe for everybody but himself. He looked
up at the screaming eagles and squawked:
"How about canning this cheering jurrk and slipping me a job' You
know that a bum is a bum. even if he is a hero."
That was when the eagle giggled.

THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 13, 1919.
JOHN PESEK AND
CHAS. CUTLER
HEREJAY 12
Jack Lewis Closes Match Be
tween Shelton Boy, and
Former American Title
Holder.
Farmer boy, John Pesek of
Shelton, Neb., and Charley Cutler
of Chicago will meet in a hnish
wrestling match at the Omaha Au
ditorium May 12, Jack Lewis, local
promoter, announced yesterday
afternoon. Negotiations for this
match have been- under way for
some time, accordng to Lewis.
Cutler's consent to wrestle Pesek
was received only yesterday. Mart
Slattery, Pesek's manager, was in
Omaha yesterday and agreed to the
match in behalf of Pesek.
The Chicagoan will be the fourth
grappler to try to take the measure
of Pesek in Omaha this winter.
Three predecessors, Charley Peters,
Steve Savage and John Freiburg, es
sayed to turn' the trick, but all failed.
Pesek threw each one in straight
falls.. Cutler is the man who. played
a big part in making Joe Stecher
famous. He did it in Omaha by los
ing to Stecher in a match which
cost eastern mat followers thou
sands of dollars. They wagered
heavily on Cutler to win. It was
Stecher's practically first big match
and it made him famous from coast
to coast.
The Chicago . grappler is" one of
the real veterans of the mat game.
He first was a" boxer -but found
wrestling more to his favor and
switched his affections. He was de
rlarpft trip Amprican chamoion after
la victory over Henry Ordeman, fol
lowing the retirement ot the late
Frank Gotch, and he held that title
until defeated by Stecher. He
weights more than 230 pounds and
will outweigh Pesek by about 35
pounds.
Cutler is reported to be a much
better man than when he met
Stecher despite the added years to
his age. He has acquired great
skill through his years of experience
and has become one of the most
finished vrest)ers in the business.
His latest achievement of note was
to stand off Marin Plestina, who
recently offered to bet $25,000 he
could beat any man in the world,
for two hours and a half without a
fall.
Pesek also is to meet Harold
Christensen in Sioux City Monday
night, Mart Slattery said yesterday,
