OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 20. 1919.
; Weill Look who's here! Some
rogues gallery, eh? Everybody's
r - been taking credit for winning
the war. .Some claim it was gaio
line. The ship men claim is was
; the ships. The automobile has
its supporters and so on but it was
' the Literary Digest in its issue 'of
; April 12 that came forward and
' , gave the cartoonist his due." Look
!'you here and see Who's Who in
cartoondum. There's one mis
. ! take been made, though. , A car
v toonist is " not always neces
'.'t sarily a caricaturist, so we see
some of the contributors trying
to make themselves as good look
;' ing as possible. This is not a
j case of "see ourselves as others
I see us," but rather a case of intra-
visualization.
Some Mugs These.
Just look at some of these
- mugs. Some 52 of 'em. Thir-!-
teen of 'em pay tribute to My
i Lady Nicotine. Six pipes, five
cigars and two cigarets the pipes
have it. And still we know posi
tively that some of 'em .have not
incorporated their source of in
' spiration in their delineations. We
J know that Spencer, down the
'street has a corn-cob tucked away
'-in his desk somewhere. We didn't
' know, though, that McCutcheon
thought so much of his looks, nor
? Ireland, nor Marcus. Cesare has
. a blind spot in one eye. Fitzpat-
rick and Donahey seem to have a
grudge against themselves, while
Z Briggs and Goldberg are the re
averse. We fear Bronstrup is try
ing to hide the absence of some-
thing by wearing his hat.
'' Our Own Mutt.
1 The homely looking mutt near
,the center of the page is no other
than the Omaha Bee's cartoonist
?and erstwhile nut artist right
there with all these notables.
Powell says he wishes he had
some hair from the back of his
' neck on top of his head.
. No matter what part of the
J. country you come from you will
' find here the self-depicted mug
'I that helps create public opinion.
;;Zim, Rogers and Kemble are
" well-known outside of cartoon
; dom. Darling looks like his
v name. Bushnell looks like Ca
ruso. Some are quite serious.
::Some do it with a smile Any
way, as the Digest says, "They
i, helped win the war."

Bouquet of Live, Human Interest
When They Wooed and Won
The city directory and telephone
directory show his name as i nomas
J. Flynn," but plebians and patric
ians alikecall him "Tom!" Officially
"he bears the designation of United
'States marshal for this district.
" .
? The accompanying picture de
picts Tom at about the time he at
tained his majority, when he was
dreaming of becoming a plutocratic
plumber, instead of a puissant poli
tician. Tom's parents knew a family by
!lhe name of O'Connell in Ireland.
The Flynns and the O'Connells
ttame to the United States without
'knowing--of the movements or
'hereabcuts of each other until
"many years later and therein lies
"the interest of the story. The Flynns
fettled in Omaha and the O'Connells
located on a farm about 20 miles
'cast of Council Bluffs.
Sam Old O'Connells.
is The-elder Flynns went to the
'"Columbian exposition in Chicago in
'1993, and through friends they
learned that the O'Connells had been
'at the exposition two weeks before.
They did not know for a certainty
Uhat this- was the family that they
;had known in Ireland, but they were
determined to look them up. When
they returned to Omaha they wrote
:a letter, and then visits followed,
"which' proved that the O'Connells
Jwere their old friends of other days
i ;fn Erin's Isle. '
.- Tom accompanied his parents on
.i visit" to the O'Connell farm and he
discovered that among the family of
! cliia parents' friends was I young wo
. "pwn whose charms were peculiarly
m keeping with the ideals he had
cherished for a long time. He
planned his, campaign of attack upon
"ier heart by writing letters, sending
Valentines on Valentine's day, and
otherwise showing' his attentions.
.Tom's trips to the O'Connell farm
Jecamer more frequent and the
years. went by in pleasant ways for
this twain.

"I put up a single-handed fight

photograph which is reproduced
herewith, had something to do with
the case. He sent a copy of this
picture to the O'Connell farm and
Miss O'Connell responded with her
photograph.
"I did not see how she could re
sist that photograph," Tom re
marked reminiscently.
If the exposition had not been
held in Chicago in 1893, it is not
probable that this story could have
been told. Tom declares that he is
glad the exposition was held and
his folks attended.
Did He Expect Just
Grape Juice or Fluid
With More of a Kick?
The magician, Murdock, who mys
tified the multitude at the Boyd
theater all last week, had one trick
which resulted almost in a tragedy
for one of the audience. It was on
Wednesday night that the near
tragedy occurred.
Murdock had a "wonder bottle."
From it he poured any kind of drink
(excepting only those prohibited by
the law which went into effect May
1. 1917.) He asked the folks in the
audience to tell what they wanted
as he passed through the aisle with
a glass.
A man in the second, row asked
for grape juice. Murdock poured it
out and the man drank it, declaring
it to be excellent. A woman in the
fifth row asked for milk and it was
poured out and she drank it. So he
went on. .He returned to the stage
finally, broke the bottle and took
from it a live guinea pig.
As he did this the man in the sec
ond row who had drunk the grape
juice seemed to be taken sick. He
clapped his handkerchief to his lips
and hastily left the theater.

If Snow White Pigeon
Alights On Auto Is It
A Good or a Bad Omen
Is a pigeon the same as a dove,
and if so, is it a good or bad omen
when one lights on the large army
touring car used by Col. G. S. Bing
ham? "The colonel is consulting
books on bird lore to answer this
question.
As Colonel Bingham left his car
Friday morning and entered the
Henshaw hotel, a pigeon, snowy
white, lit on the radiator of the ma
chine. When he returned 20 min
utes later, it was sitting on top of
the windshield. The bird was so
tame that the colonel was almost
able to stroke it with his hand, and
when he drove to the U. S. Army
building, the bird accompanied him,
perched quietly on the' windshield.
"I haven't decided what kind of
an omen the bird represented," de
clared Colonel Bingham, "but till I
find out different I'm going to con
sider it a good omen."
Plainview Man Has
Watch Given Him by
The Bee 32 Years Ago
J. V. Gould of Plainview,' Neb.,
is proud of the state in which he
lives, and he is proud" of Omaha, the
metropolis of the state. He makes
frequent visits to the city and never
leaves without paying his respects
to The Bee, which he has not missed
reading for the past quarter of a
century.
Mr. Gould is carrying a gold
watch which was awarded him in a
subscription contest 32 years ago.
He had the watch with him yester
day and exhibited it to the boys in
The Bee office.
"I would not' part with it under
any conside .ation," declared the
Plainview booster. "Aside from its
value as a time-piece it means a
great deal to me from the stand
point of sentiment.'

THEMSELVES.
If Temperance
Men, Turks
Probably no man in Nebraska was more affected by the histor
ic act of the legislature of Nebraska, when it ratified the amend
ment to the constitution and, as the 36th state of the union so to do,
made the nation dry, than J. S. Hunter, Omaha.
Seized with the divine affatus, his muse broke into the the fol
lowing swan song, in which he characterized the average Nebraska
legislator as "The Modern Saint:"
. From the earliest dawn of history
And the earliest days of man,
They drank the juice of the luscious grape.
Deny this fact, who can?
The founder of our Christian faith
Considered it no crime,
For did He not, at the wedding feast,
; Produce the sparkling wine?
But if the Savior of the world
Should do the same thing here
They would fine Him to the limit
And jail Him for a year.
Our modern saint so far excells
The saint of the Bible times
That the halo around his saintly head
With added luster shines.
He claims the human race is weak,
That we are frail by nature,
And his only hope to save our souls
, 1 is thlough the legislature.
He hopes to pass more stringent laws;
On one thing he seems bent,
To drive the devil from his throne
And so have hell to rent,
i
For thirteen hundred arid years.
Where the human race was born,
, That land has never once been cursed
By old John Barley Corn;
And if it is true, as we are told.
To judge men by their works,
The greatest blessings of mankind
Should come from the temperate Turks.
--i
No Turk would dare to take a drink
Of brandy, beer or wine.
For their prophet has laid lown the law
: That to do so is a crime.
' But is that land a happy land,
A land that's free from tears?
Go read the history of the world
For the last twelve hundred year.

Last night at the1 glitteftng

united in the sensational, awe

manner by the spiritually rich

The bride entered upon the
massive, muscular and mar
velously moulded arm of her
father, passing through an ave
nue of the largest, longest and
latitudinest tropic palms in cap
tivity, while the air about was
heavy with the shimmering,
seething scent of precious-and
overpowering petals of spring,
ranged in racy and rollicking
array about the handsome and.
harmonious Hicks home. An or

clever, comic and delightfully
daring musicians, supplied the
mushy and melodious music to
which the bridal party modestly
and morally marched. The
grand, gigantic and brobdigna

bald, Drave and best man, Mr.
VW Percy Smithers, awaited
them at the improvised but
otherwise faultless, altar.

Here's how this paradox hap
pened: He was county judge of Nuckolls
county, Nebraska, for four years and
he joined exactly ISO couples in the
bonds of matrimony in that time.
Yet he seemed to learn no useful
lesson from the ISO noble examples.
He has not been joined in the bonds
of matrimony himself, up .to date.
"They were all successful mar
riages, too," he says. "Only one
ended in the divorce court so far as

John began his mundane career
in Monroe county, Ohio, back some
where around the time of the Phila

but a year old his parents took
him and other family impedimenta
and moved to Syracuse, Neb.

moved to Nuckolls county, , near
Superior, where John grew up on
the farm. He was a barefoot boy
who herded the cows and later he
was the barefoot lad in blue over-,
