Picnics! Ha, three, thousand rap-1
- turesl
Soon the denizens of the city will
be cavorting countryward in a cloud
of dust to consort with Mamma Na
tuie and to pick the insects from
between the sandwich, or else to
convey bulging bundles to the
greenswards in the parks, there to
acquire grass stains and get ache-
of-the-stomach.
" A great institution is the picnic.
Why sit comfortably in the cafe
teria when one might be sitting on
: sandburs and catching chiggers?
Though sand does get in your teeth,
. and ants in the jelly, can that spoil
Vthe, pleasure of hearing the turtle
coves turning ana xne quaiis quau
ing, and when dusk come on, to
hear the bull frog mooing to the
cow frog and see the lightning bugs
with their Daylos? Why sit in
doors and eat? Why not give the
flies outside a chance?
This is the Life.

nic conveyor) and you and your
family pile in and in half an hour
you are seeking a location in some
bosky dell (whatever that is) or
' some likely spot to start the mas
catory ceremonials.
- Ant hills, as a rule, give a very
pleasing undulation to the snow

out of the baskets at once and then
it'p a race to see who gets to it
first, yon or the bugs.

AVhen a man gets to be , presi
dent of the board of education of a
metropolitan city he begins to get
in the spotlight, on -the front page,
... and is ".mentioned in the dispatches"
now and then. He gets to sit at
the speaker's table and on the plat
form. "
This introduces W. E. Reed, pres
ident of the Board of Education; and
.. formerly a star in the gymnasium
of 'the Young Men's Christian as
sociation. It is , a long step from
' his days In the "Y". gym to his
present positiort, but for -the pur
pose of this brief review his acro
batic days must Ije referred to.
.- Steamboating Loses Charms,
t." Mr. Reed began his career in
Fulton, 111., where he was born and
where he lived 'until he was 11 years
' old.. From Fulton he moved to
i Clinton, where steamboat life at
tracted him for a few years. When
steamboating lost its charms he de
cided that the best place on tbe
map was Omaha, so he arrived here
at the age of 19 and straightway
started to get down to business.
He was attracted to the Young
Men's Christian association gym
nasium, where he spent five eve
nings each week under the instruc
tion, of W. A. Sheldon, who later
served' as city councilman. Mr.
Reed became one of the most pro
:,. ficient all-around athletes in Oma
ha. He became an adept at somer
saults and flips and all of the stunts
known to the circus acrobat.
' Charley Meyers at that time was
: known as the association Indian
. club swinger. There were many
calls for the services of this team
who could put on quite a show be
tween, them.
: One day Meyers told Mr. Reed
: that he had been invited to give an
exhibition at a church ice cream
. lawn social at Thirty-first and
Corby streets. At first Mr. Reed
asked to be excused, but when urged
he agreed to go. The team of
Meyers and Reed made suite a hit.
At the sociat Mr. Reed met a
. "certam young lady' who give him
l several dishes ot ice cream and
everal iijK-ifcajge,.ajod .then-thejyinced of its merits. xVhgn he came

you spread your coat on the ground,
lie on your back and smoke and
think how criminal it is to be in
doors or in the city on an evening
like this. '
Sometimes it rains. Every year
the butchers and grocers have a
picnic. Do you get me? It rains.
They are the original rainmakers.
They are thinking seriously of mak
ing it an annual aquatic sport's
carnival. Anyway, the two principal
delights about picnicking are the
anticipation and retrospection.

J
oe Hummel Wants
to Know if He Looks
Like a Bootlegger
"Now, do you think I look like a
bootlegger?" asked Joe Hummel,
former city commissione'r, as he
stood at the corner of Seventeenth
and Parnam streets, holding the
Omaha National Ba- ' building tip
with one' hand and a stalwart cigar
with the other hajid.
"No I never took you for a boot
legger," responded George Jewett
and John Rine. f
"Well, I have been taking the
family out on trips in the flivver over
into Iowa, and I have been mak
ing the roads to Glenwood and to
Missouri 'Valley, and coming home
some of the fellows along the way
have stopped me and asked me if I
had something to sell," continued
Joe. '-"One chap only last week
asked me if I had a successful trip
during the previous week. Now, do
you really think that I look like a
bootlegger?" he repeated.
Jewett and Rine consoled Joe by
assuring him that he looks like a
self-respecting citizen, like a man
of family, and they could not under
stand why anybody should be so' un
couth as to mistake him for a whisky-runner.
"Have a cigar," added Joe, as he,
wiped away a tear-drop.

days went by just as they do in
the whirlgig of time.
That Certain Young Lady.
A few days after the church func
tion Meyers met Dr. Reed and re
marked that the "certain young
lady" had been asking after the
young man who had given such a
fine exhibition of his physical prow
ess. Mr. Reed became interested.
He met jthe young lady again and
then agam. He lived in those days
at Park avenue and Pacific street
and she lived at Thirty-first and
Corby streets, something of a walk
if he had to walk the distance today,
but he avers that he covered the dis
tance many times and thought noth
ing of it. He became so familiar
with the route that after a while he
could traverse it in the'dark without
getting lost

Alleviating Marriage.
Nearly an hour was consumed, one
afternoon last week, by District
Judge Day in hearing and granting
six divorces. The plantiffs in each
case had to, wait four weeks after
filing her suit before the divorce
could be legally granted!
How can such things be!
Why are the divorce laws so
rigid and -strict? Why is it neces
sary for divorce seekers to wait
nearly a month to get a divorce?
Why is this hardship imposed upon
them?
The Bumble Bee has devised a
plan whereby this great injustice
shall be eliminated. The plan con
sists of having a "divorce coupon"
attached to each marriage license is
sued. . (
If a. husband and, wife quarrel and
decide to separate it will not be
necessary to go to the bother of fil
ing a suit and then waiting a month,
and then spending another 15 min
utes in court while the judge signs
the decree. It will be merely neces
sary to detach the coupon, fill in the
date line and mail it to the clerk of
the district court, accompanied by
a fee of 40 cents for recording.
The clerk of ; the court will then
mail the divorce decree (within two
days) to the ex-husband and ex
wife. Freedom within 48 hours! No
waste of time and carfare going to
and from the court house. No con
suming of the time of the judges!
No heavy fees, which sometimes
make divorce cost as much as $15
under the present system.
The Bumble Bee's plan truly fills
a long-felt want.

Emerald, Birthstone '
For May, Known to the
World for 3,CQ0 Years
Emerald is the birthstone for May
as tin diamond is for April. The
two ctoncs fit the gem color to the
months. The diamond is typical of
the crystal raindrops trTat fall so
abundantly in April and the emerald
of the grass and leaves that make
the .orld green in May.
The emerald is an older jewel
than the diamond. It ranked with
the ruby and the sapphire as the
most precious jewels of the ancient
world. It'. was among the treasures
of the -earliest kings of history.
Beautiful emeralds" have been found
in the tombs of the pharoahs who
ruled Egypt 3,000 years before
Christ. They were worn bj the
Greeks ' and Romans. Many have
been recovered from the ruins of
Pompeii. No jewel, except the ruby
and sapphire, has enjoyed a fashion
able vogue through so many cen
turies. It is as highly prized today
as it was- before the pyramids were

here lies the tale.
.Recently the Hospe Music com

There was a colored jazz band with
lots of pep, and the dancers found
it quite impossible to resist the
tempting "Shimmy" steps. In fact,
they didn't try to resist.
'Finally Harry de Bolt, awaken
ing to his duty of official "Shimmy"
preventer, stepped forth and uttered
a dark and devious threat.
"If you don't stop 'Shimmying'
I'll turn the lights out," he is quoted
as sayjng.
A moment's silence, and then
came a voice from some irrepressi
ble youth in the crowd: "'Gee, won't
that be? fine!" . '

the dance went on.

size of a pint of cider.
One of the studies required her to

only by. young men. She was so

further, than the threshold of the
door.

Playful Little Goat
Causes Trouble When
Lad Wants It as "Pal"
J .
"Einer," young goat, caused Vin
cent Masalaska, 12 years old, 5215
South Thirty-first street, to stray
from the straight and narrow path
of complacent virtue and to become
enmeshed in the toils of the law.
"Full many a weary day" the
young lad had watched the carefree
capers executetd by a little brown
and black goat. To his mother he
had cften, whimpered his longing to
possess the animal. But wish as he
might he could not gain possession
of "Einer." The sheep drivers at
the Swift packing company refused
to part with the frisky little animal.
"It is difficult to drive sheep , to
the slaughtering floor . or .to anv
other place without a leader," they
explained. They were training the
goat to act as leader, for the sheep.
But the childrish mind of Vincent,
once centered on gaining possession
of the prized goat, refused tp be
satiated with mere explanations of
the animal's utility. He imagined
that the happiness of the world
would be his on obtaining his desire.
So he decided to get "Einer"
through illegal channels.
One evening Vincent is alleged to
have crept to the pen in which the
goat is kept. He crawled over the
fence which imprisoned "Einer" and
then silently lifted the animal and
set it over the other side. He car
ried it to his home. In a few days
Vincent and the goat were fast
friends. They played together and
together they romped over all the
surrounding district. .
But Vincent's happiness was short
lived. One of the sheep drivers saw
the goat at Vincent's home and his
arrest fcllowed. He was charged
with incorrigibility and aurned over
the the juvenile authorities.
"Einer," who seems despondent
over the loss of his little friend, will
be rcturntd to his proper owners.

guilty to petit larceny, the judge
was in his characteristic mood. Most
judges would have given a cold look
at the prisoner and pionounced
sentence. Judge Sears leaned back
in his chair and looked the well
dressed, carefully barbered young
fellow over. Elliot's attorney ex

guilty because "he wants to leave
town for a while.

jail! Can't leave town then, can
he?"
"Why in the dickens did you do
this?" he suddenly shot at the pris

Tries to Eat Plums On

man to taste the bitter fruit of

street car.
Eve, transformed into the mod

seats on the car at about 10 o'clock
Wednesday evening. Her hat was
decorated with large and appetizing
looking plums, very realistic in ap

with her friend. Finally a man show
ing the effects" of too much liquor
boarded the car. He took a seat
directly in the rear of Eve. He
sat there listlessly mumbling to
himself in a drunken stupor.
The bright color of the plums
finally attracted his attention. He
gazed at them for some time. as if
in doubt. Then with drunken reso
lution he extended his hand and
ripped off one of the olums from
the girl's hat. He clapped the fruit
to his mouth. A scream of the girl
accompanied this act.
But the stone resisted his best
efforts. "Here, he said to the girl,
