Shipment on Way.
The Bumble Bee, ever a leader in

ranged to sell tripe at cost to the 1
people of Omaha, thus striking a
vital blow at the high cost of liv
ing. ;
One thousand pounds of tripe will I
be brought to Oiriaha from the tripe j
fields of Arizona and sold at 18 i
cents a pound 1 '
This is a considerable reduction !
I from the price prevailing in the

to 20 cents a pound. '
"We are going to help the people
cut the cost of living," said A.
Stinger, editor of The Bumble Bee. i
"We will strike a blow by bringing;
the price of tripe a blow by bringing
of everybody." ' i
The tripe offered 'by The Bumble)
Bee is of the best quality, hand j
picked and packed in refrigerator 1
cars by special arrangement with
the Arizona Tripe association.
The shipment will be shipped in
two special barrels, from the tripe

to Wichita, Kan. There the two
barrels will be transferred to the
Rock Island on which they will be
rushed to Lincoln, Neb., where they

"But don't forget to soak 'em."
With apologies to Whittier and
Sam Morris, poet laureate of the
Omaha police department, the fore
going lines are accredited to a va
grant who was recently sentenced to
30 days in jail in Central police
court upon. the recommendation of
City Prosecutor "Tom" Murray. .
It is a matter of record that
"Tom" has effected more convic
tions on charges of vagrancy,
drunkenness and other petty cases
during his term of office than his
predecessors care to boast.
On one occasion, the prosecutor
is known to have recommended
leniency. That was when an al
leged vagrant informed the court
his name was "O'Toole."
Be they wlu'te, black, Malay, bol

class of bomb-throwers, prisoners
brought to the prosecutor's atten

police judge, a prisoner merely
stands at attention before the court,
utters "Good moriiin', Yerroner,"
and "Couldn't va gimme another

By EDWARD BLACK.
Mrs. Leffingwell was engaged in
her usual S o'clock divertisement of
preparing a table d'hote for Henry,
when Mrs. Wrhat's-Her-Name sprint
ed over to the Leffingwell seat of
government, bringing a large smile
and a desire to add momentum to
any neighborhood . gossip that had
the element of speed.
"I had an awful experience this
afternoon," the caller began. "It
was the worst experience I have had
since the time I tried to cut my
man's hair to save SO cents and the
neighborhood became all cut up over
it when they heard of my tonsorial
efforts.
"Well, when I was returning home
this afternoon on a street car, with
my arms full of packages, the string
on one of the packages became loose
and the contents were revealed on
the car floor and who do you think
was sitting across from me? It was
Mrs. So-and-So and you know how
much she cares for me. Ever since
she has been taking guitar lessons
she will hardly speak to me.
"Well, as I was saying, the pack
age broke open right before her eyes
and I felt embarrassed when I dis
covered that it was not the package
which I at first thought had broken
open. It was only socks, after all.'
So I thought that 1 would come over
and tell you, Mrs. Leffingwell. Have
you heard that Mrs. Two-step
smokes a pipe?"
. Suffers in Silence.
The guardian of the Leffingwell
bed and board suffered in silence
while her caller chatted along on
the goings and comings of her
neighbors, which affairs found no
place in the scheme ofthings in j
the Leffingwell house. Mrs. Lef
fingwell at the moment was more
interested in Henry's feeding time,
which the clock indicated was al
most due.
"I came over to borrow a pinch
of pepper and I think that I must
be going, because if Mr. Leffing
well comes home and fifids me here
again, he will "think that I am liv
ing here," said the caller, as she
took her leave homeward.
Leffingwell appeared on the scene,
having returned home after per
forming eight hours of distin
guished service during the day, as
he believed. He looked over , the
home scene with an imperialistic
air, then uttered an interrogation
which was equivalent to "When do
we eat?"
Mrs. Leffingwell began to suspect
that her chief was due for one of
his pedantic outbreaks. She was
not disappointed.
Folding his napkin at the sup
per table, and assuming a position
which was eloquent with authori
ty, Leffingwell crawled right out
on a limb and then proceeded to
dismember it.

and that it would take 18 months to

"We figured out a deal and I gave

began, "and it is 'courage, candor

Mrs. Leffingwell was beginning tn
feel as if she cnuld knock the dining
table over, with dishes and all, but
she maintained her usual control
and met the situation by telling her
second lieutenant, what she thought
of the subject matter in hand.
"Henry Leffingwell," she purred,
"you have about as much courage
as an oyster. I think you had better

a show of yourself before the neigh-
bors, as a demonstrator of courage,

have been mixing raisins in that

basement for mince meat pie. And,
Henry, you know as much about
being a cheer-leader as our cat
knows about grand opera."
"Say, ma, there's reason in every
thing and raisins' in some things,"
Willie observed.
VWell, Mrs. Leffingwell." Henry
said in conclusion, "it seems to nn
that my words of wisdom in this
house are like throwing pearls upon :

"That isn't right, pa. that isn't .
