The Omaha Sunday Beb
OMAHA. SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1920.
Ujr Wireles IVee-fie Roard 1'rtiu.)
Tlie galloping flatiron on the
ouija hoard spells out the startling
gossip that it is 1 920. and an epi
'demic of perennial mythology is
approaching. (
We could dig up tnc same chron
nological information from a calen
dar, ' but inhaling your parennial
news from a ouija board gives it
the added tinge of mystery and r6
mance so much sought by our lead
ing candidates; in addition it is
more authentic than spiritualism.
Bill Still Hopeful.
The primary blight brings out our
candidates like frost out of the
ground. Off in the grape-juice
mirage we can see Bill Bryan flirt
ing with the presidential bug. Bill
has been a prexy candidate' a num
ber of times, three times hath Bill
vamped the democratic party, and
three times hath Bill been cast upon
the shores by the republican waves.
Bill, is noy Marking that he-is a
contestant at large to the demo
cratic convention.

changed since
Susan B. Anthony took her tooth
brush and lip stick right out on the
suffrage platform. She swatted the
grateful political parties with her
guest rolling-pin, then the politicians
adopted suffrage. The great white
father at Washington, said "Women
came from the rib of man and

wound up by demanding a recount
of the kisses given by the shriller
sex as bribes for a vote.
The picture , in the upper left
hand direction of the above illustra
tion is Lowe C. O'Li' in, son of old
H. C, veteran check book and purse
cracker. He announces his candi
dacy on the repulocrat ticket and is
a nonresident of Omaha.
In the sun splashed space bounded
on one side by type and on the
other side by Bryan, is another can
didate with the turmoil in his brain
distilled into a tranquil peace which
the outdoor world inspired.
Fond Memories Recalled.
While other candidates were hurd
ling down the street laying down
a barrage of assorted cigars and
cards to the amalgamated league of
walking pedestrians, a pint of good
old Scotch was upheld as a dangling
incentive for sustaining 4he initial
vote for his victims.
With his fine technique the dele
gate seeks the range of his popu
larity with a preliminary shot of that
diplomatic language coiunfonly re
served for the unknown game in the
restricted preserves, where a wrong
guess sometimes involves Jhe sub
stance, of the menacing shadows of
prison walls. .
Picking your candidates at the
polls from a long list of names on
three yards of pink paper is an in
teresting pastime. The names and'
little squares are all laid out like a
golf course. You grab a small pen
cil and hop from one square to an
other just like a monkey in a cocoa
nut orchard, making X after your
candidate's name which brands him
for victory or defeat. You then
fold up the little paper, put it in a
barrel with the rest of its play
mates, and the job is completed.
We will soon be reading, "returns

Friend Police Reporter
Covers Social Function
Recalling Vehement Instructions Regarding Libel
Suits, Scribe Alleges Many Happenings Hanging
All Authority for Misstatements On His Old
Standby "Police."
Friend police reporter who gains
more insight into personal matters
of others than a candidate for dele
gate to a woman's neighborhood
convention, was detailed to cover a
party given at the home of Mrs.
Jay Umpty Unip in honor of Miss
Hairy Chin t'other night. Following
is the reporter's version of the fair
or affair:
Miss Hairy Chin of Slow Junc
tion, Nov., was honor guest at a
party given last Saturday night at
the home of Mrs. Jay Umpty Ump.
Neighborhood friends were pres
ent, it is alleged. Mrs. Al Naefer
tus, living next door to the Ump
home, was barred, police say.
. Nothing was missed after the
guests had deported, Mrs. Ump said.
No dogs were allowed and Airs.
Ump reported the affair a grand
success.
After the Alleged
' Police 'were not called as Mrs.
Naefercus went to bed before the
music started. '
Two husbands were missing' tor
two hours, it is said. Their wives
paid no attention to the fact, Mrs.
Ump declared.
When Miss Chin was presented to
the guests for introduction, several
young husbands stumbled over tin
pans in their anxiety to meet her.
Mrs. Ump denied there .was a liquor
still in the house. After the al
leged gang fight, Miss Hairy Chin
denied that she was more' than 38
years old.
Arrested Day Before.
It is 'said that Mrs. Swartzen
berger wore her sister's dress. Po
lice reports show that her sister
was arrested for alleged shop-lifting
the day before the party.
Neighborhood gossip - indicates
that Mrs. Swartzenberger denied
that her husband. Terrence, was in
jail four days before the party.
Whe,n asked by her neighbor, Mrs.
Murphy, about Swartzcnberger's al
leged arrest, she admitted that Ter
rence was in collusion with high
jackcrs on Monday Tuesday, Satur
day and Sunday during the week.
Two detectives were on duty in
the cloak room during the party.
Clarence Doolittle and Mrs. Amy
Swan missed their overcoats.
Sun Rises Shortly.
Soon Dry, neighborhood Chinee,
visited the back door of the Ump '
home with a suitcase during the
party. The grip was leaking when
found by Mrs. Ump, detectives
say. ,
It is alleged that Mrs. Ump
warned Soon Dry about setting the
suit case down so hard hereafter.
The hostess of the party refused
to give the reporter covering the
affair a drink. Police were not
called to quell the alleged disturb
ance, however.
The sun rose shortly after the
guests had departed.
Here's One Woman Who
Does Not Rejoice Over
Franchise of Fair Sex
A woman walked out of the elec
tion commissioner's office yesterday '
morning without registering, be
cause D. A. Kerr, one of the clerks,
asked her age. '
"Is it necessary fof me to tell my
age to register? I will say I am
more than 21, but I won't tell my
age." the woman said.
"The ejection commissioner re
quires your age for the' purpose of
identification when you vote," Mr.
Kerr explained.
"Then the election commissioner
is a fool," the woman rejoined, ad
ding that she guessed there would
be no candidates file that she want
ed to vote for. Then she readjusted
her bonnet 'and swept out of the
room with an air of what appeared
to be righteous indignation.

Omaha gold fish dealers say they

Parson's Religion Is '
, Saved by Purchase of
, Real Horse for Farm
Rev. Charles W. Savidge, marry
ing parson, bought a five-acre farm
south of town a short time ago.
He decided to buy a horse for the
plowing and the farm hauling. His
son suggested a cheap horse, one
worth about $35.
So the parson bought it. But the
horse refused to eat. So the par
son returned it to the man who sold
it to him and demanded another
one.
This one refused to pull anything
and insisted in performing waltz
steps when hitched to a wagon.
"Son," said the parson, "this
horse dealing of yours will make
me lose my religion yet. Take this
$150 and get a regular horse."
Theparson's religion was saved.

And he proves it by the indisput

Jiggs Arouses Appetite pf ,
Omaha for Corned Beef
McManus Cartoons Responsible for High Price of Cab
bage Here; Father Fans Make Demand Much
Greater Than the Supply.
Listen to this, George McManus.
It's your fault that cabbage is so ex
pensive in Omaha. Every time you
so manoeuver "Bringing Up Father"
that "Mr. Jiggs" evades "Maggie"
and dashes down to the kitchen for
a surreptitious feed of corned beef
and cabbage you set Omaha's mouth
to watering for a taste of that de
lectable dish and the price of cab
bage takes a jump.
"It's a case of psychology, the
power of suggestion in advertising,"
is the way one Omaha commission
man explained it
"Several thousand persons in
Omaha, every night read The Bee
most of them are interested in the
doings of 'Maggie' and 'Jiggs,' in
'Bringing Up Father,' and all are in
sympathy with Jiggs' fight to get
corned beef and cabbage on the
table. Unconsciously nine out of
10 men get hungry for corned beef
or ham and cabbage whenever the
subject is mentioned. Did you ever
go to the theater and see a meal
served on the stage? Didn't your
mouth water for some of the same?.
Or did you ever read a Dickens
novel without hungering for some of
the old English dishes he so fre
quently describes in such enticing
detail?
"It is true, and if one notices it
carefully he will know that the day
following a McManus cartoon in
which ham and cabbage is mentioned
the demand for cabbage on the
Omaha market takes a long jump.
"One day in particular I remember
when orders fpr cabbage came in
from all sides. Retailers couldn't get
enough and I sought about for a rea
son. Accidently I picked up The Bee
from the day before and I found my
reason. Jiggs on that day had
broken away from a flock of high
browed persons, made his way to the
kitchen and enjoyed life for a few
minutes, seated at the table with the
cook, a policeman and a pot of ham
and cabbage.'
"Well, the cabbage looked so good
to me that I actually asked my wife
to have a mess the next day. Inci
dentally. I understood why every
groveryman in the city was howling
for more cabbage.
"If the cost of cabbage goes up
Omaha" people can't blame anyone
but Jiggs. That old plebeian is
makina a nation hunary for cabbage.
If he doesn't let up we'll be known as
a nation of cabbage eaters."
Obstreperous Youth First
, To Get Judge Cooley's Goat
Court Room Suavity, Urbanity and Coolness Unsur
passed Until Darky Lad From South" Dakota
Breaks Up the Party by Making Bench Laugh.
"Judge" Julius Cooley is urbane
and suave in the extreme even
when he appears for clients in police
court. But a few days ago a situa
tion nearly "got away" from him.
And all his suavity, urbanity and
coolness couldn't head it off.
The inmates of a negro house
were' on trial. A colored youth had
"blown in" from South Dakota and
looked too much upon the wine
when it was red.
"This boy," began Judge Cooley
is his most unctuous manner, "this
boy came from, the farm, an innocent
lad who was puzzled by the bright
lights"
Ah, com f m town, interposed
the "innocent boy," disgustedly.
"Ah, ain't no fa'm hand." '
The judge was nonplussed only
for a moment.
"Now, judge," he continued, "he
don't know which one of these girls
sold him the liquor. He "
Ah knows it was that one right
the'e," interposed the boy," point
ing to one of the girls.
But you aren t positive which one
of these girls sold you the wine, are
you?" asked "Judge" Cooley.
An mav not be positive, but Ah
knows it was that one,' declared the
youth.
I really haven t had time to pre
pare this case your honor? said
"Judge" Cooley. "Why, I only got
the case a few minutes ago."
How long do you want to pre
pare it?" asked Judge Foster.
Well, I ought to have at least
five or 10 minutes," said Judge
Cooley. "I haven't had time to en-'
gage associate counsel."
"I'll give you 10 minutes," said
the police judge. "Judge" Cooley
went to one side and consulted with
his dusky clients. Soon he returned.
"I am now ready to proceed, youi
honor," he said.
The young man from South Da
kota was again proving obstreper
ous. "Judge" Cooley tried to calm
liim down. But he wouldn't calm.
"Ah wants some 'sociate council,
jedge," he exclaimed at last
At this, even the court exploded
with laughter, and the case was dis
missed. My Summer Retort
I'm going to spend the summer
Right where I did last year.
The place lacked no convenience
Conducive to good cheer.
I had there every comfort,
I did not lack for food,
The cooking was a marvel
And everything was good.
The beds were soft and downy,
I did- not lie awake;
The coffee was delicious
Like mother used to make.
Nobody tried to sting me
On prices for my board;
Mosquities didn't bite me.
No irate boarders roared.
I motored out quite often
At very slight expense;
I was quite close to tennis, ,
And golfing was immense.
Ves, I will spend the summer'
With no desire to roam, .
Itight where I spent it last year
I'm going to stay at home.
