16 THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1920. fpN:OTKr Grandmother Telli the Dutch Twins . a Story. By and by they all satz-down to dinner, and I can't begin to tell you how pood it wasl It makes one hun gry just to think of it. They had roast goose and onions and tutnlps and cabbage; They had bread and butter, and cheese, and sweet cakes. "Everything except the flour in the bread, we raised ourselves," said Vrouw Vedder. "The hens gave us the eggs; and the cow, the butter. The Twins heljjed Father and me to : take care of the chickens and to milk the cow, and to make the but ter; so Ms our very own St. Nich olas feast that we are eating." ', "A farmer's life is the best life there is," said Father Vedder. They sat a long time at the table; and Grandfather told stories about when he was a boy; and Father Ved der told how Kit and Kat learned to skate; and Kit and Kat told how they saw St. Nicholas riding on a white horse, and how htj sent them the very things they wanted; and they , all erfjoyed themselves very much. . After dinnes. Grandmother. Win kle sat downin the chimney corner and called Kit and Kat. "Come here," she said, "and I'll tell-you some stories about St. Nich olas." The . Twjns brought two little stools and sat beside her, one -on each side. She toolf our her knit ting; and as the needles clicked in her fingers, she told this story: . "Once upon a time, many years ago, three little brothers went out one day to the woods to gather fag gots. They were just about as big as you are, Kit and Kat. "Were they all three twins?" asked Kat. "The story doesn't tell about that." said Grandmother twinkle; "but maybe they were. At any rate, they all got lost in the woods and wan dered ever so far, trying to find their way home. But instead of finding their way home, they just got more and more lost all the time. They were very tired and hungry but, they were very brave boys not one of them cried." "It's lucky that none of those twins were girls," said Kit. "I've even heard of boy twins that cried, when the dog carts ran away, or something of that kind hap pened," sa'd Grandmother Winkle. "But you shouldn't interrupt; it's not polite." . v "Oh!" said Kit very meekly. Tomorrow St. Nicholas Story Continued. What Do You Know? (Here's chance to make your wltg worth money.

It takes a high-power boy, without any Streak of yellow in him, to tackle the job of birds' nest photo graphy. Of course, the old business of collecting nests andUtrds" eggs'is out of date, no fellow does it any more. - Most boys who are Avorth their salt want to do something that hasn't been done' before, or, at least, some thing that hasn't often been done be fore. All the better if it's something of real use. Good series of photographs of birds on their nests are valuable for scientific purposes. There are quite a Mot of birds Who have been photo graphed on their nests, but these are generally ground-dwelling or bush dwelling birds. Take a comparatively easy one, first,' such as a crow's nest. Have you ever figured what a job it wduld be to find one so situated that you could build a permanent blind on a tree near by, with a camera focussed and fixed so as to bear on the nest? Then, to have a lonjr piece pf fish line running all the way down the tree to a blind on the ground, so that you could make the exposure at ex actly the same minute, every day, for a month? Then, to climb the tree after dark, when the crows were asleep, to change the plate or roll to. a fresh film? lhats a whole spring's work, but if you did it, the record would be valuable to science, and, incidentally, worth a pot of money. For the adventurous fejjow, who is willing to "risk "a buffet from tl powerful wing, or the clutch of talons in his'shoulder, the photo graphing of a duckhawk's nest on a ledge of rock, or a fish-hawk's nest at the top of a talk tree, will give all the excitement needed. There are only two such records inthe world. Of course, if done with a motion pic ture camera, the money value would be big. " (Tomorrow The Paper-Chase.)

"There, Sis,vhow's that?" , Gordon pointed with pride to a hanging flowerbox he had made to fit a new hybrid variety of flower, in which his sister was especially interested. "You said that flower ought to' be hanging. See, it's all complete, tin lined and all." . -"Why, it's a beauty, Gordon, it does not look home made a bit." "Oh, yes it does, though,"- the boy retorted. "That's my own design. Didn't copy, it from anywhere. No, sir, there's juat one flower box in the world like that, and it's' yours. Birthday, you know." "Oh, I don't mean that it looks like a shop oneY I mean it's as well made as any shop one. I hadn't a notion you could handle tools so well." "Well, you see, Sis, most of the stuff I've been making has just been for my own fun. I wanted to get the rough of it. But I thought you'd just look for a little finer fin ish, so I made it that way. Only trouble I had was in trying to think put a new pattern. I'd have asked you, of course, only being for your birthday, I couldn't." "Well, lok here, Gordon, I really can design. Father's birthday's only a month away. Do you suppose, if I designed a real pergola, with banging baskets for those drooping creepers of his, you could make it? I believe you could, now I've seen how beautifully you've doue this." "Sure I could. It'll be a tough job to get it done in a month, but if you'll draw me everything to scale 1 won't have to waste time and can go right ahead. We'll set it the day before, and you find some way to keep father from going into the garden on that evening. It's a (Tomorrow Puppy Love.) f V : .

WEEPING FRIENDS . ATTEND SERVICES . FOR JOE MARINO Countrymen of Murdered! Man Accompany Stricken Family Through Sad OrdeaJ. Scores of mourners were unable to Rain entrance to the chapel in the Duffy-Johnson undertaking parlors yesterday afternoon, when services were held for Joseph Marino, Italian truckx gardener, who was murdered Saturday night. -In the street, where many stood were two little children. ' They were John, 7 years old, and Salvina, 4 years old, two children of the mur dered man. Unable to understand the sadness of the occasion, the youngsters played ball while mourn ers were wcepinsr. From the undertaking parlors the funeral cortege moved to St. Anns church. Ihe wite had to be as sistcd from an automobile into the church. Her .little 4-months-old babe, covered in crepe, was carried i .. . : r Speaking at the church, Father Michael Magno said: ihc Italian people are not wicked.. They are energetic, honest and thrifty. One fault of our people is that tney lose their heads too quickly in their an ger. The murder of Joseph Marino shows that. I don't know who the murderer is and I don't care to know." Burial was in Holy Sepulcher cemetery. The funeral expenses will be borne by buntrymen, some of whom did not know Marino. Friends of the family said yesterday that they would see that Mrs. Marino s wants are met. ' Central High Students Organize. "Overall Cllub" Central High students have form ed an "Overall Club," Members are required to wear overalls each day of the week except drill days. Those who do not live up to,this rule will be punished in some'way, according ' to J. G. Masters, princi pal. Ed Gordon, sophomore, has been elected president and J. Will Adam son," senior, secretary. Mr. Masters is sponsor. More than 35 students have signed the pledge already. About SO more are expected to sign before the week is over. Owing to the high cost of overalls some students are conspiring to or ganize a rival club, to be known as the ".Old Clothes Club." I ' Wool Purchasing Bureau Planned by Omaha C. of C. Efforts' to establish a wool pur chasing business in Omaha are being made by the agricultural bureau of the Or.iaha Chamber of Commerce for - the encouragement of small flocks in Nebraska and Iowa, and to prevent the discontinuance of the raissing'of sheep for their wool by the ordinary farmer. According to H.. p. Mcintosh, manager of the bureau, there is no outlet in Omaha for small clips of wool that is sufficiently attractive to induce farmers to continue main taining small flocks. A few hide buyers are in the market for wool, he said, but none of them offer prices near enough the market quotations to move farmers to sell. ' Runnerup Files Contest ' Suit on Justice Nominee Alleging that L. N. Bunce, dom inated in the April primary as re publican candidate for justice of the peace, filed a fraudulent report of campaign,, expenses. Norman C. Gault, runner-up in . the primary, filed suit in the district court yesterday, to contest Bunce's nomination. Bunce passed over the charges as due to Gault's chagrin at losing out in a close race and declared Jhat he has made a true report of expenses. Gault claims that Bonce's report does not include a large amount of newspaper advertising which would bring thetotal of Bunce's expendi tures above the limit of $316.34 as reported.

Enough sheets are manufactured in Philadelphia each year to provide a pair for every home in the United States. little sympathv Given landlords in chicago fight WHY?- Are Wedding Rings Worn? The custom of wearing a ring of metal as a symbol of -marriage dates back to the dawn of history. In the fourth chapter of Genesis we read that Tubal Cain gave a ring of iron to his sou that with this symbol he should espouse a wife. It is, of course, ifar from certain that Tubal Caiiv was the originator of this custom, but it is a fact that the most ancient of peoples made use of the ring sometimes on the finger, some times in the nostrils, sometimes as an anklet as a sign that the wearer had been married. The use of a gold ring is of more modern origin, the earlier wedding ring having been or iron or even of clay, and is attribut able to the fact that the more Iecious metals have become bet ter known and , more "fashion able," just as the latest develop ment of Tubal Caji iron circlet is a hoop of platinum, set with diamonds. But the significance is the same as in the days when cavemen battled for existence with prehistoric monsters. Tomorrow's question: Why Are Furs Expensive? Have Poor, Success in Attempts To Oust Tenants by Court rvouie. , I . . Chlraajo Tribune-Omaha Bee leased Wire. " Chicago, May 4. Landlords, profiteering and otherwise, arc not faring well in the courts. They find that bailiffs are in sympathy with the .tenantsand thaVit is difficult to serve notices of eviction. They also discovered today that it will take ninety days to serve eviction notices now pending.. Much may happen in ninety days, especially in view of the fact that the landlords, who have been shouting that no apartments were to be had at any price, yester day threw on the market a thousand flats they had been Jiolding under cover. It is said they have an addi tional 2,500 available. , The sheriff's office was besieged tcday by landlords, agents and prospective tenants, all clamoring that tenants who were refusing to pay the enormously increased ren tals or to move, be thrown into the streets. The sheriff andhis men re fuse rohe stampeded. .In all qases where the tenant now holding the fort actually intends to "move as soon as his new flat is available, he will not be disturbed. The bailiffs are also trying to arrange it sp that when one tenant mcves put, the suc cessor shall move in the same day, thus avoiding putting anybody upon the street.-"! have no legal right to delay evictions," said Chief Bailiff Egan, "but we are overwhelmed by protesting landlords. They wiil have to await their turn. There are so many eviction notices to serve that it may take'0 days." Eviction notices tacked to the doors of flats have received scant courtesy from the tenants, who tear them off.
