t THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1920. WIN STORK FITCH Japanese Twin Seethe Doll House " and Garden. Take bought a little doll for Bot' Chan, too, with her own money. It was a funny little doll without any legs. He was fat, and when any one knocked im over, he sat up again right away. She called him a "Da ruina." Pot'Chan seemed to like the Da ruma. He put its head in his mouth at once and licked it. Just then Take saw O Kikua San. 0 Kiku San was Take's best friend, ;md her home was not far from the little house where the twins lived. O Kiku San had been to buy a doll, too. She had her new doll on her back. It was a large doll, with a red kimono. She ran to speak to Take. "Won't you come into my house on your 'way home?" she asked. "May I, mother?'1 said Take. Her mother said, "Yes," so the little girls ran together to O Kiku .San house. Other little girls came, too, to see O Kiku San's dolls. She had just as many dolls as Take. She had five shelves, too, and she had an em peror and empress doll. But she had no house to play with. "Come home with me and see my 'new house, all of you," Take said when the little girls had looked at O Kiku San's dolls. So they marched in a gay proces sion to the little house in the garden. All the other girls' brothers had had a very lonesome day, but Taro had had fun all the afternoon with the little garden. He had made a little well, and a kura to put in the garden. He made them out of boxes. The WHY? Do We Say "Bless You!" When a Person Sneezes? (Copyright, 1920. by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Among the Greeks and Ro mans sneezing was generally looked upon as a very favorable omen, mythology having it that Cupid sneezed whenever a beau tiful girl was born and the Ro man gallants were fond of mur muring to their lady-loves, "Ster nttit tibi amor" "Love has sneezed for you!" as an impli cation of great beauty. Gradually, however, the "belief gained prevalence that sneezing was a sign of death probably on account of the spread of the Jewish tradition that, from the time of Adam to Jacob, to sneeze was to presage almost immedi ate disaster. Another form of this legend is to be found in the folklore of many oriental na tions, to the effect that whenever one of the fates or judges of eternity turns the page of the book of life those whose names are next to appear sneeze and the hearers therefore invoke a blessing on their future. The universality of the custom may be gathered from the fact that practically every language contains its equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon "God bless you!" which follows a sneeze. In Ital ian it is "Felicita!" In French, "Bonne sante," or "Dieu vous benisse!" while the Germans use "Gesundheit!" Even the tribes of Africa have a similar saluta tion and the Persian Zend-Avesta states: "Whensoever it be that thou hearest a sneeze given by thy neighbor, thou shall say unto him 'Ahunovar' and so shall it be well."

They thought the doll house the most beautiful toy they had ever seen, and when they saw the garden, you can't think how happy they were! "We wish our brothers would make gardens like that for us," they said. Taro felt proud and pleased to have them like it so much, but all he said was, "It's very polite of you to praise my poor work!" Then the mother brought out sonic sweet rice cakes. The maids brought out tiny tables and set them around, placed it with toy cups on her little table. Then she made real tea, and they had a party! For 'candy they had sugared beans and peas. They gave some of everything to the dolls It was nearly time for supper when the little girls ' nved to Take and her mother, said "Sayonara" very politely, and went home. Take sat up just as late as she wanted to that night. It was 8 o'clock when she went to bed. She hugged each one of the 35 dolls when she said good night to them. "Sayonara, Sayonara," she said to each one; "good-by for a whole year, you darling dolls!" Then she went to her dear old glory and went happily to bed. (Rights reserved hy Houghton-Mifflin Co.)

You may think it's none of my business, but how do you know what I'd be interested jn?

But if you're gos siping about someone else, I just stick around and get an ear full. If you're talking with someone. I know, I have a right to talk to them, too, and if I don't know them I want to meet them. And if you don't pay any attention to me, I hang around just the same. You can't lose me if you try. So you might as well make the best of it and let me in on it. That's what I butt in for. Copyright, 1920, Thompson Feature Service. V.

Chlcugo rribune-Oi.-.ha Bee 1. fa wed Wire. New York, June 17. Deep in the rut which developed three weeks ago, when republican delegates were gathering at Chicago, the stock mar ket today displayed a degree of in ertia seldom seen before i i the cur rent year. At first industrial issues moved lower, guided by a decline of more than hve points in Crucible Steel and later recovery was listless. In fact, it was only among specialties that there was any noteworthy strength in dealings of the afternoon and the general list left off highly irregular? with not much to choose from in point of net declines and gains. Call mcney lent at 7 Rer cent for renew als and new loans. Liberty bonds were also irregular and cotton had a moderate rally following a reac tion in the first hour. The silver market supplied more inter est than did securities, it was natural to expect a vigorous upturn as the result of Wednesday s agreement between gov ernment officials and silver producers for purchases of imerlcan metal at $1 per ounce, but It was somewhat surprising to see so vigorous a rise as that which oc curred at London. Over there the frac tional gain of the previous day swelled Into an abrupt advance of 4 id per ounce to 49Vsd. Art In Sympathy. The two markets, of course,' act In sym pathy, yet the factor which carried sil ver up at New York had not altogether a similar aoolicatlon to the metal in for- Telgn markets, especially Hi Europe, where, It Is reported, the melting aown 01 con tinental coin is bringing out a lot of of ferings which are unlikely to find much support for a time at least in demand within the United States. News that the mint would buy under the Plttman act silver of undoubted origin, fixed the oeen market rate for such metal at 994c per ounce and also necessitated a separate quotation for foreign silver which local dealers made 90c for today's purchases. The forward movement ot sterling ex change became more pronounced after the weekly statement of the Bank of England had been studied. The cable, rate rose to $3,994. a net gain of SHc with a final quotation of $.1.98. The bank's report on bullion holdings showed an Increase for the week of nearly $4,000, 000 at the current rate of exchange, mak ing the Increase of the last three weeks more than $21,000,000. Expect New Shipments. The deduction to be made from this expansion of gold, similar to that which preceded the transfer of $51,000,000 to the United States last March, was that preparations were going forward for new hlpmevts against the Anglo-French loan payment in the early autumn. Today's sterling quotation was the highest since the second week of April, when the mar ket was .receding from its maximum level of the year well nbove $4 to the pound. Italian exchange displayed strength and a firm tone prevailed among nearly all the continental rates. Opinion In respect to the foreign ex change situation in the autumn, when food stuffs and raw material usually moved out in quantity, is decldedlf mixed. In bunking circles It is itatod that the strong tone of futures shows forth tlie impres sion held In business quarters that rates will work higher, and this is affecting the ''spot" market, but bankers are not unanimous in the belief that the rise would be sustained. Whether or not the security market Is awaiting the democratic convention with particular economic Interest, it is certiin that the financial community is anxious to soe how labor is to be dealt with in tho platform. The tremendous vote of American Federation of Labor delegates at Montreal in favor of government own ership of railroads, over the protest of Samuel Compere, HTilds the possibility of much activity by labor leaders at the con vention. , New fork Quotations.

Chicago, June 17, A; lack of ag gressive buying combined with a sharpened break in cash corn led to free selling by local traders and a lower close, the finish being at net losses of l(iri!ic on corn, KJl'c on oats, 3Ji4jc on rye and 2c on barley. Strong commission houses bought September corn early, but the locals were more inclined to the selling side than of late, believing a re action was due. Cash corn was firm at the start, but later shippers pulled out and the prices dropped rapidly. The leading industry withdrew from the market in 'the last half hour and precipitated the break. Xo. 2 yellow sold at 12'.c over July early, against 10c over Monday, but was about 9c over July at the last. Sample values unchanged to Sc lower, with receipts 210 ears. Offerings Small.'

Count., offerings of old grain were small, but new xhowed signs ' of Increasing with 6,000 bushels. No 3 white sold at 2c over Sep tember for August shipment. Break In Rye. - A sharp break In rye futures at Minne apolis was reflected In Chicago to a great oxtent but on the decline there was a good class of buying of the July and con siderable July was given up during tho day In exchange for cash grain, although nothing was heard regarding export bids. A sale of 7 cars was made for five-day 7 i shioment at 32.32. i Barley offerings were small and demand I moderate, with prices unchanged. Spot i sales were at $1.521.60. Racelpts, eight car.
