14 THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1920. flrWINSTORIEjl V lucy y U Irish Twins Visit Grannie. "Sure, it's old we all are togeth er," she said to herself, nodding her head. "The old cabin with the rain leaking through the thatch of a wet day, and the old well with moss on the stones of it. And the hens them telves, too old to cook, and too old to be laying except on the door step in the sunshine, the creatures! But 'tis home, thanks be to God." She lifted her kettle and went slowly hack into the house. The hens tollowed her to the door, but she shut the lower half of it behind her and left them outside. She went to the fireplace and hung the kettle on the hook, blew the coals to a blaze with a pair of leaky hollows, and sat down before the fire once more to wait for the water to boil. She knit round and round her. stocking, and there was no siStlnd of her needle, and the tick-tick of the clock, and the little purring noise of the fire on the hearth. Just as the kettle began to sing, there was a squawking among the hens on the doorstep, and two dark heads appeared above the closed half of the door. A little girl's voice called out, HOLDING A Adele Garrison's Revelations Why Madge's Unselfishness Really Troubled Leila. I was in the condition described in idiomatic feminine parlance as be ing "worn to a frazzle" by the tiifte the afternoon of our departure ar rived. Our train south was scheduled to start from the Pennsylvania station at half an. hour after midnight, but the only, train we could get from Marvin connecting with it left our village at IS minutes after 8. Mother Graham and little Mrs. ' Durkec fretted and fumed over this fate each evidently considering that in some way the railroad schedule ought to be instantly changed for that day at least until their sons respectively came to the rescue and explained to the irate women that they could get into the southern train within an hour after reaching the Pennsylvania station, and go di rectly to their drawing rooms. Then they turned their restless, frenzied energy upon their baggage. I. of course, had no opportunity to .observe Mrs. Durkee, but Leila, pausing for winute's breathless gossip in delivJing a message for her prospective mother-in-law, said whimsically: "Do you know, Madge, she has un packed her suitcase seven times to my knowledge. And each time she almost weeps because she cannot get in something more. I'm morally cer- I'M THE GUY! I'm tfie guy who uses the open car window for a cuspidor regard J less of consequences to passengers sitting at the open windows behind him. If it is unpleasant for them, let them shut their windows or change their seats. They can't expect me to swallow my cud or stop chewing just on their account. I don't think about them, and what's more I don't care about them, i I've got a right to chew tobacco any place I please and if it necessi tates the performance, every now and then, of a little act that finds the window convenient, why I go to it. " Of course, if I was somewhere where I couldn't get away with it, I'd have to stop chewing. But there's the open window right beside me and nothing to stop me from using it but consideration for others. And I haven't got that, so you have to stand for it. Copyright, UtO, Thompson Feature Service. WHY? Does a Humming Bird Hum? (Copyright, 1930, by the Wheeler Syn dicate, Inc.) Though the ' smallest of all birds, the humming-bird makes a noise peculiar to its species by reason of the ceaseless energy with which it moves its wings in the course of its search for hon ey. In comparison to the size of its body, the wings of the humming-bird are quite long and slender. In order to remain poised in the air, the bird is forced to move or flap these with extreme rapidity so swiftly, in fact, that the movement is per ceptible to the eye only as a con fused blur, like a moving picture which is being run too fast. It is this beating upon the air that produces the drone or hum char acteristic of this bird which, equipped with long bill, can ex tract the juice even from very deep flowers. The smallest of all this species of birds is found in the West Indies and in South America. Its usual length is about an inc" and a quarter and it weighs only twenty grains, being exceeded in both weight and size by several species of bees. Tommorrow -WHY Do Some People Freckle Easily? "How are you at all, Grannie Ma lone?" And a little boy's voice said, "We've come to bring you a sup of milk that mother sent you." Grannie Malone jumped out of her chair and ran to the door. "Och, if it's not the McQueen Twins the two of them!" she cried, "Rless your sweet lnces! Come in, Larry and Eileen! You are as welcome as the flowers of spring. And how is your mother, the day? May God spare her to her comforts for long years to come!" She swung the door open a she talked, took the jug from Eileen's hand, and poured the milk into a jug of her own that stood on the dresser. "Sure, mother is well. And how is yourself, Grannie Malone?" Eileen answered, politely. "Barring the rheumatism and the asthma, and the old age in my bones, I'm doing well, thanks be to God," said Grannie Malone. "Sit clown by the fire, now, now, till I wet a cup of tea and make a cakeeh for you! And indeed it's yourselves can read nie a letter from my son Michael, that's in" America! It has been in the house these three days waiting for some one with the learn ing to come along by." She ran to the chair and picked up the letter. The Twins sat down on a little bench by the fireplace, and Grannie Malone put the letter in their hands. "We've not got all the learning yet," Larry said. "We might not be able to read it." "You can try," said Grannie Ma lone. Then she opened the letter, and a bit of folded green paper with printing on it fell out. "God bless the boy," she cried, "there"s one of those in every letter he sends me! 'Tis money that is! Can vou make out the figures on it, now?" HUSBAND New Phase of of a Wife tain it will burst before we get on the train." "Mother Graham's record to date is 11, I think," I returned gayly, but softly, with wary eyes upon the door of my mother-in-law's room. "And t ach time she expresses her opniion of the 'government,' which she holds directly responsible for the traffic conditions that made it necessary to send the trunks on ahead of time. But I don't mind. It occupies her mind and her time. -She announced this morning that she wouldn't have a minute's time to help me today, that I would have to get on by my self, and because of that decision I am going to be able to make the train comfortably." Leila Explains. Leila laughed softly, then a troubled look shadowed her lovely eyes. of Mrs. Durkee's mind," she said wisttuiiy. "lell me, Madge, do you think I did wrong in inviting Rita Brown to my wedding? I felt and Edith felt even more strongly than I that there was no other possible course, but it seems as though I've made a bad mistake.

Madge Is Imperative. "There is one thing I can do to make things smoother for you," said, ignoring her last seutnece and agitation, "and that is to invite Miss Brown to share the drawing room my father procured for me. But I do not want you to s;iy any thing about it to anybody, not even to Alfred, mind " I held up an ad monishing forefinger "until 1 ask Miss Brown myself tonight." "Oh!"

In order to check the efficiency of the filtering and ozonating machinery a chemical and bacteriological examination of the water is made each day. While it is almost impossible to make the results of these investigations so that they may be understood by those who are not familiar with the methods employed by bacteriologists for, the purpose of determining the purity of water. photos of incubated plates and fermentation tubes will be posted from time to time togatner with their interpertation, and the public may rest assured that the water. will be at all times free from danger of infection.
