12 THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY. AUGUST 14. 1920. : 1 : 1 V 'si MONEY-MAKING TALENT LOWEST IN THE WORLD Only Love Can Bring Happi ness, Says 76-Year-Old xMan Charged With Murder. Br International Newe Scrrlee. ; Washington, D. C,. Aug. 13. "The talent for accumulating money is the commonest and the lowest talent in the world," says Chester A. Snow, aged millionaire patent at torney, who is under arrest charged with conspiracy to kill his former wife, Addis Hubbard Snow., In addition to Snow, Mrs. Ena J. Acker, a private detective, and Hugh ' Milton Langdon. a chauffer, are also under arrest for alleged complicity. , At the preliminary hearing Henry ! E. Davis, attorney for Mrs. Snow testified that Mrs. Acker came to Mrs. Snow's residence "to expose the most horrible plot I ever knew of." Davis also testified that he had lis tened in" while the woman detective ' telephoned! to Snow of the proposed killing of Mrs. Snow by poison after which the automobile in .which she was to ride while the poison was being administered was to be wreck ed to make it appear that she had died from an accident. A Lover of Children. Snow is a most interesting charac ter. Seventy-six years of age, he looks not more than 55, and he talks with the keen understanding and wit of a man of middle life. He is a philosopher at heart a lover of small children and animals, and, as he says, an omniverous reader and ,a firm believer m the theory that the only life worh while is a life of service. Alout women he thinks a lot, but says little. He tines :ay with Kip ling, however, "I learned about women from her" He quotes an other line from Kipling in connec tion with his three, marriages: "And one of them was prime." Talking with Snow one gets a pic ture of a man who has all the poten tialities of a happy husband and father, but whom circumstances has placed in a position where happy home life is an ' impossibility and domestic bliss a misnomer. Snow admitted himscjf that while he has been quite successful in business he has never had much luck with do mestic affairs. . Married Three Times. "Money came easy to me," he said, "after I got started. But money is not everything. Money can never bring happiness. There is only one thing that can bring happiness, and that is love, com bined with service. . 'I am 76 years old, but, thank the Lord, I still have ideals, and I wouldn't exchangi my ideals for all the . money in th'e world. The unhappiness that has come to me has not shattered my ideals. They never will be shattered." Snow speaks tearfully of his little son, whom the courts have given to his former wife with .the understand ing that he is to spend each Sun day with his father. Snow has married . three times. He remained single until he was 40 years old. By the first wife he had one child, who died when four and one-half year old.. By the sec ond wife, who, he says, was an ideal woman he had another son, Chester A. Snow, jr., who is today a prominent young Washingtonian. The third time he was married at the age of 70 to Addis Hubbard, whom he is now charged with con spiracy to kill.- She was nearly forty years his junior. Negro Who Slashes Throat of Dog Almost Mobbed by Workmen The affection of negro workmen for their pet dog almost caused a riot when Will Owens, 28, negro, employed at the C. W. Hull Coal Co., slashed the dog's throat. He was rescued by C. E. McClain, super intendent of the city dog pound, from the infuriated .mob which at tacked' him. . Owen used his kr.ife on the big brown mongrel yesterday when it . came up to him as he was getting a drink. Several of the workmen showered him with stones as he ran into hiding in a box car. Their threats roused; officials of the com- - pany to the point of calling the riot I squad when the poundmaster ap- l pcared. Mr. McClain hurried the maji : away to the city hall, where he was held on a charge of cruelty to ani mals. A veterinary surgeon gave the dog first aid, but it is not expected) to live.

It would not have taken an expert mental analyst to have discerned that Judge Merten was out of humor. His face was wry and ' his eyes squinted closely together, a trick of his when things had gone wrong. Today a farmer who had a habit of coming in with an indifferent bit of business was to blame for the de lay. The judge probably was wish ing him in purgatory when he came out of his office at 9:45. "Three-quarters of an hour late," he growled to his son. Tack, as he climbed into the front seat' of the' car beside him. "Think we can make it to Rockland by 11 o'clock? Wc"ll have to hustle if we do. Plenty of gasoline?" "Yes, plenty.. Tuned up the old bus this morning, so we won't miss it far." Jack spoke lightly, almost gladsomely. "You don't seem to care much whether we make it or not," the judge went on. Jack did not reply and the judge told him to forget speed limits for once. So they whirled away into the east over a concrete road that was conducive to speed. Judge Merten had an important engagement. There was "Before the circuit court of appeals at Rockland, of which he was a member, a case that would decide, the right of two men to a congressional nomination. They were of the dominant party in the district, and the nomination meant election. There had been a dispute fought through the county court of a neighboring county and r it had been taken up on appeal. Be sides the importance of the session, Judge Merten hated a man who was tardy in filling appointments. "Damn a man who can't be on( timel" Jack heard him say more than once. Perhaps a memory of that statement was partly the reason for the whimsical smile that played around the corners of Jack's mouth as they sped ahead. I The old bus did nobly all the way to Carlton, about half the distance to Rockland. It did not slow down a great deal as it passed through the city. Jack, however, did find . an opportunity to glance down a side street and note a grev runabout with a girl at the wheels The smoke from the exhaust valve communicated 1o him the fact that the engine of the grey car was running. He smiled with satisfaction. , . The Merten car, when it had reached the eastern end of the town, came to a road that was still virgin. And it was not verysmooth. Jack was forced to reduce his speed. For two or three miles they travel ed, and the judge looked at his watch occasionally with an apparent- nervousness. They came to a spot where the road had been raised into a sort of causeway about two feet high. The track was not wide here, and on either side was soggy, wet. black yumbo. It looked suspiciously as if Jack purposely drove the car off the beaten path, miring both " the front and rear wheels on the right. The car ploughed along a few feet and came to a halt. "A f'ne driver yoti are. son!" Judge Merten expostulated. "Could have done better myself." . "That stone threw me off. dad, and I could not heln it," Jack de- have gone through without any trouble. Think here must be some thing wrong with the engine. I'll try it again." Jack put on all the power the en fine had. but could not budge the heavy vehicle. The judge ranted; Jack insisted there was trouble un e'er the hood. They got out and Jack pointed to a small dribble which might readily have , been mused by a tiny gasoline puncture. Then he looked again and an nenced that the gas was all gone. The judge was furious. His watch rame out and went back into his pocket with a wrAthv fling. It was 10:40, and the machine stuck! Tack announced he'd have to ; co back to Carlton for heln. This did not make the judge feel; any pleas anter. "Sotv. dad." Jack condoned, "but I can't help it. Mavhe some body in Carlton will drive you over." Then the grey runabout came up and stooped, hugfing the Merten c;r. The girl smiled and inquired what seemed . to be the trouble Jack kent his face away as he tinkered with the engine. "My name's Merten, Tudge Mer ten." the father exolained to the girl. There's oJenty the matter. Due at Rockland for court at 11. You see thi fix we're in." , "Can I drive you over? - Km po ing that way. anvhow." She smiled sweetly as she extended the invita tion.' The iudge became the gal lant Immediately, and told her in polite tones thatv he Would aopre rfate it sreatly. She opened the door and he entered. As they drove away Jack chuckled. Thejt'dge was a golfer and a fol lower of outdoor sports arcnerally, and had particular admiration for girls who were itronr and self-re WHAT'S A COUPLE OF EXTRA liant. He always maintained that it was the making of the race. So when the girl's young arms firmly guided the runabout over rough s-pots with dexterity and they whizzed along at a rapid clip she had him kneeling at her shrine im mediately. The speed increased, and the old fellow was grasping the side of the seat tensely. Still faster they sped, and he was using both hands to brace himself, his hat between his knees and his coat buttoned tightly. He was not breathing very freely. The speedometer registered 40 miles, and now they were not missing all the bumps. The judge had given up carrying on a conversation with the young lady, though she was de lightful enough to make any man wish to talk. Suddenly the car wheeled into a road at the right. "Where are you going?" the judge managed to gasp. "This is not the right way." . "River road. Shorter. Cut off five miles." she explained, without looking toward him. The judge settled back and took a firmer grip on the side of the scat. His eyes were glued on the road, fearful that if he was not pre pared for a bump it migff have dire consequences. Little by little the indicator edged around to 50 miles. "Say, don't you think -" The judge did not finish the sentence, for another thing he hated was a quitter. But there was worse to come, for it was impossible now to steer clear of the jocks and ruts. ( Once the wheels on the right hit a hole, and the judge bounced two feet upward, and his back collided with the back of the seat as he came down. -'Bui he was game; and said nothing. Soon they were running along the bank of a river, the runabout takine dangerous curves without slacken ing speed. Down close to the stream it swooped, and then ud to a higher level. The judge looked admiringly at the girl, and almost in wonderment. Finally , they came to a creek emptying into the larger stream. Mraight through it the grey car streaked, casting uo sheets oY water at a 20 degree angle. On and on they went, until the old jurist was palpably feeling the effects of the strain. Just when he was almost ready to tell her to slow down and that it did not make so much dif ference whether he was on time, Rockland came into view. Then the pace slackened and the judge ad justed his tie and hat, which had be come awry in the excitement. The car stopped in front of the court house and the girl, leaped out, waiting for him to alight. He shuf fled to the sidewalk lamely but was smiling. . "Eleven o'clock, sir," she told him. "You're on time." 1 J "Yes, and I thank you very much. By the way, youne lady, what is your name?" Marjone Holhday, sir. "Not Benton C. Holiday's daugh ter?" "Yes, sir.". "Well, I'll be Miss, you certain ly know how to drive. Accept my congratulations. And M'm much obliged. Glad to have met you. "Oh, not at all. I'm glad I was able to do you a favor." Will you wait and take me back? "I'll be glad to." The judge went into court, and his vote threw the nomination to Benton Holliday. It was a just de cision, but there had been a question of factional power, and Judge Mor ton had always belonged to the other faction. They were driving back, slowly and leisurely, when they passed the Carlton Country club. The girl asked the judge if he played golf. He beamed, and said he'd be over to morrow for a game. At Carlton, Jack was waiting, the car in the square. The judge asked Marjorie to drive it. When they came up Jack greeted the girl warm ly, and his father stbpd back in sur prise; "Framed you, dad," Jack laughed. "Marjorie and I are good friends, very good friends, in fact here, Marjorie, hold up your hand." The judge saw a ring on the third fin ger of her left hand. "Well, I'll be hanged,!" he explod ed. "Jack, you certainly you cer tainlyShake, young lady; I'm proud of my son's discretion. I'M THE GUY . I'M THE GUY who has the same line of blarney ready to hand out to every girl he meets., I have the same thing to sav about her eyes, whether they're black of blue. My favorite color cither way. And the same with her hair, blonde or brunette. If they fall for it, why not feed it to 'em? Of course, if they happen to com pare notes, I'm ticketed as a liar, but what's the diff? I'm always meeting girls, and so I'm sure of a new audience all the time. If 'they believe me, and think I'm making love to 'enj, they're foolish. I can't help that. If I stopped to worry about breaking a heart now and then it would crab my act. So I shoutd worry, I just feed 'em the old mushand if they fall for it that's theirv lookout. Not mine.

"Well, now!" cried Mr. Conroy. "To think of a sensible man like yourself leaving a good farm to go off, dear knows where! And you not knowing what you'll do when you get there as like as any way 1 I thought you had better sense, Mc Queen.." "It's because of my better sense that I'm going," said Mr. McQueen. "Faith, dayou think I'd be showing the judgment of an old goat to stay where every penny I can get out of the land I have to pay back in rent?" I'm going to America, where there'll Ije a chance for myself."

His words did not deceive me m the least. I knew that he had put forth a switchmen's strike, as the lrst thing which came ito his head to offer as an explanation of Major Grantland's concern over something he thought it necessary to keep from me. But there was the ring of truth in one thing, he had said that he be lieved Major Grantland was worry ing unecesessarily over what had oc curred. I was as sure of that as I was that Dicky's real sentiments to ward the army officer were expressed in his reference to him as a "regular granny." 1 The fatt that my husband did not take whatever had happened serious ly, and that Hugh Grantland did was no sedative for my nervous fears. The great love I bear Dicky doesn't blind me to the fact that his nature is a most volatile one. and always is optimistic. Hugh Grantland's judg ment was far better, 1 knew, and l also recognized that he would be able to keep his judgment uninflu enced bv his feeling for me or any ono else in the world. But Dickv. whether intentionally or not, gave me no time for further thought on the matter. "We re almost there, old dear, ne said, "but you don't need to leave this spot until after the train .stops. Grant's, got some inside pull in rail road matters, believe me, and he has arranged to have the train wait un til he can get the auto he wired for right opposite the door of this car. Then we can lift you from the steps to the automobile. Of course, it only means a delay of a minute or two at that. Grant's on the step now, ready to leap when the train stops, and as they're a million hours or so late already, nothing less than a half hour counts with them. Are your things all on?" j , Dicky's Little Error. "All except my hat," I murmured faintly. "I could not stand the weight of that on my head until the last minute." ''Don't need to stand it at all, Dicky retorted promptly. Tll take care of it. Give it to me." "Oh. hut D ckev " I orotested, my conventional soul horrified, "I couldn't go out of here and run the gamut of the passengers without any He looked at me quizzically. "Carrv vour little dictionary and your book on etiquette even when you're dying, doji't you old dear?" he said flippantly. Don t worry. You won t have to run any gamut.

Do you think we're wishful to be leaving our old homes and all our friends? But 'tis you that makes it too hard entirely for people to stay. And I can tell you that if you keep on with others as you have with me, raising the rent when any work is done to improve the farm, youll be left in time with no tenants at all. And then where will you be yourself, Terence Con roy?" Mr. Conroy's face 'was red with anger, but he said: "While I'm not needing you to teach me my duty, 1 will say this, McQueen: You're a good farmer, and I hate to see you do a foolish thing for yourself. If you'll stay on the farm I'll not raise the rent on you." "You're too late, altogether," said Mr. McQueen; "and as you said yourself, I'm not the fish to be caught with fine words. I know better than to believe you. I'll be sailing from Queenstown in two weeks' time." And with that he stalked out of the room and slammed the door, leaving Mr. Conroy in a very bad state of mind. All that Larry and Eileen culd remember of the next two weeks was a jumble of tears and good bys, of good wishes and blessings, and strange, strange feelings they had never had before.

"I'll bet you five cookies to the hole in a doughnut that I'm going to get a spring cold down here," he grumbled. "Haven't had one all winter where there's ice and snow. Can you beat it?" I am afraid I paid no attention to his predictions of a cold. For I had seen what he had inadvertently drawn from his pocket with his handkerchief, and I feared he would turn his head in the direction of the floor before leaving the room. But he passed out unseeing, and the next minute I dropped to my hands and knees and crawled weak ly to the spot where he had been standing. Feverishly I gathered up every scrap of the torn yellow paper which had fluttered from my hus band's pocket when he drew out his handkerchief. A telegraphic message of course I I had seen that the instant the first yellow fragment had fluttered down. Maj. Grantland must have brought it to Dicky, and my husband, after reading it, had torn it into scraps and thrust it into his pocket until he could find an opportunity for ut terly destroying it. And then, Dicky-like, he had promptly forgot ten all about it, and scattered it lit erally at my feet. How I longed for time and oppor tunity to put the torn pieces to gether. On one scrap I read "York," and knew that the wire had been sent from New York City. On another there were the letters "ce," on another the word "out," on still another "ous." But these were simply the ones turned .uppermost to my eyes. I didn't dare take the time even to turn over any others. How I ever got the strength to pick up each piece, leaving no tell tale scrap behind, put the whole into the bosom of my dress, and get back to the couch I do not know. But accomplish it I did with a min ute to spare before Dicky came back. (Continued Monday.) Parents Problems V. How should a deliberately disobedient little boy of 6 be dis ciplined?

By the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Although immortalized by Rudyard Kipling in his "Barrack Room Ballads" and other poems dealing with the' British army, th term "Tommy Atkins" orig inated long before Kipling used it, and is traceable to a bit of of ficial red tape in connection with the operation of the War Office. This office desired, a number of years ago, to obtain authentic information about all the men in the service of Her Majesty and a pamphlet was accordingly printed, with spaces in which were to be entered the name, age, term of service, place of birth and religious belief of each soldier, together with other in formation which would be of value in the official records. In order that there might be no mistakes in filling in the blanks, a specimen form already filled out was sent out at-the same time and the sample name filled in on it was Tommy Atkins, just as John Doe is used on specimen legal documents. "They're callin' us Tommy At kins now," was the immediate reaction of the British soldiers and the name, probably inserted on the spur of the moment by some official of the War Office has remained in force to this day.
