M. Middleton, who in charge of the Rexall Drug Stores' "straw vote" campaign. The Rexall Drug company is rep- ' resented in 8,000 cities in the United i M.ites and each store is taking a "straw vote" for presidential .pref erment. Five of these drug stores are located in Omaha and each store makes a report every day on the number of votes cast by both men and worien for Harding and Cox. According So Mr. Middle'Asn, the campaign will continue until one week before election. Reports will be wired to the office of the Sher man & McConnell drug store here from the headquarters of the Rexall Drug company at Boston relative to the national ' "straw vote" being taken in the 8,000 stores located throughout the nation. Ballots Counted Each Noon. In each Sherman & McConnell .drug store in. Omaha there are two ballot boxes in which are contained the number of votes cast daily. , At noon each day the ballots are Count ed and the report from each1 store telephoned to the main office: Any person who is eligible to vote is urged to do so.

Men in Omaha are more interested in the way the women vote tnah in the number of , votes cast; for Harding or Cox, it is said.

RustyYren was hurrying out of "his house to find some supper for his family, when he almost bumped into a young chap who was gazing at the sign, "Boy Wanted," which still hung outside Rusty's door. He was a likely-looking hid, who wore a bay cap on' his head. And he had excellent manners, too. i He said "Good evening!" to Rusty very Fatty Con and Tommy Fox came at midnight to view his sign. i pleasantly and touched his cap. Xo Moubt he would have taken it off had it not grown right on his head. "I see yon want a boy," he observed. "I certainly do!" said Rusty Wren." "What's your name?" "They call me 'Chippy, Junior,' " the youngster told him., "Is that so?" Rusty exclaimed. "Then your father must be Mr. Chip py, who lives in the wild grapevine on the stone wall by the roadside. Chippy, Jr., nodded brightly. And when he said, "Chip, chip, chip, chip," Rusty knew that there could be no doubt about it. "Wait just a moment!" he told Chippy, Jr.f "I want to speak to my wife about you." And then he dart ed back into his house. "My dear," hi said to Mrs.' Rutsy, "I've found the very person! Little Mr. Chippy's son is outsidp and I'm sure we ought to be glad to have a modest young man like him to help us "He comes from a good family," Jprs. Rusty admitted. "But don't you know that the Chitmys are big ger than Ave are? Not much biggef, to be sure. But Mr. Chippy certain- couldn't get through our door way. Quite true, my love! ., Rusty Wren, agreed. "But it's his son not he that wants to work for us. And this young lad is not full grown. I should say he was hardly my size. Though his wife hesitated, she could think of no further objection. So at last she toldi Rusty that he might ask Chippy, Jr., -to come back Trly the next morning. "But I have a feeling that this is going to lead to trouble," she said once more. Rusty Wren said, "Nonsense!" He wa. overjoyed at the prospect of laving a spry young helper. And he hurried out to tell WHY? Are There Soft Spots on a cocoa nut shell? (Copyright, 1920, by the Wheejer Syndicate,- Inc.) ; Cocoanuts, as we are accus tomed to see them in the market, cortsist)f four separate and prac tically distinct factors the milk, a sweet watery liquid; the kernel, from which cocoanut oil . is ex tracted and usedVn a variety of ways; a shell which is almost as hard as 1one and a thick fibrous covering. When the cocoanuts 'are picked, however, they have still another protection against the elements an outer rind with a mooth surface, somewhat similar to the rind. which surrounds the shells of walnuts and hickory nuts. But both the interior shell and the outer rind have three soft spots at one end, a triangle of black discs which can be easilv pricked wifh a pin. ' These have been placed there by nature, for much the same reason that a hol low space is -apparent inside an egg; to' enable the embryo to grow properly. If it were-not for these soft spots, the tender sprouts of the cocoanut would not be able to penetrate the hard outer portion of their covering, and no new trees would be grown. As it is, however, the sprouts find their way out through these por us places, and gradually increase in stregth until they split the shell and put forth roots of their own. j MwlT BAILEY ' Mr. Chippy's son -that he might start to work at daybreak. - That polite young man touched' his cap again, promised that he would return without fail,1 and then went chip-chipping away'' toward home, for it was already his bedtime. For all he was still hungry, Rusty Wren slept better that night than he had for a long while. He felt as if a great load had been lifted off his snoulders. He slept so soundly, in fact, that 4ic-'nevcr waked up at all wjien Fat ty Coon and Tonmy Fox came at midnight to view his sign, "Boy Wanted." 'jtThey made a good deal of noise, too, grumbling not a little because there was not the least sign of a sign anywhere they looked. As soon as he had engaged Chip py. Jr., to work for him Rusty Wren had taken down the sign, "Boy, Wanted." And so all fur ther callers were bound to be dis appointed. ' ' ' (Copyright, Cirosnet & Dunlap.)

A grandmother sits by the window With tremulous tears on her cheek', And says with a sigh that she knows she will die From grief and starvation next week. f : The audience weeps on beholding The woe that has furrowed her brow, And the air of despair that is registered there Because she has mortgaged the cow. The artist bends over the 'cello (Or tuba or trombone, mayhap) And you see at a glance that h. hasn't a chance From the pallor that's spread on his map. He might have won fame and a fortune For at classical stuff he's a bear, But alas he will not; he complied with the plot . And foolishly mortgaged his hair. The gambler looks down at the river While the gallery gazes aghast, For it's painfully clear that his lurid career . Will soon be a thiitg of the past. And yet he has rings on his fingers, And also a horse-choking roll, And he only has need of this desperate deed Because he has mortgaged his soul. Oh! Mortgage! Oh! terrible mortgage! The most of us start up in bed, When we think of your power and shudder and cower In deep and perspiringsjread ! We are taught from our earliest childhood To shrink at the sound of your name, You would never be missed if you didn't exist, But 'twould' bust up the playwriting game!

The telephone is right here." Mrs. Lukens indicated an alcove corner in the big dining room. "What an attractive room!" I couldn't help the comment as I saw the wide, low windows, with the sun streaming through, the big fire place, with ?its blazing fire, and the solid .old mahogany, shining with hard rubbing, brave with beautiful chirm and fragile .'glass. Surely, here ?as no ordinary cottage pro prietor, this ' slender woman with her indomitable air! "I like it," Mrs. Lukens replied, crisply. "I believe that a dining room should be the pleasantest room in the housemaids digestion makes the day start off right when you eat breakfast in a pleasant room. Don't you agree with me?" "Indeed I do," I replied heartily, and, in truth, she was'but expressing one of my own theories. "You'll find the telephone book rigKt on that stand," she said, and something in her( voice intimated that I ought to be attending to the errand which had called me over. I sternlv repressed a little inward chuckle at her likeuess in this re spect, to my mother-in-law. If Mother Graham knows of a duty un performed by one of her 'relatives or friends, she is positively unhappy until the matterhas been properly attended to. "A Voice Identified. "The1 number is under the town of Aberdeen; the name, Alexander Paige." Mrs.' Lukens went on, smil ing. "Miss Dora does not consider It seemly for a single woman, even of her age, to appear in the public eye or prints, exceot in the censored social columns of her favorite news paper. So she has the telephone in the name of her father, who depart ed this life shortly after the Civil war' I laughed outright at the word picture she had cleverly drawn of Miss Dora a picture which, indeed, was already in my mental gallery as a result of the dear old lady's visit to me. "Did the friend who telephoned give- her name?". I asked, idly curi ous as to which of the four women domiciled at the Paige ancestral home wished to speak to me. "No." Mrs. Lukens returned, promptljv "But she had a soft voice with just a slight Southern accent, and a sort of ring in it like a bird's call." I recognized the description at once. Leila Fairfax has a most beautiful speaking voice, and I have often remarked the bird-lile quality Than Poetry MONTAGUE ; PROPHECY k ' Bell SrarUceta, r HUSBAND New Phase of of a Wife f- in it. Wondering what my lit(T friend might want, I moved to the telephone stand and took up the book. "If you'll just excuse me," Mrs. Lukens spoke behind me. "I have something to attend to in the kitch en. If you want me for anything just open this; door and call me." She walked through the doorway,. and closed the door .firmly atter herft I gratefully recognized the . taWS! which had assured me without dircW. words that I would be undisturbed and without auditors for my telephone-conversation. I took up the telephone receiver with my admira tion for .Mrs. . Lukens ascending rapidly. Irfcila in Trouble. A brawling answer came-over the telepnbne when I called the number in the book opposite Alexander; Paige' name." "Yas'm, this am Mistah AlexandaV Paige's residence. Did yoh all wish to speak to Miss Dora?" I could visualize the old servitor who must be speaking. No one but a negro' of the old school could serve Miss Dora Paige. "If she is at leisure, yes, but my errand is with one of her guests, so dq not disturb her if it isn't perfect ly convenient for her to. come."-' "She's Iyin' down, Miss, but if yoh wants her " the inviolate rule of courtesy to any one inquiring for the mistress of the house evidently held full sway with the old man. . "No, indeed, don t disturb her on any account," I protested swiftly. "But please call Miss Leila Fairfax to, the tclephj$ie if you will be so kind." "Yas'm, right away. I'll tell her." and in another minute Leila's voice excited and strained, came to my ears.- ' , "Afadge, dear,' is it possible for me to sie'e you this morning, alone?" she asked in low tense tones. "Why, yes. child," I returned promptly. - "Get a taxi and come right over. What is the matter?" "Oh, I can't tell you now!" rdie said. "But I' so miserable" her voice dropped to a whisper "and I must see you." (Continued Tomorrow.) Marie Antoinette's Ghost Is Again Seen In Versailles Park . Paris, ' Scfot- 21 Coincident with the presidential crisis, the ghost ot Marie Antoinette, which has not been seen since 1911, when France was in danger of war with Germany due to the Agadir crisis, is said to be stalking in Versailles park, scaring the villagers, many of whom have reported meeting the veiled lady in black on lonely walks after night fall. Several tourists while visiting nark and in the vicinity of the Pc Trianon distinctly saw a figure clad in the costume of -Marie Antoinette's dav camboling under the ancient trees. Those who have attempted tov approach Marie's farm, where sn would -fest and live the simple life, felt inwsible hands pushing them away. - The reports are all the more sen sational than usual because thev come from several independcrt sources. , ! -a AMUSKMENm LAST TIMES TODAY Fit-?)
