A little woman of evidently
straitened, circumstances, who trav
eled with her children all the
way from Oklahoma City, Okl., to
meet her husband here without k
forming him in advance found yes
terday that he had just left Omaha.
The little mother, middle-aged,
dressed in worn, threadbare clothes,
and very tired looking, went to
Postmaster H. S. Daniel to ask him
to help her find her husband.
, She said that she had expected to
reach Omaha in time Tuesday to go
to'the postoffice and wait at the gen
eral delivery x window, where she
knew he was wont to go each day.
But the train was late and when
she went to the general delivery
window yesterday to ask about
him she found that he had called
every evening through ' Monday,
when he had left a forwarding ad
dress and sajd that he was going
back to Oklahoma City.
The woman gave her name as Mrs.
E. H. Newman. (

Her Own Grocery
Miss Edna Koontz, Sightless
for ,26 Years,Trust8 Public
When It Comes to Money -"
.-'Matters.'-. .
Lincoln? Neb., Oct. 20. Blindness
has not proven a handicap to the
business career of Miss Edna
Kbonti, proprietor of a grocery at
444 South Tenth street this , city.
Though totally blind, this Nebraska
gir( nas mastered all the principles
of business, and without assistance
sells enough groceries to nel her a
profit considerably imore than she
needs to support herself. ' , -v
By cultivating a memory tharcora
pares favorably with that of na
tionally known so-called experts.
Miss Koontz is able to put her hands
on any one of severah hundred ar
ticles on the shelves of her store.
Byher remarkable sense of "feel.'
coupled with her mejnory, errors
are unknown in her store" .'
With the speed of a crackerjack
clerk, Miss Koontz bings dowu
from the shelves articles of food as
Lfast as the purchaser names . them
on. m aiignting wkc tasmon, ana
withtthe precision of an adding ma
chine, she totals up the amount of
the purchases much -quicker than
many clerks with vision. r .
Miss Koontz; tdio became blind
when 4 years of age, Is now 30. She
is a graduate of the state school for
In addition" to being retail gro
cer. Miss Koontz is assistant man
ager for the Lincoln agency of one
of the large Omaha wholesale gro
cers. - - V
Anybody Could Do It. ;
Admirers of Miss Koontz say she
is the only blind person in Nebraska
engaged -in a business dealing with
the public at all times.
l M-iss Koontz is, extremely modest
in telling of her-chievements, and
says there are hundreds of other
blind - persons "who could succeed
just as well as she' if they took; it

upon themselves to start. "The
training we receive at the blind in
stitution is sufficient to make any
person with a normal mind self
supporting" she said.
Miss Koontz has the utnlost con
fidence in the honesty of the public.
Only one 'man, she says, evertook
advantage of her blindness. This
man, she said, was in the habit of
visiting her store several times a
week to purchase cigars. When she
would hand over the box for him
to make his selection, he would take
two or three cigars and pay for but
one. Shesaid she suspected him
for several weeks and the next time
he came in she" was "ready." She
knew exactly how many cigars wefe
in the box and when he had taken
what hewanted, she quickly counted
the remainder and told him he
would have to pay for three cigars,
not one.' That was the last time
he visited her store. ' v
Children Play Pranks.
Several children, she sakj, have
attempted to deceive her in a child
like fashion, but were always de
tected. One youngster came in with
a "bill," which he said was of $1 de
nomination, and wanted to buy a
package of chewing gum. No soon
er 'was the "bill" in her hand than
she knew by its sie that it was not
legal tender. She laughingly re
turned the piece of paper to th$f
youngster,.
Another youngster attempted to
pass a lead check on her as a'5.0
cent piece. His detection was quick
er than in the case of the boy with
the "U bill."
In accepting bills In payment lot
groceries Miss Koontz must depend
Aitircly upon the honesty of her cus
tomers as to the bill's denomination.
'There is no way of relling a $1 bill
from a $10 or $20 bill." she said.' It
is very difficult to deceive her with
pewter coins.
After she receives the bills Miss
Koontz folds each denomination in
a different way. In going oven: her
day's receipts sha can tell exactly
what each bill is oy the way it is
folded..
Miss Koontz takes care of all her
own correspondence, writing her let
ters on a typewriter. Her incoming
letters, of course, are read to her fij
friends. ...
In addition to bring a business
woman of considerable ability, MisT
Koontz is an accomplished,' singei
pianist and ,organist. On a ntimbej
of occasions she has appeared in tht v
choirs of local churches.
As a housekeeper she has ,fey
equals. Baking fine cakes for hei
friends is one of her chief joys ai
