Baby Lips Plead
For'Cooled Milk;
Ice Fund Gives It
isiung burses find Many
Umaha Homes in INeed of
Relief During Hot
Summer
"Pleas, mamma, may I have a
drink of milk?"
Lisped by baby lips, this simple
little pica would be vain in many
Omaha homes were it not for The
Bee's free milk and ice fund. . ,
For there are many hemes in the
city too poor to have on hand this
necessity of child life, so the Visiting
Nurse association finds. . ?
Vln such home's, and for such help
less little ones, milk and ice are pro
vided daily throughout the hot sum
mer by The Bee fund.

More Truth Than Poetry
; By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
A FEW WORDS ABOUT BUNK
I know that the manifold millions -Which
prominent persons possess,
Are a burden of care that is grievous to bear
And bring only grief and distress. " .
I frequently hear them complaining
That fortune is liard to endure, .
A id wishing they might share the simple delight
That alone can .be known by the poor.
And I've wondered, if sorrow increases i
As bonds and investments accrue, ' ,
Why they cling to. their store, and keep on making more
Yet somehow or other, they do.
I know that a statesman holds office
At a terrible price to himself,
That the ungrateful state lays the man who runs straight
With a sneer of contempt, on the shelf. ,
I've often heard statesmen asserting
In voices they scarce could control,.
That the .struggle and strife of political life "
Destroys a man, body and soul. y.
And I've wondered, if such is their feeling '
That they ever hold office at all .
Yet the very same men will be running again
For the very same jobs in the fall.
' . '
I know that the lot of an author'
Is more than uncommonly tough; . ,, , . , ' : -He
has few delights, has the person who writes.- :
And nobody pays him enough. .
Great authors will frequently tell you
They wish they had learned to be crooks
Any life they'd prefer, so they frankly aver,1
To wearing their hearts out on books.
And I've wondered, if authors arc martyrs
Why they do not speak out, loud and strqiig,
And say that the pen they will not lift again,
For I notice they write right-along!

"We'll walk away with the race,"
declared Captain Docherty of the
Jack Rabbits. "We may be behind,
but them Coyotes ain't seen nothin'
yet." ."',''
; If the two teams are to bring the
total of the drive up to 700 they must
average about IS - members each
hour, starting at 1 this morning.
"But I think they'll do it," asserted
Secretary Gardner. '

Fort Prisoner
Bores Through
Wall With Knife
Deserter Held Here Escapes
From Guard House Under
Cover of Electrical
Storm.
An ordinary aluminum tabic knife
was the instrument which Rollic
Styles used to bore through a 12-inch
brick wall at the Fort Omaha guard
house, making his' escape under
cover of an electrical storm Wednes
day night. .
The fugitive is 25 years old and
was brought to the guard house in
April from Fort Sheridan, having
been arrested - for desertion. Last
Tuesday he faced a court-martial at
Fort Crook and a sentence of two
years at Leavenworth prison was
imposed.
Styles released the lock of his celt
with a hack saw which authorities
believe was slipped to him by lriends.
The digging into the wall was done
between midnight and 4 a. m., the
noise being drowned out by thunder
and rain.
The fugitive is said to have worn
civilian, trousers when he escaped.
He is tall and combs his hair in a
pompadour. Several companion pris
oners stated 4hey ,knev when he
broke, the lock, but they did not re.
port the matter.
