several others in mansion in 9th ave-
nue.. we were decorating the ceiling
of the parlor.
ohe day the owner, a leading club
man and prominent member of the
stock exchange came into the room to
take look around. He was n Meas.
ant man, democratic in his WAYS and
we liked him.
Fine work. he began.
1--WE nodded.
And fine pay, too he added.
I'VE exchanged surprised chances.
DO you think so? one of us asked.
Why, | should say So he replied
In an emphatic tone. johnson (the
boss) tells me you people get $40 per
day. Now take that all the year
around and you'll find. my friends,
That 1T Is more than the average doc
tor or other professional man makes
"Of course, by this time the crowd
of us were on as they say, and we
perceived the neat little game the boss
was playing with the clubman. and,
incidentally, with us, by which he
made $3.50 u day on each of us. But
naturally we had sense enough to hold
our tongues.
Not so the boy, or helper, however.
who had listened to this conversation
with open mouthed Amusement. and
was rather unframed in sOphism. Be
fore we could prevent it he calculated:
Why, mister, you're mistaken.
These gents only get $3.50 a day, and
only get $1.50r
Il wish you could have dropped in
on us just then and you would have
seen some confused expressions and
met an oppressive silence! But the
most confused and surprised was the
rich owner
Men he said, impressively, 4 ask
you on your honor Is what the young
fellow says a factY
well, after that, what could we
say?
You heard what he said, Mr.. S.,

conclusions from it,

done you an injustice Good-morn-

BARRING "HUCK FINN"
Mark Twain's Views on the Action
of the Omaha Library.

Mark Twain's Views on the Action
of the Omaha Library.
1t will be recalled that a few days
ago the Omaha public library barred
out Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn
on the ground that it's influence upon
the youthful mind was pernicious. The
Omaha World Herald sent him tele-
gram, which called forth the following
characteristic letter:
York Beach, Me, Aug. %.
Dear Sir-Your telegram has arrived,
but as I have already said all l want to
say concerning Huck Firms new adven-
lures there is no need TO say it over
again. am making this remark by mail
instead of telegram in order to secure
speed. Your courtesy requires this
promptness of me. Lately it has twice
taken a Geographic dispatch four hours
and a quarter TO reach me here from
Boston, a distance of forty or fifty miles,
therefore If should answer YOU by that
vehicle l estimate that it would be up
ward of eight days on the wire, whereas
l can get it to you by mail in two.
l am tearfully afraid this noise is doing
much harm. 1t has started number of
hitherto SpOtless people to reading 1Iuck
Finn, out of a natural human curiosity
to learn what this is all about-people
who had not heard of him before people
whose morals will 60 to wreck and ruin
now
The publishers are glad but it makes
me want to borrow a handkerchief and
cry. I Shout. he sorry to think 1t was
the publishers themselves that got up this
entire little futter to enable them to un-
load book that was taking too much
room in their cellars, but you never can
tell what a publisher will do. l have been
one myself MARK TWAIN.

NEW AUTOMOBILE DEVICE.
Architect HCdgsOn's Invention Reg
listers Speed of Machines.


E. ]. Hodgson. a Minneapolis archi-
tect, has invented speed register for
automobiles. the use Of which, if re
quired by city governments, may solve
the problem of keeping the devils"
within bounds as to speed.
The inventor. according to the New
York Times, has applied to the patent
office for patents on registers which,
attached to automobiles, may be seen
from the side of the street by pedes-
TRANS, who may know at just what
speed a machine is travelling. A po
liceman can, therefore. tell at glance
the rate at which a machine is going
and if the speed ordinance is being
violated lie can make an arrest on tie
spot and have the registered speed for
evidence. The registers have TWO Gi-
ais. one showing the speed up to thirty
six miles an hour and the other any
thing higher than that, rhe registers
are so arranged that i'm case of an az
cident one of the hands locks ut the
point registered when the accident O..
Cured, thus showing whether the
speed was too. high or not
If automobiles are required to
equip their nIac..ines with such d.
vices. says Mr.. lIodgson. ,Ley will &c
more careful rs to violations of ord.
nancpS.

b feet long by 23 feet wide. U-ser
meath this floor the men car across
the old village ash pits, w,c,ch nroved
been an aboriginal vWage site. These
ash pits are c...<cular excavations about
feet ID aiap1ter and feet deep
into which was thrown all the refuse
from the village homes. In many of
these pits were found quantities of
Bhelled corn which had become car
BOMBED.
This corn,'' explained DR.. Mills
"clearly dispels the idea that all mound
builders were of rowing disposition,
ignorant of agriculture and existing en-
trely on fish and game. On the con
trary, many were of an advanced CIV
ilization, building villages for them
selves and filling the soil with tools
manufactured out Of stone and shells"
Another remarkable find was dis
coidal stone bedded In the ashes over
q skeleton. The stone was four inches
in diameter and Clipped into cylin
drical shape, concave on both sides,
with Il small hole in the center. 1t is
thought stones of that nature were
used by The warriors IN one of their
games.
The fact that so many ocean shells
were discovered proves almost beyond
cavil. the experts say, that many tribes
Of traders roamed over the continent.
The pottery bears striking resem-
blance to that made In Central Amer
lea, and this strongly bears out the
idea that the mound builders were n
branch of the ancient inha bitants of
that country and of Mexico.

1000 year old and sprouts from its
branches have realized fabulous sums.
Some years ago ii rich Englishnan of

wonderful plant clings amid thickly
grown moss against the side of the ia
nous old Church Of st. Michael 1t is

this statement has never been disput,

To the Summer EGarder,

Sheer, if you will, at the coGrtry: laugh
if you like, at its ways;
Say that its pleasures have tired you; fill
up Your cup of dispraisc;
Jeer at the crudeness of nature; have at
her wonders your fling,
But don't imagine a moment what you
may say has a sting.
We have existed without you, still will
contrive to exist,
And when you leave on the morrow little,
think, you'll be missed.
Never tear for your going; never a sigh
or frown:
Wen stay right here in our country; you
may go back TO your town.
You've had your kick at our cooking, put
on your finical airs
Said that it injured your stomach; now,
take it back for repairs.
You have announced that our bedding
made all your bones fairly ache
And that the tree toads' and crickets
Yacketing kept you awake.
See how you like your hail bedroom, rum
Bile Of wagons and trucks;
You'll perhaps slurlber more sweetly than
on our mattress of shucks
Some peoples consciences hurt them when
they are stretched upon down:
We sleep all right in the country: you
may rest better in town.
We said we never would miss you; that
though is not strictly true,
Yet it is rather your money we shall be
missing than you.
Ten shining bucks by the week for our
''homelike and plentiful board
Sounds pretty steep, Wen admit, but it's
no more than you could afford
Then we socked on few extras-horses
and wagons and guides.
Damages. too, they were something; then,
perhaps. something besides.
Yes, there is one satisfac tion-weve done
you up pretty brown,
We simple jays of the country; just think
that over in town!
