In all particulars there exists man
who has cause to regard the telephone

that one evening when Prince of Wales
the King was at a public dinner at
which he was to speak During the
meal he told an equerry TO send to
Marlborough House for Il book. to
which he wished to refer for a fact.
The equerry gave the necessary in
structions, and the hotel manager rang
the royal residence up on the telephone.
After he had made himself understood
there was Il pause of many minutes.
He rang again, then again, until at
last, losings all patience. lie literally
shouted: "Are-you there? What in
the world do you mean by keeping His
Royal Highness waiting? Can you
find the book or not?' 10 his angry

characteristics that made her the re-
cipient Of a nations homage and love
were imbued into her nature. She had
servantslto attend her every wish from
the time she was able to lisp q com
mand. Her life was free from care;
there was nothing but laughter and
galety for the youthful Josephine. She
was really queen before she could
talk, an empress In face before she
ever saw the shores of France.
But as she advanced In years her
life became more rufiied with the
cares and disappointments of the
world When but 16 years of age she
was married to the Yiscount de Beau
harnais in France. The marriage PROV
ed an unhappy one and the couple
were subsequently divorced.
In 1796 she became the wife of Ma
poleon Bonaparte and until he separat-
ed himself from her to marry Maria
Louisa in 1909. she followed him In his
checke cred career with unfaltering love
and devotion. BY her inyariable good
ness she won the hearts of the people
and even the admiration and esteem
of her opponents. When Napoleon di-
vorced her. the crowned heads of Eli
rope offered her protection and estates.
but she remained at her former court
of Malmaison until death claimed her
in 1914. Her remains now rest in n
marble tomb within the church ar
Rueil.

Cure for Faulty Speech.

The habit of stammering is one that
children easily acquire, but which Is
difficult to cure. So great has been the
recent increase In this fault or infirm-
ity, whichever 1t may be, In Germany
that In the schools throughout the en-
pire special course Of Instruction has
been started for children SO afflicted.
Board of Education devote twelve
hours Il week to this work. One and Il
half per cent OF all the school children
In Germany stutter. AS In nearly all
cases the difficulty in speaking arises
from peculiar nervous condition and
Is not due to any physical malforma-
ton. the specialists are confident OF
being able to cure nearly all the cases
which they find.
The system OF cure consists largely
teaching him how to properly use his
lips and tongue In forming words, and
IN correcting his nervousness. That
stammering can be cured has been re-
allied since the time that Demosthencs
walked by the seashore declaiming
with pebble In his mouth. 1t is a
little singular that the Germans. who
have been supposed to be race rather
lacking in nervousness. should sudden
ly develop into n nation of Sufferers.
Perhaps the strenuous life into which
the Emperor has plunged the country
has been Il little to much for Its ner-
vOus system.

FROM ONE JAIL TO ANOTHER
Joe Robinson Immediately Rear
rested as He Leaves County
BastiIe Here.

Joe Robinson is one man who wal not
glad to get out Of Jail. When Joe heard
the doors Of the Douglas county bastle. clang
behind him yesterday morning It was only
to be met on the stone steps by the sheriff
Of Nuckolls county, who Immediately
started Robinson of in the direction Of that
bailiwick. So the prisoner was a free
man about a minute and q third.
Robinson was brought down from Mitch
ell, Neb., about two weeks ago, by a United
States deputy marshal. He was charged
with selling liquor without having a license.
But down In Nuckolls county he was wanted
in connection with an arson case. 1t is
said that II Joe consents to be a valuable
witness In this matter he will not be drawn
in as a defendant. The government may
still have its inning with him on the
booze proposition.
Lawrence is the town in which the arson
is said to have occurred. Several fires have
started there lately which had no other
explanation. Four men are now under ar
rest charged with implication in the mat
ter, and the officials say they have a good
case. asserting tnat one OF them mas con-
fessed.

FIRST CONSTRUCTION BILL
Auditorium Board Of Directors Al
lows Estimate OF Contractor for
Building Formulation.

The first bill for actual construction upon
the Omaha Auditorium was paid yesterday,
when the estimate Of Henry Hamann was
approved and a bill OF something in excess
Of s6.5OO was allowed. This bill does not
include certain extras supplied for the
foundation. At the meeting Of the building
and grounds committee this week proposals
for the brick work on the superstructure
will be passed upon.
Previous to allowing the bill Of Hamann
the board Of directors discussed the musical
festival and the sale Of tickets. It was
said that at this time the money is in sight
for the payment Of all expenses, but that
to make the advance sale equal to that Of
last year about ZOO tickets must be sold
during the week. The committee believes
there will be little trouble In selling this
number, as the people visited this year
have purchased more literally than last
year. and the only reason for not having a
larger sale is the fact that so few people
have been solicited.
Reports from places where the band has
been this summer are complimentary to
the work Of the organization. and it is be-
lieved by members OF the promotion com
mittee that the gate receipts will be larger
than at any previous festival. The tent
will be in position for wiring today. but
the architect has not yet completed his
specifications for that work.

sr~essionaI COMMITTEES.

1--WE have come to the conclusion" said
one Of the candidates for the republican
nomination for congress, that the matter
Of calling the convention to make the nomi-
nation has been practically taken cut Of the
hands Of Chairman Blackburn and that for
the last three weeks 1t has been in the
hands OF more powerful persons.
1T has been nearly three weeks since
Mr.. Blackburn met the three candidates for
the nomination other than Mr. Mercer and
told 10 shat his COMMITTEES would meet in a
few days and asked us II we desired to ap-
pear before that committee to oner sug-
gestions or give advice. We decided we
would 90 and tell how we thought the nomi-
nation should be made, Since that time
We have been expecting daily TO receive
notice to appear A few days after we were
told we would be expected 10 meet the com
mittee Mr.. Mercer returned from Washing
ton, but since that day we have heard moth
ing more about the calling Of the conveu-
fion.
Prom what hear believe that Mereer,s
railroad champions are beginning to oues-
tion the wisdom OF the denomination Of Mr..
Mercer Up TO a few days ago, previous to
the appointment Of the nre and police com
missioners by the governor, they seemed
70 think the nomination OF Mercer would
insure his election. Now I am told that
they begin 20 fear he may be beat II nomi-
mated. and that a democrat. pledged to OBJ
pose railroad mergers and trusts. may b
elected.
The railroad merger and trust question
Is beginning to give them considerable un-
easiness. Since President Roosevelt and
Congressman Littleheld OF Maine have beer
conferrtng on the question and the con.
