HER TROUBLES COME IN TRIOs
Maiden with Pane of Glass, n
Fat Friend and
Hammer.

He was a soemn-faced fat man when
he boarded the car at Farnam and Six
teenth. AS he advanced to take a seat
big smile began to spread over his antique
visage. The pleasantest looking girl in the
car was smiling back at him and he sat
down beside her with a mien that said as
plainly as If he had spoken, Maybe you
folks don't think I'm itr' The pleasantest
looking girl here whispered something to
the fat man, at the same time smiling in
winsome fashion. She transferred to the
seat behind her a tall, thin package, which
looked as II 1t contained a pane Of glass
1t did.
Then the two traded few punches of
airy persihage, until a lady with an eleva-
tor load of bundles came in, She hit the
line steadily for a touchdown. and she
made it, Just alongside the corpulent party.
He attempted to edge over, but his oblique
movement was accompanied by a slight
trend to the rear.
Crack went something, and the fat mans
face fell foot. The pleasantest looking
girl smiled deprecatingly and then laughed
right out. So did two or three girls across
the aisle, and the woman next to the fat
man gave him the naughty stare as well
as she could over her shopping accumula-
proceeded to talk about stores up his way
where he could get all sorts of panes, al
though he plainly had pain" concealed
about his person right then.
When the car reached Twenty-fourth
street the girl gingerly gathered up the tall.
thin package and both got off. She ran
to the rubbage can on the corner and
dumped half of the package into it, while
the fat man tried to get her TO go into the
drug store and replace the broken glass.
Two OF her chums came along and she
went marching off with them and the
remnant OF what was TO have kept out
the frosty air, with Sunday in sight.
When she got home she busted herself
in trying to forget by mailing down the
loose end of a carpet. While doing this
she tipped over lamp and broke the Chin
ney. When she tackled the carpet again
she soaked the front finger OF her right
hand with the hammer, which was aimed
at tack, which ought to have been there.
The mashed digit made her sick and she
went outside to tell her troubles to the
stars
N. B.-This is really truly story, and is
told merely to buttress the old saw that
misfortune is always married and that mis-
haps are generally triplets.

WITH THE BOWLERs.

Last nights exhibition of bowling was
probably the best ever seen in Omaha.
Considering the new alleys, the totals of
the two teams and the small number of
errors show remarkably fine work. Again
the Krug Parks won on total pins and lost
two games, a split in the last frame of
the last game putting them four pins to
the bad All this does not detract from
the fine work of the Armours. Their 1850
game was the highest OF the year and was
bowled without an error. French made
the bunch take a back seat with his total
of 659 and single game of 245. Both Zim-
norman and Neale also topped the GOO

WESTERN LEAGUE MEETING

LOOKS LIKE A FIGHT ON BILL ROURKE
Lincoln Likely TO he voted the Fran
chise Now Held by 81. Joseph
when the MaEnates Meet
Next Saturday.

CHICAGO, oct S0-Cspecial Telegram.)-
A call for a meeting of the Western league
was issued tonight by President O'Nein
to take place at the Grand Pacific next
Saturday afternoon. The most important
feature of the session will be the election
Of a president.
Despite considerable talk that President
Tip O'Neill would offer his resignation
to accept a more profitable berth in an
other league, II is more than likely he
will be at the head of the Western again
next year. Directors George Tebeau and
Joseph Cantillon have asked O'Neill to
accept the denomination and, it is said,
have offered him the same salary he would
receive IL he accepted the position of tour
ing agent offered him in one of the big
leagues. 1t is thought the other directors
will agree with Tebeau and Cantillon.
The transfer of the st. Joseph club to
Lincoln. Neb.. has been talked Of for some
time, and undoubtedly the Nebraska town
will secure the franchise.
It is apparent from the above that Tebeau
and Cantillon have agreed on a plan to
force Bill Rourke. just as Tebeau and
Hickey tried to four years ago. Under the
constitution of the Western league the an
nual meeting OF the league lot p1e electlon
Of officers must be held at The town that
wins the pennant. This is Des Mones and
the date for the meeting is in January.
Therefore. any election that may be held
in Chicago on Saturday will be Illegal It
is known that Tebeau and Cantillon have
been getting together to force RouriSe and
Duncan into accepting a circuit that will
protect Tebeau. keeping in Denver and one
other Colorado town. Mike Cantillon made
a boast some time ago that If Rourke
didn't come down they would take his town
away from him. Tip O'Neill has been joke
as n league president. but he will do what
Tebeau and Cantillon want him to. just as
Hickey took his orders from Tebeau. II is
apparent that the fight is well under way
now.

Mrs. j. II. Dumont outlined the matter
and gave some OF the arguments in favor
Of the cadets, and the meeting was open
to general discussion. A composite Of the
arguments is that the camp and drill are
good things that the discipline is good.
Some did not like the idea of the boys
mixing with others than their crowd, while
others thought that this feature was one
of the strong points of camp. The ideas
Of camp Of some of the women were very
vague and Mrs. Smith called upon Cadet
Harry Koch. who was present, TO explain
the working OF the camp and what the
boys did during the time spent there. Mr..
Koch gave a Straightforward explanation
of the time spent in camp and seemed to
enlighten the situation considerable.

Mrs Andrews said that the question was
one of morals and the sanitary question.
She thought that It was good for boys to
be put upon their own resources and to
break away from their mothers apron
strings. as they must learn at some time
to resist temptations of life, and IL the boy
is well equipped at home there is no danger
on the moral point. Mr.. Waterhouse said
he was glad to have heard the objections
which had been raised against the camp
as they could be guarded against In the
future Some Of the women had said that
the boys had learned to smoke in camp.
but Mr. Waterhouse said that the per-
centage OF cigarette smokers was greater
in the ninth grade = boys who had never
been to encampment - than among the
older boys who had been to camp. Boys
soon learn that their chances of promotion
are destroyed II they smoke and this is a
great inducement for them 10 discard
this habit.

The oninou. owl.

It's an odd thing, but there are Z
number Of people who have a distinct
antipathy to the screech owl and can
not listen to single burst of its
hilarity without shuddering. The
screech owl is supposed by the negroes
on southern plantations to be in direct
communication with all the ghosts
and giants Of the forests. He plays
a great part in the more weird folklore
stories of the darkies. A funny super
stiti0n in regard to the screech owl is
that IL you will take your shoe or slip
per OF your left foot the first time you
hear an owl laugh and turn the shoe
sole upward on the floor and place your
''st0ckin' foot" ON the bottom of the
shoes sole the owl will stop laughing
and fly for ten miles without rest.
