OMAHA, July 1910 the Editor Of The

works question by way of post script.
Systematic war on the Omaha Water COM

of the rates These rates according TO
decision of the United States Circuit court.
are contract rates. / never heard anybody
complain of the rates to private consumers
until certain gentlemen discovered that the
people were being robbed by the water
company. / always thought and think now
that considering the conditions of rank
barbatism in respect TO omaha's water sup
ply existing twenty years ago, rates TO
private consumers were cheaper than COM
mon dirt, and that they have never been ex-
orbitant at any time since. But II Is said
that the hydrant rates are eating up the
town. Omaha agreed to pay the rate by
solemn contract, didn't it, Omaha paws
10000 per year, as remember, hydrant
rentals. The water company pays into the
treasury OF this city $500 a year in taxes.

She Rose to the Occasion

This is the story of Warrensburg
girl who is frequently the guest of
Sedaiia friend, says the Sedalia
tMo) Capital. The president of the
Warrensburg Normal is greatly op-
opposed, it is said, to students of the
college calling up during the study
periods. Consequently he keeps one
ear primed for the jangle of the tele-
phone bell, and answers the phone
himself when he can manage to reach
it first. One day last week the girl
in question had agreed to call up one
of the Normal students with regard
to some trivial matter which they,
had been discussing. Never thinking
of the presidents antipathy to the
phone, she called the Normal. The
president was busy with a class. but
he heard the bell, and rushed to the
charge.
"Hello,' he said, glumly.
"Hello! answered a sweet voice.
Yes, the girl really has a remarkably
sweet voice when she talks over the
phone. If you do not believe IL, ask
some of the Seladia boys. Hello.
who is this?"
The president rose to the occasion.
This he responded, oracularly, 'is
the president"
The girl gave gasp of surprise.
Then she, too, rose to meet the emer-
gency.
why, howdy, howdy, Teddy" she
said. sweetly and cordially. so glad
to hear you. When did you reach

HOW TO WEAR THE HAIR.
Velvet Ribbons and Ornaments of Va
rious Kinds Are Again the Fash
ion for My Lady's Tresses.

Something in the hair is again one
of the must haves. For day wear the
black velvet ribbon is beginning to
rival the elaborate set of combs. 1t is
put on two ways, either as sloo
hidden at the sides of the low rolled
hair, or it is tied around the high knot
with bow in front.
A bunch of little curls intermixed
with putf or two is the fashionable
knot, and 1t is done at an exaggerated
height and in the evening is tied
around with a oolored velvet ribbon
to match the gown. The sight OF this
hairdressing is welcome relief from
the low dressings with the rolled
pompadour and line of combs.
Another arrangement of curls shows
them at the back of the head under
