an advertisement for Postum and
Grape-Nuts. 1t is true that these ar
ticles are spoken Of here In public
manner, but they are used as illustra-
tions Of manufacturer seeking by
example, printing on each pkg. truth
full, exact statement Of ingredients, to
shame other makers into doing the
fair thing by the common people, and
establishing an era Of pure food, but
that procedure has not yet forced those
who adulterate and deceive to change
their methods, hence this effort to
arouse public sentiment and show a
way out of the present condition OF

Omaha's Hack Equipment.

There are no hansoms in Omaha today;
nearly all are four-wheelers. with a few
coupes. The two-wheelers with the man
up top behind had quite vogue here a
few years back. Jim Stevenson, the vet
Gran liveryman. put large number on
the streets, but after a time he sold tho
whole collection to a Boston party.
1t is the consensus of opinion among the
hackmen that the development of the street
car service has had no very bad effect on
their business. "a man who wants a hack
will get one," said Jim Tucker, and those
who heard the expression agree with its
conclusion.
There are about two score hacks avail
able for street duty in Omaha, and about
twenty members of the union own their
carriages. II. q. Rockfellow owns ten OF
the street hacks, which are handled by
hired drivers. The carriages OF all own
ers do a good deal of double duty, with a
change of horses for the day and night
shifts.

views of an Old Timer.

Jack" Carney is the Oldest man on
1.-THE boot" in Omaha. as to service and
years on earth. His memoirs, If carefully
and truthfully written, would furnish food
for the keenest sociologsts to digest. The
deductions to be drawn should undoubtedly
be enlightening to that half of the world
that doesn't have even a hazy idea as to
how the other half lives At so years Of
age Carney has come to be a philosophers
in thought and an advocate of the better
side of the hackmen's lives in action. He
puts his beliefs thusly:
"Hackmen draw all too much blame for
other folks failings. 1t is natural that
this should be SO to a certain extent, and
up to any reasonable measure we do not
object to shouldering a share of trouble.
to ease the other chap. But the general
public that does not come into close touch
with us-especially the women who are
altogether home bodies-get many a tale
handed to them which puts the hackman
away to the bad in their estimation.
Few people outside of those who have
business dealings with hackmen as a part
of their daily life know that we do not
haul men who are drunk. to use the blunt
word, unless a personal friend is with the
party. or unless we know him ourselves.
lished in self-defense. The reasons for IL
are many. A man who is incapably drunk
will mess up hack almost invariably; he
may not have a cent when he strikes q
hackman to haul him home; he is likely to
be quarrelsome and hard to handle. Now.
about the money part: The man when he
comes to. at home or wherever he ordered
himself taken, will say that he had money
before he got the hack, and his friends
know that he started out with money. He
may have been In all sorts of places and
in every kind of company before he took
refuge with the hackman. He forgets
where he spent his last change. or cannot
remember who he was with. What more
natural than that he should take chance
shot at the last friend he could find, and
lay the blame offhand on the driver. who
perhaps took a verbal promise to pay for
his work and his trouble? See the pos
sibilties for Ill to the hackman in such a
situation as that, especially there is
nearly always an excuse to be made to
some one, at home or elsewhere. Thus
while playing the really friendly part the
hackman accumulates smudge of bad
reputation that will rarely be forgotten.

too, were the source of much satisfaction
to the drivers. The man with the prize
team was indeed envied Of his fellows.
Hackmen with the proper qualities to make
the business q success have always been
wise in horse lore; many OF them veterin-

knowledge OF what to do for an animal

Alfred Wallace, better known to the
of the west, as "Sez l." is one of the noted
drivers of the city. His remarks at the
beginning of this article are but an indi-
cation of his somewhat unpublished but
direct way of reasoning. 1t is only a few
months since a we'll known councilman
missed the last car to his section of the
city and hired "Sez T. to draw him home.
Afterward the hackman. with the perennial
smile, found $40 gold piece in his pocket.
Telling about 1t afterward. he said:
''Sez 1 to myself, seq l. there was no
double eagle an my kick before 1 pulled the
councilman out home. Hence, SEE /, the
councilman must have got a cross-eyed
blink at the sinner he staked me to. 1t
