BEFORE THE PEOPLES BAR
Stage Manager Crawford Draws Curtain on
Good Open Scene.
TOM LEE MISTAKEN FOR BIG BEAR
Several Bad Actors Are Before the
FOOtIights for First Time
in This Part of
Season.

After the recent turmoil in criminal
circles and the distribution of political
calling cards bearing the photographs and
BeTtillon measurements OF those who want
to serve their fellow creatures in the city
hall, the peoples bar resumed its morning
medley of musings and MORNINGS Thurs
day morning Stage Manager Crawford
was at his post bright and early witty a
smile as broad as Judge" Cooley's may
orally PLATFORM. while Prompter Franklin
Murphy was in his box with a new green
tie in his pocket. He viii wear the tie
next Saturday all day.
While working his way from the Arcade
hotel to the peoples bar through the snow
banks Prosecutor Lee was nearly mistaken
for a bear. as he was bundled up in a
large fur coat. Patrolman Wilson ran two
blocks before he discovered he was pur-
suing the prosecutor instead of bear
said to have escaped from Rlverview park.
The morning service was opened with a
short prayer from Court Sergeant Whelan,
who prayed for a 99-cent gas, fifty street
car rides for dollar, a municipal work
house, a new uniform for himself and for
$4,000 people i'm Omaha in 1910 He also
prayed for a pair of stilts for a little
orphan boy who lives in North Omaha.
While all that was going on Attorney
Richie, who defended p. Grove and who
had a client in the police court Thursday
morning, looked out upon the earth which
was covered with a deep blanket OF snow.
Across the street he saw girl with q
little shawl drawn tightly over her head
and a basket swinging from her left arm.
The basket was covered with a newspaper
to protect its contents from the elements
Ritchie was conjuring up in his mind the
details of the little drama being enacted
before his eyes The girl was taking a
basket of provisions to old woman who
was hungry. The girl was lost TO phys
zeal sight when she started the long climb
OF the stairway which led up to the humble
apartments OF the old woman. But pulling
aside the veil of mortal vision Richie
/ followed the girl with the basket up the

her open the door and greet the old
woman.

City Attorney Breen has relieved his
mind on the subject OF secret political
meetings and pow-wows arranged for the
special interest Of candidates or sets Of
candidates. Talking out loud Thursday,
he said:
This campaign is the damndest thing

to ciques and little punches and to secret
meetings in cellars and garrets. We have
organizations with every conceivable title
and about every object on earth trying TO
take hand in the campaign. 1 have no
use for this sort OF thing and don't care

lines. l have always thought I was
welcome to go anywhere to what was
called a republican meeting and insist

assume the great mass of men are striv-

who will discharge the duties of the once
for the good of his constituents and not
for the benefit of any political club OF
clique. Neither has any the right 20 own
him or influence his actions more thar
another.
There seems to be in this campaign a.
never before a sort Of closing all oppor
tunity for men who want to go before thu
people and be heard, and TO shut them of
by organizing on side issues and clquini
together 1 believe the meetings SHOULD
be thrown open to everybody, except per

That may be permissible possibly undo
certain conditions. What l most particu

BEAUTY HINTS FOR MEN
How to Haze a Nice Neck and Hou to Get Rid of a
Double Chin

Il don't mind telling you," said a
beauty specialist, that nearly SO per
cent OF our customers are men.
Men laugh at the beauty column
and they try to make you believe that
they don't care how they look But, as
a matter OF real fact, men are just as
particular as women.
Livery day men come to us and say:
l am bothered with wrinkles in my
face. There arc crows feet around
my mouth and my forehead is full
of little fine lines. Then, too, 1 have
blackheads. What can you do fer
me?'
I'VE take stock of the imperfections
and set to work to right them.
Men are very appreciative of what
you do for them. If you massage a

you. 1 look a hundred years young

many palaces in Newport are "The
Breakers "Ochre Court" and the
Marble Palace"
The late Cornelius Vanderbilt built
the frst-named, and it is said that he
put absolutely no restriction on his
architect, the talented Richard Nor
ris Hunt.
Mr.. Hunt, now dead, was allowed to
carry out in detail the elaborate de-
sign he conceived. 1t grew beyond it's
original plans, for the army of serv-
ants necessary to conduct such man
sion during the Newport season
forced him to find more room than he

four.

Palaces Erected BY King
Midas at Newport, K. /.

In Newport the word Villa is an
other way of saying palace.
Bellevue avenue, from one end to
the other, is lined with the most ex-
pensive homes in the world. These
now are witnessing the very ultimate
in costly gaiety, and along the superb
drive never ending line of carriages
and automobiles carry from palace to
palace the millionaire seekers after
pleasure.
Nowhere i'm the new world is the
apothesis of wealth SO perfectly illus
trated as at Newport. 1t is a famous
epigram Of a noted Yit that Newport
gives itself up to expense regardless
of pleasure. s
The long. stretch Of Villas on the
cliffs is the retiring place of plutocra-
cy, where wealthy New York can
shift to summer surroundings secure
from the intrusion of the lower five.
Forty years. ago the houses of those
who summered in Newport were real
ly cottages, but the social rivalries
have transformed the architecture
To have one of these wonderful homes
on the summit of that ocean-swept
abode of aristocracy is almost to pro-
cure the open sesame to the envied
portals of society, hence there is little
cause for wonderment that one of the
first acts of the newly grown million
aire is to buy a tract iof land, and turn
loose the best architect he can buy,
with carte blanche. to exceed any
structure on the cliff

tiful trees that overshadow it.
It took Mr.. Berwind twenty years to
get at the land he wanted before he
began building, and in this particular
he is more fortunate than his fellow
cottagers, for he has succeeded in
surrounding his place with open space
to give it's lines full effect. The villa
is full half a mile from the bay. It is
in the style of Louis XIV, and is built
of Indiana limestone.
The clever arrangement makes the
house look to be in the center of a
vast park, which to all appearances
stretches for miles.
The building stands on terrace,
and its severity is relieved by the 1tal-
ian garden which it fronts
So frequently are the handsome
Newport homes augmented by the
building of new one that the old in
habitants scarcely refer to them, but
if an original Newporter, who knows
the town of Longfellow's poem, should
come back, he would believe that
Aladdin's fairy lamp has been at work.
