An Old Umbrella.

I am an old umbrella. There is not
much left of me now but wire and
sticks. got wet in storm and the
wind has blown me to pieces.
About four years ago I was standing
up in a show window of a large dry
goods store. There was man coming
along one rainy day and he had to go
long way that night in the rain. He
looked at me hard for moment and
then said
81 think will go into the store and
buy you, for | don't wart to get wet
tonight.
He went into the store and said to
the clerk:
81 want to buy this umbrella out
here in the window"
The clerk took me out and wrapped
paper about me. That night it was
awfully cold and wet, but ! would
rather be outside than in that little
close window. was good, faithful
umbrella for four years. One day my
master was walking through a field
and had to climb over a fence. AS
he was going over he tore my side.
His wife tried to cover up the tear,
but could not. l was so old and worn
by this time that she could not sew
me. Then I was thrown out in the
trash pile. One day, after I had beer
lying there long time, an old mar
came along and saw me. He said:
Il think can get good cane out Of
this old umbrella
He took the stick from me and il
was used by this old man a long time
The rest Of me is no good at all and
am very tired and stiff.

Room for the Old Horse Yet.

Room for the Old Horse Yet.
Though the trolley goes buzzing
along the highway
And under the blossoming trees,
And past the broad field where the
scent of the hay
Floats lazily out on the breeze;
Though it fills the red steed with sus-
picion and fear,
And causes the goslings to fret,
And zipps up and down through the
once quiet town,
There is room for the old horse yet.
Though the automobile whizzes over
the scene
That once was so peaceful and still,
Leaving dust in It's wake and the scent
of benzine,
AS it disappears over the hill
Though it's zipps and its jolts give
alarm to the colts,
Let US not for a moment forget
That, in spite of mans need of excite
ment and speed,
There is room for the old horse yet.
A thousand inventors are busy to. day
Building ships to be sailed in the air ;
By tomorrow the eagle may futter
away
From the gay people soaring up
there;
The chicken may squawk, seeing men
as they flock,
AS high as birds ever get,
But in spite of the things we may do
with our wings,
There is room for the old horse yet.
Though the lightning express. with
it's rush and it's roar.
Remains but moment in sight !;
Though the trip that took months in
the wagons of yore
Is easily made in a night;
Though the engines wild toot cause S
heifers to scoot,
And the country is under net
Made by long rows of steel for the
steam-driven wheel,
There is room for the old horse yet.

My Red Shoes.

When l put on my black shoes
I'm just common girl,
And like to play with Jimmie.
With my hair all out of curl.
But, when | wear my red shoes,
l feel so very grand
AS if l were a Lady
With Knight to kiss my hand.
| feel like saying "pardon''
Instead of just "excuse,"
And curtis ing stead of bowling,
When wear my new red shoes.
| think of trains and pages,
And "many gallant band"-
Of course it's very foolish,
But perhaps you understand

Ide to Go to Spain.

Announcement is expected of the
selection of Henry Clay Ide to be min
lister to Spain to succeed William
miller Collier of New York. Mr.. Ide
is native of St. Johnsbury and the
several appointments which he has re-
ceived at the hands of the federal gov
eminent were accredited to Vermont.
Of recent years he has been living in
New York. and it is said that his
appointment to the M adrid mission will
be charged to New York's quota of
patronage. Mr.. Ide, after service in
Vermont senate and considerable &C
tivity in republican politics was
appointed United States commissioner
to Samoa in 1891. Three years later
he became chief justice of Samoa
under the joint appointment of Great
Britain, Germany and the United
Stats. He held this office for four
years. In 1900 he was appointed
member of the Taft commission to
establish civil government in the Phil
ippines and became secretary of finance
and justice, vice-governor and COVER
nor-general. He is a close friend of
President Taft. His daughter, Miss
Annie Ide, is the wife of former Con-
gresham w. Bourke Cochran of New
York.
Long ago the Scotch learned this.
The sturdy old Scotchman must be
amused at the recent discoveries that
oatmeal is the best food in the world
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Amerl-
cans eat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say: "Look at our
nation as proof. The sturdiest nation
on earth" Still we have one good point
to make. We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy Quaker Oats and consider
it the leader of all oatmeals to be had
anywhere Quaker Oats is sold in fam
lily size packages at Csc or at 3Oc tor
the package containing piece of tlne
china. The regular size package sells
at 1Oc. Follow the example Of the
Scotch; eat a Quaker Oats breakfast
every day.
All grocers sell Quaker Oats.

CROWDS CHEER BIG JEFF
Two Thousand People Meet Former
Champ at New York.
MAY NOT RE-ENTER RING AT ALL
Has Been Training Lightly. but -Four
Years Rest May Make it Impos-
sible to Get Back into
Fighting Form.

NEW YORK. March 3.-James J. JEFF
fries. retired heavyweight champion of the
world. was accorded a remarkable demon
stration on his arrival here today. A
crowd Of nearly 1900 people gathered at
the Grand Central station and wildly
cheered the pugilist as he elbowed his
way to a carriage. Jeffries was accom-
panied by his wife and sparring partner.
Sam Berger.
Finding his passage blocked by the
crowd. which kept UP a continuous cheer
ing. Jeffries was compelled TO accept the
assistance of the station masters, who
escorted him to the baggage room, where
It was hoped that he might elude the
throng through a side door. The crowd,
however. was not to be denied and fed To
Vanderbilt avenue. where il quickly sur
rounded the west side Of the station and
blocked the passageway to the baggage
room. Meanwhile, a part Of the crowd
uscceeded in obtaining a ~passageway to
the baggage room, where 1t stood on
trunks and gave a further noisy welcome
to the pugilist. The door was finally
opened and Jeffries succeeded in getting
to a carriage with his party and was hur-
RED away, while the crowd cheered Justify.
Jeffries appeared to be In very good phy-
steal condition, Notwithstanding the fact
that he has been four years out Of the
ring. HIS eyes were clear and bright and
he said he believed he could be reduced
to normal fighting weight in time. The
pugilist said:
II have been training lightly for sveral
weeks and have reduced my weight to
about PAS pounds. Each day 1 find that
l can box faster than the day before and
1 am delighted to find that my wind is in
good shape. l feel first rate, but l can't
say definitely whether I will again. enter
the ring or not. l have been out OF the
ring four years, and that may make II
impossible for me to attain strict cham
pionship form again"
Another crowd gathered around the Of
flee building where Jeffries went on his
arrival here and the police were called to
clear the t~horoughfare.

HOPPE REAL WIZARD OF CUE
Easily Wins Handicap Matches with
Local Amateurs.

Willie Hoppe, champion billiard player,
appeared again at the Paxton last night,
his opponent being VIII Chambers Of
Omaha, we'll known among local amateur
cue artists.
Hoppe gave him the usual handicap Of
900 to DO. and the score was 400 to 81.
Chambers plays a pretty game, although a
little nervous at the start, as might be eX-
peCted OF an amateur competing with a
world champion. Several OF his shots were
brilliant. a masse shot in particular win
ming much applause.
Hopes high run last night was 1l9. and
eight times at cue he failed to score. He
made some remarkable shots, however,
showing his mastery Of masse and draw,
and especially his ability to assemble the
balls after round-the-table shots. leaving
himself a perpetual 'setup.'
The score:
Hoppe, 10, 0. 0. 0. %. 0. 1s. o, 4s. q. Q, 0,

Hopes afternoon game yesterday was
with Harry Symes, one Of the best known
of local players. Symes made the best
showing any of the Omaha players have
made against Hoppe, his score being S. to
game with a run OF lac, the best he has
made in Omaha, but which falls far short
Of his record at 1s:2 balk line. as in his
which still stands as the worlds record.

Hopes reception in Omaha has been so
cordial and so much interest has been
shown In his work with the cue that he
has decided to remain another day. and
will play at the Paxton both this after
noon and evening, This afternoon an invi-
tation is extended TO the women who may
wish to see him play. and arrangement
will be made to accommodate as many as
wish 10 be present.
