Dorothy Dot was the daughter of a very
wealthy and popular man, but she was
very unhappy. Her mother being dead and
her faith sf cross and cruel TO her, caused
her to lead a very desrlats life.
Dorothy. In spite of her beauty and low
able manner, was never bright and cheer
full like the other girls Of, her age.
One day Dorothy was sitting at a win
dow in her beautiful home, reading a news
paper, which happened to be The Omaha
Bee. Her eyes strayed from page to page
until she came to the want ad page. She
read the following lines over and over
again;
WANTED-Pupil nurses at the Douglas
county hospital, 10th and Poppletop Ave,
Tel. Harvey ~. ..
The next morning Dorothy could not
be found AS you may well know. shs
had carried out the idea which struck her
as she read the above want ad. She had
gone TO the hospital to do good and ehaTi'
table work among the poor.
Dorothy's father thought he would let
her take her time about returning. And
his cruel heart would not let MIN put NM
self out to look for her.
Al last, Mr., Dots health failed and, as
he had no one at home TO care for him,
he was sent TO the hospital. Dorothy.
while assisting another nurse. was very
much surprised when she recognized her
father. Mr.. Dot was equally surprised
when he discovered his nurses assistant.
During Mr.. Dots illness, his manner and
disposition changed very much and he be-
came much attached to his daughter.
Dorothy returned home with her father
and they lived together for many happy
years, which was all the result OF one little
want ad in The Omaha Bee.

who receive special mention and honorable mention,
might have been chosen by other judges.
1t is very pleasing to know that such a wide spread
interest is being taken in the story contest. In hundreds
of homes the want ads are talked about by children and
their parents, as to which one has the best story behind it.
All of the stories, which win prizes, or receive special

STREET
LIGHTS COST
CITY $4,000

It cost over $4,000 to make Ia
coma shine at night this summer,
in addition to the current used,
according to a report that is be-
ing prepared by Commissioner
McGregor for the city council.
But of this amount the commits
sioner says that over $4,000 will
be returned to the city In the form
of material that can be used
again. He figures that the total
cost Of the street illumination
this summer is about $4,000, in
addition to the current used.
Much complaint has been made
against the commissioner because
of the expenditure of the $4,000
when the city council only author
lied the expenditure of a total of
s2,500. The commissioner has
figured out the return on mater
ial to cut the cost down to the
amount allowed by the council.
