he had seized one OF the ends in his hands.
Park Policeman Hanson pulled him away
from the wire and the police automobile
was called. He was hurried TO the hospital

although his hand was badly burned and
he sustained a severe shock.

Here's Profit and Pleasure
for the Boys and Girls

+ you will write an interesting little story
u with a plot, based on a Bee want ad, we
will give you a prize.
Have you ever thought of the stories that
can be discovered in Bee want ads? To the
boy or girl with Imagination, the advertise
ment for a lost dog would be the basis for a
story of the family pet. So intelligent that it
could almost talk. There are scores of want
ads every day that will make good material
for a story, if you will only keep your eyes
open and your imagination working.
To the school children below the second '
who write the best stories, The Bee will give
as shown in the panel opposite.
The people in and around Omaha use til
for SO many different purposes that there al

every column. They use them to buy what
ever they may need, and to sell things that
are no longer useful to them. Through Bee want ads
they secure positions and get in touch with the right
men for positions. They find lost articles, borrow
money, rent houses and rooms, buy and sell homes
through The Bee. Use your eyes and your brains, write
the best story you can, and you're pretty sure to win
one of the prizes.
Try it now. Get your parents to help you select a
plot, but the composition must be ALL yours. Its no
end of fun writing these stories. You'll learn how to
write for publication and how to discover the interesting
and unusual things that occur every day.

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Scotch Oats II stands at the
top among foods that supply nourish-
ment and vigor, without taxing the
digestion, and yet it is the least ex-
pensive food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands. fed
plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will
work better and with less fatigue than
II fed on almost any other kind of food.
All OF these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro
lessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Scotch Oats
In regular size packages, and hermet-
ically sealed tins; the latter is best for

president would be out presently, and
then, as the mountain breezes were
spreading his coat-tails out SO that you
could play checkers on them, he hiked
to summon the presidential valet. The
president finally appeared on the plat.
form. and explained smilingly but has
tily that his program hadn't any no.
tice of six o'clock reception. The
crowd stated that whether it did or
didn't he was there, and they were
going to- have him. and on they rushed

with the towns famous warm springs.
Now. a bath before breakfast is a very
pleasurable thing to take, but the way
the president was to take this did not
suit him In the least. The thoughtful
people of Glenwood had prepared a
specially-constructed bathing suit for
the president, and a dozen or SO for
the members of the party, and the pro.
gram was that the president was to
patter down into the pool on one side.
while the multitude watched from the
other side. The president positively
declined this courtesy, and reluctantly
the people of Glenwood Springs gave
up their promised presidential pleas

quick precision, and women have been
found to do it exceedingly wei. Usu-

a treasury employe recently, how
many counterfeit copper cents come
in. especially when one calls to mind
how little profit there Is in making
them. OF course, as they are of such
small denomination, they can be
passed without much chance of sus-
picion being aroused. as few people

of the counterfeit pennies are made
by Italians in New York city, and they
put them into circulation to great
extent through peddlers and small

could be heard, and as night came on
these increased in frequency and
plaintiveness. The chirps came from

wandered about the rooms on the

WASHINGTON.-Uncle Sam is now
w too big, too prosperous and too
much in a hurry even to count his
money, and instead of counting his
coins by hand he simply runs them
through a sort of hopper, operated by
electricity, and an automatic register
shows how many go through. The
coins fall into a bag and are tied up
and sealed, the government guaran-
teeing that the correct number are in
the bag.
The machine can make no mistake,
hence Uncle Sam feels safe in making
his guaranty. In this way all the
money is now being counted out at
Washington, to go to the subtreas-
uries and banks throughout the coun-
try. The treasury does a great deal
OF counting of money, and for the
purpose women are employed rather
than men, as it has been found after
long experience that the women make
fewer mistakes. Hence the operators
