DUNDEE RIVED OVER PAVING
Various Factions in Little Town Dis

DOne Paving.

Pretty Dundee is even more heated by
the paving question than by the weather.
Diversity of opinion on what is the best
paving material has seriously threatened
the peace of the whole community, has
sundered old friendships and even stopped
some housewives talking across the back
porches
Three factions exist. one pins its faith
to brick; another says asphalt is the Ideal
stuff, and the third asserts vehemently
that creosoted blocks are the real thing.
John Harte and his friends are the brick
enthusiasts. Sylvester r.. Rush leads the
asphalt army and the creosote cohorts
have no nominal leader, but some num-
bers.
All three factions foregathered at the
town meeting Thursday night. 1t was
quite a meeting. Nearly all Dundee was
there-there with fixed and rooted convic-
lions about what kind Of paving is to go

GUILD TRIES DRY FARMING
Makes Success Of Its Use in His
Rear Garden.
OVER 500 BLOOMS A DAY
Uses the Methods in Vogue In the
Dry Farming sections of the
Western Part of the
state.

j. NJ Guild, commissioner OF the Com
mercial club, is practicing dry farming" in
the yard Of his home near the Field club
Mr.. Guild is not raising wheat or oats, but
flowers.
Something like 500 blossoms a day are
coming out in the back yard Of MIR. Guilds
residence at Woolworth and Thlrty-fifth
avenue. When his days work is done Mr..
Guild HES himself to his back yard. and
he is on the job of shaking up the earth
around the plants at every morning.
Friends Of Mr.. Guild khow that he put
the flowers out i'm the back yard so as
not to seem to DO making "a display, and
the result is that this garden, one OF the
loveliest in Omaha, is little known.
At all events it is the best-kept back
yard in the city. MIR. Guild comes by his
hobby naturally, for his father l. NJ.
Guild, ST. is well remembered for his de-
velopment Of a back yard garden at his
home at Park avenue and Woolworth
Mr. Guild maintains that he is able to
make his flower garden grow just as well
by the dry farming methods as most people
DO by liberal use of the garden hose. He
applies the methods in vogue at the dry
farming experimental station.

ors for her achievements in music. Her
mothers father was chief justice of
New Caledonia, and her mothers
mother was born in England of French
parentage. Indeed the genealogy of
Miss Kellermann is interesting and
battling. Her ancestry had habit of
being born in the wrong country. Her
mothers people were journeying
through America, and here in Cfncin-
natl her mother saw the light Her
fathers mother was born in Spain of

vague terrestrial ties may account in
some psychological way for Miss Kel-

Her mothers musical attachments
exerted double influence. They sur
rounded her with artistic environment
and then drove her out of it.

Then the tide turned and neither

Kellermann you need go to no trouble
of apology for impertinence nor lay
diplomatic traps to catch intimate sta-
tistics. You need only ask and she'll
tell; and the asking and the telling
are more like the conversations of the
immature. she is quite guileless and
her sense of modesty; which is great, is
neither prudish nor forced. She is
without self-consciousness. She is of
that type of woman that does not COM
mand respect-she wins it,
Not that she is unsophisticated,
either She is wise with the intuitive
wisdom of her sex. Once she said to

do. wouldn't it? What business would
have coming before the curtain with
my bathing suit dripping wet and my
hair matted by the water to pose and
bow and wave my hands as though I
were a trapeze performer"
So Miss Kellermann romps through
the act; stands perched for an instant
on the springboard's edge; slips in
graceful curves into the water, and
disappears like a frightened seal. 1t is
all over before you quite realize that
you have seen wonderful exhibition

It was a frequent custom Of Lincoln,
this Of carrying his children on his
shoulder. He rarely went down street
that he did not have one Of his young

The Precautions Taken to Guard
Against Grave Robbers,

The ingenuity displayed by the an
cirnt Egyptians to prevent robbers
from breaking into the pharaohic
graves merits admiration from present
day engineers, writes Or. IIolScler
chief architect in the I'rnsSnn govern
mrnt, in q work on the SarrOphag,lS
Of khafra. the builder Of the second
GiZch pyramid who reigncd in Egypt
some 5000 years ago
The lid Of the red granite sarcOph-
agus was dovctailpd with minute
precision into the receptacle TO pre-.
vent the cover from being drawn back
the Egyptian builders bored two hole
in the lid at the edge. not showing
above. These corrrsponded exactly
with two similar holes, less deep than
the other two, sunk in the front Of the
receptacle. Two copper bolts were then
placed in tn" lid holes, and at the mo-
ment the sarcaphagus was fully closed
the holes met and the bolts dropped
in position from the upper holes partly
into the lower, thus making it impos.
sibe to move the lid.
1t must have struck the Egyptian
engineers that grave robbers might
get at the body by turning the sarcoph-
agus upside down. in which case the
bolts would glide back into their orig
inal position and permit the lid being
drawn out. To prevent this they filled
the lower holes with wax and made
the bolts hot. Upon the lids being
placed in position the bolts melted
their way into the wax and upon cool
ing became so firmly fixed that moth
ing short of complete destruction could
open the royal tomb.
1t must have been herculean labor
to hew the whole edge away, but that
is what grave desecrators did, and the
wax can still be seen in the bore holes.

Deer Lake man
HAS DISAPPEARED

Jamestown, N. D., Nov. 16.-What
has become of George Irving of Deer
Lake? ~
He came to jamestown a month ago
and placed his team in the Frank
Latta livery barn and that was the
last seen of him.
Last summer he and Ed. Fender
CAST of Deer Lake, bought hay baler
and put up 200 tons of hay. In this
he owns an interest as we'll as in the
team.
Later, it is understood, the team
was taken to satisfy chattel mort
gage which covered them while his
share in the hay is said to have been
attached.
In the meantime nothing has been
heard of Mr.. Irving. The police were
notified recently and have been look
ing for him without success.
