USE GRIMSBY'S PIPE
ENTIRE OFFICE FORCE SMOKES
WITH THAT GENTLEMAN.
Mr.. Phlimstack Explains Method by
Which Living Expenses Have Been
Materially Reduced Without
Losing Enjoyment of Tobacco.

Stated as a general proposition. -
said Mr.. Phlimstack, u don't like a
strong pipe. | have always regarded
a mar who smoked a rank, evil-smell.
ing pipe as an enemy of society. But
the wind that blows roofs ashore
speeds the sailor, and often if we will
but wait what had once seemed an
afiliction may evolve itself into a
blessing. 1t may be so even with a
strong pipe.
There's my friend Grimsby, who
works In the same office with me.
When Grimsby came In and sat down
at his desk and calmly lighted that
pipe and smoked away | wanted to
fee, or at least to open all the win
dows. There is about that pipe a
piercing pungency, an acid acridity, a
general all around odoriferousness
that should hesitate duly to describe.
1t is all the strong pipes | ever knew
boiled into one, and Grimsby sits there
and calmly smokes 1t, never thinking
of doing any harm, but with every evil
dence of serene enjoyment, while all
the rest of us strangle.
But now see how even such a pipe
as this may be turned into a benefit, a
boon. suppose you have read In the
papers all about the increased cost of
living; how everything has gone up,
and that sort of thing; and to be sure
this has hit me along with the rest.
and where l live we've had to do some
pretty tall figuring, cutting down and
cutting down, to make both ends meet.
Situated as | am, it takes a good deal
of a financial mathematician to do
this.
You can't very well, for instance,
shorten the clothes of growing chill
dren, nor give them less to eat when
what they want is more, but we've fig
ured and figured and carved and
carved and carved, and finally we got
things down so that our accounts
would balance at the end of the week
without carrying anything over, and
we held 1t that way for a few weeks
and then, cut as we might, there came
asweek when we struck a little balance
ou the WIOHS sue Oh the leuSef, ana
then Mrs. Phlimstack a y to me:
Horace. CUES you'll have to cut
out the tobacco
You know Pm a smoker, a mod
crate smoker, myself, and | will ad-
NIT that the prospect Of going without
my regular smoke did not seem very
pleasant to me; but the rest were
going without, why shouldn't l? And
so when the order went out like that,
why, l simply cut the tobacco.
Il don't mind saying that it was a
trial to me and | went to the office
next morning feeling pretty lean and
glum. l missed my smoke sure
enough; | didn't feel in my usual
trim; not much like going to work.
Then Grimsby came In and he lit
his pipe and Ah-h-h. Grimsby's pipe
had turned to a blessing! Very quietly
l let my fellow clerks in on this, on
the little fine point in economy, and
they've all cut out tobacco, and now,
though he doesn't know it, Grimsby
smokes for the whole office"

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
BLIZZARD SWEPT STATE
wednesday the Anniversary Of Terri
BILE Winter storm that over
whelmed Nebraska In 1888.

: Yesterday was the twenty-second anniver-
sary of the big BLIZZARD" which yet holds
the record as the most severe storm that
ever visited Nebraska, as we'll as the most
remarkable winter storm ever recorded In
the west. The storm exacted Its toll OF
many human lives and suffering, and was
marked by acts of heroism, not alone In
Omaha, \but in every part Of Nebraska
The early morning OF January II, 1888,
was a typical January day, a temperature
of Is degrees above zero prevailing and a
light snow falling, with the wind from the
southeast. Sufficient snow had fallen dur
ing the forenoon and early afternoon to
tempt people to go sleigh riding, and
slelghing parties were scattered about the
city and suburbs enjoying the day. A
number Of sleighing parties had gone to
Council Bluffs.
There was no indication OF any change
in the severity OF the conditions then pre-
vailing up to about 4 p. m, when the wind
suddenly veered to the northwest with
a rapidly falling temperature. For a few
moments after 4 o'clock a partial pail OF
darkness spread over the city, accompanied
with an ominous calm. This calm was OF
but a few minutes duration. The snow
thickened, borne in singing minute par
ticles, with a violent gale and the great

Since public announcement Of the inten-
ton of City Comptroller Lobeck to run for

gresham HitchcocK files for the senatorial
nomination., he says many friends assure
him Of their support. Some Of these are
urging the comptroller to file regardless Of
what Hitchcock may or may not do.
There is a strong element in the LEGAL
democracy, as well as in The surrounding
counties. that believes Lobeck can take
the nomination away from Hitchcock II he

The atmosphere of doubt ana suspense
which has been envelopinE the Rome hotel
has been d~issipated. Judge Redick in dis

In granting a saloon license TO William b.

Judge Redlck held that the appellant, the

character that a license ought therefore not
to issue.

Coal Man in

They Have Sharp Clash Over Some

The coal man and the ice man got to-

The coal man Is in the hospital. The

STATE WINS BOTH ENDS
Prosecution Succeeds in Furnishing
Both Factions in Dundee Fuss.
BAIRD GETS IN HIS WORK
GETS Balm for His Fine by Pulling
Down Fire of Law on Fritchett
for 'PrOvoking As
Hault."

The state Of Nebraska is satisfied over
the outcome of the legal end OF the Fitch
ett-Baird feud In Dundee, but 1t is doubt
full IL either George E. Fitchett or Henry
Baird is thus content.
OF the two Mr.. Baird Is probably in
the happier frame of mind just now for
Fitchett was fined $40 and costs in county
court on the charge OF provoking an as
sault."
This evens matters up somewhat because
a short time ago Baird, who was provoked
into the assault, caught a $6 fine from
Judge Leslie. Baird turned around and
preferred the charge against Fitchett.
Deputy County Attorney Magney, who
had prosecuted Baird successfully, moved
with agility to the other side Of the table
and fell into as confidential a chat with
Baird as he had been with FItchett.
Baird received a fine SIS higher than did
Fitchett, but Judge Leslie took into con-
slderation the personal pleasure which
Baird experienced in pummeling Fitchett.
In effect, at least, Judge Leslie's decl-
SION to fine F1tchett sustains the contention
Of Mr.. Magney that If one man calls an
other a certain epithet not commonly
heard in polite society, the man called the
name has a right to rise up in his man
hood and bounce his fists off the other
mans head. There was considerable evil
dence that before the assault Fitchett did
thus villify Baird.
Another ground of provocation of the as
sault, according to the testimony, was that
Fitchett is a bit csreless-to put 1t mildly
In arraying himself of mornings before a
window on the side Of his house next to
the Bairds'.
How much of Fitchett's toilet was thus
daily completed is in dispute, but Fltchett
himself admitted that more dressing than
might be deemed seemly did take place in
front of the window.

was abandoned.
Sleighs were blown over and the occu-
pants had to seek refuge wherever most
convenient. Many Omaha people were
caught in the storm over In Council
Bluffs and had to remain there over night.
The suffering throughout the city was
intense and It taxed the heroism and cour-
age of the boidest to go to the relief Of
the distressed. Several lives were lost in
the city during the storm,
The greater loss Of life was out in the
state, in the remote sections where relief
was not to be obtained.

show is It," one asks,
"that THE LADIES HOME
JOURNAL, with a circula-
ton of 1900, 900, can
"cover" a nation in which
there are nearly 5o,oOo,o 900
women2"
The solution Is this:
In the first place, let us
eliminate the ultra-rich,
who do their buying by
whimsy and by proxy; let
us eliminate the verypoor,
who live from "hand to
mouth, unmindfully; let
US eliminate the illiterate,
pauPers and dependents!
or the remaining wo-
men, THE LADIES' HOME
/ JOURNAL goes to a repre-
sentative, selected list; it
goes to common-sense,
substantial homes, where
both price and quality are
an object. There are
several women readers to
each copy, and the inhu-
ence of a copy spreads
through it's readers.
There is not a nook or
eorner of America where
THE LADIES' HOME
