Why He Quit the Saloon.

Christopher &. DeMurs, who was
Gratjot avenue saloonkeeper In De-
tFoit for many years, is writing a
book On his experience behind the
bar. DeMurs says that his book will
tell of some Of the schemes the saloon
makes. use of to get the money of the
lumberjacks aud patrons Of that class.
He says that his complete disgust
with the business OF selling whisky
and beer reached its final point when
a little girl came into his place and
begged for BUCKET OF coal. The
child's father was a patron nf the
saloon and little later he came stag
gering ia with the whining excuse
that he was hunting for work. De-
Murs quit the saloon because he real
jzed that it was robbing the most OF
his patrons of the very necessaries of
life, because his work as a saloon
keeper was impOyerIshing those from
whom he received his profits and was
serving no good purpose in any direc-
tion. There is nothing this retired
saloOnkeepcr has to say of his deplor-
able experience which was not already
known to be true OF nine out OF every
ten saloons, no matter where they
are located. But there is value in
the frank confession of man who
admits that his business as a saloon
keeper caused 80 much misery and
dis,&ess tn others that he would not
contipue it. That confession was
pot required in order TO convict
the saloon. but it will serve some
purpose in presenting the necessary
experience Of the man behind the
bar

Items Of Interest for the Women Folk

However, simple a wedding may be,
whether the ceremony be at home or in
church, cake there must be. And as ones
purse is fat or thin so is the kind of cake
decided upon, for, when done deliberately
1t becomes one Of the most expensive items
of the wedding
II is by no means necessary that there
shall be a fancy loaf on the table, but
when one can afford II the round cske-it
should always be shaped Enthusiastically
adds to the bridal effect. There are some
caterers who rents such loaves, for they
are not cut, and being returned intact, may
do for more than one occasion. But pieces
in boxes must be arranged for and these.
II cut and boxed by members of the family,
are not an extravaganza.
II ordered specially the little white boxed
may be square, heart shaped or oblong.
The latter cost less than any others. A

Fall Footwear

In the new display of fall footwear there
are to be seen several changes as COM
pared with last years fashions, both in re-
gard to the styles and the materials en-
ployed. It is expected that the most popular
shoe will be the cravenette. The fabric is
waterproof and, owing 20 the ease with
which It can be cleaned and the general
softness OF a woven material, It is reason
able TO expect It will meet with womens
approval. a whisk broom or clothes
brush will quickly remove dust mud or
the average soil. II II said that cravenette
will give as good service as kid, and in
some cases better, because 1t does not re-
quire a dressing and some Of the polishes
are known TO be injurious to leather.
The entire shoe Is Of the oravenette, with
trimmings OF leather in strap or narrow
band effect, with soles in two weights,
medium and fairly heavy, There are also
two styles, one cut extremely high and the
other Of medium height for wear with the
skirt Of average walking length. The but
tonholes are finished with a scalloped fly.
and the newest thing in boot buttons is the
smoked pearl The cravenette shoes are
fitted With both the smoked pearl and the
black buttons.
The heels are in Cuban style, but are
higher than those worn last year. From
one and one-half 70 two inches high is the
average
Another new walking shoe, or rather boot,
Is made from buekskin. IL has all the
appearance OF suede, but will wear much
better and Is also heavier, making II more
suitable FOR autumn wear. II has the
favored short vamp and Is twelve button
length. The heels are high.

bridegroom and bride, may adorn the box.
This, like some other "details, is unnec-

must be, with narrow White satin ribbon,
they become sufficiently decorated.
1t is on their departure that the boxes

Ye Editor had a dream. 1t
was a rather pleasant dream,
too.
We dreamed that we were
dead, and were on our way to
our last reward. 1t doesn't
matter which way We were
going, for we didn't finish,
On the way we met the
shade Of Sandy Knight. He
had been paying one Of his
periodic visits to his old

shade was sorrowful,
When we had exchanged
greetings, we inquired why
the shade Of Sandy was 80

That looked pretty near

NO PLACE TO MIX IN
Omaha Business Men Mis-
taken in Effort 20 Set
tie Affairs of others.

r OMAHA, Oct. 1S,-To the
Editor Of The Bundle Bee;
Now that the smoke OF battle
has cleared away, and the
dead and wounded are all
accounted for, l would like
to know II the game was
worth the candlef
Omaha business men worked
themselves into a lather as
to whether the Panama ex-
position proposed for five
years hence should be held
in San Francisco or New Or
leans. Just as II 1t made any
real material difference where
Il is held, or what Omaha has
to say about It.
As a matter Of fact, San
Francisco people don't know
there is any such place as
Omaha. They know they cross
the Missouri river somewhere
when going east to New
York, but couldn't name the
spot. And New Orleans folks
are Just as bad. They have
developed a wonderful fond
ness for Omaha just now, be-
cause they need assistance,
or think they DO, but II comes
almost as a Joke.
What Omaha needs more
than anything just now IL a
little more activity by the
business men along lines that
touch nearer at home. II We
had all our local questions
settled It might be worth while
70 get busy in settling the
affairs Of other folks. A
good, lively little difference OF
opinion does no harm. but It
ought 10 be about things that
more nearly concern our city
life than where the Panama
exposition is TO be held.
Let's tackle the street light
ing question, the matter OF
keeping the streets clean,
build a new hotel, get nd OF
the water plant question and
attend 20 some OF the other
things that walt attention, In
stead Of mixing into quarrels
that DO not concern US.
Let's attend 70 our own bust,

THE BUNDLE BEE.
NO BAD MONEY TAKEN


Omaha finds three depart
ments OF city administration
shy on cash.
This 10 not a novel expert
enoe, for 1t has been repeated
80 often that Il is getting to
be an old story.
But II seems to a bystander
that matters could be 30 ar
ranged that these annual de-
ficits would not occur. 1t GER
tRinly looks as II the funds
appropriated could be eK-
pended in such a way as to
cover the year for which they
are made.
This reminds US that last
year the city run short Of
money In the street cleaning
fund, and that snow was al
lowed to accumulate in a most
disEraceful way because the
city had no money to pay
laborers to remove the fall.
But, just as soon as the
snow had been trampled into
a solid mass and had frozen
fast TO the pavement. where It
remained TIL warm weather
came and nature cleared the
streets, the shortage OF money
disappeared. From some mira
culous source, dropping even
as mama from heaven, came
enough OF cash 20 buy an
automobile or two, and pro-
vide for n number OF other
things needed about as badly
as a dog needs two tails.
