able chair and visiting with the
many, many worthy authors. He
has an immense library and does
not confine himself to the knowl-
edge of any one great scientist, es-
sayist, philosopher or poet. H
would last part with the worke of
Shakespeare, for out of his books
he derives more real pleasure. This
great writer, to his mind, touches
upon subjects that one really mar
wells and wonders that he knew of
In his early day. He also enjoys
reading from Dickens, Stevenson,
Kipling and Hugo.
Everybody is lonesome. according
to the belief OF Mr.. Conner, and his
idea of happiness is to help people
overcome loneliness by doing some
thing to cheer them at the time
they feel, to use slang expression,
all in, down and out. This, he be-
lieves, is the secret of social hap
piness.
His motto is to follow the dictates
OF ones own conscience. To do
what ones conscience deems to be
right and treat others as you would
have them treat you.
In man he admires the traits Of
sincerity and honesty. He admires
In woman the traits which make
them womanly-loyalt the love for
home, family and friends. Mr.. Con-
nor admits that women are coQuet-
fish but he believes that when 1t
really comes to the test that they
are more loyal to their own than
the men. He detests both in men
and women the traits of insincerity
and disloyalty. If they are insin-
cere their friends lose confidence
in them.
Which type of beauty does he pre-
fer, the blond or the brunei? He
has no preferencabut judges beauty
by character of the face. Some per-
sons who are very plain are ex-
tremely beautiful to friends. Why?
because they see nobility of char
acter which means more to them
than facial beauty.
His aim in life is be successful in
business and to make his wife and
daughter happy.
He does not care to be any person
other than himself He does not
envy any other man his success. his
money or his brains, but rejoices
in their good fortune.

remember that a gambling den was running

But the Renaissance was cut short Just

Mr.. Hall sat in one of The Bee editorial
offices as he talked, and veteran in the

He was addressing Harry Haskell, me-

connection with the paper dates back thirty
five years, and who was part Of the Re

served his tenure there as typesetter.

conversation of retrospective character.

One Of the things that greatly impressed
Mr.. Hall In looking about Omaha was the
number Of colleges where shorthand Is
taught. "A great thing these schools are"
he said. "and the young folks OF today are
fortunate in having such training made
easy for them When learned shorthand,
