YOUTH DID NOT KNOW
USE OF THIS PILLOW

A young man went up to the glove
counter of one OF the Omaha department
stores recently and stated that he wanted
to buy a pair OF gloves. The young
woman at the counter after ascertaining
his size, drew forth several different
styles and shades. She then put out the
usual little, square, green velvet pillow
for tho young man to rest his elbow on
while being fitted.
But the young man to the utter amage-
ment OF the clerk at the glove counter
and the clerks at nearby counters and all
the customers in sight, soberly mounted
the counter and seated himself on the
pillow.
The girl in a daze fitted the young man
as he sat thus ensconced and after he
with his gloves had departed there was a
general explosion of mirth in the neigh
boThood, Of the glove counter.

WOULD ABOLISH SUGAR DUTY
Beet Sugar Industry of Nebraska
Threatened with Annihilation.
WOULD BE A BLOW TO THE STATE
Chairman OF the United states Meet
Sugar Association Tells of the
Havoc to he wrought by
This Legislation,

Just at the time when the outlook for
It's future Is the brightest Il seems a
pity that the beet sugar industry Of Ne
braska should be threatened with amt
hilatlon, observed c. c. Hamin OF Colo
RADIO Springs, chairman Of the executive
committee OF the United States Beet
Sugar association. who was q guest al
the Rome Monday night
Il refer TO the effort ny the New York
importers and refiners to secure a reduc-
tlon or the abolition of the duty on sugar
during the coming session OF congress.
The likelihood OF their keeping faith in
their promise In respect OF lower retail
sugar may best be judged by their past
performances. Take, for example, the
philanthrOpic record Of Mr.. John Ar
buckle, at present one of the most voci-
ferrous advocates of free sugar. II the
duty is abolished or materially reduced
the domestic beet sugar industry will
be crushed out of existence and Mr. Ar
buckle and his friends who deal in for
eign cane sugar will have no competition
to meet. BY virtue OF his monopoly he
has forced the price to double what it
was a year ago, and, II he can secure a
similar grip on ;he sugar market, he will
undoubtedly act in a self-same manner.
European Crop short.
AS soon as II became known that this
years European crop was 100000 tons
below normal on account of UMPIRE
cedented drouth, the New York importers
and refiners forced the price to w cents
a pound wholesale. The price would un-
doubtedly have scared to 10 or II cents
had not the domestic sugar crop, amount
ing to 600,OO0 tons, reached the market at
Az to 5lR cents, in time to save the day.
by the arrival Of the domestic crop the
price was forced down a cent and n half,
and 1 look to see II go still lower.
Our association represents 80 per cent
Of, the sugar factory men in this country,
and we pay to the farmers $4,000, 900 a
year for beets. 1t seems to me that we
are entitled to a fair. hearing before ac-
ton is taken which threatens, not only
to prevent further expansion of, the beet
sugar business, but nenaces the industry
as It exists. Unfortunately for u.s. the
false impression has gained ground that
all sugar is alike and that all sugar men
are trust sugar men, We are tired of
being placed in the same boat and are
determined to have a showdown that will
settle this question for good and all. AS
a matter of fact our interests and the
interests of the refiners and importers
are directly antagonistic. Each pound we
produce from the sugar beet means one
pound less of imported cane sugar for
them to SELL"

GRUMMANN LECTURES
ABOUT OPERA THEMES

The eighth lecture in the series which
Prof Paul Grummann Is giving at the
Young womens Christian association
was delivered yesterday afternoon and
the subject OF the first hour was 'Loki.
Vulcan, Hephalstos,' while the second
hour was given up to a consideration OF
the Interpretation OF the Tristan and
Isolde story,
In the first hour the lecturer went into
the subject OF demonology and drew many
Illustrations from various myths agreeing
In underlying ideas, Tho prevalent ideas
about Gothic architecture were given n
gentle but firm touching up. Prof. Grum-
mann contended that the steeples OF
churches were to penetrate into the realm
OF air-spirits who wero to BIO frightened
away by the bells and that the style
was not modelled after the temples OF
nature" the groves, but TO give COW
cred place to worship, with the least pos
sible interruption OF pillars.
The lecture on Tristan and Isolde
showed that the lecturer had gone care
fully into the sources OF the story and
his distinction between the story Of Gott-
fried Won Strassburgh and that used by
Richard Wagner was given with thor
oughness and was fun of interest.
The auditorium was comfortably filled
downstairs for the second hour.

CHRIS SHARE INJURED
WHEN CAR MAKES MOVE

Chris Sharb, address unknown, had not
a place to lay his head. He was sleepy
and 50 tired that 5000 glasses of that
universally advertised beverage could not
relieve his fatigue, He asked in the most
pitiful of tones for a downy couch OF
everyone he met. 1t seemed he could not
find a person or an inanimate thing but
that glowered at him and refused hin.
rest. The telephone posts stepped aside
in disdain when he attempted to lean
against them. The sidewalks seesawed
and whirled him into the gutter when he
lay upon them. And the cutters pushed
and nudged him out when he asked
their cobblestones TO be his bedfellows
| The very ground jumped up and slapped
his face when he looked too pleadingIy.
SO there was nothing for Chris sharb TO
do but walk. At last, staggering weak,
he reached the railroad tracks at Twelfth
and Jones streets. The soft clnders be-
tween the rails seemed quite inviting 20
him and box car nearby smiled assent
when he pilloWed his head upon q ran
and stretched his body upon the oinders.
As he stared up at the box car and
breathed his thanks, he heard far down
the tracks the engine bell-the welcoming
chimes OF dreamland. Then the low, de-
iiberate click OF wheels upon the rail
clattered in his ears growing nearer
louder and harsher. sharb looked up al
the box car; II frowned and shook witt
rage and with hiss jumped at him.
When Sharb came TO In the surgeons
room at the police station, he found thai
his cheeks were bruised and he carried
a cut above his right eye. A Union Pa

in coupling the car. Just enough TO arous,
