Willie Lays Aside
His Skates and Goes
Back to His School
Superintendent Davidson Likes the
Idea of Giving the Pupils Two
Weeks Holiday.

After two weeks Of play. Christmas good
les and the accompanying complaints. little
Willie tossed away his skates and little
Mary chucked her dollie into the corner
and hied themselves away to that horrid
old school Monday morning.
Willie tried to work the SICK racket"
but papa was too WISE He had been there
himself So Willie profited by papa's ex-
perience. Little Mary demurely put dolly's
clothes in the little dresser where Cne books
had lain for two short weeks.
But when the school house was reached
and dear teachers welcoming smile greeted
the little tots, the old school was not so
horrid after all Willie forgot his skates,
his new sled and the air gun. And little
Mary is happy as she can be.
Superintendent Davidson is well pleased
with the attendance after two vacation
weeks. The attendance Is all that could
be expected" said Dr. Davidson. THE plan
Of giving two weeks vacation and have
school open after the first week Of the new
year works to the advantage Of all.
Instead OF beginning school directly
after the new year it is much better to
give the children a weeks play. BY that
time they have forgotten the excitement at
tending the holidays and are ready for
work. And the little ills that necessarily
accompany the vacation weeks are gone.
The principals of the various schools
report a gratifying attendance. As there
have been no changes in the teaching staff,
| the schools will be running right up to
the mark after today"
Mr.. Davidson reports the children un.
usually free from minor ills. In some
| sections sore throats have been prevalent
| but not to such an extent as TO interfere
| with the work of the instructors.

Court Finally Gets
Down to Brass TaCkS
in Deciding a Case
After Reading Ten Typewriter Pages
Justice Leeder Adopts Logic
of His Own.

Justice Of the peace and former fireman
Edward Leeder frowned a judicial frown.
lie adjusted his judicial spectacles and
looked thoughtful OF as one who would be
thought to look thoughtfJN.
Considering this case by and large,
said the court. a week ago. and viewing
it hither and yon as it we're and taking
into connection the law Of contracts, I
am ready to decide IT, But--a considerable
but forsooth 1 would like to show you
gentlemen what sort Of opinion this here
learned court can hand down II he has
good water pressure on and the steam en-
CINE is well stocked and the fire amt
gained too much headway. The learned
court will hand down his decision week
hence II that is agreeable to all the par
ties concerned.
1T will suit us" cried the defendants.
Us. too" said Charles Foster, attorney
for the plaintiff.
The suit in question was the action Of q
painter against F. W. Bacon. and con-
tractors bonding company. To epltomize
the case:
The painter worked on Mr.. Bacon's new
home for the contractor who threw up the
Job and left town when the Job was two
thirds through. The painter sued Mr.
Bacon and the bonding company.
Justice Leeder Monday handed down his
decision, In the week OF preparation hC
had pursued the law OF contracts to It's
lair. He had chased Bishop on Contracts
and doubled back on Blackstone He had
taken little flier In Justinian and was VI
on the Code Romanus; he had 0ven tackled
the proceedings Of the Saxon Witanage
mot and thus run down the common Law
clear to the boys who made 4.
Then he hired a stenOgrapher, and To-
one whole day he dictated, read, destroyed
and redictated- When done, the decision
covered ten typewriter pages. 1t re
ferred to 'contrscta ex delicta" and "con
trseta orales." II referred to Justinian an
the Witanagemot. The Code Napoleaol
was mentioned and numerous decisions o
other courts were quoted. It was consid
cradle decision.
But finally Mr.. Leeder discarded hi
polite erudition and got down to cases a
the boys In the old fire engine house woul
say. He concluded about thus:
Wherefore the learned court Is of tn
opinion that the painter plaintiff or plain
tiff painter. as you prefer, worked har
and needs the money. The defendants ar
rich and owe the money 10 somebody
Wherefore the learned court finds for tn
plaintiff and judgment is entered in tn
sum OF t175 and costs. Q. q. d. and lips

BIG CONCERNS CUT UP MELONS
Industrial Corporations Declaring
Some Substantial Dividends.
OMAHA IS TO GET A PORTION
Local Banks and Corporations Meet
Tuesday 60 Report 60 StOckhOld-
ere and 90 Declare Divi-
dends Of Profits.

Any Of that Ss2soOocoO come your way
yet?
This is the amount Of early January
cut-up as estimated by New York authori-
ties The little melon is being distributed
in the form Of annual. semi-annuual OF
quarterly dividends, and the several slices
thereof are coming In quite handy for pay
ing the bills which fail due right now,
provided any is coming in ones way.
Omaha will partake Of the melon feast
to a considerable extent The SS25OoO,0OO is
the estimated amount Of dividends de-
cared by corporations OF national scope,
the railroads, the great national industrial
concerns. But just how much Of this $526,
10000 comes to Omahans almost no one
will hazard a guess. One banker said
Monday that 100000 would be a conserva-
tive estimate or guess.
The same authority spoke pleasantly
Of another little million dollars or so,
discoursing with airy grace OF the eXclu-
slve Omaha cut-up. This Omaha melon
dissection Is presided over by the banks,
the manufactures and big jobbing houses.
Stock Is closely held in some Of the in
dustrial concerns. but others have many
stockholders. and the distribution OF divi-
dends will be fairly widespread.
Whether 100000 is too large or too
small an estimate for the local dividend, is
hard to say; it is more likely to be above
than below the figure given
Not all Of It will be dealt out in cold
cash. A considerable part Of this and
other dividends also will be put back into
the business" and the stakeholder will be
come richer that way even IL his actua
bank balance is not Immediately fattened.
Some Of the largest concerns in Omaha
as for instance the M. f. Smith & Co. DIR!
! goods house, has grown of their own incre
ment and not by selling capital stock to out
/ siders. 1t Is in this way that the NJ. L
Smith plant and business was increase,
100000 or 100000 a few years ago TO
figure somewhere around S5,OOo.OO0
