and there vas considerable speculation
as to whether the Omaha Printing COM
pany could get It out on time. Some OF
the older heads Of the trade doubted
very much. that the task could be done
In such short time At this time offers
Of assistance from out Of the city were
received but the managers decided that
they would DO it with Omaha men or NOT
at an.
One hundred sets OF the work were
printed. Usually opiy a few copies are
made. bun the extraordinary scope Of
this work caused a demand for an extrs
number Of the books. The six volumes
made book more than a foot thick
There were 3T5o.Oo ems set on eleven-
point solid slugs. used in the printing.
These would make a line of type is.57t
feet or nine and quarter miles long.
II one man were to set this much type
It would take him $500 hours by the old
method Of setting type by hand. More
than one-third Of the matter was figures
and tabulsted. the setting of which takes
double the time of ordinary matter and
costs double the price. In the entire Jot
only one error was discovered. The en-
tire brief was double proof read. checked
twice and had final thorough reading.
1t Is the largest job OF its kind tina,
ever has been attempted west Of Chicago
The time allotted for the work is the
shortest ever given for the completion o.
any task Of such magnitude
Rushed TO Washington.
The rush on the work was required be.
cause the brief had TO be in Washington,
d. c., on Friday Of this week, and Il was
necessary to have 1t mailed from Omaha
on Wednesday, The entire work was sent
out Wednesday afternoon. and should
have reached Washington on time.
Before the Omaha Printing company
took the job 81. Louis firms wanted 1t
They. In fact. were the only ones who
were at first considered. because 1t wss
believed that no Omaha firm was
equipped for getting out such big piec,
Of work In such short time. The man,
asement Of the Omaha Printing company
however. accepted the order with tn.
statement that Wen do it, No pric,
was set on the work. The printing firm
was told that the job had to be cut OF
the set date and the expense was not I
consideration. The fact that the omahs
Printing company accepted the order
however. Is said to have kept more thar
$500 In Omaha that otherwise would hav,
gone to ST. Louis or some other city. On
Of the printers received SIS for seven days
work on the job. Others drew nearly a
much for their work, so the printing o

HARD TO CONVINCE FRESHMAN
Handsome Paintings Of Apostles Led

An Irishman walked up Fifth ave-

church and Immediately went to
sleep. After the services were over
the sexton came and shook him by
the arm.
1--WE are about to close up" said
the functionary, "and I'll have to ask
you to go now."
"What talk have your" said the
Irishman. "The cathedral never
Closes"
This is not the cathedral" said the
sexton. "The cathedral is several
blocks above here. This is Presby-
terian church"
The Irishman sat up with a jerk
and looked about him. On the walls
between the windows were handsome
paintings of the apostles.
"Ain't that st. Luke over yonder?"
he demanded.
at is" said the sexton.
"And st. Mark just beyant him."
"Yes."
"An!, still further along, st. Tim

"Then," ne cried, tragically, "then
you reject me? And for my hated
rival?"
Yep" she answered, coldly, but col
loquially. "Yep to both questions"
"Ha! Then owe the fellow a
grudge. l have long owed him SO.
And now l will pay both debts at once
and he will fall dead!"
Lighting his cigarette at the hall
gas jet, he departed with a mocking
laugh. But the beoutiful girl was not
alarmed. She knew he could never
carry out his devilish scheme. For
she knew that he never had $40 at
once in his whole life.
