Transient Statesmen
in Bad Favor with
Retailers OF Omaha

Transient statesmen who pay no taxes
In Omaha and have no established bust
ness here are in bad favor with the As
ISOLATED Retailers OF Omaha Also Rome
Miller. proprietor OF the Hotel Rome. is
being criticized by the Retailers associa-
tion for renting rooms TO such transient
statesmen.
At the regular monthly meeting Of the
Associated Retailers Of Omaha at the
Paxton hotel Thursday a committee con-
sistlng Of Robert Roscnzwcig, w. s.
Hozeman and a. T. Benson was ap-
pointed to walt upon Isome Miller with
a complaint against his housing such
transient statesmen. II was when Rome
MILLER complained to the Commercial
club OF the clubs serving banquets that
the retailers took up the fight against
his housing transient statesmen whu
come here and sell goods direct TO con-
sumers.
A circular letter from the German Alli-
ance to some Of the retailers attracted
considerable comment during the course
OF the meeting. The letter sets forth
that some OF the retailers are not giving
sufficient patronage TO the German
Tribune. the German paper pub
lished In Omaha by Val Peter, and
further suggests that I'VE think the
best way TO show our appreciation. other
things being equal. Is TO prefer those
who favor us" No artion was taken on
the matter by the retailers. as 1t was
held that since the letters were written
10 individuals and not To the association,
II might not be proper subject for the
association TO act upon.

Babies and Other
Live Animals Barred
from the Parcel Post

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-Babies are
not mailable. The Postoffice department
so holds in an edict today barring them
from the parcel post.
The question arose over a request by
the postmaster at stratford. okl., for a
ruling by the department as TO whether
n patron OF his office could send a 2-year-
old child by parcel post from Twin Falls,
Idaho. TO stratford. The postmaster was
greatly puzzled because he could find
nothing In tho regulations covering such
a case. So he referred II to the Postoffice
department.
IL was the first time the authorities had
been asked to rule upon the question and
Il caused mild sensation. A hurried
consultation Of officials resulted and after
reference TO the parcel post regulations
II was discovered the Oklahoma postmas-
ter was right. that there was nothing In
them covering such case.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Stewart. therefore, decided that all hu-
man beings and live animals are barred
from the mails The one exception, how
ever. is the queen bee, which is the only
living creature that can enjoy the privil-
eges OF the parcel post.

STICKY FEET OF THE FLY.
Why the Germ Laden Pest consta ntly
Rubs and Brushes Them.

Why the Germ Laden Pest Consta ntly
Rubs and Brushes Them.
Before the men of science terrified
the world with their talk Of germs
most people thought that the househy
was a harmless creature and very
cleanly In his habits since he seemed
to spend a great part Of his time in
cleaning his legs, BUT since public opin-
ion has turned against him some ex.
PLANTATION has to be found for his ap-
parent cleanliness. Says the Bibliothek
der Unterhaltung ind des Wilson's:
'~rhe fact that fly can walk on a
glazed or slippery perpendicular sur
face has long been a matter OF obser-
vation. 1t was at first thought that
the fine hairs that cover his legs were
so small that they could enter the
pores of the smoOthest surface and in
that way bear the weight of his body.
Later 1t was thought that a sticky
fluid was secreted by the feet. which
caused them to adhere slightly to the
wall. The advent OF the microscope
has made it possible to observe the
precise facts about the hy's unusual
powers.
1T is true that the fiy's feet secrete
kind of grease. but not in a liquid
form. Each leg has from 1000 to 1000
minute hairs, and each hair carries a
certain amount Of this fat When the
fly lights on smooth surface the
whole mass Of hairs adheres to it and
each individual hair can be seen under
the microscope to leave a distinct
grease spot. which has a little circu-
lar mark in it's center made by the
hair itself
with such sticky feet it is naturally
the case that the fly collects a good
deal OF dust in the course OF his daily
perambulations If he wishes to walk
on glass OF upside down on the cell
ing he must spend a few hours every
day keeping his feet clean Of this coat
ing Of dirt"

ElREFLIES IN JAPAN.
Catching Them For Decorative Pur-
poses is Regular Trade.

poses is Regular Trade.
In Japes there is followed the pretty
custom q employing in garden parties
and In various other social functions
the native firefiies for purposes of dec
Oratiye illumination. In some cases
these tiny creatures are disposed about
in cages; sometimes they are released
in swarms In the presence Of guests.
To meet the demand for frefiies thus
used it follows that there must be some
systematic method of effecting their
capture In sufficient quantities. There
are a number of concerns In the Japa-
nese cities that employ men to catch
the 6rehies. These hunters proceed
about their task In this way:
The start Is made at sunset. and the
hunter takes with him long bamboo
pole aud bag of mosquito netting
When a suitable growth of willows
near water is reached the hunter makes
ready his net and strikes the branches,
filed with the insects, with his pole.
This Jars them to the ground, where
they may easily be gathered If one
proceed about the job quickly before
they have had time to recover and fiy
away.
The skilled hunter, sparing no time
to put them at once into his bag, uses
both hands to pick them up, and he
losses them lightly into his apron,
where he holds them unframed until
ii can contain no more Then he trans
fers them to his bag.
This work proceeds until about 2
o'clock in the morning, at which hour
the insects are beginning to leave the
trees for the dewy soil. Then the
hunter changes his tactics. He brushes
the surface of the ground with a light
broom to startle the insects into fight
when they are taken 5 before. 1t is
said that an expert may capture as
many as 1900 in a single night.-Wash-
ington Star.
