MR.. MICKLE-MAN OR MUTT?

FRANKLY, our opinion of Mr. Mickle is
that he is a mutt It seems to us that
any man who will eat all the meat and
smoke all the tobacco and deny the wife who
has borne him six children the luxury of oc-
casionally gazing upon the hero and heroine
as they romp along the film at a ten-cent
show, is mutt, if mutt means a selfish, old
arrogant bonehead.
But we are pronouncing the verdict be-
fore the fellow has had chance to testify
We found his testimony in the current issue
of Golfers Weekly. 1t is in the form Of a
communication to the Omaha Bee. Here is
what Mr.. Mickle has to say:
To the Editor of the 'Bee:"
1t is sad thing to see poor, silly peo-
pie of the twentieth century complain
ing of the high cost of living and say
ing they can't live on salaries of $500
all the way up to $4,000. For fifteen
years my salary has ranged from $50
to $50, and / have good sum of money
in the bank, wife and six children [
manage things on common sense basis.
No foolishness. Nickels spent on NOV
ing pictures and candy and ice cream
are wasted. Money spent on inery is
wasted.
In my family we have nothing in the
way of luxuries just the plain every
day food. do the buying myself. Cere-
al, oatmeal, and similar foods form the
bulk of our diet. We buy one pound of
steak week. have piece of it every
day because need meat to sustain my
strength for my work. The rest of the
family do not need meat-in fact, are
better off without it. The only luxury
we buy is tobacco, and the cost of that
comes to only forty cents week. We
save much on buying bread that is day
old, thus increasing the buying power
of our money 100 per cent. Cheese I
find a good substitute for butter and
more nutritious, as well as costing only
half as much. 1t is very simple thing
to raise family on small salary if

 tend the building af 461 Gregory street

 public hearing on the matter was
 called Through a clerical mistake the
 notices sent to the property owners in
 the street read that the petitioner de- sired to build eight feet over the line
 The streets and sidewalks committee is ready to make favorable report on the matter. Martin J. Sullivan, who represented his father, said his family
 had resided in a homestead in the
 street for 25 years and he opposed al- lowing any building to go over the Eline. Alderman Corr said Wilson Mar Eshall and the heirs of the Barnum es- | tate also opposed the plan.
 Permission to use certain parts of 5 the sidewalks in Howe, Nichols and kossuth streets for 90 days was grant led the Ashcroft Manufacturin Co. Alderman Cole asked Immediate con Etroduced and explained that the con- Ecern is about to build large addition to it's factory made necessary by large lincrease in orders. He said building operations would be seriously retarded If the permission was not granted. | A number of petitions were before the council last night for permission to install gasoline tanks at the edges Of the sidewalk at various locations. The mayor in referring them to the fire, department committee said that in the future all permits granted should be directed to the director of
 public works in order that under his ldirectton the men who installed gas l oline tanks should place the sidewalk in good condition after opening it. Alderman Frederick made an effort to have an ordinance passed at once by the council forbidding any gaso- lline tanks on sidewalks which required Ifthat a hose be stretched across the Iisidewalk in such a manner as to ob-
 struct traffic. Alderman MacFayden, who had been called to preside by Mayor Wilson, would not put the res io1utfon on its immediate passage, but referred it to the fire committee
