"The power is secured from seven falls" said
Mr.. Gaines, land in instances they mad to be
tunneIed out 1t was immense project, put
through by English capital"
Gaines had charge of 1900 Indian workers on
this operation.
Before and after all these activities Gaines was
a ranchman. He foreman of big ranch in
Rock county, and his ,ranchng experiences extend
to other parts of the big west.
The ranch life has its brand upon him And
this is more than the big light brown stetson hat
he wears. The city clothes can't disguise the man
who has lived and done things in the big open
spaces. He could step right into western" NOV
ing picture film and be recognized by the audience
as belonging there.
Was he globe trotter?
oh, no. indeed, says Mr.. Gaines deprecatingly.
Nothing like that in his. Globe trotter! Well he
guesses not. OF course, he did go to Hawaii
once and then another time he made little trip
TO Japan.
But" says Mr.. Gaines, trying to excuse him
self for these trips what is a young fellow to do
with his money? I wasn't married then. and I
got rid of the money made and didn't need by
travelling once in while. That's ALL"
Being pardoned for taking these trips, Mr.
Gaines said he got married next and came to
Omaha That was eight years ago, and young
Gaines had $165-which wasn't his. He had boz.

He became an inspector of farm loans for
Thomas Brennan aud it wasn't long before he was
much more than inspector. He owner
of farms and a capitalist. He was In the banking
business at Plainview Neb., and was director
of the City National bank and of the Bankers
Mortgage Loan company. He is at the present
time director OF the City Trust company
He is closely associated with John c. Barnard
in land matters and has numerous big farms.

Also He Has Places Where
Men May Eat and Drink.

Where the old barber shop formerly was. Just
back of the bar, grill has been built that is
right up to the minute. Seven stalls around tho
walls each with a table and places for four to six
persons, provide the nice, coy privacy that is
restful to the tired business man." The center
of the room is provided with other tables. The
floor is of white tile. door is to be cut through
the wall. connecting this room with the dining
room. and the dining room will also be provided
with white tile floor.
"And meas!" Mr. Gaines exclaimed. Why,
they cant be beaten. But the prices remain the
same Come down Sunday and try my So
cent Sunday dinner as my guest"
(The interviewer. who is a bachelor, made
full note OF the invtation.)
All through the hotel the signs of improvement
and remodeling and refurnishing seen. When
Dan Gaines took charge last December he made
immediate big purchases OF new beds, with finest
springs and mattresses, and OF new carpets and
other furniture. Then he sent word to all the
charitable institutions OF the city and told them
come and get the old beds and furniture without
money and without price The only stipulation
he made that the things were to be used by
the charitable institutions in the work OF charity
and not to be sold
The things went out of the hotel their
missions of kindness. and the things also
came swiftly in. But the prices remain the same.
Mr.. Gaines brother. Arthur A. Gaines, is his
steward. and has charge OF the cooking, dining
rooms and supplies.
His Drother-in-law. John 7. Daniel is active
manager of the hotel.
Dan is nearly always ION the job" He is gen
orally sitting around the lobby smoking and talk
ing to some man, except only during about six
weeks of the year, when he goes out fishing
and hunting trips. He likes the lakes OF north
west Nebraska for his piscatorial pastimes and no
goest Texas to be a Nimrod.
These are his only diversions, he says. They
the proper kind for who has lived in
the open and done things and who is now pro-
prietor OF a hotel that has for many years been so
popular among the stockmen and ranchers all over
the west.

But alas for the biographer!
His path is rocky in writing up Dan

but Just about himself and his exploits and adven-
lures and accomplishments. Otherwise there isn't

he is such mixer" and knows many people

He Keeps Right on Going.

He was born in Illinois and moved to Iowa at
an early age, where he grew up into husky young
man and IN course OF time entered the Iowa State
university. His beef, Drawn, energy and intelli-
genoe quickly raised him TO an important place or

successful while Gaines there. Charlie

Something still more exciting attracted the at

Iowa regiment. and away they went toward the
west, with the Philippines their destination At

captained and coached and then took down to Lee

THE VERY TIME When Powerful Food Is Most Needed,

The need of delicate yet nutritious food is never felt so keenly as when a convalescent gets a set back on ac- count of weak stomach. Then is when Grape-Nuts shows it's power for it is a most scientific and easily digested food.
 About year ago." writes Kansas woman, my little six-year-old niece left the invigorating and buoyant air of Kansas, where all her life she had enjoyed fairly good health, to live in Ohio. She naturally had a change of diet and of course change of water, and somehow she contracted typhoid fever.
 After a long siege her case seemed hopeless, doctors gave her up, and she was nothing but skin and bones, couldn't eat anything and for weeks did not know even her father or moth- CT. Her parents, in trying to get some thing delicate and nourishing that she could eat. finally hit upon Grape-Nuts food and it turned out to be just Che thing.
 She seemed to relish 1t, was soon conscious of her surroundings and be- gan to gain strength so rapidly that in a short time she was as well, play full and robust as if she had never been i'll.
 We all feel that Grape-Nuts was the predominating factor in saving the sweet little girls life"

What with the abundance of exquis- ite faces, run with silver or gold threads, and the pliancy of silver and gold tissue, it looks like an easy mat ter to construct an enticing evening gown. These tinsel laces are com bined with silk nets, chiffon, and other laces, and the number of beautiful dancing and party frocks employing them testifies to their fitness for such use. The secret of success seems to lie in knowing when to quit. They are not to be too lavishly displayed, but either to be used sparingly in decoration of other airy fabrics or to be yelled and softened under trans parent stuffs. One has always to be- ware of too much glitter
 For fine management of silver tissue and tinsel lace, combined with chif- ion and silk lace, the beautiful gown shown in the picture is testimonial to it's designers artistic and good sense. A narrow founce of silver tin sel lace is set on the inside of the bottom of the skirt, and silver tissue makes the short-sleeved bodice, which is partly yelled with chiffon. The body of the garment is of white chif- ion with wide white silk lace forming the sleeves and part of the over skirt drapery. The bodice is shapely and modest with the chiffon over drapery forming short jacket effect fastened at the front with a silk rose.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root, pr. Kilmer's Prescrip-
 tion, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attention as they control the other organs to a re- markable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system by Altering the blood.
 The kidneys should receive some as- sstance when needed. We take less ex- ercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kid neys to do more work than nature in- tended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brickdust or sedi- ment, sallow complexion, Rheumatism. maybe weak or irregular heart action. warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more serious trou- ble.
 An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. There is nothing else like 1t. ls is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in pri- vate practice and it is sure to benefit you. Get a bottle from your druggist.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,. Binghamton. N. Y., for ! sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

Hats for wear at the afternoon con- cert or reception or any of those af- zairs which make opportunity for wom- en to look their prettiest, provide the milliner the best chance in the world for displaying her art. Such a hat IS the crowning glory of the toilette and comes in for more attention than any other detail of it. No one can fail to appreciate that artists in headwear have made good this season with hats that are a joy to the beholders.
 These hats are usually of materials that put them in the demiseason class. That is, they belong to no par ticular season and many of them sug- xest sunny skies and southern climes. This adds to their interest to the tour ist who finds plenty of uses for them.
 Two wonderfully attractive models are shown in the picture above. One Is an odd, quadrangular shape with black satin brim and silver lace crown posed over a brilliant green satin lin- ing. It Is trimmed with ornaments made of ostrich fibers and narrow faille ribbon.
 The other hat Is turbanlike shape

with narrow dropping brim. This is covered with black satin laid in folds and finished at the back with a flat bow of the folded satin.
 All of the crown is covered with full-blown shaded pink roses. and over these big airy puff of black ma lines is caught. It is gathered under one rose, which fastens it to the crown at the left side and toward the back. An assemblage of women in hats equally good, and of this character, makes a lovely color display that pleases everyone and adds more charm than we are likely to perceive. or acknowledge, to many a gathering.

The Christmas Card.

About hundred years ago the first Christmas cards were used. These were printed in London and consisted of a. visiting card with the words, "A Merry Christmas printed on it. Later the cards were made with lit tie scenery on them and picture of the robin. This bird was used be- cause he Is called the English Christ mas bird, and also The Savlor's Bird" on account of tbe old legend regard ing it's red breast. From this time on the cards became more numerous and of more varied kinds.
