HISTORY WRITTEN
DAILY ON STREETS
Lies Tragedies Lurk in Com
monest Happenings Which
Get Little Attention.
GRIEF IN PIGEON FAMILY
BY A. R. GROH.

Today we will contemplate few
strange sights observed in the down
town streets of Omaha within the
last few days.
| saw an elderly man with long
grey hair and a sadly solemn serious
face. He wore long, blue army
ovcrcoat and he bore aloft in his hand
square board on which was painted
the legend, Have Faith in God" and
on the reverse side, God Is Love"
He looked neither to the right nor to
the left, but walked slowly along the
sidewalk near the curb.
Sorrow Among Birds.
Scattered straw and twigs and sew
eral little broken eggs lay on the side
walk at the corner of the Saunders
Kennedy building, Eighteenth and
Douglas streets. 1t marked tragedy
among the feathered people of the
city.
High up on the ledge of the build
ing two pigeons walked back and
forth in great excitement, Evidently
they were father and mother of the
babies, which lay crushed on the side
walk, What they were saying to each
other in pigeon English or what grief
agitated their little breasts ! can only
imagine. The broom of a janitor or
the shovel of roofcr may have pre-
cipiated the tragedy. That also |
know not. Passers-by only saw the
crushed eggs and the shattered nest.
A man drove a one-horse wagon
past Seventeenth and Farnam streets.
The wagon was loaded with potatoes,
about twenty-five bushels of them. 1t
was without guard, though, for all
| know, the driver may have had a
brace of pistols under his coat. The
priceless vegetables were so exposed
that anyone might have easily
sneaked up behind and stolen several
of them.
Boys and Indians.
The apparent owner of all these
potatoes was poorly dressed. But
then, our richest people are often the
most modest in their appearances. /
don't know whittier he was taking
them. Maybe to a safety deposit
vault.
Two Indians wearing their full re-
gala of feathers and beads, walked
north on Sixteenth street, trailed by
gang of excited boys. The big bucks
stopped suddenly and the boys,
startled, scattered in at least three d.
rection. Then the stold red men con-
tinued their progress and the small
boy army quickly recovered its
morale" and hurried after them.
Trained Bear.
A big Italian with full-sized Gin
namon bear was in our city a few
days ago. Bruin was muzzled and led
by chain. His master carried long
pole and tambourine He would
stop, gather a crowd and then take
collection of nickels after which Bruin
would stand up on his hind legs, stick
his nose up in the air and move

around in circle, making wierd
noise, while his master beat the tam
BOURNE. He would also shake hands
with those that wished this honor.
The bear shook hands, not the
Italian.
A Strange sight" which I observed
about three weeks ago, may be OF in
terest to candidates. Two boys were
going along distributing the cards Of
some political aspirant. They paused
at a sewer manhole and consulted a
moment. Then they dropped a couple
of hundred cards down. But there
was no water to wash them out OF
sight So the resourceful youths re-
paired to the opposite corner where,
behind bill board, they built bon
fire and fed the flames with hundreds
OF political cards from their canvas
bags, thus saving much walking and
littering up of the streets.

Sultan Has Photo
Taken; Will Be at
Pet Stock Show

Sultan" Persian cat owned by
Mrs. Agnes Cover, came up to The
Bee Office to have his picture taken.
He was brought up in his royal equip
age, market basket,
Sultan" speaks nothing but the cat
language and so his life is shrouded
in the mystery of the orient. Mrs.
Cover simply knows that he came
hither from Los Angeles. Where he
aboded before that or at the feet
of what Persian kings his ancestors
basked and blinked their eyes
throughout unnumbered centuries
only Sultan" knows and he tells not.
He blinks calmly in the hustle OF
western civilization and seems to look
with disapproval upon the folly OF
the dollar-mad, rushing oecident.
Sultan" did not submit without
protest to the camera. Just when
Herman Schonfeld would get him
nicely posed he would jump down and
run under chair or developing
tank or back of cabinet OF negatives.
He weighs fifteen pounds, includ-
ing his big tail. He bears himself
with imperial pride, a naughty aloof-
ness, like a prince held captive in
some foreign land.
He submits to the caresscs of the
"unbelievers." but in his eyes seems
to dwell memory of the plains OF
Khorassan and Irak-Ajeni, and he
seems to linger with pensive sadness
on the glor;es of his ancestors in the
reign of feth-Ali, OF Darius, of
Xerxes and Of Cyrus.
Sultan" is to be exhibited at the
pet show next week.

Smell Of Garlic is
Rich Mans Perfume

Horrors! The last straw is the high
cost of living has been reached Gat-
lie, the national dish Of Italy, has
increased more than 100 per cent and
there is every indication that 1t will
go higher, Commission men attribute
the increase to declines in garlic i'm
ports from Italy. In fact it is next to
impossible to buy Italian garlic on
the market. An inferior grade OF
garlic is grown in Louisiana, but
dealers claim that there is little de-
mand for the homegrown variety
because it hasn't near the strength
of the Italian product.
Homegrown garlic is retailing at
IS cents a pound, while the foreign
vegetable is selling at 80 and 40 cents.

MORE Than: Third
OF POLICE CASES
ARE FROM BOOZE

The weekly police record bears the
names of many who came to grief
from over-indulgence in spurious
liquors. Last week out OF lis arrests
81 were for drunkenness, IL were
gambling, IL assault, IL vagrancy, 4
threatening, and for selling liquor
without license Est~ ...s =. VI.
Some sad tales, for which booze
was largely responsible, we're told
each day of the week in police court,
and some of the victims of drink re-
ceived further penalty in the nature
of a fine or Imprisonment.
On Tuesdays calendar was Louis
Steinberg, who was accused of threat
ening to kill his wife and child while
drunk and of carrying a pistol for that
purpose He was placed under a $3.50
bond for one year to keep the peace.
Muranaga of Waimanalo forfeited a
800 bail in police court Wednesday
for selling liquor without license.
That same day Detective Anderson
rescued at the beach bather whom
Anderson says had nearly succumbed
from drowning because of intoxica-
ton. ..' -. .." ...' =. :
The emergency hospital records
show plainly how men get into trouble
who are loaded with ''square-face."
Late last week three cases came in
during one evening which came d.
rectly from drink. One was drunk
en- brawl between a husband and wife
in which the husband suffered a cut
on the arm; another struck at friend
while in a drunken frenzy, missed his
objective and crashed his fist through
a window, cutting his hand severely;
a third, woman, came to the police
station with a bleeding finger which
she said her husband endeavored to
chew while maddened with drink.

the travelling salesman claims for his

Roller Oil and Oil Grooves.
Roller oil should be Of heavy gray.

run OF too freely. Some sugar fac
tories claim to have obtained very
good results from using common crude
oil on their bottom roller journals and
! reducing their cost OF fabrication to
very low figure. Personally, I have
had no experience in using crude oil
for this purpose and our. cost OF OPS
cents per ton Of sugar manufactured
for all fabrication compares very fav-
crably with the cost per ton of other
factories, but still il Is not considered
any too low.
With the enormous pressure that is
now being carried on mill rollers in
the modern sugar factory, together
with the high peripheral speed Of the
rollers. il is sometimes a difficult mat
ter to keep roller journals running
cool, regardless Of what oil is used
and only by careful attention to the
matter can this difficulty be overcome.
II is very necessary for the mill engi.

his part will cause unnecessary delay
during the grinding season.
Our experience for years has been
that the best results with roller jour
