By A. EDWIN LONG.

If that historic blizzard of 1888
hadn't blown all the profit out of the
sheep business in Montana, a certain
well-known Omaha man might today
be bringing trainloads of his sheep to
the Omaha market, and walking the
streets in cowboy hat and corduroys.
But the blizzard came and so this
man came to Omaha, not at once, but
eventually, after he had drifted away
from Montana and tried other loca-
tons throughout Uncle Sans domain.
Then too. if his big brother hadn't
sent him back from the Ozark noun
tains, when, as a kid, he ran away
from home and sought to bury him
self in these hills, he might today be
a drawing southern Ozarkian farmer.
But he isn't.
Instead, he is keeper OF the records.
the scribe, the confidential adviser and
general secretary for the organiza-
ton Of big retail concerns in Omaha.
He is J. w. Metcalfe, secretary OF
the Associated Retailers OF Omaha.

hip all the time, and why shouldn't
let him have his way?
so he baked biscuits, and between
times he went out, roped some Of his
horses and broke them to ride. Talk
about wild west shows! That fellow
gave me exhibitions of broncho bust
ing that have never seen equalled in
any wild west show. He had to ride
some of those horses. a half day to
take the fight out of them, and at
noon some of them were still pitch

But the horse thief. went away with
the herd after a few days, and Met
calfe looked after the sheep in peace.
In a saloon in Fort Benton young
Metcalfe was lured into poker game
by couple of professional sharps.
"Only penny ante" they said. When
they had played half hour, they
suggested playing for dollar anty
to make it interesting.
Here boy" said big voice behind
Metcalfe. Metcalfe looked around
and saw the bartender, big Vet Wool
worth, standing over him with his
hand on the boys shoulder.
The bartender lifted Metcalfe clear
of his chair and took his place at the
table. IFS time for you to break off
the hand from now on"

COLUMBUS DIS COVERS AMERICA

How the ocean was kept from running
off at the edges they did not attempt
to explain.
There was one man, however. who
did not share these views. He be-
lievcd the world was round.
His name was Columbus. He was
Spaniard who had become famous
by discovering how to make an egg
stand on end which no one was able
to do before he did it.
intoxicated by this success, he de-
termined to discover America. He
was poor as most great men are. The
present historian is poor also. Some
of the greatest discoveries and inven-
tons and writings have been effected
by poor men.
Columbus went to Queen Isabella
with his scheme. She spoke to her
husband, the king, about it.
But the king laughed. He told
Columbus he was crazy. But the
queen stood by Columbus.

school.
All these things he learned in St
Louis.
Also he coasted down a steep hill
in that city with a load Of dozer
other boys on big sled. The speed
was terrific but something wen
wrong with the steering gear and thu

pole near the foot of the hill.
Several of the boys were badly
stunned and battered, but poor Walter

was directly in line with the pole
He had been the pilot.
They picked him up and sent fol
the ambulance. They mopped the
blood from his face and hurried him
home. They took him for dead, but
sent for a doctor just as a matter Of
course. In about as much time as
elapses between sunset and sunup
this lad began to show signs of life
The doctor pulled patches of his lip
together and sewed them fast He
bored into his nose and finding the
bones so badly crushed as to be OF
no further use to his anatomy, he
removed them in chunks and frag-
ments. He patched up the lads scalp
in various places and altogether put
him in the way of becoming a real
human being again.
But when spring came the wander
lust got him. He ducked away from
school and fractions, consulted an
employment bureau and shipped to
the Ozark mountains, where he want.
ed to work on farm and become an
Ozark farmer.
Down in those hills his brother
Richard L. Metcaife, was editing a
little newspaper. He grabbed this
kid off the train and made him fold
papers in the print shop, instead Of
letting him drive mules for the Ozark
farmers.
But Richard decided the boy ought
to go back home, SO he packed him
on the tram and sent him to his par
ents at St. Louis.
Now the lad remembered he had a
brother on homestead near Fort
Benton, Mont. He hoped upon an
other train and went to the home
stead.
There he rode wild horses, herded
sheep, baked biscuits and turned flap
jacks with his brother for few years
They got into the sheep business in
pretty good shape.

with some stolen horses. when J. W

he knew nothing OF poker, and the
fellows he was pitted against were
planning to go through his little pile
rapidly.
Then came the blizzard. The
sheep were far and wide in the hills.
By thousands the sheep were frozen
all over Montana and the great west.
The Metcalfe boys lost most OF theirs
with the rest, and J. w. fed once
more for St. Louis.
There he peddled coffee for a tea
and coffee house for a time, and then
decided once more to follow his
brother, Richard L., who was editor
OF a paper in Omaha.
When he arrived in Omaha he be-
gan to plug about in the printing and
then in the advertising departments
of the newspapers here. For tme
he was advertising manager for one
of the dailies, and that's how he got
well acquainted with the big retailers
of the city.
Then the retailers started their as
ISOLATION, and made him secretary,
which explains how he landed here
after learning river slang on the
docks at St. Louis, folding papers in
the Ozarks, herding sheep in Mon
tana, and peddling coffee from door

Those Were the Happy Days!
Do you remember the good old
days when we were gallery gods? 1t
does not seem SO many years ago,
after all, but when we come to think
about it, those days were before au-
tomobiles, monographs, motion pic
lures or wireless telegraphy were es-
tablished. Remember when some
popular show was on, how we would
wait in line for the gallery to open?
Usually one member OF our gang
would get the tickets and the rest OF
us would be waiting for him at the
topmost point OF the stairs. Then
we would make line drive for the
front row and be in our seats long
before the first occupant would ap-
pear in the parqust. The gallery in
those days represented clientele not
to be sneezed at.

Hanlons presented their "Superba"
and "Fantasma" for the first time in
