hole, but in swift mountain water that
was never much warmer than 81 de-
grees.
"A boy had to wiggle and thresh
around like trout to keep from freez-
ing to DEATH" said Sherman.
Then in winter Charley used to
scoot down the Maine mountainsides
on two barrel slaves. The boys there
didn't have skis. They elevated lit
tie framework rudely over two barrel
slaves, and then sat upright on top
of the framework, while the polished
barrel slaves went careering down the
long, stony slopes.
1t was considered something of a
feat to be able to ride this crude de-
vice down to the bottom of mile
long hill and maintain ones seat, but
young Charley Sherman could do it
and fold his arms while the scenery
roared past his ears.
All this time young Charley had
never seen a dollar of his own. When
summer came again he and his brother
picked up long slender pole in the
woods. They adjusted sharp hook
on the end of it and wired a tin can
just below the hook. They punched
this pole hook first high into the
spruce trees, cut off wads OF spruce
gum which ratified pleasingly into the
tin can.
They had hopes of selling the gum
for real money. Yes, 1t was worth
real money, but when they marketed
it in town the storekeeper would not
pay in legal tender. They might trade
it out, he told them.

we had some more credit coming"

But Coronado wouldn't take il as

death.
Tradition tells US this took place on
Thanksgiving day and Coronado made

We've got Turk to kill anyway"
he said.
But we mustn't take this too seri-
ously. There is nothing in the records
to show that Coronado said It.
They still marched on and finally

Captain Heitfeld motors for hobby.
Andy Fahy's hobby is playing check
ers. P@rolman Mcdonald dotes on
whist.
John Lee Webster's hobby is art.
His ambition is to develop the ar
tistic spirit in Omaha. As an exem-
plar of his hobby, he appears in raj
ment of artistic assembling. His
neckties and vest fit into their ap-
pointed places to produce sartorial
harmony. He knows the difference
between the touch of the artist on
canvas and a daub. He believes that
Art is long and time is fleeing"
and he believes the soul is dead that
knows no art. He was the guiding
spirit of the Friends of Art. He en-
courages art for arts sake. He wants
'Omaha to appreciate art. He does
not refer to this as a hobby, but it
serves all of the purposes of hobby,
William F. Wappich, lawyer, is a
man with hobby, and while his pro-
fession would suggest that his hobby
run to the law and legal propositions,
it does not. Instead, the hobby of
Mr.. Wappich is. to have every build
ing have its main entrance on the
street level There is nothing that
he abhors more than to fpd build
ing, especially business house or a
public structure that has to be en-
tered by climbing steps.
And the pet hobby of Mr.. Wappich
is coming to be realization, it being
asserted that the long flights of steps
are becoming things of the past,
Some twenty-five years ago and
when he was young and briehess
lawyer, Mr. Wappich came here from
Davenport, la. He liked the city and
remained. AT the time he needed
money more than he does now and to

Grohs History of0nlaha
All the truth and untruth that's fit to know

doubt that Coronado journeyed quite
way into Nebraska.
Here we may well pause to consider
the blindness OF the Spaniards They
cooked only for gold, but they did not
appreciate the undreamed-of gold that
this fat and black" soil would pro-
duce in years to come. Some things
are gold that don't glitter"
Here we might also look again at
the noble Indian. Coronado, in one of
his letters to the Madrid Evening
Star, says:
"The Indian braves are OF a tall,
graceful and athletic figure, as straight
as an arrow and as proud as lord,
whilst the squaws are short, thick,
STOPPING, poorly-clad and squalid. The
squaws do all the work. The lords OF
the other sex recline by the fire or in
the shade, kill the game and their
enemies, do the stealing and most of
the eating and play the dandy"
In some ways the red mans posi-
ton in those days was an enviable one.

and an extra one between u.s.
When he wasn't plucking spruce
gum, angling for trout or shivering in
the waters of the mountain creeks i'll
summer, young Sherman was spread
ing hay cocks to let them dry after a
rain. This was tiresome, and the lad
finally decided the farm, especially a
stony, mountainous, heavily-timbercd
maple sugar farm, was not where he
wanted to spend his life.
At 10 his mind was made up lilo
rode regular train to Anita, la, TO
clerk in drug store. Later he worked
in a drug store in Des Moines. He be-
came a registered pharmacist, and he
gan to look around for a bigger job.
He had a friend, in Omaha. Yes,
that's how he happened to come here.
The friend wrote him that he had pur
chased a drug. store, and wanted
young Sherman to work for him.
That was in 1881. Sherman came
that year.
when l got here the fellow had no
drug store at all He had been nego-
tiating and thought he had one" said
Sherman. so | was thrown on my
own resources here in strange
town"
Soon the young man picked up
job in drug store run by an old Ger
man at Tenth and Howard streets.

Comb Honey
By EDWARD BLACK.
those Were the Happy Days!

Do you remember the first time
you took a girl to party? She went
to your school and you saw her there
every day and sometimes at the gro
Gerry store, and yet when it came TO
asking her to go to a party with YOU
there was a feeling of trcpidatlon
which made you quake. The thought
of having the exclusive privilege OF
being her guide and protector and
beau for a whole evening sort OF over
whelmed you. Sister or mother would
have given some helpful counsel, but
you resolved to go through with 1t
alone. You went up to the kitchen
door Of her home and met her mother,
who was cooking supper. She greeted
YOU with a friendly smile and you
asked if Marjorie was at home. Then
it was that you needed help, but no
help was in sight.
Marjorie ingeniously bid you walk
into the parlor, which you did, dazed-
like, and began to tumble the old
plush-covered photograph album. The
girl of your youthful dreams instinct
lively sensed your troubled face. She
sought to put you at ease by asking
II you had passed at school and if you
knew that Susie Simpson had the
chickenpox.
Then you asked her if she would go
to the party with you. 1t was like
going through some dark place with
a speck of light indicating an exit in
the distance.
She said she would go with you,
and then the light broke in upon your
clouded mental recesses.
You hurried home and aroused the
interest and curiosity of your family
by giving a demonstration of the care
with which a youngster can dress
himself when he is going to a party
for the first time with girl.
AT the appointed hour you pre-
sented your immaculate being at the
front door of Marjorie's home, and
new feeling OF citation took posses
sion of you as she appeared in her
party dress. You did not see Mar
tories little brother hiding behind a
drapery to get glimpse at sister
beau. Your vision was defective. At
the party you imagined all of the
other girls were jealous. You re-
turned Marjorie to her fathers house,
and the next morning your mother
and father smiled knowingly across
the breakfast table.
She was your first girl, was Mar
jorie. There were many girls after
Marjorie, but nevertheless in the after
years you sometimes wondered
