My Dear Mrs. Estes
So often | have thought OF writ
ing you again and telling you just
how much we enjoy your son IN our
home. We make home-folks OF hlm,
SO much SO that when we invite nm
to tea, we let him be the only extra
thing at our table. We never try to
do anything elaborate for the boys
just try to make them feel at home
with us. We like to have them run
in for an evening with us any time
they care to come. ....-
The women Of Greenville never
felt the duty Of service so much as
we do now. Many, many things we
want to do for the boys-someth9ng
personal for each one. The Red
Cross is begging for every hour that
| we can give then-they have 50
| much that must be done-and the
servant question is q problem here
We are having more home duties
now than in the past, but we know
the busy people are the happy ones

means everything.

vigor in their eyes we never saw

AMATEURS WILL
DECIDE TITLE AT
ROURkE PARK
Championship Of the Greater
Omaha League viii Be De-
cided by Double Header
Next Sunday.

Never In the history Of amateur
base ball in Omaha has as interest
ing 4 game been carded as will be
played at Rourke park next Sun
day to decide the championship OF
the Greater Omaha league. While
tn probabilities are that the cham
pionship will be decided. great in
terest is being manifested, due to the
possibility that the three teams tied
at the end of the regular schedule
may again tie up in the post season
series for the championship.
The Armours play two games, the
FIRST with the Murphy-Did-Its and
the second with the Longways of
Council Bluffs. Should the Muir
ohvs win the initial performance it
cinches the title for the blacksmiths.
A win in the first game by the Ar
mours and loss of the second by
them to the Longways will tie up the
series, while a win OF both games
will give them the pennant.,
The Longways in the first double
header OF the series lost both games.
playing way below their usual form,
Last Sunday they apparently became
used to the grounds and came back,
winning their game from the Muir
phys. A continuance of this form
with the Armours tired after play
ing the first game lead many OF the
dopesters to believe another tie
probable. A tie is the most the Bluffs
boys can hope for.
The Armours lost their game to
the Mnrphys last Sunday and with
the pennant in sight a battle royal
is assured in the first game. Both
teams have played fast ball all sea-
son and are evenly matched The
packers will place their strongest
team in the field for the first game
and will enter the contest favor
lite with most of the fans.
The first game will start at 80
and a large crowd is anticipated
Last Sunday fair crowd was pres
.nt notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather conditions. With warm
weather and a program such as is
being offered by the Omaha ANA
teur Base Ball association the park
should be packed to capacity.

he left to US, and all that, Maggie
said; and it talked lot about how
lucky it was that he got back just in
time before the other letter had to
be opened next November. But it
didn't say any more about his trip
or anything. The morning papers
will have more, Maggie said, prob
ably"
yes, of course, of course" nod
ded Jane, rolling the corner of her
upper apron nervously (Since the
$4,000 loss Jane had gone back to
her old habit of wearing twin
aprons.) Where do you suppose
he's been all this time? Was he
lost or just exploring?"
Maggie said it wasn't known
that the paper didn't say. 1t was
an extra anyway, and it just got
in the bare news of his return. But
we'll know, of course. The papers
here will tell US. Besides, Maggie'll
write again about it, I'm sure. Poor
Maggie! Pm SO glad she's having
such a good time"
Eyes, of course, of course" nod
ded Jane again nervously. Say,
Flora, | wonder-do you suppose
we'll ever hear from him? He left
US all that money-he knows that,
of course. He can't ask for it back
the lawyer said he couldn't do
hat! Don't you remember? But, |
wonder-do you suppose we ought
to write him and-and thank him."
"Oh, mercy" exclaimed Miss
Flora, aghast. Mercy me, Jane! I'd
be scared to death to do such
thing as that. Oh, you don't think
we've got to do that?" Miss Flora
had grown actually pale.
Jane frowned.
Il don't know. We'd want to do
what was right and proper, of
course. But l don't see" She
paused helplessly.
Miss Flora gave a sudden hyster-
zeal little laugh.
well, I don't see how we're 60
ing to find out what's proper, in
this case," she giggled. 1--WE can
write to magazine, same as l did
when | wanted to know how to an
swer invitations and fix my knives
and forks on the table. We can't
write to them, cause nothing like
this ever happened before and they
wouldn't know what to say. How'd |
we look writing, Please, dear edi-
tor, when a man wills you a hun
dred thousand dollars and then
comes to life again, is it proper or
not proper to write and thank him?
They'd think we was crazy and
they'd have reason to-! For my part,

The telephone bell rang sharply
and Jane rose to answer it. She
was gone some time. When she
came back she was even more ex-
cited.

did it tell anything more?"
"Not much, l guess. Still, there
was some. He's going to bring it
home. It's most supper time. Why
won't you waltz" she questioned, as
Miss Flora got hastily to her feet.
Miss Flora shook her head.
II can't. l left everything just
as it was and ran, when l got the
letter. III get a paper myself on
the way home. I'm going to call
up Hattie, too, on the long distance.
My, it's most as exciting as it was
when it first came-the money,
mean--isn't it," painted Miss Flora
as she hurried away.

papers during the next few days.

that he would say nothing. He did

he said.

views and rumors of threatened
death and disaster in impenetrable

but in an incredibly short time the

these bare facts:
Stanley G. Fulton had arrived at

had taken immediate passage to
New York.
Arriving at New York, still to
avoid publicity, he had not tele-

fortunately not met any one who
recognized him until his arrival in

nice man" declared Miss Maggie.

And Miss Flora, eagerly entering
into Miss Maggie's discussion of
frills and flounces, failed to notice
that Miss Maggie had dropped the
subject of Mr.. Smith somewhat
hastily.
Hillerton had much to talk about
during those summer days. Mr..
Smiths going had created a mild
discussion-the ancestor Teller"
was we'll known and we'll liked in
the town. But even his departure
did not arouse the interest that was
bestowed upon the removal of the
James Blaisdells to Plainville; and
this, in turn, did not cauae so great
an excitement as did the news that
Miss Maggie Duff had inherited
$4,000 and had gone to Chicago to
spend it. And the fact that nearly
all who heard this promptly de-
clared that they hoped she would
spend a good share of tin Chica-

Omaha Cycling Champ, Now
Noted Artist, Visits Here

In 1898 Charlie Hall was the
champion bicycle rider Of the world,
and with his brothers, Virgil and
Richard. also bicycle racers of note,
they made their home in Omaha.
They were residents of the city for
10 years and brought much fame to
the Gate City," because Of their
prowess in the big racing game OF
their time.
Now the three boys are residents
Of Seattle, Wash, and are noted as
being among the worlds most noted
animal painters.
Charlie is in the city visiting old
friends. He came here from Burling-
ton Junction, Mo-, where he received
commission from c. D. and {. r.
Caldwell, brothers. to paint pictures
of individuals and groups of animals
which constitute the worlds great
sst herd of Aberdeen-Angus cattle.
Some of the individuals that will
pose for him are worth $4,000 and
are better known to beef breeding
fanciers than many great men. The
paintings will cost $1,000 and the
originals will hang in the halls OF
the Caldwell homes, while copies
will adorn calendars which will be
shown in homes in Europe, South
America, and all over the world
where lovers of the beef types OF
cattle live.
All three Of the boys possess the
artistic gift and are big game hunt
ers. They spend much of their time
in the coastal ranges of the Rockies
and Sierra Nevadas, hunting and
sketching big game and many OF
The original paintings are reproduced
in copies as caiandar subjects which
have been distributed all over the
universe.
Charlie has a special penchant for
the painting OF domestic animals and
much of his time is spent in execut-
ing commissions for these and his
travels take him over widely scat
tered territory. He says Omaha mas
the warmest spot in his heart and
every day spent here with OLD
friends Is 1 royal holiday tor pun.
