Aristocrahc Women

Ring Cigaret Holders

Aristocratic women in London
are wearing gem ring cigaret hold
ers. It's the very latest wrinkle. The
rings are advertised in British mag
azines as made by his majesty's own
jeweler. You have to be aristocratic
or piutocratic to wear one, because
they cost from $3.50 to $500 a piece.
The rings are gold or platinum set
with precious stones. You press a
tiny catch on the side and up springs
dainty metal finger with a circlet
at the end through which you insert
your cigaret and then puff away.
The women wear the rings on their
fore fingers. The holder; according
to the advertisements. prevents mic
otine from eoloring the fingers.

Tough luck!
IBachelorhood is Epidemic.
Thomas Boyd Dysart comes of
family in which bachelorhood is a
sort of epidemic. He has two
brothers and they are also bachelors.
Al few years ago he visited the old
home in Ohio, where Count of the
men cousins in the family was
made and nine of them were found
to be bachelors
One of his bachelor brothers,
1chn, is associated with him in the
practice of law here in Omaha. The
other, Rev. William Edmond Dysart,
Is minister at Chambers, Neb.
Came West With Parents,
Thomas was born in Ohio, came
west with his parents and finally
settled on farm, five miles from
Superior in Nuckolls county, Ne
braska.
He walked two and one-half miles
t6sthe district school, then went to
high school and finally to the Uni
-sersity of Michigan, where, in due
time, he graduated from the law
course.
He hung out his "shingle" in Mel
son, Neb., at first, but in 1900, Oh
Valentines day, he came to Omaha,
where he has been since.
He and his bachelor brother live
-ogether. What hobbies has he? He
shakes his head at mention of golf,
motoring tennis, the theater, but
says he teaches law class at the
University Of Omaha.
Likes SWimmln POOL.
Urged for further information. he
admits he is member of the Omaha
Athletic club and likes to go over
and do Annette Kellermann stunts
in the swimnlin' pool. And he
dances, too.
Lodges are one of his pripcipal1
forms of diversion and he has risen
to lofty heights in several of these.

Our New Cow.

A week ago my father thought we ought
to have a CIV.
Said he: She'll be a bother but I'll get
one anyhow;
She'll furnish US with milk and cream and
good fresh butter too,
And we can sell the surplus milk--that's
just what we can do"
who'll milk this cow?" my mother
asked. II WILL" my father said.
Next day q farmer brought a COW and
tied her in the shed.
That night my father took q pail to milk
old Boss. Said he:
IT used to do this years ago; just keep
your eve on me-.
He went and borrowed from the Smiths
little milking stool.
And then he led the COW outside to keep
her calm and cool.
"Ah, hat he said, Now, here we go! I
like this job, by heck!"
Just then the cows hind hoof flew out

Were you ever out on the placid
bosom of lake, gliding along in
an excursion steamboat, with a
young, woman at your side? And
did the pale moonbeams kiss the
waters with simmer of soft
light? OF course, it may have been
a cloudy night, but then it sounds
nicer to refer to the pale moon
beams and their soft light. 1t is
merely poetic. And were you
ensconced in a deck seat with a
capacity for one and one-half per-
sons? And did the conversation
drift into little condolences which
make Dan Cupid sit up and take
notice?
That is getting ahead of the
story. This morning we present a
picture of J. E. Davidson, as he
was picturized about the time he
decided that it is not good for man
tot be alone. Mr.. Davidson is vice
president and general manager OF
the Nebraska Power -companw,
prominently identified with the
local chapter OF the AMERICAN Ncu
Cross and on the directory of sew
eral Omaha organizations and n
stitutions.
Worked in Overall Factory.
He was born in Flint, Mich, and
moved to Port Huron, Mich. at an
early age. In the latter city he
learned his three RS and a. lot
about electricity and other things.
His first job was in an overall fac
tory and at the age of % he was
holding a responsible position in a
power plant.
At the foot of Lake Huron was
summer resort where July 4th eel
ebration was held along about the
time that the accompanying picture
was taken. Mr.. Davidson went out
to this resort to celebrate: He OBJ
served a young woman helping a
boy who was trying to light fire.
