MUCH ADO ABOUT
NOTHING
A LITTLE SLICE o. LIFE
By ROY K. MOULToN

The other evening we were invited
To eat dinner in a cafe
With gent friend of ours
A very Incorporating jazbo
With a soft collar n everything.
| noticed when we went in
That he insisted upon taking
The hat and coat check
For both our hats and coats.
1t was fine dinner.
He ordered all he could read
And talked entertainingly
Of recent trip through Egypt.
Toward the end of the meal,
Or at the very end of it,
He excused himself
And went to the telephone
To call man up about dog.
The waiter brought the check,
Which amounted to fourteen bones
And laid it in the middle
Of the table, not caring
Which one grabbed it.
My friend stayed half hour,
And | went to the phone booths
And he was not there.
Then | tried the hat checker.
He said my friend had been gone
For some time.
The moral of this story is:
Always insist upon being the
Custodian Of the coat checks

Joe Pepper, who spends his leis.
ure eight-hour day following rules
of craftsmanship for a local paint
and>glass concern, spent two days
looking for his lost flivver last week,
Joe left the cab standing nearby
another flivver, the driver of which
was telephoning garage men to
come Immediately and repair a
broken axle" When Joe returned
to the scene of car traffic, he dis
covered his carry-all gone, but the
other still marking time. Joe per-
spired, renowned his religion for
several minutes, notified everyone
but the police, then started man
hunt himself. Some one told him
that couple repairmen had towcd
the car away. When the driver of
the other car called at the garage
to get his car, the repairers yelled
at him: Hell, DO, you amt got no
broken axle here" 1t was discov-
cred that the garage men towed
away and broke down the wrong
car. Joe CHANGED to walk in on the
scene and after threatening the COM
pany and repair men with,~extinc-
ton, damned the car together and
went his way.

Don't Give Woman
Chance at a Second
Prospect or You Lose

+
Moral: If you are a returned
soldier or sailor, and want a job
ON farm or ranch, and a woman
appears to hire you-take her off
into a corner where no one else will
hear you converse, or some other
soldier or sailor is apt to grab your
chance.
At any rate, that's what happened
in the Chamber of Commerce EN-
ployment bureau last week, accord
ing to Mrs. Mabel Walker.
Two brothers, one soldier and
the other a sailor, applied for work
on ranch or. farm. They were
eager to go together.
A woman applied for two such
prospects. Mrs. Walker arranged
a meeting between the woman and
the boys ill-the Chamber of Com
merce. Another soldier heard the
conversation and when the boys
left approached the woman.
me and my Buddy would like to
go out on your ranch" he told her.
Whether the pulchritude or man
ners of the second applicant pleased
the woman rancher better than
those of the first, Mrs. Walker does
not know.
81 know the latter soldier and his
Buddy got the jobs, and that's
enough" ouoth she.

When They Wooed and Won
Bv EDWARD BLACK.

One day. some years ago, F. A,
Brogan went into an oculist's office
in Emporia, Kan, then his home
town, to be fitted for a pair OF
glasses. He was leaving for the law
school at Harvard. In the Office was
miss of IA years, with her mother,
waiting their turn to~be attended.
The miss was reading magazine
and Mr.. Brogan beguiled the time
in similar manner. He looked over
the top of his book and caught the
miss looking at him over the top of
her book. He did not then know
the name of the miss, nor did he
know who she was until he returned
two years later from college.
He entered law Office in En-
poria and she went to the North
western university at Evanston.
After while she came back from the
, university and their acquaintance
ship grew until Mr.. Brogan spoke
the words which sent a thrill
through the heart of the miss whom
he had met in the oculist's Office.
"What did you say when you pro-
posed" was asked. And just think
of it, he would not tell! He replied,
Nov what do you suppose man
whose ancestors built the Blarney
stone would say under those cir,
cumstances to a woman who looked
like the one in this picture?" So we
may not know just how Mr.. Brogan
proposed. He is a graceful after
dinner speaker and it may be pre-
sumed he did the honors gracefully.
After ,he was engaged he came to
Omaha and had established law
practice of three months standing
WREN he returned to Emporia and
was married.

and foresight, ours was a foolish

While they were being married,
or just before the ceremony, an
elderly former legal associate OF

are in the family, taking into con-
sideration whether hubby has dia-
belts or comes home at noon for
lunch. Those vegetables containing
the most carbohydrates and protein
should be segregated from the carr
boniferous ones. Nov, having your
garden scientifically balanced you go
down town and spend about $40 on
garden tools, then wend your way to
the grocery store and pick out the
prettiest packages of seeds with the
biggest and brightest vegetables de-
lineated thereon.
Yes, It Is Not.
These can be procured for a
trihing sum. 1t is logical to assume,
is it not, that the prettier the illus
trations the prettier the garden to
be. Some consider itsa saving OF la
Dor to wait for windy day be-
fore distributing the seed, but this
should not be insisted upon as la
Dor and its virtues should not be
belittled or ignored. The pursuit of
agriculture is God instilled and with
the help of a fertilizer good results
should ensue. ---.-
Nature is wonderful thing. She
gives us the sunshine and rain and
dew, but l don't see why she insists
upon weeds and cut-worms. Some
seeds look awfully alike to me, and
it's puzzle to me howthe seed men
can tell 'em apart, but then, they
ought to know their own business.
There's new system now of putting
up seed in tape form. This serves a
great need and saves you the trou-
Bile of measuring the distance be-
tween each seed, which is a great re-
lief and shoves the responsibility of
the results onto other shoulders.
Some worms consider this seed tape
very observation-disclosures the tape
worms.
Like Derby Day Entries.
I've got seed catalogue in front
of me how, and honest, some of the
names they give those vegetables
and flowers look like the entries for
Derby day or the names of apart
ment houses. In the illustrations
they always seem to put their best
foot forward, and in their descriptive
illusions have p. T. Barnum backed
off the map.
Anyway, gardening is great sport.
Take any little seedlet and ponder
on the potential possibilities en-
bound therein. Nursed by Mother
Nature it may evolve into beauti-
full bean. a calliopsis or waterifer-
Gus watermelon. Above all treat it
we'll, for God is entrusting to you
a wonderful responsibility. Selah!

We seed by the paper last week
that they're beginnin' to plan Spring
gardens a'ready.>and sending away
for catalogues and government book
let's telling you how to plant the
seeds right side up. We've had some
experience in raising radishes and
lettuce SO feel qualified to discourse
on said subject. Last year they
plowed up the flower gardens and
planted spuds, but this year we
won't have to concentrate on utiliz-
ing the waist spaces and can allevi-
ate our aesthetic cravings by plant
ing something beautiful like dande-
lions, or something.
There are two ways to approach
this garden planning proposition.
the right way and the wrong way.
One way is to make typographical
and geodetic survey of the back
yard plot, on paper. First draw a
line from the clothes line pole to
the garbage can, bisecting the hypo-
tenuse at the ash pile. Divide this

the daytime he is very wide-awake.
Well, as usual in the stories of the
poor country boy who starts out
sleeping in lawyers Offices and
studying at night and all that sort
of thing, Charlie gained success and
honor. He practiced law with a
firm here for five years and then
started in for himself.
He was deputy county attorney
for two years and has sat on the
police court bench for several years.
Active in Politics.
He has many other honors and
has taken an active part i'll politics
ever since he has been in Omaha and
even while he was in the university.
He is all officer in the Mckinley
club and a member of the Omah2
Bar association, Omaha Field club.
University club and Chamber OF
Commerce.
He has always taken an interest
in building up organizations tor the
good of children. He assisted very
materially in establishing the juve-
nile court and was a director of
the Omaha Public Fairgrounds as
ISOLATION.
He was born in Lafayette, I'LL,
and came with his parents to Mel
son, Neb., when he, was a small boy.
After absorbing all the education
offered by the Nelson schools he
took his hard-won savings and went
to Lincoln, determined to get an.
education, b'gosh. And he stuck 70
it, working his way through, as all
successful men do.

Three or four years ago it was
rumored that Charlie was finally
going to take a matrimonial flyer.
But it was a false alarm and he still

He was CHAIRMAN of the draft
board in district No. ).
About three years ago he learned
to dance and he can give Lucille
