Did He Expect Just
Grape Juice or Fluid
With More of a Kick ?

The magician, Murdoch, who mys-
titled the multitude at the Boyd
theater all last week. had one trick
which resulted almost in a tragedy
for one of the audience. 1t was on
Wednesday, night that the near
tragedy occurred.
Murdoch had a wonder bottle"
From it he poured any kind of drink
Excepting only those prohibited by
the law which went into effect May
Il, 1919 He asked the folks in the
audience to tell what they wanted
as he passed through the aisle with
a glass.
A man in the second row asked
for grape juice. Murdoch poured it
out and the man drank it, declaring
it to be excellent. A woman in the
fifth row asked for milk and it was
poured out and she drank it. So he
went on. He returned to the stage
finally, broke the bottle and took
from it live guinea pig.
AS he did this the man in the sec
oad row who had drunk the grape
juice seemed to be taken sick. He
clapped his handkerchief to his lips
and hastily left the theater.

John T. Dysart, Omaha attorney,
has married $50 women. Yet he is
a bachelor.
Here's how this paradox hap
pened:
He was county judge of Nuckolls
county, Nebraska, for four years and
he joined exactly $50 couples in the
bonds of matrimony in that time.
Yet he seemed to learn no useful
lesson from the $50 noble examples.
He has not been joined in the bonds
of matrimony himself, UP to date.
"They were all successful mar
riages, too" he says. Only one
ended in the divorce court so far as
| know"
He Came From Ohio.
John began his mundane career
in Monroe county, Ohio, back some
where around the time of the Phila-
delphia centennial. When he was
but year old his parents took
him and other family impedimenta
and moved to Syracuse, Neb.
After a years sojourn there they
moved to Nuckolls county, near
Superior, where John grew up on
the farm. He was barefoot boy
who herded the cows and later he
was the barefoot lad in blue over

The city directory and telephone

he bears the designation of United
States marshal for this district.
The accompanying picture de-
picts Tom at about the time he at
FAMED his majority, when he was
dreaming of becoming plutocratic
plumber, instead of puissant poll
.tician.
ii Toms parents knew a family by
sihe name of O'Connell in Ireland.
The Flynns and the O'Connells
came to the United States without
knowing of the movements or
Whereabouts of each other until
many years later and therein lies
the interest of the story. The Flynns
settled in Omaha and the O'Connells
located on a farm about 20 miles
east of Council Bluffs.
ia Same Old O'Connells.
ss The elder Flynns went to the
columbian exposition in Chicago in
1898, and through friends they
learned that the O'Connells had been
at the exposition two weeks before.
They did not know for a certainty
that this was the family that they
had known in Ireland. but they were
determined to look them up. When
they returned to Omaha they wrote
= letter, and then visits followed,
which proved that the O'Connells
were their old friends of other days
on Erin's Isle.
Tom accompanied his parents on
! visit to the O'Connell farm and he
discovered that among the family of
his parents friends was a young wo-
man whose charms were peculiarly
in keeping with the ideals he had
cherished for a long time. He
planned his campaign of attack upon
her heart by writing letters, sending
valentines on Valentines day, and
sotherwise showing his attentions.
Toms trips to the O'Connell farm
became more frequent and the
years, went by in pleasant ways for
this twain.

fore we were married, and I don't
