An alleged swindle with dazzling
details of sudden wealth was nipped
in the nick of time and yesterday
Deputy County Attorney Ready pre-
pared a complaint charging w. G..
Kelly and Jay Miller with conspir-
acy to defraud and obtain money
under false pretenses.
Their alleged intended victim was
George Falman of Grand Island, a
young farmer. He barely escaped
the loss of $S,OO0 Falman came
into Omaha with a load of stock
Tuesday. After he had disposed of
it. he took trip up town and was
standing at Sixteenth and Farnam
streets, when stranger approached
him and started a conversation.
Eager to See Yards.
My, | haven't been down to
the stock yards for years." said the
stranger, who introduced himself
as Mr.. Kelly. 81 believe I'll just go
along down with you"
The farmer gladly welcomed this
company and the two men went to
the stock yards where Kelly rem
missed" about his own old farming
days down in Missouri.
In the afternoon the two men re-
turned up town and were walking
along Harvey street when they
found large pocketbook on the
sidewalk. Kelly picked it up. 1t
was full of papers and he said they
must take it to the police.
Asks for Pocketbook.
They started for the station and
were met by GREATNESS man who
wildly inquired;
Did you gentlemen find pocket
book here?"
Kelly said they had but he stood
for honesty and made the man de-
scribe the pocket book infinitely be-
tore he handed it over.
The gratitude of the new stranger
who said his name was Jay Miller
was touching. But both men re-
fused the $50 bill he offered them.
Wants to Pay Reward.
Il am determined to reward you
i'll some way" said Mr.. Miller
Lets go somewhere where we can
sit down and talk.

at the Sanford hotel, and thither

The president declared there was
no party politics in the treaty and
asserted that both the republican
and democratic national platforms in
1916 advocated such an arrangement
as the league of nations. SO at
Paris, he said, he had been obeying
both parties. He said he was glad
to get away from Washington,
where he heard politics until
sometimes I wish both parties were
smothered in their own gas"
The American people, said Mr..
Wilson, are to "see it through to the
end, and the end has not come yet"
If the United States keeps out of the
league, he declared, another war like
the last will come soon," but if it
went in ''it will never come" 1t was
a square cut issue, he said. whether
the United States will redeem its
pledges.
Refers to Notes.
For the first time since his speak
ing trip began, President Wilson re-
ferred to notes, having a small type
written sheet in his hand.
Mrs. Wilson sat near the president
at the luncheon and was on the plat
form at the Coliseum.
During the day many bouquets
were sent to her and tonight she pre-
scented them all to local hospital.

president, between armed isolation"
and peaceful partnership" He said
he had heard it asserted with "anoy-
ing ignorance that this league
would be a league for war.
Il wonder" he continued, "if
some of the gentlemen who are
commenting on this treaty have

How to Care for Gloves.


There are right and wrong ways Of
putting on gloves. The right way does
not injure them; the wrong way weak
ems and tears the skin or fabric In a
very short time. Black kid gloves
Should be kept in parnffin or oiled pa
per. A black glove is a white skin
painted. This paint will harden and
dry If not properly cared for. All
gloves should be kept away from salt
or damp air as much as possible. They
should be kept dry, but away from
heat. Time and great care should be
taken in putting them on the first
time. so that the seams may not be
stretched.
Mending the Gloves.
Use cotton thread for mending the
gloves, as silk thread will cut the kid.
Do not use the over and over stitch, as
tt always shows 80 plainly. Take n
stitch on one side OF the seam and
then a stitch on the opposite side, and
draw them together. This keeps the
regular seam intact and conceals the
fact that the glove is mended.
To Keep Evening Gloves Clean.
To keep evening gloves clean in
street car or train draw a pair of
loose white silk or Isle gloves over the
kid. The outer gloves may be easily
drawn Off and slipped into muff or
rocket.
Cut Off the hand part of long gloves.
