Mothers Pension.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
wrote to you about week ago and
you did not answer, so will try
again. I have a dear friend who
lost her husband and she is left with
small baby. Could you please tell
me where we will go to see about
widows pension, as she surely
needs help. Thanking you in ad-
vance I will look for an answer.
A SUBSCRIBER.
Your letter was answered, or at
least one asking the same question.
There Is a state law providing a
pension for mothers. You should
see Judge A. c. Troup of this city,
who was located in the court house
before the fire. Call up the court
house, or his residence, and find
out where his Office is located.

Rare Rudeness.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee
We are asking your advice, for we
are undecided about whether some
things are proper or not. We are
twin girls of 18 years and enjoy
having good times. We were taken
to a neighboring town one evening
to dance by couple of young
men from our home town. When
we arrived they did not care to
dance. so by their request we went
in the hall. When time for supper
they did not come for us, 80
two boys we were well acquainted
with from that town took us to sup
per. After supper we went back
to the hall, not seeing the other
boys we had come with. Was this
the proper thing to do? When time
to go home they did not appear at
the dance. Had we ought to come
home with the boys we came with
or the boys we went to supper
with, as they had asked us? We
would like to see this in print.
TWINS.
the boys who took you to the
dance and then refused to go into
the hall were exceedingly rude.
think you should have asked them
to take you home at that point. A
girl with any pride would have been
greatly embarrassed over the eve
ning's procedure. You should have
returned homo with the boys who
took you to the dance.
Milly-You should go to your doc
tor for q prescription regarding your
weight. There are so many fads
nowadays that one has to use clear
discrimination in matters pertaining
to health. Plenty Of rest, good food,
exercise and free drinking of water
are calculated to develop ones
health. There is no denying that
certain foods are more fattening
than others-milk. sugar and pota-
toes, for example. The milk choc-
olates are good food, but should not
be eaten between meals. Dancing
is good exercise in itself, but is often
detrimental in that it robs syoung
people of much needed sleep. The
old-fashioned waltz is again in
vogue. Your grammar and pen
manship are very good. Consult a
business college about getting work
in penmanship. Good writing is an
asset to a bookkeeper.

FIGURE IN SAVANT'S THEORY

On little shellfish. several specimens

Of Natural Sciences in this city. which
are called molluSks and which are about

depends the proof of the existence of
5000 mile "lost continent" extending
between South America and Hawaii.
When taken from their tiny box and
displayed by Prof. II. A. Pillsbry.
curator of the department of mollusks at
the academy, they looked absurdlv small
to count for so much in the world of
science, but he vouches for their i'm
portance.
Professor William Alanson Bryan.
professor of zoology and geology at the
college of Hawaii, announced recently
the probable discovery of a prehistoric
ridge of land between that island and
the mainland of South America by
means of the finding of mollusks in
Argentina. on the small island of Fer
nandez, 400 miles out, and on iawau.
In his statement Professor Bryan
mentioned having had his attention first
called to the matter by observing spec
linens of molluks in the Philadelphia
Academy of Natural Sciences. He is
now on another expedition to find
added proofs of his new theory of the
lost continent.
Professor Pillsbry remembered the
visit of Professor Bryan here and his
researches in the academy, and char
acterized him as very capable man
and a noted authority"
The mollusks. according TO Profess
sor Pillsbry, live on trees in the high
lands. They cannot swim and cannot
even live in water. Because of this
fact and also that they are too heavy
to be blown, the similarity between
specimens found 5000 miles apart is
considered proof that the lands were
once connected.
Those at the academy are only hol-
low shells. resembling very closely
snails, and only to be described in
color and marking as looking like col
lapsed peanuts.

The 1O-pcr cent above cost stores

FORMER POLICEMAN
ADMITS BIG THEFT
Harry Hassell, on Witness
Stand, Confesses Railway
Warehouse Robbery
THREE HELD AS RECEIVERS

Confession was made ON the witness
stand in Central Station today by
Harry Hassell, formerly n policeman,
that he was member of band of
thieves who robbed a railroad freight
warehouse of $4,000 worth of goods and
sold the plunder for 5000.
Three men whom he accused of re
ceiving the stolen goods were held under
$1,000 bail each by Magistrate Me-
cleary for n further hearing next We'd
ncsday.
lIassell's admission is only one of a
series of confessions following the ar
rest a week ago of David Katz, a watch
man at the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad freight warehouse.
After Detective Curran of the rail
road police had arrested Katz and the
man had been held under $4,000 bail
for court, two men were arrested at
Second and Market streets and charged
with having on wagon a case con-
tanning $500 worth of goods stolen from
the warehouse. They were Harry Stan
ley, near Eighth and Brown streets, and
William Chairman, of Thirty first and
Arizona streets. They were held under
$4,000 bail each for trial.
The goods found in their wagon be-
longed to Jacob Maimon. dealer in
trousers, at 213 Church street.
Then Katz, the police say, confessed
to giving goods taken from the ware
house to Hassell, who lives at Thirty
first and Wharton streets and was
formerly a patrolman attached to the
Twentieth and Federal streets station
He was discharged some time ago for
disorderly conduct.
After Hassell was arrested and held
under $4,000 BAIL he in turn made q
confession, the police say, naming three
shoe dealers, Louis Clyman, 3034 York
street, Isidor Berman, 2244 Watkins
street, and Louis Forman, 1877 South
Twenty third street.
He asserted that the shoe dealers
had agreed to buy whatever was stolen
from the warehouse and that they had
paid him 5000 for $4,000 worth OF
plunder.
The police say that when they
searched the house occupied by Clyman
they found a case Of silverware and Il
quantity of merchandise which had
been stolen from the warehouse.
At Berman's house. the police say,
they found a lot of toys and at For
mans place some merchandise.
