When Rev. Edwin H. jerks, pas

posed to her father. He started out
one day So years ago, in Deansboro,
N. Y to declare his intentions to bis

lied what he was doing, he inter-
viewed her father. He said SO him

whom he had selected was not en-

capitulated and then the groom-elect
made bold to inform his best girl

Capt. Sam Jones, Omahan, re-
Gently appointed as commandant of
the Old Soldiers home at Grand

ger agent of the Union Pacific, with
offices In this city, many years ago.
The captains office was "a rem
devious for the local news gather
ers, and the captain always had his
weather eye out for an item or a
story for the scribes.
For a period of years a notable
triumvirate of journalistic contem-
poraries were Col. William Light
foot Visscher, Alfred Sorenson and
Ike Miner. Visscher afterwards
gained prominence as a poet, Soren-
son is now editor of weekly paper,
and Miner is secretary of the Omaha
lodge of. Elks.
These reporters were the best
bunch of fellows knew in those
days." related the captain, remin-
iscently. What they didn't know
of affairs around here, wasn't worth
knowing.
II Remember that one morning
when they happened to meet in my
office, Visscher was not in his usual
happy state. of mind. rnoticed that
there was something on his mind,

Belgian Hares Will
Not Eat >Baled Hay;
Owner Is Worried

Henry Robinson, Twenty-ffth and
Washington streets, is learning a
few things about Belgian hares. He
bought a dozen of these little ami
mails last week and his first thought
was TO see that they were literally
supplied with food. He did not
know just what forms of edibles
would appeal to the hares, so he be-
gan his experiment by placing bale
of hay and bushel of wheat where
his pets could help themselves. The
hares, however, would not touch
either the hay or the wheat
He declares that if he can not sat
isfy the dietary whims q, these hares
before long, he will kill them for
Sunday dinner.

There's Burma girl a-settin', an

-KipliuR.

Don't imagine any sentiment like
that in the heart of Dwight Cramer,
girls. He probably knew some
Burma girls but not in that way.
And there isn't one waiting for him
on there in the far east, he says.
Dwight spent about eight years in
India, in Burma. He's an Omaha
boy, graduate Of the University OF
Nebraska and an engineer. He has
had a life, so far, that is far out of
the ordinary run of humdrum lives.
Soon after he graduated from the
Uni" he went out to India as one
of those adventurous souls who
penetrate the furthermost corners
of the earth in quest of the things
that civilization needs.
Lived in Mandalay.
Most of this time, Dwight has been
! delying in the earth for tungsten
andtin.> He hasn't done the delving
himself, He had hundreds of coolies
to do that. Tie greater number of
I his mining operations were in Bur-
ma and he lived in Maudalay for
several years.
ION the road to Mandalay,
Where the flynn fishes play
An. the dawn comes up like thunder
outer China 'crost the Bay"
So sang Kiphng's soldier, home
sick for sunny Burma after a win
ter in London. But Dwight doesn't
altogether endorse the sentiments.
He likes Omaha. He's been home
from India now for a year and ex-
poets to stay good while longer.
Mandalay doesn't mean romance
to him so much as it means blast
furnaces. Burma isn't so much adj
venture as it is tungsten and tin.
Has Strange Companion.
While he was out there he lived
at mine in the depths of the jungle
where he didn't see white woman
for two years. About his only COM
panion was a pet gibbon. And he
had stolid Mandrassi servant and
q cook named Mg Thet Shay or
sMr. Long Life
1t wasn't all hard worEfor Dwight
away off there in Burma. He can
tell hunting stories that make you
envious if he wants to. He has some,
kodak pictures. One shows him
standing by the side of 'lis first tiger.
Think of that! my first tiger" Do
you know anybody else that ever

a chance to breath again, have him
exclaim in wondering accents:
''Why, l forgot to turn the film that

But after all, kodaking is an es-
sential industry, just the same as
writing poetry and, fishing. Shop
windows are filled with cameras
waiting to be bought, and photo
albums waiting to be filled.
And where would all the ex-
n1unition workers find employment,
if not in some camera factory pre-
pairing for the spring kodak drive?
And how would the great American
home entertain without a kodak
album? Impossible!
So let kodaking go on!

you think Of spring, and blossoms
on the cherry tree, and that trip you
took last summer. And the first
thing you know you'll be busting off
the photo album, aid oiling Up the
old twin-six camera.
Just as marble game heralds
the approach of spring, so the APP

cant eyed individuals, who wander
mystcriously about, casting anxious
chances at the sun, is sure sign that
it has arrived.

War has been great handicap to
kodakers. There always seemed to
be some businesslike soldier stand

wanted to snap, especially if it hap
pehed to be- balloon, or a cannon,
or new depth bomb.
In fact, these businesslike SOL
diers often became aggressive, even
to the extent of asking you to ac-

some such person. OF course any
kodaker would be glad to meet
general, even take his picture, but

unpleasant, inquiring about where
