The perennial rag doll that appears
this year is made of any ribbed goods
-as a ribbed stocking-tinted pink.
1t is cut out by a pattern, sewed and
stuffed with cotton. The face and hair
are the result Of red, black and
white water color. The doll Is then
dressed up in blue cotton crepe and
a blue stocking cap.
A ball made from scraps of velvet
is fine gift for a very little boy. 1t
takes twelve pieces, measuring three
inches across at their widest part to
make it. They are sewed together,
leaving an opening for stuffing with
cotton, and the brighter the colors
used the better.

Five-Pound "Muskie'
Turns Out to Be Just
Ordinary Sucker

Charles A. Woodland, 23l0 South
Thirty-third street, was the hero"
of the summer colony at Wall Lake,
Ia, during a weekend with his
family, who are spending the sum-
mer In a cottage on the lake.
In company with Frank A. Well
man, South Side commission man,
who is also spending his vacation at
the lake, he spent Saturday after
noon fishing and secured the prize
fish of the season.
He verified his catch of a five
pound "muskie" by "Frenchy", the
camp iceman and supposedly an au-
thority on fish. After showing his
catch around the Omaha summer
guests and receiving their congratu-
lations he met an old resident of
the lake country who shattered his
hopes of winning the honor of max
ing the prize catch when he ex-
claimed:
HE'LL That's only a sucker"
With disgust written all over his
face the Omaha fisherman refused
to eat his catch and gave the spoils
to the first boy he met.

Then he takes your left leg and ties
it around your neck for a lavalliere
Then he twists your neckpiece into
a lovers knot and hattens you out
with a barrage of lknuckles. If
your wife amt a widow by this time,
the ostie looks the answer up in the
Marquis of Queensberry book and
starts in to make next years job
easier for the census takers.
If you are still running on one
cylinder, he figures that he must

Wings for Mrs. Vanderbilt.

Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt tells this
story on herself.

France during the recent misunder-
standing in that vicinity, and de-
voted considerable time to enter
tanning American soldiers in one of
the hostess houses. Being a cap
able dancer and attractive, she was
in much demand among the boys.
One evening she danced several
times with a tall, tow-haired dough-
boy who showed symptoms of great
loneliness and talked volubly about
things back in Michigan.

State Agents Sure
on the Job, Declares
Revenue Official

Clyde Bosse, Of the Internal
revenue department, is ready to
give the Nebraska state agents
credit for being on the job all the
time. During a recent visit to Lin
coin two representatives of Gus
Hyers crew arrested Clyde and it
not until a search was started in
the Lincoln police station that he
was allowed his freedom.
1t was hot and sultry day,
friends of the Omahan say, and
Bosse was standing on a street cor
nor with his coat over his arm.
Code books and other nces-ities of
his Office he carried on an inside
pocket of the coat and to the casual
observer appeared like bottle Ct
pint capacity.
The state agents approached Bosse
with the question, What are you
doing here?"
The innocent reply was, who
wants to know"
Lapels of two coats flashed back
and stars representing service in
the state body were shown. The
officers, confident of Bosse having
liquor concealed on his person re-
fused to listen to explanations and
hurried their amused prisoner to
Jail.
After a search the federal officer
was given the use of state auto.
mobile to convey him about the city
and was accompa MED by two apollo
getic state agents.

DR.. James H. Cloud Of St. Louis,
deaf mute, president of the National
Association of the Deaf, has little
patience with those people who still
persist in their belief that offsprings
Of deaf parents must of necessity
also be deaf. Children of such
parents are less apt to be deaf than
those of normal parents, he asserts.
To disprove this theory he told
the following tale while in this city
attending the seventh triennial con-
vention Of the state association.
A deaf divine was working among
the deaf of New York City. While
engaged in this work he met another

When an ostie g. abs your leg

know where to go when he got
dizzy. When you take pain to a
modern doctor, it's like going shop

If you take a pain and flat-wheel

get rid of it. It's just like taking a

striking is concerned, it is not to

would imagine a church, picketed
by the ministers union, awaiting
the strike breaking parson who is
escorted to the altar by police? The
situation, while rather far fetched,
nevertheless has possibilities which
have an urgent appeal to the mag

service that he might toss pebble
