Came From the Army.
The stationing of a regiment of
infantry at Fort Omaha is the prob
able cause of Sergeant PATSY"
Havey's appointment to the Omaha
police department He was ap-
pointed shortly after his discharge
from the army in 1887. His COM
pany was sent here from New York
or he might never have come to
Omaha.
Sergeant Havey is known as the
''humorist" of the force, and as
desk-sergeant at the city Jail, which
position he had for a number of
years, exhibited a wit and penchant
for practical jokes which are still
remembered among the veterans.
Just now he is assigned to Chief
Eberstein's office for special duty.
1t was as mounted policeman that
John Byrnes, day turnkey at the
city Jail, first saw service on the
force. Ills appointment dates PACK
81 years. He is past 90 years of age
and looks not more than 50.
Age doesn't seem to count for
much with these four veteran "cop-
pers", for they are on the job, rain
or shine, and performing their du-
ties as we'll as the youngest officer
on the force performs his.
None of them ever speaks of re-
firing and though the work of so
years may sometimes pail, they
are, like some of the prisoners they
have known, "in for life"

es and furnished apartments, and
adding to the shortage Of accomo-
dations. 1t is the high cost, not
only of food but of household goods
which causes people who ordinarily
keep house to live in furnished
places, getting their meals at restau-
rants or hotels.
Here are few illustrations: Tea
cups which the first year of the war
were sold in Paris department stores
for 10 cents now cost 90. Electric
globes which before the war were
10 cents now are so cents. The
cheapest iron bedstead, without
mattress or spring, costs 800 francs,

transportation Shortage.
There is also a shortage and con-
fusion in transportation, People
who raised their own potatoes in
Brittany during the summer are not
allowed to have them sent to Paris,
because the military laws forbid
transports of potatoes until the
quartermaster'S department has
formally decided it does not want
them. There is shortage of freight
cars, and yet a morning paper re-
ports that a whole train of them has
stood unused at Saint Cloud for
four years. Another paper reports
that at Dunkirk the French army
left lo cars of potatoes. standing I'M
covered to freeze the other night,
while the civilian population of Lille
lacks potatoes.
While Spain and the South of
France, to say nothing of Northern
Africa, are gorged with fruit, the
smallest tangerine oranges, such as
grow in any garden on the Rivera,
cost 10 cents apiece, and lemons
from Is to 20 cents. The other

Cannot Serve Butter
Legal restrictions pinch the hotel
guest and save money for the pro-
prietor. 1t is forbidden to serve
butter in any hotel, and as its price
is Z francs (nearly $l.50) a.
pound, the hotel proprieters find it
very easy to observe this law. It is
forbidden to serve rolls for break
fast, and each client has to buy his
own sugar according to card allow
ances, or half a pound a month.
Continental breakfasts" have al
ways been a derision and a joke to
the American traveller. II is now
reduced to a pot Of coffee and a
hunk of bresd-no butter, no eggs,
no sugar, no jam, and, after 9 in
the morning, no milk. There never
was any cream.)
The cost of meals in restaurants
has gone up even faster than hotel
rates. Il is now impossible to get
a meal, let alone q square one, even
in the most modest "bistro," or
haekman's hangout, for less than
five francs.

TELLS CHAPLAIN's STORY
Speaks at Private Opening of

The story of how the American f,ap

Gays after our entrance into the war wa.
confirmed yesterday by Col. r. r. Par

REGIMENT, who is in charge of the Ca.

Anderson Galleries.
speaking at the opening of the ex-
nloltion, Col. Parkinson remarked that II
might seem strange to some people that
the paintings OF the Canadian war artists
should be shown here before being ex-
hibited in the Dominion. He said, how
ever, that as ten thousand men from the
United States had volunteered in the
Canadian army the memorial was In a
large sense our own.

He was summoned to one cot by a look

that the United States was coming In,

It in my kit. To-day when we went

We know two boys who
almost came to blows when,
as a matter of fact, there
wasn't a single thing to
scrap about.
Harry kept insisting his
was a better suit because
his Ma bought it at our
Fifth Avenue Store-and of
course Fifth Avenue had
the best!
Teddy knew better be-
cause his Dad bought his
own as we'll as Teddy's
clothes at our 18TH St. Store
and there wasn't any,
body who could put it over
on his Dad.
Funny, boys are just like
some SrOWn-upS.
Every once-in-awhile we
hear of someone who imag-
ines prices are different at
our different stores.
Yet they all operate as
one; stocks are always in
Interchangeable.
Buy at whichever of our
four stores is most con-
venient; you'll find the
same quality, the same
variety, as we'll as identi-
cally the same prices,
wherever you drop in.
The only rivalry is as to
which store can give the
best service-and that's
good for any house!
Summer styles in every
thing men and boys wear
at all four stores.
