The Real Cause of
Most Bad Compilations

1t Is a stern fact that no truly beautiful
complexion ever came out of jars or
bottles the longer one uses cosmetics
the worse the complexion becomes. Skin,
to be healthy, must breathe. 1t also must
expel through the pores, its share of
the body's effete material. Creams
and powders clog the pores. interfering
both with elimination and breathing. If
be fewer self-ruined compilations. II they
would use ordinary mercolized wax in
stead of cosmetics, they would have nat
ural, healthy compilations. This re-
markable substance actually absorbs bad
skin, also unclogging the pores. Result:
The fresher, younger underskin is per-
mitted to breathe and to show ITSELF An
exquisite new complexion gradually peeps
out, one free from any appearance of arti-
ficiality. Get an ounce Of mercolized wax
at your druggists and try it. Apply
nightly like cold cream, for a week or so,
hing it off mornings.

outside the city limits, ,as also was
Lake and Vinton streets. Cab driv-
crs received we'll paid fees for driv-
ing parties Of sportive bloods to
scenes of cock-fghts, holiday fes-
rivals, sport contests and private
parties, held outside the limits of
the city for fear of probable moles-
tation from the two policemen then
keeping patrol only over the city.
Mr.. Moreafty tells interesting
stories of the cab and hack era in
Omaha, for with the passing of the
horse-drawn vehicles and the influx
of more speedy methods of trans
portation, has also passed the good
old days of sports.
Started at McShane's.
Jim McShane's livery stable that
stood at Fifteenth and Dodge
streets was a starting place of many
an enjoyable crowd of young bloods
en- their way to Brandeis grove,
Croft's place, Hills Hang-out,
Haskell's park or Joe Rolls home
on the outskirts of Omaha.
THE Drum" a saloon near the
old Boyd opera house, was a rem
devious of sporting promoters from
Portland, Ore, to Portland, Me-, it
will be rendered. The place was
run by David N. Miller, once sheriff
OF Douglas county.
'The House of Lords" saloon
next door to McShane's old stable.
was probably the most talked of
hang for cab drivers at that
time. Many a pioneer driver in
silk lat, long brass-adorned coat
and silk gloves, stood proudly at
the bar in "The House Of Lords"
while his master enjoyed an opera
at Boyd's.
Fatty Glemm's bar at Eleventh
and Douglas streets, is also remem-
bered as the scene Of many a good
time in those mellow days.
Unlike the present day taxicab
driver who, we find, is in the game
for rem6nerative returns only, the
old time hack driver had a way of
his own of transacting business.
Drinks Always in Order.
Liquor was in order day and
night. Consequently the hack was
a source of means to the inebriated
in getting home without making
the rounds of lamp posts. No tube
of communication from the cab to
the driver, as installed in taxicabs,
was in use for the passenger to give
warning to the driver about driving
fast" or where to stop" Incl
dentslly, 1nany an intoxicated be-
ing did limited damage by knocking
his fists on the glass doors to at
,traet the attention of the driver. If
it happened that the driver of such
a damaged hack was not of a do
cile disposition, il is remembered by /,
pioneers of those days that BLACK |
eyes, smacked lips and broken jaws"
were heard of.
IT a passenger of present day |
taXicab refuses to pay fare, he is |
given an additional ride free to a
police station. During the hack |
and cab era, such a passenger was
taken an indefinite number of miles
outside the city limits, probably |
close to some Indian reservation, |
and allowed a chance to explore |
the country between his "shove-off"
spot and Omaha.

liticians at all times of the wear
were known as earnest promoters
Of passing the liquor" to one an
other. Votes in those days weren't
exactly bought outright, but pleas
for them were made in some such
form as buying the drinks
"Bull Dog Tussles."
Betting at cock-fghts and bull
dog tussles was also popular pas
time. AS these affairs we're held out
side the city limits, hack drivers
were in demand for transportation.
So, with the cabs grown obsolete,
remembranccs of the era in which
they figured SO prominently are an
Aud Lang Syne' of the past.
No one remains to sing their re-
QUEEN but a few of the old-time
drivers, Jack Carney, John Everett
and Don Wallace known as
"Says-I. These alone of the old
time drivers live today to tell of
the passing of the hack.

underdogs of their day. Dressed in
appearance of Mexican generals.
While driving, their eyes were con-
tinually straight ahead. They look
ed neither left nor right, nor rec
ognized friend, nay not even a
relative, if perchance they passed
one while on duty.
Old time horsemen worked about
their masters stables from break
fast to, breakfast. Occasionally they
enjoyed in gaiety among their pals
at various "hang-outs," such as
The House Of Lords and The
Drum"
With the passing of the hack,
passed also the good times so much
talked about privately among the
pioneers living today. Picnics on
national holidays when the women
folks went home at 8 in the eve
ming were popular events--among
the men. Drinks supplemented
with spirits, were not lacking. Po-

NOTABLE ESSAY
WRITTEN BY Girl
IN ARMY CONTEST
Frances E. Gassaway of Hold
rege Neb., Submits Story Of
Jack Malone In Fiction
Form.

The first rule of writing is: Make
it interesting" and with that firmly
fixed in her mind. Frances Z. Gas
away, Holdrege (Neb.) school girl,
cast aside the rules of the rhetori-
clans that would make dry exposi-
tons or windy rgumentation OF her
essay, and in composing paper in
competition for the prize offered in
the army contest turned to the in
teresting narrative style and made it
a short story.
Frances stuck close to the rule
That he essays must deal with the
benefits OF enlisting in the United
States army, but instead of bastion-
ing her arguments with facts, she
wrote about fictitious soldier and
the benefits that came to him in the
service Jack Malone was her
hero's f1ame and the motives that
led him into the service and his ex-
periences there make up her essay.
Her contribution, which will be
considered with hundreds Of others
from school children in the Omaha
district, reads as follows:
Jack Malone's Story.
AT the beginning of then war
Jack Malone's conscience pricked
him, and partly on this account he
enlisted. He had other reasons,
however, such as the fact that his
fathers clerks were going, and
he did not wish to think that he, a
rich merchants son, should have
less honor than mere clerk.
q For this decision he was given
months training, passage on an
European-bound steamship, and "a
chance to lick the Hun
when he was discharged and
had gone home, people began to ask
him of the benefits he had derived
from his enlistment. He finally de-
cided to make out a list, which he
could learn by rtlemQry, and which
le would recite) when asked for
From his list were these articles:
