RAIN THIEVINCG BLOCKED Dealer Promises Court to Help Break it Up. BOYS GIVE THE JUDGE THE TIP Among Other Grave Problems for the Juvenile Comrt is an In One 1 Domestle Sclen C. A. Peterson of the Omaha Hay and Grain company told Judge Estelle in juven- fle court Baturday morning that he did not know the grain he had bought from smalil boys was stolen. Judge Estelle and the probation officers scoffed at the assertion and told Peterson that “if this is kept up, well put you out of business.” Peterson finally promised that he would help the court put an end to grain thefts of the kind and the court took his promise s sincere. Three small boys wers in court on the same matter, Thomas Dwyer, Edward Gross and Bennle Scllers. All were paroled. The Gross boy, who is colored, furnished some excitement however, and his father, a porter in a bank does not yet realize how near he himself came to going to jall for contempt of court. The boy was paroled to the custody of his mother, Mrs, Jennle Ward, divorced from her husband and remarried. The judge told Gross to leave the boy alone but in reaching the {m\md floor of The Bee bullding after' leaving the court the boy started on ahead and Gross after him. At Bixteenth street the father caught the boy who struggled. According to the lad's testimony later the father had one foot on his head and a knee on his stomach. A crowd gathered, a policeman seized Gross and rang for the wagon. Word had reached Judge Estelle that Groes was trying to “kidnap the boy,” and Probation Officer Carver was sent after him. Carver arrived just as Gross was being put In the wagon, where a razor was later discovered on the floor. Haled ‘back into court, Gross denled effort to get away with the boy and the court let him off with a lecture. Gross was profuse In talk of how much he cared for the lad, an affection which the boy does not reclprocate. Domestic Economy Problem. Next before the court was a proposition In domestic sclence, upon which he frowned. Willlam Lund wishes to go to housekeeping with his daughter, an 11-year- old girl, as the housekeeper. The girl is by the way not large for her age nor of robust health. Lund's wife is a resident of the hospital for the insane at Lincoln. Her sister, Mrs. 1 Coggons, some time ago agreed to take care of Lund's four children, the youngest a girll of 4 years. Lund promised 19 pay her $15 a month. He appeared in ounty court and had her appointed i rdlan. But Lund has defaulted on his yments and the Coggons, going to a Jjustice of the peace, secured a judgment for $13% on which, however, they are un- able to realizs. Now, Coggons, though a hard working man at the Cudahy packing plant, earns ut 315 a week and is unable to care for e thildrea without ald. He and his wife asked the court to make Lund come across, but this Judge Bstelle is not em- ppwered to do. Lund, who is angry at his sister-in-law, asked the children returned to him. Asked by the court what home he proposed for them, Lund declared: ‘“The oldest girl is blg enough to scrub floors and wash dishes and we could get along that way.” Finding that the court was not enthus- fastle, Lund offered “to hire a girk" The three older children, 11, § and 7 years of age, have been sent to the Deten- tion Home for the time belng. nishing a home and getting help and then will come Into court again with his plea The littlest girl will remain with her aunt The baby-replevin case of Justice Cald- well of South Omaha was finally disposed >t In juvenile court Saturday morning. “aldwell Issued the writ to the child's mother and the latter got the 4-year-old boy away from a Mrs. Burrows, with whom the court had placed him.

'The careless failure of an Emporia, Kan,, woman to get & legal separation from her husband has just cheated Owen Reoves, 77 years old, out of his fifteenth bride. Four- teen weddings and fourteen partings com- prise the domestic achlevements of Mr., Reeves, or “Speedy,” as he is called in Lebo, Kan, and, although several of his four and ten unions have ended inglori- oualy, he still regards marriage as a blis ful success. He is in the field for another lasted less than a week, but to hustie is Speedy’s matrimonial policy. “I have seen A man and woman kecp company for more than five years and then bust up,” said Reeves to four visitors. In the party were Charles F. Haigler, the ‘uml\r‘r magnate of Lebo; Grant Miller, a carpenter and photograpiier A. Torrance, editor of the Lebo Star “When a man decides he Hkes a woman he should pop the question right away. “The quicker you plow corn, the quicker you get your weeds out.’ ever once did 1 spark any woman more than five times. And as to sparking, it should never be done in the dark and in secrecy. Be straightforward and open. I have pro- posed several times right in company. Yes, marriage ls a great thing. Every man needs the companionship of & good woman and I'm going to have another one as soon us 1 can get her.” “What kind of a girl would you advise me to marry, Mr. Reeves?" asked a young man from Kansas City, who was the fourth in the visiting party. The ex-soldier and high private in the army of Cupid reflectively scratched his head, which still has a heavy growth of hair notwithstanding the fourteen mar- riages. “My boy,” he sald, “get a good, healthy German girl. They're the best kind. They are hardler in old age than other girls, and besides, they're good workers and take good care of a man. You want to hear about my life and my wives?"—Kan- sas City Star. NEW BODIES FOR OLD ONES the your Replacing Wornout Parta of Human Machine Becoming Possible. The family physician of the near future can be pictured In the mind's eye making out & worksheet for the guldance of the surgeons to accompany @ hypothetical pa- tient to the hospital, which might read womething llke this: “Amputate rheumatic right leg and graft on a new one. “Cut out kidneys, which are developing Bright's disease, and transplant sound ones, preferably from a healthy young hog. “Reverse circulation of the blood in the thyrold gland to produce hyperaemia and thus reduce diseased condition. “Overhaul the Intestines and patch where needed. The rest of him is hardly good enough to stand the expense of a new set. “Overhaul circulatory system, replacing unserviceable veins and arterles with new ones. Put in a new heart only if abeu- lutely necessary. “Cut out stomach. It is completely worn out and has & well-developed cancer. Be- sides, he won't have much use for ft bereafter, as it will take all his earnings for a long time to come to pay his hos- pital bl “Cut out left lung. It is so far gone with tuberculosis that it is good for nothing and only endangers the rest. “Trim off fifty or sixty pounds of fat. ‘With reduced stomach and lung capacity be can’t carry so much ballast. “Make all minor repairs needed to keep tim going for ten or twelve years more.” Nonsense, say you? Not a bit of it. Perhaps no ene man could stand it to have quite all these things done to him at one time, but the surgeons could do their part all right. They know they could, because they have already per- formed all these seemingly impossible feats and a great many more besides. Unbellevers may find at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York some living circumstantial evidence in support of these staggering assertions.— Technical World Magazine.

Reginald Wright Kauffman, telling of the various methods now being used to extrot money from the girl-who-thinks-she-has-a- voice, mentions @& number of amusing “methods” In the February number of Hampton's Magazine. He says: In Newark, N. J., not long ago, there was a clerk in & store who had never sung a note and never wanted to. She was a frail, pale girl upon whom there had early in life fallen the care of two smaller and fraller sisters, and she had no ambition beyond her duty to them. Nevertheless, the store's hours were long; the shop was poorly ven- tilated; the girl took cold and began to fear at last that she was going into what her friends called a decline. She went to & physiclan, who prescribed for her and then advised her to take singing lessons in order to develop her lungs. That 1s how, one day, she found herself in the net of a New York fakir. This woman was a blonde, who could not have welghed an ounce under 300 pound; “I do not really care to learn to sing, explained the little clerk, who faded into absolute zero in such a presence. “It is mostly for the breathing exercise that I came."

Naturally we are making this sale at an enormous sacrifice, but we have only the choice of two evils—either carry our new and modern stock over the season while business practically ceases in our store dur- ing rebuilding, or else clean it out quick in the time left us, at a de- termined sacrifice that will make all live people stop, Investigate, buy. We have chosen the latter alternative. It is our complete, regular stock we are selling at this immense reduction. Every article in the store is marked in plain figures and is yours for the asking at just ex- actly half the regular price. Remember, Monday Morning at 8 O’clock AT THE SIGN OF THE CROWN.

'Phomne: D, 17 Speedy Reeves felt the germ of love stir- ring in his heart again a few days asgo. ‘When the bubble of love burst he be- thought himselt of a certain charming woman he once had known in Emporia. Straightway he went to B. L. Traylor, cashier of the Lebo State bank, who s Reeve's confidant and correspondent, and directed Traylor to engross a tender note to the fair lady, Inviting her to be mistress of his two-rcom cottage near the depot, which he enjoys rent free through the kindness of Mr. Traylor, and his incoma, & pension of $15 monthly for serving wi the Ninety-seventh Illinois Infantry, Com- pany C, In the civil war. The lady read and capitulated—bless the weakness of woman's heart! A day or so Iater she answered the missive by calling in person on Rceves. Years had passed since he had last seen his flancee and the ripening infiuence of mellow age had added new charms to her face and figure. Reeves was enraptured. But, despite his entreatio the lady left him after a short vislt and returned to Emporia. Two days later ves recelved an enchanting note from asking bim in coyest terms to, call. called, first making purchases of ap- parel.
