THE OMAHA FAITHFUL HORSE I8 PUT ON PENSION But the Day Before He Retires He Performs Most Remarkable Stunt. GOES OVER HIS OLD ROUTE Ola Jim, one of the Union Pacifie's most faithful employes, has been slated | for retirement on pension and the chances ore that while Jim will not draw any money. from the pension fumd he will| 1ivé a life of ease during his remaining | yedre. JAm is 31 years old and has been con- | § tintiously in the employment of the Union | Pacific during the last ten years. Jim being a horse, he does not have to con- form to some of the conditions required | of men and women who go onto the com- | | pasy pension rolls. ! The retirement of Jim is mainly dus to | the fact that the work that he has been doing dquring the last ten years in the | future is going to be done by an automo- | K Bile. In the past Jim's work has been te haul the Union Pacific mall wagon between the headquarters building and the depots. Jim knows the details of his @uties as well as his driver, B4 Howk, as ovidenced by his performance Friday afternoon. | Jim's last mail délivery from the head- quarters bullding to the Union station, week days, is made at b6 o'clock In the afternocon. At least that is the time when he and his driver should leave the buflding. Friday afternoon he was at his pest of duty at the appointed hour to keep his date with his driver. The driver | was in the building and was not in a hurry, but Jim was. He remained at the curb until 585 o'clock, when he' seemed | to realise that he had to get started if he | gaught a 6:10 o'clock train to deliver his mall. Without waiting longer, in his he picked up the leather strap to was attached a ten-pound iron welght, turned around and down Dodge street, at a slow trot, started for the his weight and left for the stable down Beventh street, near the smelter. At the stable the hostler, knowing that when Jim should have fin- rk of the day, unhitched him fim fnto his stall, where he siven bis customary allowance. | the meantime Ed Howk, the driver, | gathered up his mail at the head- quarters, but when he emerged from the | bullding could not fin® Jim. He loaded the sacks onto a street car and at the | station learned that Jim had been there, | arriving and departing on schedule time. | Knowing the habits of the horse, Howk went to the stable, where he found the horwe, he apparently feeling that he had performed his duties and was entitled to e rest that followed.

Glass of Hot Water exolaimed the centennarian, | Before Breakfast a Splendid Habit Open slulces of the system each morning and wash away the polsonous, stagnant matter. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; split- ting headache, stuffy from a oold, foul tongus, nasty breath, acid stomach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a dalsy always by washing the polsons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morn- ing. We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoon- ful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous day's in- digestible waste, sour bile and polsonous toxine; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before putting more food tnto the stom- ach, The action of limestone phospate and hot water on an empty stomach Is won- derfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acldity and gives ome a splendid appe- tite for breakfast and it is sald to be but a little while until the roses besin to appear in the ocheeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, but is euf- ficlent to make anyone who is bothered ‘with biliousness, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of internal sanitation. Try it and you are assured that you will look better and fesl better in every way shortly.——Advertisement. ';Vuican Coke™" is the Sort of Fuel a WOMAN really LIKES to handle! Women like ‘‘Vulean Ooke'’ because it is absolutely clean, easy to handle, kindling very quickly, Men like it because it represents a smaller expenditure of money than hard coal. Think of a fuel that gives forth no smoke; having no clinkers; leaving very little ash; one that holds fire all night, and you have an idea of ‘‘Vuloan Coke.’’ It is a clever by-product, made from mixture of the proper sorts of coal; the results accomplished by it would have been deemed magic a century ago; today it's what we expect of science.
