USHOP TELLS HOW | 0 WIN 0. AMERICA Prelate of Methodist Episcopal Church Advises Business Men of Rich Territory. AND LEARN PORTUGUESE Get ‘the fever out of your system, i) and learn Portuguese. i That is what you will have to do Lif you would get some of South fi America’s trade. '\ Bishop Homer C. Stuntz, lately of | South - America, now bishop of the ethodist Episcopal church of Ne- LBraska; told the business men so at a ncheon at the Commercial club at oon. Bishop Stuntz doesn’t like to calll Inyone “ignorant.” So he simply savs, | here is an_unfathomable unfamil- farity with South American condi- ions among our business men.” “People ask me how I like preach- ling to ‘those Spaniards. I tell them [ ddon’t know, for I seldom see a Span- Miard. The people down there are of Portuguese, Indian, Italian, German, watndinavian and Spanish _blood. They are a nfixed people, mixed as badly as we are, and we are badly mixed. “Business men in America think €y are making big strides when they write letters in bad Spanish, or get out catalogues and literature in Spanish and flood South America with them. “Why, bless you, there are 20,000,- 000 people in South America that know no more Spanish than you peo- #iple do. Most of the people down | "there speak Portuguese, and .only a " small part of them speak Spanish. “Brazil with?its small population has'9,7 per cent greater foreign trade than Japan, and Japan has 60,000,000 poputlation. So if you are anxibus to £ get Japanese trade, you should be tert times as anxious to get Brazilian trade.” Never Wore Rubbers. The speaker said that only a year ago the people of Buenos Ayres learned to wear rubbers. He said he saw a whole shipload of rubbers come in there and sell in a short time. “The people didn’t know how to put them on. They tied them on with strings and everything else,” he said, “but now they all wear rubbers.” This he gave merely as one example he great field that lies there ?or commerce if Americans will only go after the business and teach the peo- ple to use our goods. He told of a young salesman who went down there to sell all kinds of iron piping. He went there on a salary of $200 a month and commis- ion above a certain maximum. “That iellow sold so much piping that in a short time: his salary and commission _amounted to $18,000 a year, and he was ‘standing -at the docks wringing his hands because the ships could not bring the piping fast enough to sup- ply the demand of his customers.” A.N. Yost, Pioneer, | . Is Called by Reaper Absalom N. Yost, one of the oldest pioneers of Nebraska, died at 12:30 noon at his home, 3207 Corby street. He was over 80 years of age. Mr. Yost camc to this city when Omtaha was little more than a hillock on _the rolling plains of Nebraska. He was. one of those who foresaw the great future of Nebraska and watched Omaha in its progress from a strug- gling village to a thriving state me- tropolis. Mr. Yost was one of the oldest members. of the Douglas County Pio- neers, and until this summer was al- ays an active participant in all of ¢ society’s activities. This summer N 1®) health began to fail and he kept growing weaker until the end came. *Mr. Yost is survived by his wife, P three sons—Rev. J. S.

AN ANCIENT TEST FOR ALE 3 How an Imposing Functionary Per- formed His Task with Leather Breeches. The familiar mark “X,” “XX” and “XXX"” on English ale and beer kegs gve been used for several hundred yrs. Although nowadays the marks mdicate the alcoholic strength of the brew, they originated® in the monas- terfes in the fifteenth century. The sigh of the cross suggested the orig- inal mark. Two or three hundred years ago the most elaborate precautions were taken in order that the fitness of ale might be insured. The official sugar- seeker was an important personage, and the most important feature of him was the pair of leather breeches he wore. They were indispensable in his work, if we are to credit the chrpnicles of the time. This officer appears to have gone about his task of testing ale in the following man- er: \Unannounced and unexpectedly he puld enter an inn, draw himself a ss of ale, paur it on a wooden ch and proceed to seat himself in ttle pool he had thus made. Here would .remain for half an hour by clock. He was quite willing to erse, smoke and drink with all, W he was ‘most careful not to shift his position” in -the pool of liquor. jWhen the half hour had expired the sugar-secker would rise. This was the test of the ale, for were it impure— had ‘it Sugar in it—the tester's leather breeches would stick to the bench. O e et kol B cond Son is Born to Mr. and Mrs. Ty Cobb Augusta, Ga,, Sept. 29.—A son was born here last night to Mr. and Mrs. yrus Cobb. They now have two boyssand a girl, ' {who persists in following after the chor iction. THE ROMANCE OF THE MARTIN CONNOR. By Oswald Kendall. Boston. | Houghton-Mifflin Company. $1.35. | The story of an American tramp | steamer that sailed from Galveston to the head waters of the Amazon on business connected with rubber im- portations, of the many adventures and disaster that befell its company on the wav, of their extraordinary ex- periences in the upper regions of the Amazon, and of the final safe return and unexpected cargo of drift gold. The great merit of the story is its marvelous descriptive power, while the telling has a ceftain vein of grim humor that is very attractive. OUR DAVIE PEPPER. By Margaret Sld- | ney. Boston. Lothrop, Lee & Shepard. $1.50. More than a million copies of the various “Pepper books” have been sold and, unaffected by competition, they reach higher figures each year. Each of the Pepper children except- ing Davie, the third boy and one of the dearest of all the children, has previously been honored by appearing | in the title of the book, and now it is Davie’s turn. He is well paid for wait- ing, for the t ook is ofie of the bright- est and sweetest of all the “Pepper books,” high praise as that may be. The character drawing is some of the | author’s best work, and her rich hu- | mor, which never for a moment lets | a serious situation become gloomy, | helps to make up a book of wonder- | ful charm. NOBODY'S8 BOY. By Hector Malot. New York. Cupples & Leon Co. $1.%6. “Nobody’s Boy” is Hector Malot’s masterpiece, “Sans Famille,” which was crowned in its early Popularity as a literary classic by L'Academie Francaise, The hon.cless boy's ex- perience is a human document that grips the ‘iterest of young and old, and is justly known as one of the supreme heart interest stories of the world—an ennobling example of boy character. TOP-OF-THE-WORLD STORIES, By Emille and Laura Poulsson. Boston. Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co. These stories of magic and adven- ture come from the countries at the “top of the world” and will transport thither in fancy the children who read this unusual book. They tell of Lapps and reindeer, (even a golden-horned reindeer!), of prince and herd boy, ! of knights and wolves and trolls, of a boy who could not be hungry and merry at the same time, of all these and more besides. This book is not intended for the little children with whom Miss Poulsson’s nursery and kindergarten books are so justly pop- ular, but for boys and girls of 10 or more | PROFIT AND LOSS. By Amella E. Barr. New York. D. Appleton & Co. $1.30, This the story of Jan Kelder, things 'of the world despite his moth- er’s hope that he become a minister. The loss of the girl to whom he was engaged hardens Jan, and from that moment he becomes involved in money affairs only. The story is one' of the most genuinely human Mrs, Barr has written. - It is not in any sense a preachment,a nd Jansen Kel- der, the hero, may be found in any community where ambitious young men hope to make their personality a factor. s ARCHER AND THE “PROPHET.” By Bdna A. Brown, New York. Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co. $1.20. The best test of a book for children is whether it can interest older read- ers in its plot and character drawing. “Archer and the ‘Prophet’” meets this test. Archer has already appeared, at a much younger age, as “Arnold's Lit- tle Brother,” and is now a senior at the same school, St. Stephens. Like the author’s previous book, it is very different from he usual school story, and therein lies its great strength. The “Prophet” is a nickname given to an outside boy whom good-hearted Archer befriends, and around whom so 1e of the strongest scenes in the story revolve. MR. BRITLING BEES IT THROUGH. By H. G. Wells. New York. The:Macmillan Company. $1.50. It could hardly be doubted that some novelist would write a great war story. And what is more logical than that it should be H. G. Wells? “Mr. Britling Sees It Through” is a, work of profound interest and appeal which seeks to show what the gigan-| tic conflict means to those who are| in the midst of it. It is not a tale of terrible conditions at the front, of the horrors of actual warfare, but is something deeper in its analysis of life than that. It is as dramatic and fascinating a book as any Mr. Wells has written, a book of varied incident and striking characters. LITTLE BILLY ® Blackmore Stapp. New York. George H. Doran Company. $1.00. | Miss Betty was a reporter for the Evening Sun. But she found time to mother and befriend little Billy Bow- | legs, a red-headed newsboy, and his bosom friends, Pete, Skinny an Jake. Here is a tender, winning, lov able little story of the close compan- | ionship between a group of happy ragamuffins and a warm-hearted woman writer. THE WORN DOOKSTEP. By Margaret Sherwood. Boston. Little, Brown & Co. $1.25 net. The great war has inspired few such appealing stories as this narra- tive, which is addressed to the dead lover of the Good Samaritan heroine, | and which is an inspiration to every | reader. The events such as the lov- er's death, the way t’ ey had become acquainted, their circumstances in| life, are set forth with skill and deli- | cacy, but the simple appealing story | deals principally with the house, a| charming old English cottage, and the hospitality the narrator dispenses to the wayfarers, who are usually Bel- | gian refugees. | THE RANGE BOSS. By Charles Alden | LEGS. By Emille Seltzer. Chieago. A. C. McClurg & Co. | . $1.30. A novel of the west western, a thrill with swift. adventure, a-bloom with charming romance, a-throb with the joy of open-air living—that is “The Range Boss.” Not in many years has there been published a western novel that is so wholly worth while and so completely enjoyable. f CLOVER AND BLUE GRASS. By Eliza| E:lve,rll.:lnll Boston. Little, Brown & ' This new volume of Ilentucky stor- ies contains the nincteenth and last “Aunt Jane” story, “How Parson Page Went to the Circus,” which takes us back to Goshen and the old- time' folk of that neighborhood. | “Mary Crawford's Chart” and “Old THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, Mahogany" show us the Goshen of a later day than Aunt Jane's, and in all the stories there is the vivid charac- ter drawing and the charm of familiar things and simple incidents that have made “Aunt Jane of Kentucky” so universally popular. MISS THEODOSIA'S HEARTSTRINGS. By Aunte Hamliton Donnell. Boston, Lit- tle, Brown & Co. $1.00. Miss Theodosia Baxter ,wandered up and down the world for three years in search of something to inter- est her, only to come home and find it on the upper step of her own front porch. What she found was a very much surprised child who was hold- ing a baby on the small area of her knees. How these youngsters reached the heart of the staid and travel-worn woman and eventually brought a ro- mance into her own life is set forth in Mrs. Donnell's characteristic style. No one who'loves children can resist this book; the little Flaggs are a con- stant delight. THE HERITAGE OF THE SIOUX. By B. :l. Bower. Boston. Little, Brown & Co. 1.88. Action and adventure there are a- plenty in this tale of the “Flying U” boys in New Mexico, in which a fake bank robbery for film purposes pre- cedes a real one for lust of gold; and the Happy Family, sworn in as depu- ty_sheriffs, follow a trail through miles and miles of arid desert in quest | of the robbers, only to encounter in- stcad a band of g;ighltned Navajo Indians who might have annihilated them if Luck Lindsay hadn't under- stood sign talk. It is a strong emo- tional story that will appeal to this favorite author's many readers. DAVE PORTER AND HIS DOUBLE. By | Edward Stratemeyer. Boston. Lothrop Lee & Shepard. $1.25. Dave Porter is the most popular hero in any series of present-day high- grade books for boys. Each volume is a complete story in itself, though naturally continuing previous char- acters. In this, Dave, not for the first time, aids in untangling a mys- tery of great importance to a close friend, and is equal to every occa- sion. As younger boys enjoy reading of the adventure of older ones, this will suit a side range of readers, being of interest to all from 12 to 16, and even older. MR. WELDRIDGE OF THE BANK.

By Mar. garet Ashmun. New York. The Mac- Millan Co. $1.38 ; Isabel Carleton's senior year in high school is a very full year. Here it is all described—the parties, the picnics, the friendships, the sacrifices, the triumphs! From the ttme when as a “special favor” she is permitted to go the the “frat tea” to that glo- rious moment when the trip to Eu- rope, following the graduation, be- comes a wonderful reality, Isabel's days are crowded with excitement and happiness—shadowed only once by something which comes very near to the tragic, but is fortunately averted. THE CAB OF THE SLEEPING HORSE. By John Reed Scott. New York. G. P. | Putnam’s Sons. $1.36. From the moment of the discovery by the hero of the trampled roses and the cypher message in the driverless cab, the horse of which is slumber- ing, up to the end of the final page this story of diplomatic intrigue in Washington of today moves with never a halt.

The story deals in part with lega- | tion life in Peking, but mainly with ievents in the imperial palace and | among the people and beggars of Pe- king. A perfectly correct portrayal of that extraordinary character, the empress dowager, is given. While not an historical novel, the romance contains historical truths. The author is a niece of a former United States { minister to China and lived there with her aunt and uncle for two years. TO THE MINUTE. By Anna Katherine Green. New York. G. P. Putnam's Sons 1.00. ‘There are two stories in this vol- ume. The first, “To the Minute,” concerns a miser's hozcrd, a mysteri- ous house, a scheming villain, a charming heroine and a very capa- | ble hero.
