Joe Snow, died| eb. Since | LITTLE WILLIE HAS TIME CF HIS LIFE Half a Dollar and Samples [ Everything in Sight. EVERYBODY HAS GOOD TIME “Willie, if you eat another peanut, IT'll take you straight home!” | Thus spoke a mother to her child, !whom she took Saturday | Ak-Sar-Ben jubilee grounds. Soon | Willie disappeared for a few moments !and by the time mother and child met | brown emulsions known as a “ham- burger.” He was once more threat- ened with home. Into the maze Willie wandered. When parent and offspring again |came together he was mangling a “weinie” poultice, link by link. “If you eat another weinie, Willie, we will | start for home immediately,” said | mother, even more firmly. | . This performance continued well |into the evening, Willie disappearing at regular intervals and appearing in !the same manner with irregular viands. When last discovered he was faring on a light repast of cracker- jack and a bottle of red pop, interpo- lated with a large, adhergnt and suc- culent mass of bilious-looking taffy. Would Startle Fletcher. If old man Fletcher had passed | Willie's ruddy and beaming counten-! ance and chanced to behold the con- crete form in which he was stowing |away nourishment it would surely {have opened his Fletcher-ize. There are no rules of modern or gastronomic warfare governing what “a little child” with a half dollar can do in the way of carbohydrates. “We are going home, right now,” decided mother with visions of early- morning paregorical hours. “All right, Ma,” agreed Willie, as he mangled the last remaining link be- tween his molars and washed it down with a gulp of the red dye. “They ain’t got anything good to eat, any- waxv, an’ I'm hungry.” s they passed the tent of the fat girl she partook of a glass of butter- milk and a Graham wafer. However, she discarded half the wafer, and exclaimed to an attendant, “I mustn't eat so much, these heavy meals will start my indigestion again.” Weight Not Necessary. So, you see, while Willie didn't have the tonnage, he was nevertheless a much better engine of destruction, and the best physical exhibit of the two. “I got a three-legged stool,” said Dorothy, ‘aged 5 years, to May-Joe, the three-limbed artist. Following this remark May-Joe welcomed Doro- thy into the lodge, and clasped her hand in the secret grip. The human fish with, cannibal ferocity was tearing :sardines limb limb from limb, when Eph chanced to enter the enclosure. *‘Say, neigh- bor,” said Eph to the barker. “If you bring him up our way you won't have to seine no minnies, we got just oodles of a‘ngle worms most anywhere's we dig.” Napoleon Is Neutral. Speaking of fish, Prince Napoleon is very unlike the original Banaparte, to the! THE |as he is very fond of Bismarck, that }is Bismarck herring. Prince Nap often dines on a portion of Bismarck her- |ring, German-fried potatoes, sauer- kraut and noodle soup. "They can fight all over Europe, but they can't drive the German from my table,” manage- | Invades Jubilee Grounds With said Nap, as he folded his arms in the style of “Bonaparte crossing the Alps,” and thus violated his oath of |allegiance. Prince Napoleon is two feet high, and so is his appetite. | “What makes her wiggle like that, pa,” asked Albert of his father, as his parent fixed his eyes on La Belle Camel, or maybe it was Fatima. | “I don't know, son,” said father, |and bent further forward to see if he | could ascertain. “Her middle name should be Elgin,” muttered father, beneath his breath. | So, far into the evening, these little | bits of persiflage were pervaded by }lht minions of King Ak. Some were funny and some sad, some were brilliant and some were bad, but most of them were full of glee, as all should be at a jubilee. Gayety Has Snappy | | ! Frank Finney and his merry com- |pany of mirth and melody mixers | opened a carnival of their own yester- day at the Gayety theater, where they will hold forth until next Friday eve- ning. “Up and Down Town” is the name of Klr. Finney's new fun parade | offered for the delectation of Ak-Sar- | Ben visitors, “The Boston Bur- | lesquers,” as this aggregation is known, has a bevy of likely-looking maidens, a repertoire of catchy mu- sical numbers, a lot of fun of the right sort, and altogether the entertainment fits in acceptably with the fall festiv- ities. Mr. Finney is funny, but not fastid- ious. As Tim Sweeney, the street sweeper, he makes the most of a series of amusing situations. George S. Banks as a messenger boy, is an- other funmaker who ranks above the commonplace. In other leading roles {are Murray Bernard, J. P. Griffith, Ida Emerson, Emma Harris, Sam Lee, Al Shaw, Mae Holden, Florence Mills, Arthur Kelley and Eddie Brennan. An operatic uproar and a Shakes- pearean shakeup are two clever scenes which evoke considerable laughter. In the Shakespearean num- ber Mr. Finney appears as Nero in a most ludicrous manner. “When Uncle Sam Goes to War,” and a New York “rubber-neck” sight- seeing car, loaded with chorus girls are presented as features, Chief of Automobile Thief Gang to Prison Chicago, Oct. 1.—Earl Deer, found guilty by a jury as being at the head of a band of automobile thieves, was fined $1,000, and sentenced to serve a year in prison by Judge Sab- bath today. Greevy’s Lawn Will Be Filled Wth Flags Thursday An abundance of flags will be float- ing on the lawn of M, J. Greevy, Park avenue and Hickogy, Thursda afternoon. Mr. Greevy says he will fly his whole collection of bunting in honor of President Wilson, including the large flag that was a gift from President Taft and a number of streamers and pennants which he has received since. | Show for Ak-Sar-Ben BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, OCTOBER HAPPENINGS IN THE MAGIC CITY Campaign Pamphlets Received | at Hughes and Fairbanks Club Headquarters. | EAST SIDE IMPROVERS BUSY Another postal sack full of cam-| paign pamphlets and literature regard- {ing issues of the republican campaign was received yesterday at the head- | quarters of the Young Men's Hughes and Fairbanks club.

Beginning October 9, Omaha laun- dries will raise all bills 10 per cent. Instead of establishing a new scale of prices for different articles, 10 per cent will be added to each slip to cover the increased cost of laundry expenses. The Omaha Laundry Owners’ club announces this increase in an adver- tisement which sets forth statements that soap, machinery and other fea- tures of laundry operation have ad- vanced in price, reducing the margin of profits down to a mere shadow. A consoling feature of the situation is that the new prices will not be ef- fective until dfter Ak-Sar-Ben season shall have been concluded. Many of the village cut-ups have sent their white shirts to the laundry, anticipat- ing attendance at the grand ball. Paper collars, it is stated, may re- turn to their own again, “Will there be any increase in the price_of washing out dirt{ political linen?"” asked the Oldest Inhabitant, Ledther Requisitioned. London, Oct. 1.—~The g« cording to the Shoa and Ley has requisitioned all British so leather for military purposes. Five per cent Interest it is stated will be allowed on the purchase price of the leather requisi- tioned.

The people want food for thought and the more they learn of Hughes and Fairbanks and of broken democratic pledges, the more are they inclined to gclievc it is time for a change of national admin- istration,” continued the county chair- man.
