T SDROPPER GEIS ==RPULL OF GOSSIP *ightin Jots umwn a Few of the Short Sayings Just to Give You a Little Laugh. SOME TALK AS THEY WALK By A. R. GROH. Far be it from me to be an eaves- dropper. I hope I am too much of a gen'l'm'n for that. But— As one strolls along the streets among the crowds of people frag- ments of conversation are bound to reach one’s ears. You've noticed that. And so, just for fun, I jotted down a few fragments for the very laudable purpose of giving you a few moments of enjoyment. Fragment No. 1. “Well, we'll go out and see those two Iittle wrens to- night, will we?”’ This from one of two youths stationed in front of a cigar store. (“Stationed” is right. They're always there.) Fragment No. 2. “Why didn’t you go over while you was up there?” No. 3. “No, suh, she amn’t mar- ried!” This was uttered by one col- ored man to another. They were driving along in a one-horse, ram- shackle wagon at Fifteenth and Doug- }1:5 and spoke so loud that all could ear. Compliments Weather. No. 4. “This is quite like Califor- nia.” A middle-aged woman to her (apparent) husband. A compliment to our weather. No. 5. “He's a fine fellow; we've had lots of drinks together.” The dramatis personae here were two men at Sixteenth and Farnam. No. 6. “I think we'd better order five apiece.” This from two young men, walking rapidly down Farnam street. No. 7. “The things you've been _hearing about me certainly isn't true.” Thus spoke a woman to a man as the unintentional eavesdropper passed them at Fourteenth and Farnam. No. 8. “It isn’t what we need, it's what we want that keers us hustling.” A bit of {)hilosophica wisdom from the lips of a business man' you would probably know if I mentioned his name. {{e spoke te some other man as they walked west in front of the Omaha National bank building. Just Fine. “Just fine. How're you?” No. 10. “Don’t nag at him for ev- ery little thing he does.” Two women and a 6-year-old boy walking in front of the Burgess-Nash store. I calc’- lated it was the sister’ of the boy's mother who did the speaking. No. 11. “I don’t want to go out there an’ make a bad impression.” Two 16-year-old youths, giggling in front of the Beaton drug store and evidently discussing a first call at a house where lives a dear creature. No. 12. “Mamma was awful sick last night.” Two women, talking. No. 13. “It don’t seem like there's any justice any more.” Two men. 0. 14. “I wouldn't stand for it.” Two girls. No. 15. “She’s coming three days a week and that's all we can get her.” Two women evidently wrestling with the servant problem. No. 16. “Someone's attention should be called to it.” A couple of improvement-clubbers. That fis all for today, ladies and gentlemen. Thanking you, one and all, for your kind attention, I bid a kind good-night. Man and Wife Face White Slave Charge Charged with conspiracy to violate the Mann white slave law and also with its actual violation, Mr. and Mrs. Milford Baker, who motored here from San Francisco, were the central figures in a hearing yesterday before United States Commissioner Charles F. McLaughlin. Counsel for the woman and her husband moved a dismissal of the charges, claiming that the government had not established its case beyond a reasonable doubt. After lengthy arguments, the commissioner contin- ued the hearing until Monday to give steno- No. 9. him time to examine a graphic report of the evidence. Witnesses examined were: Kitty Harwood, 1513 Burt street; Charles Walker, proprietor of the Fontenelle garage; Cleo Cecil, 3314 Decatur street; Walter Jardine, one of the proprietors of the Hotel Edward; Malvin H. Hutchinson, a driver in the service of the Schlitz Taxi company; Jefferson R. Cooley, who operates a taxi stand at the Hotel Edward, and Marshall Eberstein of the Department of Justice. North Side Women Will Build New Club House Women of the north side have been bitten by those grow-with-growing- Omaha. bacilli. They are going to build a $15,000 clubhouse, a project which their men folk started a year ago. It will stand on three lots in Minne Lusa addition at the corner of Redick avenue and lorence boulevard. The site was given by Charles W. Martin. Ever- ett S, Dodds is the architect. The club will be finished by Janu- ary 15 if present plans mature. Ac- tive members will be those who buy shares in the club. Associate mem- ~bers will have to pay dues. All-year amusement is planned. A large dance hall, bowling alleys, dining room, billiard room and reception room will help to promote sociability. Mrs. Fred M. Crane is president of the women’s committee in charge. Mrs, A, L. Shantz is vice president; Mrs. A, P. Smith, secretary; Mrs. F. N. High, treasurer. Mrs. W. H. Flinn is business manager.

Wadsworth, jr,, of New York has returned from a speak- ing tour, bringing encouraging re- ports as to conditions in the middle west, He said: 2hie “A great battle has been waging in Nebraska. In that state as well as in all the great agricultural districts the farmers and business men in the towns are incensed over the pros- pect of increased freight rates which are bound to result from the passage of the Adamson law. Men who are thoroughly acquainted with the situ- ation say that Mr. Hughes and Mr. iCennedy, the republican candidate for United States senator, will win Ne- braska by from 30,000 to 40,000.”" Cecilia’s cathedral. .
