LEO DID HIS CHUNK.
Ran into Leo Donnelly, Thes

club the other day.
Last time we saw Leo was in

They've got
Dress-Up andQliant flamingo crimson.
Clean-Lp Week just hind side to.
Next year they ought to arrange it
different clean up first and then
dress-up. What's the use of dress
ing up and then getting dirty again
cleaning up?
Well, we've got the dolling up out
of our system and so it's now us
for the renovating. This admoni
tory propaganda can be taken in a
; personal sense by those apparent
house dwellers who haven't any
cellar or back yard to manicure,
but let's get down to the real clean
up idea tin cans, old papers, rags
and "dead soldiers." Things, do
clutter up, don't. they? .
The Nasty Old Furnace.
Sometimes thy old furnace won't
digest all the trash we mean to dis
pose of and it sort o collects and
collects, and the ash pile out by the
back fence gets bigger and bigger,
.and the tin cans get more numerous
and rustier and the man with the
wagon doesn't seem to appear on the
' horizon for months, but when the
robins start propogating and the
worms stretch themselves out on the
sidewalk it's ahout time to make the
" annual resolution.
Of course you throw some of your
stuff over the fence into your neigh
bor's vard and he throws some of
his own ito yours, so it's about
fifty-fifty. It's sort of incriminating
evidence to have "dead soldiers"
around so the best course to persue
is to dig a hole out by the ash pile
and then some dark and turgid night
tip-toe out and deposit the last win
ter's accumulation therein.
Safety first!
And then there's the gutter.
The Dead Leaves Question.
Did you ever nonchalently and
surreptitiously sneak out over the
front walk and deposit your dead
leaves, etcetera, in the public high
way, counting on the assistance of
J. Pluv to help you out? Then
there's the incinerating method but
your clothes smell of smoke for a
.week. '

there is usually added the paint-up
amendment. This doesn't necessa
rily mean to paint the town a bril-
Bouquet of Live, Human Interest
Eligible Omaha Bachelors
Here's Harley Conant, with two
hotels in Omaha named after him
( the Harley and the Conant) and
himself the rrtanager of the big San
ford hotel ind the bigger Conant
. hotel.
He has long, wavy hair and he's
tall and lie hasn't lost his "girlish"
figure. He has a good disposition,
he's 43 years old andhere's hardly
any grey in that long, wavy, thick,
silky hair.
' His sahiry, as given in the in
" come tax blank, is something like
$15,000 a year.
And, GIRLS, he's a bachelorl
Yes, sirl
He says he "hopes he'll get some
results" from this "advertisement"
that we're writing up about him.
As Harley sat before his big
desk in the Conant hotel, he re
marked: What For?
"Sometimes I just stop and think.
Here's this big business which has
grown from nothing, paying im
mense returns. I'm looking forward
to even bigger things. And I won
der and say to myself, "What for?
-Nobody is dependent on me. There's
only mother and myself. And I
would be glad, to be settled in that
happy state called matrimony."
"Yes," he added with a smile, "I
hope I'll get some results from this
write-up."
, "How does it come you haven't
married?"
T don't know unless it was be-
bause I've been too busy," said
this bachelor hotel magnate.
Harley was born in ' Cherokee,
ItTwa, July 11, 1876, moved to Lin
coln when he was a boy and came
to Omaha in-1893. He worked for
the F. E. Sanborn company for a
while and when the Spanish war
started he went with the Second
regiment to . camp. The regiment

but did very well at that.
Fate Started Him Right.
A siege of typhoid fever led him
into the hotel business. ,He was
convalescing from the fever at the
? Bachelor's hotel, Twentieth and
..Farnam, which was operated by his
mother. The clerk disappeared one
day with about $1,000 of the hotel's
funds. This was a big blow to the
Con ants in those days. So Harley
pitched in and acted as clerk. That

mother through their prosperous
career as hotel proprietors.
Harley doesn't look after any de
tails. He dreams the big dreams of
his hotel enterprises. He doesn't
need to spend many hours a day at
his hotels. During the season he
goes out to the Feld club and plays
golf about five times a week. Says
he can "go around" in 85, which is
going some on that course.

He's a classy dancer and quite a

Buck Privates Show
Yankee Ingenuity in
Their Barber Shop
i Paris, April 5. There's many a
I tale of woe in connection with the
peace conference, but none can
equal that of A. H. Lamplough of
Sioux City, la., ah-d W. C. Wein
kauf of Clarinda, which is in the
same state. Weinkauf and Lamp
lough while the war was in progress
were "buck" privates, and now that
peace has nearly come they are
"boss barbers," presiding in all their
glory over the tonsorial parlor in
the Hotel de Crillon.
An American barber shop, man
ned by Americans, and set down in
the heart of Paris, is an innovation,
but. the struggle of Weinkauf and
Lamplough to furnish and Ameri
canize their shop is a ,sad, sad tale.
When given thqir assignment as
barbers they began a still hunt jn
Paris for a regular barber chair,
regular razor, regular hair cloths
and all the other accoutrements of
a well ordered establishment. Chairs
were not to be had, and to make a
long story short they finally ended
up with two red plus cushioned
chairs, presumably of the period of
Louis XIV, and it was only after a
10 days' search .that they obtained
two white barber coats.
So now. when Weinkauf or Lamp
lough proceeds to shave an Ameri
can peace plenipotentiary or one jof
the commission's large staff of aids
and experts, one hand serves as a
lap for the plenipotentiary's head
while the other hand wields the
razor.
A shave is a long, hard task, but
a Weinkauf or Lamplough shave,
after several weeks' experience with
Parisian barbers, is the first real
bona fide evidence that peace has
come.

Story of Little Fly
Upon Old Home Wall
Did it ever occur to you that such
a thing as connecting sentiment
with the house fly would be possi
ble? Anyway, several weeks ago some
one wrote Roy K. Moulton of the
New York Evening Mail a little
verse about the fly a nice little
verse with a wee bit of sentiment
and feeling. In time this verse,
with others, found their, way to
rimoh. and arh Sundav the story
of the little fly continues to grow
for instance:
Little fly upon th wall,
Ain't you got no clothe t all?
Ain't you got no pettl-kirtT
Ain't you got no underhlrtT
Ain't you cold? '
How's this:
Little fly upon the wall.
Ain't you got no clothe t all?
n.'t va, wnt nn nettl-aklrt ?
Ain't you got no underahlrtT
Ain't yoti cold at all, you flirt?
Tell me why you hlmmy there:
Pon t you know that you're all bare?
Here's one thing straight from the tip,
ou aure do snake a naugncy nip;
s good you ve got no clothes to rip.

Who is Spending Few
Weeks Around Paris
Dear Roy: I am fine in spite of
heavy counter-attacks in the battle
of Paris. My sector is holding well
and I still haVe a few francs in re
serve. I looked over the battlefield
and saw 738 dugouts where the
crown prince is supposed to have
slept. Now I know what he was
doing during the war. He was so
busy sleeping that he didn't have
time to fight.
Paris is a fine city if you don't
have to eat. As soon as you. look
at the prices on the menu you wish
you were back in some cheap hash
house like Delmonico's or Sherry's,
where a working man can get a de
cent breakfast for $10 or $12. A
man was seen eating an -trrange in
the hotel here the other day and he
was. arrested for burglary. It was
only a question of what bank he
robbed.
I am getting some fine ideas for
gardening over here. Every poilu
has a war garden on his place. The
shrubbery is very artistic. I spend
a lot of time hanging around barber
shops hunting for war' souvenirs
among the beards that have just
been trimmed.
I am still trying to 'find where
the peace conference is. Nobody
seems to know the address. I tried
to get a couple of tickets from a
speculator, but all he had was a pair
of seats in the gallery next to the
delegates from Siam and Hedjaz. I
expect to be home soon and then
will find out all the news of what is
going on over here. Yours,

Stories
When They Wooed- and Won
When a man gets into the position
of city commissioner, there is more
or less ihterest in his personality.
For instance,'' City Commissioners
Butler and Zimman are not eligible
for this series, because they have
never wooed and won. They may
have wooed, but they have not won;
they are bachelors.
City Commissioner Roy N. Towl
rightfully belongs in this series.
Now that he is a public servant, and
one of the seven king-pins in the
city hall, one just naturally won
ders what sort of a Lochinvar he
was about 20 years ago, more or
less.
Was Extremely Bashful.
When Roy Towl was a youth he
was extremely -bashful; he was so
bashful that he would run home
from a neighborhood party when
such games as postoffice or spin the
plate were proposed. He was the
most bashful boy in his set. He
outgrew bashfulness as the years
;: D?o y DV. To its Z
r " "fit
the old citadel at Verdun, m
France, far deeper underground
than we want to be again for
some time to come. It was in a
Y. M. C. A. uniform, and was
right at the hip of the American
First army, with its theatrical
unit, putting on entertainments for
the soldiers.
It's our opinion that too little
has been said about these enter-
taimnent units sent out by the
"Y," and manned, and womaned,
too, for that matter, mainly by
professionals who volunteered for
that particular, line of service.
They did a wonderful work, and
no matter what soldiers may say
of the shortcomings of the "Y"
in other directions, you never
heard any raps for the entertain
ment end.
We heard a very great deal
about two units in particular. One
was Donnelly's unit. The other
was made up of Tommy Gray,
Elizabeth Brice, Margaret Mayo
and Bill Morrisey. We heard
much about others, too, but it
happened we were brought in con
tact quite a bit with the troops
among whom "the units named did
a lot of work, and the soldats re
membered them.
Leo was one of the favorites
with the combat divisions. He was
always working very close up to
the front lines, and his trail led
him through parlous places. The
fact that he is himself an old sol
dier gave' him an understanding of
. the soldier. Leo served with the
old Seventy-first New York in
Cuba, and was very badly wound
ed. He was a real acquisition for
the "Y," because in addition to
his' experience he is one funny
guy, and can make people laugh.
Which, in our opinion, is better
than making them cry.
' Ted-Kid Lewis.
It seems to us that some of the
folks are a little unkind in their
summing up of Ted-Kid Lewis,
the former welterweight cham
pion, who has just retired to St.
Vincent's hospital suffering from
some mysterious ailment that
probably had something to do
with his recent defeat by Jack
Britton.
Ted is undoubtedly a sick man.
It is all very well to, say that his
condition the night he fought
Britton detracts nothing from
Jack's victory, but we cannot en
tirely coincide with that view.
Jack has no greater admirer than
the writer. He's a grand fighter,
and a grand fellow, but we doubt
if even Jack himself takes any
vast amount of credit to himself
for licking a sick man.
Lewis has done a sensible thing
in going to a hospital and giving
the sawbones a chance to find out
just what's the matter with him
and curing it. He never had a
very healthy look at his best, and
his ailment has probably been
building up inside him for years.
When he comes out he ought to
be better than ever. The Lewis
Britton series can then resume at
the old stands.
Lewis may never regain his title
by knocking out Britton, but be
ing younger, he ought to outlive
Jack, and recover it through lega
cy, at least, in any event, we can't
believe Lewis is nearly through.
About
7
passed by, and when he rubbed
against the corners of the world.
He went away to the) Armour In
stitute of Technology in Chicago,
and then to the Panhandle district
in Texas with the Rock -Island. His
next move was as resident engineer
for the Illinois Central in Memphis,
Tenn. While in the southland he
was stricken with malarial fever and
he declares that it is probable that
if he had not been ill with the fever,
lie may have remained a bachelor
for the rest of his life. Anyway, he
had the fever and he was married,
all of which is part of the plot.
Trip Is Broken.
He entrained at Memphis, ex
pecting to go to Colorado to re
cuperate and to live in another cli
mate. On his westward journey his
condition grew worse, which neces
sitated breaking the trip at South
Omaha, his home since he was 5
years old.
He returned to the home of his
parents and was attended by loving
hands. A miss -who lived across
from the Towl home heard that Roy
had returned and was fever strick
en, so she offered to help Mrs. Towl
care 'for the patient. The miss was
a daughter of Rev. Mr. Renwick.
Roy Towl was quite low during this
illness, but the miss remained at
the bedside with untiring vigilance.
During the period of convalesence
she brought flowers and fruit, read
stories, and otherwise administered
health restoratives.
When Mr. Towl was able to get
out in the air, the little girl who
lived across the street accompanied
him on walks through the beautiful
springtime vistas of Brown park,
near the Towl home. They picked
violets and sweetwilliams and lis
tened to the birds in the tree tops.
Some of the birds were on the
ground. Then Mr. Towf became a
frequent visitor to the home of the
little girl across the street.
"A year later we were married,"
remarked Mr. Towl, meaning a year
afterMiis convalescence. Just like a
civil engineer a technical man he
thinks in terms of feet or miles, or
days or 'years.
"What did you say when you pro
posed?" was asked of the superin
tendent of the department of public
improvements.
He disclaims any recollection of
what occurred during the period be
tween his fever and his marriage, an
interim of a year.
"You were uot in a deliriu.u for a
imsiaKCS, iiui tiicc uuiig nappci
in the best regulated families. ,
Look Who's Here!
As this seems to be drifting int
a theatrical discussion in general
we can scarcely omit mention oi
another notable Thespian encoun
tered yesterday in darkest Broad
way. He was none other than
the redoubtable Michael J. DonHh,
actor, late of the movies, and now
out in Bill Median's part of
"Muggs" in "Turn to the Right."
Mike's company, which is tlit
original cast of the great show,
with the exception of Median, if
now playing an engagement in
Philadelphia, and Mike rambled
over here to see if Marty Mc
Hale is still a resident of the city.
"Going great," said the old
time slugger of the big league,
"Fine notices everywhere. And
what do you think not one -xJ
them said my acting was prettj
good for a ball player I"
Mike is a great booster for Jacl
Dempsey.
"He's a swell boy," quoth Mich
ael T. "And he can fight. Wil
lard? Say, Dempsey'Il knock him
aad. Why, Willard's as old as 1
am. How old is that? Past 30."
The Actor in the War.
Some day some fellow is going
to take pen in hand and write a
story as yet unwritten, towit
"The Actor in the War." It
ought to be a grea,t story, because ,
it should include not only the tale
of the many American actors .
and foreign ones also who went
a-soldiering, but the narrative of '
their work behind the lines.
Those entertainment units had
no cinch. They had a lot of hard
work, hardships and danger. Not '
even the units which had to do
most of their entertainine far back
Nn the S. O. S. had any sinecure. ,
iney naa tne ton without the
thrills. They are deserving of
great credit. f
Fear Bears Will Get
Insomnia if Weather
Doesn't Change Soon
Winnipeg, Canada The animal
keepers in Assiniboine park here
are all worked up. They fear the
five black bears in the bear nits' will
die of insomnia if they don't get
rsome cold weather. The weather
has been so mild, the bears think it
is spring. They hole up every win
ter at the first cold snap and sleep
until the snows pass. But this win
ter none of them has shown any
signs of a desire to hibernate. It
takes four or five days- of cold
weather, as a rule, according to the
head keeper, to get a bear into the
mood for his long winter nap. There
haven't been three cold days in suc
cession in western Canada this win
ter. Several butterflies, it is re
ported, have been seen recently flit
ting about in Medicine Hat, where,
according to ideas in the United
States, all the cold weather comes
from.
The beauty about Canadian winter
weather,is that it is so dry it never
