LIST TO A STRANGE
TALE OF GREAT men
In Which DR.. H. A. Senter'f
Life Is Likened to That
of Nick Romanoff.
IT'S SIMPLY MARVELLOUS
BY A. R. GROH.

Strangely, inscrutably and occultly
the life of DR.. H. A. Sentef of the
Omaha High school is connected with
that of Nicholas Romanoff, lately
Nicholas II, czar and autocrat of all
the Russias.
List to this strange tale.
DR.. Senter and Nicholas were born
in the same year-lS68. Not only
that, but they were born in the same
month of that year-May.
And here enters the mystic and ca
balistic number "9." DR.. Senter was
born May and Nicholas was born
nne days later, on May Is.
My goodness, gracious! Did you
ever hear anything so marvelous'
But listen some more.
Waddya Think O. This?
Nicholas visited Germany in 1896.
So did DR.. Senter. Nicholas spent
his time with the kaiser in Berlin. DR..
Senter spent his time in Heidelberg,
where he was STU
Dent at the u
Niversity of Heidelberg,
Niversity of Heidelberg.
Nicholas became the autocrat OF all
the Russias. DR.. Senter became the
autocrat of all the chemistry depart
ment of the Omaha High school.
During the last few weeks, fortu-
nately, the life channels of the two
men have not run parallel. Nicholas
is no longer car OF all the Russias,
nor of any of the Russias, for that
matter. But DR.. Senter is still car
OF all the chemistry at the O. Fl. 5.
Listen some more. DR.. Senter has
one of the coronation cups Of the
car. He bought it in Heidelberg.
Il is a cup holding about pint, orna-
mented with the letters which mean
Nicholas II, the date, the imperial
crown and the Russian double eagle.
He expects to present this cup to the
museum in the public library.
Something About Whiskers.
Furthermore, look at DR.. Senter's
whiskers. They're just the same
style and shade as the whiskers of
Nicholas. Whiskers aren't a very
common adornment nowadays, and it
is remarkable that DR.. Senter is one
of the few men in Omaha cherishing
them. Dress him up like Nicohlas
and, if he appeared on the Nevskii
Prospekt in Petrograd, he would be
arrested at once as the escaped czar.
It reminds one Of the famous
double" OF the German kaiser. He
is blacksmith named Wilhelm
Schwartz. He lives in the Swabian
Alps. He was married the same day
as the kaiser and his wife bears the
same name as the kaiserine, Victoria.
His six sons were born, each on the
same day as the kaiser's six sons, and
finally daughter was born the same
day as the kaiser's only daughter.
Today he is the exact counterpart Of
the kaiser.
But Wilhelm II and Wilhelm
Schwartz don't have the mystic mum.
Der '9". with them. And they haven't
got any whiskers, either.
Wen take the Romanoff- -Senter
mystic combination for ours.

FLAG RAISING
EXERCISES
YESTERDAY :
I| N THE PARK

: In spite of rain and other unfavor-
able conditions very nice Fourth of
July program was yesterday carried
out in Lakeland, attended by large
and interested audience.
The parade was somewhat disap-
pointing, many of the organizations
of the city not being represented.
This was due to an injection of that
nasty spirit which has been forced
into every movement. good, bad and
Indifferent that has been attempted
in this city for the past year, and
which was never in evidence until a
year ago. This time it manifested it.
self in glaring and malicious false
hoods concerning the Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. who was alb
sent from the city at the time. When
these mis-statements were run to
earth, correction of them was prom
ised. but the promise was not car
ried out. On this account Mr.. G. H.
Alfeld resigned as Marshal of the
day and refused to have anything
further to do with the matter. AS
consequence, the parade did not com
pare with previous attempts along
this line in Lakeland.
So far at it went, however. the pa
rade made a very nice appearance. 1t

then, in the order named, came the

0. W., marching in uniform, Ladies
of the G.. A. r., Lakeland Band, Boy
Scouts Woman's Club and Farmers
Club, besides a number of private au-
tomobiles.
Before the conclusion of the pa
rade. rain began to fall and it ap-
peared that the exercises planned to
be given in the Park would have to
be abandoned. However, after a
short time the rain ceased, and a
large crowd gathered in the Park to
witness the flag raising and listen to
the addresses. The first of these
was delivered by Mr.. Thomas w.
Bryant who spoke most eloquently to
the Boy Scouts Mrs. William SteitZ,
Patriotic Instructor, presented the
flag to the Scouts in very apprO-
pirate and pleasing address, which
was responded to in fitting terms by
Mr.. Fl. c. Petteway on behalf of the
Scouts.
Mrs NJ. e. Mcdonald then made
the presentation of the flag to the
city, which she did very gracefully.
The Mayor made suitable speech of
acceptance. The flag was then
raised, after which Mrs. W. B. Moon
read "Old Glory which brought the

Don'f Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair


When you wash your hair be care.
full what you use Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali, which is very injurious. as It
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsilied cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely. greaseless.. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of RICH creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and Is
soft, fresh looking, bright. fluffy. wayy
and easy to handle. Besides, it loos-
ems and takes out every particle Ct
