Bouquet of Live Human Interest Stories About People
ELIGIBLE Omaha Bachelors

Pinochle, business, Bucks, bust
ness, theaters, business, fishing and
business-these are the principal in
terests in the busy life of l. B. Zim-
man.
You will observe that girls and
women are not mentioned. Ike is
a bachelor and he says I'VE don't
ever discuss Women" I'VE" refers
to himself and his brothers Harry
and Joe, who are also afflicted with
bachelorism.
However, the fact remains that
frequently one of the so-called fair
creatures may be seen sitting be-
side "Ike" in Booick. spinning
smoothly along the highways. On
cross-examination' by the attorney
for. the marriage bureau he admits,
in fact, that he does admire the la
dies.
"A. Started at the Bottom.
Ike is a gentleman of pleasing ad-
dress who has risen by his own ef-
forts to high position in the local
business world.
He started out as an errand boy
at Thomas Fitzpatrick & Co.'S store.
He rose to be department manager
there.
"And he folded up the dress goods
so excellentlee
That now he's service manager of
the Nebraska Power Com
panee."
Yes, he soon felt a longing to shed
light on the world And so he with
drew from the counters of dry
goods and bestowed the benefit of
his services on the Omaha Electric
Light & Power company,
At first he was humble helper
of the men who did inside wiring.
President Nash of the company soon
picked him out as youth of extra
ordinary promise and he became
solicitor for the company.
To Keep Him Busy.
From that position he rose to his
present height of manager of sales
and service for this big corporation.
And as this big job isn't enough to
occupy his energies he has the Zim-
man Investment company also.

his affections. His automobile

Movies and the theaters he does
not eschew. And Brother Harry is
authority for the statement that he
likes the girls" and gives them
tender thought or two whenever
business and pinochie are absent
from, his thoughts.

almost say domesticated disposition.
He is not the kind of man who
would beat his wife and throw her
down the stairs.

Sulphur and 'Lasses.

How dear to my heart
Are the scenes of my childhood,
The sulphur and 'lasses
My infancy knew.
Every spring, they came,
Hand in hand, as it were.
Mother used to mix that unholy
Alliance and we had to take it,
Out of large spoon, in fact
The largest spoon in the world,
Which is one reason we have
Never had beautiful mouth.
1t was stretched out of shape
In childhood's unhappy hours.
And then we ran away from home
To become an undertaken,
But compromised on writing d
column.
That was many years ago
And we thought we had stuffed
Sulphur and molasses forever.
But this morning we had
To shut our eyes and swallow
The bowl of large wooden spoor
Aimed by an unerring hand,
And our patient wife
And our two kids had to do the
same.
Mother is visiting us this spring
And she brought the ingredients
Along with her. 1t is thus
The innocent crimes Of childhood
Pursue one to his last day.

When They Wooed and Won j. By Edward Black =

Once upon a time there was a
young man who received an honor
able discharge from reputable seat
of learning in the east, and he
straightway HE'D for his home town
with considerable confidence and
hope. He had been something of a
success on the gridiron, and he
thought that he could make an i'm
preston on the dance floor back
among the home folks. He went
to country club dance and there
it happened.
Did you ever attend dance where
you met a particular person who
could dance with airy grace and
you just stumbled all over yourself
trying to demonstrate your terp-
sichorean art? And the more you
tried, the more confused you be-
came, just because you was con-
scious of a particular being who had
upset your equilibrium?

He went to Oberln college in Ohio
and then decided to attend the law
school at Columbia from where in
due time he was graduated. He
obtained some literature of pro-
gressive western towns and finally
decided that Omaha was about the
right kind of a place for him, SO he
moved here and got his name in the
city directory along about nineteen

she did not think that he was dane

he felt as if he was all feet and all
he could see was his feet most of
the time But he was steadfast in
his efforts to improve, and he Sue
ceeded in his efforts, as the records
will show.
Practices Terpsichorean Art.
He went to his home from the
Country Club that night with heavy
heart and heavy feet, and with a
lingering memory of what the young
woman from Grand Rapids had said
Of his dancing. He practiced al
home until he could dance like the
poetry of motion itself Then the
occasion arrived for taking her to
another dance and the fates were
with him this time. During the
dance heavy snow fell. They drove
home and encountered a heavy drift
between the road and her home,
How was she to negotiate the dis.
lance between the conveyance and
her house. a distance of more than
50 feet? If she walked she would
have to go through snow up to her
waist, What do you suppose hap

Mr.. Moorhead displayed his valo,
by picking the young woman up anG
carrying her in his arms right into
the front hallway. He was glad that
it showed that highland so was
she.

would appeal to the general public.
What Chance Has He?

What chance has kid got, any
way, when he is foisted into public
view in nothing tut,his birthday suit?
Of course he is weighed in like any
prize fighter. If he sees a pin and
tries to swallow itHt denotes mental
alertness and it is a point in his ia
vor. If he says Gee" we'll and
good, but if he says "Goo-Goo' it
shows mental capacity beyond re-
proach.
In measuring UP the physical quail
tiles, if the young lady gets her big
toe in her mouth, she is marked 50
per cent. If she gets her whole foot
in, she is marked Is per cent, but if
she does all this and in the mean
while twindles her forelock with her
finger she may be considered perfect
and deserves 100 per cent. The sex
problem is sometimes a puzzler. The
most discreet way is to approach the
enraptured mother and ask if cts
name is Ikey or Alice.
A contest would hardly be con-
test unless darling S picture is taken.
This is where the patient photo
grapher crashes his tooth. See the
pretty birdy Cootchy! Cootchy!
Cootchy! Drat the brat! can't it keep
still. If two negatives make an af-
firlnative we wonder what might
