Bouquet of Live Human Interest Stories About People
Eligible Omaha Bachelors

John c. Barret has been
Lecturing knight,
Loyal knight
Leading knight
And he is Knight of Columbus.
Good night!
Ought to dress him up in suit
of armour. =.
And he never needs to be afraid
to come home late any night.
For he isn't married. In other
words. he is bachelor, an eligible
Omaha bachelor.
This lone knight was lecturing
knight, loyal knight and leading
knight in the Omaha lodge, No. 80,
Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks. And last May ! he was
elected grand exalted ruler of this
lodge.
Maybe He'll do Same.
Some people say John is going
through all these orders of knight
hood. A careful study Of the
records shows that Ray Young
became grand exalted ruler of the
Elks lodge No. 80 and shortly
thereafter became married man.
John Rine went through the same
process and attained married bliss.
But if Johns purposes are such
as these he should examine the
record still further and he will
learn the appalling fact that the
grand exalted ruler job availed
nothing at all in changing the lonely
state OF Dan Butler, Bob Patrick
and Walter Thomas.
Be that as it MAY, John is a
pleasant and cordial young man
whose disposition has not been
warped by lack of feminine dis
cipline all these years. He still
lives under the parental roof on the
south side, where he has lived his
entire mortal span of years.
All! Some Rumors.
John is lawyer and has his
office n ev'rything on the south
side. Until recently he was attor-
ney for the Omaha Welfare board.
1t is said while he was up there
he showed considerable attention to
a fair creature of the office force.
And why shouldn't he, especially
when he's the proud owner Of a
twin-two' Ford touring car III which
lie can take her out and give her

He should. -.

After letting loose of few stage

A guest at one of Omaha's ultra

In the residence district many fine
trees were ruined and some Chin

of broken limbs and odds and ends
blown out of back yards, such as
bushe1 baskets, washing carelessly
left out on the lines, and other

Big Chimney Topples.
A huge iron chimney over the
kitchen of King Joys Chinese res
taurant on Farnarn street, next to
the Paxton hotel, was blown over
with a crash into the ~. The
alley vas crowded with delivery
trucks and ice cream wagons at the
time, but by a piece of good fortune,
nobody was hurt.
, Those who watched the storm
coming say that a great grey cloud
stretching clear across the sky from
east to west, apparently rolled over
the city, bringing the high wind.
Superintendent Welsh of the fed
eral weather bureau was tesieged
with telephone calls from frightened
citizens asking as to he possibil' of

ton was purely local and unaccom-

Railroad headquarters reported no
particular storm situation near
Omaha, except for rains and

eastern part of the state.
Telegraph service was interfered
