Buck Privates Show
Yankee Ingenuity in
Their Barber Shop

Paris, April 5.-There's manly a
tale of woe in connection with the
peace conference, but none can
equal that of A. H. Lamplough Of
Sioux City, Ia, and w. c. Vein
kauf of Clarinda, which is in the
same state. Weinkauf and Lamp
Tough 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 their assignment as
BARRIERS they began a still hunt in
Paris for regular barber chair,
regular razor, regular hair cloths
and all the other accoutrements OF
we'll ordered establishment Chairs
were not to be had, and to make 9
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
Tough proceeds to shave an Amerl-
can peace plenipotentiary or one OF
the commissions large staff of aids
and experts, one hand serves as
lap for the plenipotentiary's head
while the other hand wields the
razor.
A shave is a long, hard task, but
Weinkauf or Lamplough shave,
after several weeks experience with
Partisan BARRIERS, is the first real
bona hde evidence that peace has
come.

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 t is probable that
if he had not been i'll with the fever,
he 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 eli
mate. On his westward journey his
condition grew worse, which neces-
stated 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 FOWL home heard that Roy
had returned and was fever strick-
en-, 80 she offered to help Mrs. FOWL
care for the patient. The miss was
daughter of Rev. Mr.. Renwick.
Roy FOWL 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.. FOWL 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 FOWL home. They picked
violets and sweetwilians and lis
tened to the birds in the tree tops.
Some of the birds were on the
ground. Then Mr.. Towf became
frequent visitor TO the home OF the
little girl across the street.
"a year later we we're married,
remarked Mr.. Towl, meaning year
aftef-his convalescence. Just like a
civil engineer 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
of year.

ELIGIBLE Omaha Bachelors

Z Here's Harley Conant, with two
hotels in Omaha named after him
{the Harley and the Conan) and
himself the manager of the big San
ford hotel and the bigger Conant
hotel.
He has long, wavy hair and he's
tall and he hasn't lost his "girlish'
figure. He has a good disposition,
he's 43 years old and~there's hardly
any grey in that long, wavy, thick,
silky hair.
His salary, as given in the in
come tax blank, is something like
$4,000 year.
And, GIRLS, he's a bachelor!
Yes, sir!
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 l just stop and think
Here's this big business which has
grown from nothing, paying I'M

hope I'll get some results from this
write-up."
How does it come you haven't

bause I've been too busy said
this bachelor hotel magnate.
Harley was born in Cherokee,
Iowa, July II, 1876, moved to Lin
coin when he was a boy and came
to Omaha in 1898. 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
was unfortunate in getting no far

ha. he went into the grain business.

Fate Started Him Right.
A siege of typhoid fever led him
into the hotel business. He was
convalescing from the fever at the
Bachelors hotel, Twentieth and
Farnam, which was operated by his
mother. The clerk disappeared one
day with about $1,000 of the hotels
funds. This was a big blow to the
Conants in those days. So Harley
pitched in and acted as clerk. That

Fear Bears Will Get

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 posi-
Bile?
Anyway, several weeks ago some
one wrote Roy X. Moulton OF the
New York Evening Mail a little
verse about the fy-a nice little
verse with wee bit Of sentiment
and feeling. In time this verse,
with others, found their way to
Omaha and each Sunday the story
of the little fly continues to grow
for instance:
Little fly upon the wall,
Amt you got no clothes at all?
Amt you got no petti-skirt?
Amt you got no undershirt?
Amt you cold?
How's this:
Little fly upon the wall,
Amt you got no clothes at all?
Amt you got no petti-skirt!
Amt you got no undershrtf
Amt you cold at all, you flirt?
Tell me why you shimmy there;
Don't you know that you're all bare?
Here one tnlnS straight Irolu tuo Up
You sure do shake a naughty hip;
It's good you've got no clothes to rip.
L'ENVOI
Shimmy not, you crazy fly.
Lest some inconsiderate guy
Swat you where you'll wish you had
petti-skirt your shape to pad.

Amt you got no hanky for your nose?

Amt you got no clothes at all?
Amt you got no underwear,

Amt you got no silken ''knicks,"

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 we'll
and [ still have few francs in re-
serve. l looked over the battlefield
and saw 1888 dugouts where the
crown prince is supposed to have
slept. Now / know what he was
doing during the war. He was so
busy sleeping that he didn't have
time to fight.
Paris is 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 working man can get de-
cent breakfast for $40 or $12. A
man was seen eating an orange in
the hotel here the other day and he
was arrested for burglary. 1t was
only question of what bank he
robbed.

gardening over here Every poilu

a lot of time hanging around barber
shops hunting for war souvenirs
among the boards that have just

it should include not only the tale

Those entertainment units had

even the units which had to do
most of their entertaining far back

They had the toll without the

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
gees out to the Field club and plays
golf about FIVE times week. Says
he can go around" in IS, which is
gong some on that course.
Favorite With Ladies.
He's classy dancer and quite
tavorite among the ladies'. Last
winter he took vacation in Florida.
Hes president of the Omaha Ho-

One thing of which he is really
proud is his election this year as a

When They Wooed and Won =: By Edward Black

When a man gets into the position
of city commissioner, there is more
or less interest 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. FOWL
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 FOWL was youth he
was extremely .bashful; he was so
bashful that he would run home
from 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
