No. 33—1902 A Hair Cut This story, according to the New York Press, conies from the west, per Senator Spooner: The credit man of a great Chicago house visited his bar ber in the morning on the way to the store, and upon arriving in his ofllcr was greeted by the manager with a codrial "Good morning; I see you ve had your hair cut.” “Yes; l have had my hair cut.” he replied suavely. The office boy entered. “Mawnin,^ Mr. Gates; had your hair cut.” "Yes; I have had my hair cut!" Enter the head salesman. "Hello, Gates; had your hair cut." Yes! I have had my hair cut!!!’’ This sort of thing was kept up until he went home for din ner, when his good wife observed: “My dear, you have had your hair cut.” “Yes!!” he snapped; "I—have j —had—my—hair—cut!!! ” His dar ling daughter—"Papa, you have had your hair cut.” “Yes!! I h-a-v-e HAD my HAIR CUT!!!” He tore into the dining room to swallow a morsel and escape. The pretty maid: “Law, Mr. Gates, you’ve had your hair cut.” He flew out of the room, almost into the cook's arms, and that worthy remark ed cheerfully—“Mr. Gates! You've had your hair cut.” Too full for anything but expletives now, he dashed out into the hack yard, frightening nearly to death a favorite hen that had just laid an egg, and as she uttered tha usual hen cry—“Cut—cut—cut—cut— hair—to—cut!" the distressed credit man fell in a fit.

Wee ones played at my feet, while I, Held one upon my knee; Tha house was tilled all day with noise, The door was scattered o’er with toys. My head ached wearily. There came a time my house was still, No mud-stained footprints on the sill* My longed-for time of rest. My boys had climbed youth's topmost stair. My girl, a maiden tall and fair, Another's home now blast. A Inst yenr's nest hangs on the bough, ’Twas filled with singing birds, but now It empty Is and bare. The buds and bees have come, but still Those birds come not again, to fill With song the silent air. I gaze upon that empty nest, I know Ood’s ways are alwuys best, But I am sad and lone; I long so for life's vanished joys. My wee girl and my bonny boys. My nestlings that have fiown. An Egotist and a Woman — BY .JESSIE LLEWELLYN. (Copyright, 1M>2, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) j "It was a sad affair,” tie said. "Yes?” She regarded him curiously. So this young man, known to his lim ited circle of friends as "The Egotist,’ : possessed sympathy. They sat on opposite sides of the ! long table in her father’s library. At the farther end of the room the grate j fire had gone out, but she did not j ring; it might encourage him to stay I after he had told the story. Perhaps ; he was not the egotist that people thought him to be. He seemed to feel the tragedy in what he told—else why should he be telling it? '•And you knew him very well?” she asked. “Oh, very well—in a business way. The governor used to rely on him. Afterwards when I took on the busi ness, I kept him—out of kindness, you know. I’m a soft-hearted chap—” “Yes. I know,” she interrupted. "He was incompetent? You felt sorry?” ‘“Not that exactly, oh, no. He was a good man—student and digger— great chemist. I appreciate a digger. I even took him over to the nJub for lunch once or twice. He w’as a nat ural gentleman. Then, anyway. I’m a humane chap at heart—regular democrat, you know.” and although he was only a salaried man in the house I actually grew fond of him. We would tell college yarns and I-” "You were in college together?” "Not exactly. He had gone in for the German and Russian universities after ages of cramming on this side. Of course I—with the governor's money-” "Yes, I know.” She swiftly replied and a dark red overspread her face and neck. “You became intimate friends, and—how very sad—he—it was only last week, wasn't it?” “Committed suicide last week. Took five grains of morphine and was as dead as—er quite dead in no time. 1 was with him that afternoon. He was down-hearted and I just thought of “You say he was a very gifted scien tist?” she asked quietly. “He was that. We paid him a big ger salary than any extract house in the world ever paid a chemist. The governor and I always looked out for good men—and paid for them. I can tell a man of brains the minute I lay eyes on him. It's just natural for me to know one on.sight—funny isn't it?” “Very,” she replied. "I'm a queer contradiction,” he ru minated, absently crushing some rose petals on the floor with his wide foot. “I was never before so shocked to hear of a suicide. He had often spok en to me about himself when he had one of those melancholly attacks. I encouraged him, for I'm an easy sort. Fellow can move me to tears and not half try. You see he had married a girl—well—the good fellow typo. Said he owed it to her after pro nounced attentions had made people talk. She told him that. He felt sor ry for her—acted the fool as those studious chaps always do, and married her Now, I-” “And she?” “Went to the other extreme. From being too—er—jolly she overdid re spectability. Joined woman’s clubs and things—that sort was the best she could do. Devoloped into a shrew. “Do you know what I’d do if I found myself married to a shrew? Oh, I’m-” “What did he do?” “Oh. he!” A grave expression came over the young man’s round face. He turned his profile toward her—he had a good profile—and passed his fingers through his front hair, careful not to disarrange it. “As I said before, he was one of those fine, super-sensitive souls; the kind that quivers at a rough word. I always know how to “I will tell you something funnier even than yourself!” some such thing at the time. I'm pretty good reader of human nature, you know—pretty good. I-” “You and he were associated daily, and were very close friends for sev eral years, were you not?” Her voice was beginning to sound as if it came from a remote corner of the long room and she shivered as he spoke again. “For fifteen years—ever since I be came manager in my own right. Ho was as fond of me as a—awfully fond of me, but I didn't discourage it—It pleased him. When I’d come down la the morning after a—well, after hav ing been detained late the night be fore, I'd feel his eyes on my face. Then he would slip up behind my chair and lay his hand on my shoul der, for all the world like the gov ernor used to do. And he'd say: ‘Take care of yourself, old man; you’re working too hard. I couldn’t bear to see another name at the head of our stationery. It would break me all up, old man.' That's the way ho would talk. The way that man loved me was wonderful. Funny, Isn’t it?” “Very,” she replied, still more quietly. "But 1 started out to tell you about the suicide. Saddest thing I ever knew. That afternoon I had told him in plain words that I'd promised an other man his place—fellow I met on the other side last summer. Her brother you know. You'll not feel— er—Jealous when you get the cards? I gave you two opportunities—I want you to—well you know people and I—” "And the man,” she reminded. "Oh, he. He took it all right. Business is business, you know. He never said a word. Just got a little whiter—it was a little sudden—and walked straight out of the building. What I didn’t Just like was the way he went—not even waiting until four o'clock, but I’m naturally a soft hearted chap, and I didn’t say much. "He must have gone straight home then. They say he stepped into the house and asked for his wife. She had left word that she had gone out and would not be home for dinner. As he wrent out again, they told me, he met his little girl playing in the yard with some children. He asked her to go with him for a walk, but naturally enough, she said she would rather stay and play with the children. She never was much for her father, anyway. He was quiet, you know. Nobody ever knew him—except my self—I know him like a book, I-” "And he died alone without any body?” "Well, that was the last anyone ever saw of him, alive. The next morning they found him in his bed. And his face-” She got up suddenly. "Please!” was all she said. "What's the matter?” he asked. “Your eyes look so peculiar." "It was a sad affair,” he said, deal with that kind of a man. Now most people do not—but—well—you wouldn’t think it—I’m naturally of the artistic temperament myself— funny with my business ability, isn’t it? I could see, you know, that the woman was driving him to the edge of his nerves—that 3he was killing him. Never saw such a picture of misery as he grew to be. Always looking off somewhere and not heariug anything that went on around him. We grew intimate—I may say very intimate. He was a gentleman, ycra know, al ways without a cent, but a gentleman, "Th:* detail*. It t* the detail* that | I cannot-—'• "Oh, certainly!” Curiously his face I relaxed In a broad smile. He ratsed ! his hand In a grand gesture and f stroked his small hlack mustache. *T just told you the story,” he be gan. ‘‘We were speaking earlier in the evening of literary ability. Well, 1 wrote a friend of his a complete ac count of the suicide, and—do you know, it was the most graphic thing t ever did? The way it impressed rne and all makes me believe that I have real literary ability. Funny, isn’t it?” “Very.” Her voice sounded strange to both of them. Her arms were held close to her sides and her hands were clenched. “What's the matter?” he asked again. Her face was very pale. He won dered stupidly. “And now,” she said in a repressed, monotonous tone, “I will tell you something funnier, even than yourself. I’ve got to tell!” Her voice had risen, but she care fully modulated it again. “For fifteen years you knew him in timately. For fifteen years, I knew him, too. I loved him—always—be fore his marriage—long before—and afterwards. I love him—now. You see he didn't need you—or anybody. I—he—we—goodnight! Oh, good night!” WOES OF GERMAN OFFICERS. Matrimonial Snags in the Path of Kai ser's Soldiers. As censor of military marriages, German Emperor William has defined what manner of wedlock is permis sible to Prussian officers and what marriages are “strengthily under said." His new order states that an officer with $1,125 a year must have a private income of $375 in order to marry. A district officer of gendarmes must add private means of $525 a year to a salary of $900 to win the privil ege. Officers who haven’t $750 pay mustn’t marry at all. The kaiser's is the busiest matri monial bureau in the world. Each officer who desires to “double his duties and halve his rights" must state his prospective father-in-law's business and tell whether the lady is maid, widow or divorcee, and in the latter case why. Proofs must be in closed of her income, education and repute. If there is no obstacle, social or military, the wedding bells may then peal out their merry note. Interest rates upon suen German investments as the “kingly and kaiser ly” bureau will accept are low. A young fellow practically must have $10,000 to $15,000 in Ills own name before he can think of matrimony. If the lovelorn one has not the cash—• well, in that case he can give up his commission and come to a country where he may marry on nothing a year if he likes. One Sure Sign. A story illustrating the hard-head edness and sheer common sense of the late Dr. McCosh, the noted dean of the faculty of Princeton Univer sity, was told recently. He made the acquaintance of a couple of Scotsmen who worked as farm hands on an estate near Princeton, and, learning that they did not go to church, hauled them over the coals for backsliding and induced them to attend Sunday services regularly. They were simple-minded men, with immense respect for the venerable in structor, and they invariably ran to him to settle disputes or to advise them in matters of business. One morning they appeared before him as he was going to chapel, and told him they had had a quarrel as to the sign of hearing the first cuckoo of the season. Jamie had said that it was a sign that the one who heard it would speedily marry; Sandy declared It was a sign that the hearer would get speedily rich. “It’s a sure sign of somethin’, doc tor. What may it be? Can ye tell us?” “Yes,” said the doctor. “To hear the first cuckoo of the season is a sure sign you’re not deaf." And he solemnly turned on his heel and left them staring after him. Wanted Too Much. The late E. M. Reed was vice-presi dent of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad in the palmy days when that road was paying 10 per cent dividends. Reed was a close buyer and used all the arts and sub tleties necessary to hammer prices down to their lowest figure. One day he was negotiating for an improve ment in the way of a locomotive ai> pliance, and after wrangling for some time over the price said to the sales agent: "How much will your concern make on this transaction?” To which the reply came, "Ten per cent.” "Great Scott!” said Reed, "you want to get 10 per cent profit on this one sale, do you? Why, bless your soul, it takes our road a whole year to make 10 per cent.” Senator Hoar’s New House. Senator Hoar has bought a house on Connecticut avenue, Washington, u thr >story brick structure of a dozen rooms. He borrowed the $18,000 which It cost, but hopes to make a profit by selling before long. He and Mrs. Hoai have boarded for thirty-three years in Washington hotels. Much disappoint ment is felt in the capital because Senator Clark does not intend to build a residence on the site of the old Stewart castle which he purchased some time ago. Finishing touches ar6 being put to his splendid home in New York, and it is said the senator will not build again outside Montana.

Unfeeling Sheriff Drove Him Away * From Piece tf Luck. “I had a good thing of it onco in Texas," said the tramp an he hunted through his pocket* for a clear stub, "and it was a sheriff who dished me out of it. “Down there they have the most severe laws in any state, and when 1 was arrested one day I was charged with bein’ a tramp, a vagrant, a home less person and a suspicious charac ter. On top of that I had built a road side fire, asked for food and thrown stones at a dog. "I was convicted on every charge, and after figurin’ for a niinit tho judge called out: “ ’I find tho prisoner guilty on all counts, and he is sentenced to jail for seventy years.’ • “I was lookin’ for a long rest when the sheriff took me over to the jail, but I hadn't been In the place fifteen minutes when he handed me a crow bar and pointed to the wall and said: “ ’Dig out of this as soon as you can.’ “ ‘But I'm here for seventy years,’ says I. “ ‘You ain’t hero for seventy minits. If you ain't out before supper time I’ll come in with a club and break your neck. D’ye ’spose I’m going to have you bangin’ around here for any sev enty years? Git to work.’ “I wouldn’t do it,” said the tramp. “not wishin’ to work myself out of a long jol), and when that sheriff saw I wouldn’t ue jest hitched up his hoss and buggy, run me out on a prairie tt' fifteen miles from anywhe.e and dumped me out. “It took me two days to git back to jail again, and I hadn’t scarcely kicked on the door when he put two bullets through niy hat and flung me out fifty cents, and I had to let go and head for Dallas. “That seventy years in jail would have been a pat hand for me, but luck was ag in my sittin’ in the game and I don't expect to ever tumble over another good thing while I live.” CHANCES OF A BURGLAR. Ha Is Not the One Usually Who Is in Danger. A man who was arrested by local detectives a few weeks ago and after ward sent to the penitentiary on a Charge of burglary, talked freely to the officer concerning his manner of living: ‘'Will you tell me why you prefer a life of crime to that of an honest, up right man?” the detective asked him. "I have often wondered,” added the officer, “why burglars will take such desperate chances, when so frequently there is but little to be gained.” “But we don’t take the chances,” said the burglar. “The man who comes after us takes the chances. He takes his life in his own hands when he leaves his beu-chamber and goe;* in pursuit of an unwelcome caller. The odds are all against him and in favor of us. We know where we are and have an idea from where the oc cupant of the house will come. Of course, we only go to rob, and, when necessary, to fight. No burglar is J going to get caught if he can help it, ^ even if he has to resort to murder.” “Still,” the detective reasoned, “you are bound to be in danger some time, and that some time I should think, would deter you from taking the chances.” “There are remote chances,” the burglar said, “but they are so remote that they are never considered. If you will consult the records you will See that not one burglar in a hun dred cases ever gets hurt. Until there is a great change in the results you may depend upon it that burglaries will not cease.”—Washington Star. Pugilists at Coronation. A week before the coronation of George IV., in 1821, a famous pugilist, known as “Gentleman" Jackson, act ing under Instructions from the earl marshal’s office, was busily engaged In beating up fighting men for a pecu liar purpose. That was to keep in check the supporters of Queen Caro line, who was threatening to create a disturbance outside of Westminster abbey. Jackson's auxiliaries, twenty in number, were attired as king's pages, and were stuck about the ab bey gate. Their appearance was quite sufficient; not one of the aggrieved queen's sympathizers ventured to go near them. One was John Gully, who was in turn prize fighter, racing man, colliery proprietor and member of par- ' liament. Millions of Buffaloes. In 1868 Inman, Sheridan and Cus ter rode continuously for three days through onn herd in the Arkansas region, and In 1869 trains on the Kan sas Pacific were held from 9 in the morning until 6 at night to pe.^nit the passage of one herd across the tracks. Army officers relate that in 1862 a herd that covered an area of 70xc30 miles moved north from the Arkansas to the Yellowstone. Catlin and Inman and army men and em ployes of the fur companies consid ered a drove of 100,000 buffalo a com mon sight along the line of the Santa Fe trail. Inman computes that from St. Louis alone the bones of 31,000, 000 buffalo were shipped between 1868 and 1881.—July Outing. For the Sleepless. Effectiveness is claimed for yet an other remedy for sleeplessness. Dr. von Gollhorn employs a band of wet muslin, about 18 in. wide, wound around the lower part of the leg. The bandage is covered by gutta-percha tissue and the stocking, and in some cases is replaced every three or four hours.
