“ODER THE BARBER'S KNIFE.”
A Dead Beat AVho Goes to a Barber
Shop For Nothing But a Shave.
In the October American Magazine
Stephen Leacock, known as the Cana
dian Mark Twain writes an amusing
“ ‘Who's been doing your work?’ he
asked. The question from a barber
has no reference to one’s daily occupa
tion. It means, 'Who has been shav
ing you?’
“I knew it was best to own up. I’d
been in the wrong, and I meant to ac
knowledge it with perfect frankness.
“ ‘l’ve been shaving myself,’ I said.
“My barber stood back from me in
contempt. There was a distinct sensa
tion all down the line of barbers. One
of them threw a wet rag in a corner
[ with a thud, and another sent a sud
| den squirt from an atomizer into his
customer's eyes as a mark of disgust.
“My barber continued to look at me
narrowly.
“ ‘What razor do you use?’ he said.
“ ‘A safety razor,’ I answered.
“The barber had begun to dash soap
over my face; but he stopped—aghast
at what 1 had said.
“A safety razor to a barber is like a
red rag to a bull.
“ ‘lf it was me,’ he went on, beating
lather into me as he spoke, ‘I wouldn't
let one of them things near my face!
No. sir; There ain’t no safety in them.
They tear the hide clean off you—juM
rake the hair right out by the folli
cles,' —as he said this he was illustrat
i ing his meaning with jabs of his
1 razor. Them things just cut a man's
face all to pieces.’—he jabbed a stick
I of alum again an open cut that lie
had made.—‘and as for cleanliness, for
sanitation, for this here hygiene, ana
for germs, I wouldn't have 'em round
me for a fortune.’
"I said nothing. 1 knew 1 had de
served it, and I kept quiet.
"The barber gradually subsided. Un
der other circumstances he would have
told me something or the spring train
ing of the baseball clubs, or the last
items from the Jacksonville track, or
any of those things which a cultivated
man loves to hear discussed between
breakfast and business. But I was not
worth it. As he neared the end of the
shaving he spoke again, this time in n
confidential, almost yearning tone.
“ 'Massage?’ he said.
“ ‘No, thank you.’
“ 'Shampoo the scalp?’ he whisper
ed.
“ ‘No. thanks.’
“ ‘Singe the hair?’ he coaxed.
“ ‘No, thanks.’
“The barber made one more effort.
“ ‘Say,’ he said in my ear, as a thing
concerning himself and me alone, ‘your
hair's pretty well all falling out. You’d
better let me just shampoo up the scalp
a bit and stop up them follicles, or
j pretty scon you won't— ’
“ ‘No, thank you,’ I said, ‘not today.'
“This was all the barber could stand.
jKe saw that 1 was just one of those
j miserable dead-beats who come to a
j barber shop merely for as have, and
i who carry away the scalp and the folli
j
icles and all the barber’s perquisites as
I if they belonged to them."

NO RACES FOR SAVANNAH
SEEMS THE PROSPECT
Entries Not Enough to In
sure Event
Savannah, Ga., Sept. 19. —The im
pression seems to be gaining round
steadily that Savannah will have no
automobile races this fall. There are
but twelve days left for the making of
entries for this race, and there have
not been enough made to insure the
success of the undertaking.
Mr. Harvey Granger, president of
the Savannah Automobile club, is now
in New A’ork, seeking to arouse some
interest in the event, but the news
from there is that there is not much
doing in that line. The manufacturers
of autos wanted to dictate terms as to
entries that the promoters of the race
would not stand for.
Mr. Granger is to see Mr. W. K. Van
derbilt, the donor of the Vanderbilt
trophy, about the advisability of run
ning that race under such adverse con
ditions It is not known what Mr. Van
derbilt advised about this.
It is certain that the local organiza
tion is not going to go into any piaa
that provides for refunding entrance
fees. If the races are run they will be
staged just as they were two years ago
and every man who enters a car will
pay the entrance fee and have no
chance to get any of it back.
STOMACH TROUBLES
Mr. Ragland Writes Interesting
Letter on This Subject.
Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Chas. A.
Ragland, of this place, writes: “1 have
been taking Thedford’s Black-Draught
tor indigestion, and other stomach troub
les, also colds, and find it to be the very
best medicine 1 have ever used.
After taking Black-Draught for a few
days, i always feel like a new man.”
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
ness after eating, are sure symptoms of
stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your
food and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent relief
from these ailments, you should take
a medicine of known curative merit.
Its 75 years of splendid success, in the
treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford’s Black-
Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action,
and without bad after-effects, it is sure i
to benefit both young and old. For sale
everywhere. Price 25c. n. c m.

GIRL “WORTH HLR j
WEIGHT IN GOLD”;
Atlanta, Sept. 19. —If the whole body]
of pretty Maude Stephens is wortii
proportionately as much as the Atlanta
city court says one of her fingers is
worth, she would be, like the princess
in the fairy tale, “worth her weight in
gold.’’
Miss Stephens, who is sixteen years
of age, was suing for the loss of sev
eral lingers, which had been caught in
a piece of machinery in the factory
where she was employed. She asked
for SIO,OOO, and got a substantial ver
dict in which each finger was valued
at over S3OO.
She won the verdict principally on
the allegation that the company was
negligent in placing a child of such
tender years and inexperienced in
charge of an intricate and dangerous
piece of machinery, without first prop
erly instructing her as to its use.
HOW THIS MAN’S GIRL MADE HIM
SAVE MONEY.
The American Magazine has been
offering prizes for the best letter en
titled, “How I Saved My First $100.”
In the October number three of the
prize winning letters are pulbished.
Following is one of them —written by a
man who was influenced to save money
by the girl he was in love with:
“It was all due to the Girl. Before T
knew her the idea that I could save
anything out of my small salary seem
ed preposterous. I was not extravagant
hut I liked to gratify my desires. Self
denial 1 had not tried to practice, but
I have discovered it is absolutely es
sential—the heart, in fact, of saving.
“After we had come to a tacit recog-1
nition of the fact that I was “her beau” j
the Girl one evening said:
“‘How much do you pay weekly fo_-|
your room?’
“ ‘Four dollars,’ I answered. “It's a I
good-sized, comfortable one.’
“ 'Don’t you think you can get a nice
hall room and be comfortable enougu j
for three dollars? You go and do it
and give me the other dollar.’
“ ‘Anything else you wish me to do?’
“ ‘\ r es,’ she answered. ‘You call on
me once a week. You live only a mile
away, but I suppose ride. Walk, and
! give me the ten cents care fare. You’ll
find the walk short if you think of me.
Then every night you come here’ you
smoke two cigars. What price ones?'
“I answered, 'Ten cents.’
“‘l’m not going to ask you to smoke
poor cigars,’ she said, ‘but instead of
two, smoke one. By smoking slowly
and not all at once one will last you
just as long as two and you can give
me the ten cents difference. Then you
ride both ways to business, don't you?
Well, I won't ask you to walk bomej
when you are tired, but rise a little!
earlier and walk down. It will do you j
good and you can give me the thirty)
cents a week that that you’ll save.
What do you spend for your lunch
eons?’
“Only twenty-five cents.’
“ ‘Well, cut out the piece of pie or
something you really don’t require, re
duce the cost to twenty cents and give j
me the thirty cents weekly difference, j
It's a mistake to eat hearty midday
meals—makes one sleepy and dull.
Then you go to the ‘movies’ six times a j
week, you told me. Go three and give
me the fifteen cents saved.’
“Well, I obeyed her and found it not j
at all difficult. I started the first week j
j
in January, 1911. The first week in j
January, 1912, she handed me $101.40.1
“ ‘That’s what you’ve saved,’ she
said, 1 didn't take the money for my
self, but to show you you could save if
>ou tried. Here’s a statement:
Car fares saved visiting me.. $ 5.20 j
Car fare saved walking to busi
ness 15.00 1
Saved on Cigars 5.2«* i
Savrd on "Movies” 7.8) I
Saved on luncheons 15.00 |
Saved in room rent 52.00 ]
$101.46 i
“I married the Girl, and it’s needless:
to say we live fairly well and have a >
constantly increasing balance In bank.
It's the small unnecessary outlays that
eat one up. You can cut most of them
out and save if you will.”
