Advance in Prices Will Drive Economists to IIomc-

Have you a little razor In your homo?
If not, "a* Bill Kays,” you had better
get ready to shed the wet and briny.
The barbers haven't been sleeping all
these moons. Their think tanks haven’t
been Idly snoozing.
e "Just because a !>arber shop Is a cut
ting emporium," said one member of
•the.tqn$hlM profession, "doesn't-mean
that we have to cut prices, too. Nay.
nay. We will lend more dignity to a
hair cut by raising the price to more
eminent position.”
This and similar arguments were ad
vanced at a recent smoker of barbers.
The resolution adopted said that in
view of the fact that prices of every
thing .pertaining; to the necessities ns
well ns the luxuries of life and labor
and material Incident to the proper
running of a barber shop had so mate-
ihilly Increased the prices of work must
be increased.
"Statistics show,” said the resolu
tions. "that every class of labor except
the barbers hfd an advance In salary
within the past five years. Some were
raised voluntarily, while others were
raised through hard-fought strikes, loss
of life and bloodshed. These are the
best indications that the laboring class
has not been paid sufficiently and such
is the case that confronts us today,
we do not help ourselves, who might
we expect to help us?”
Came Up at Smoker.
At n smoker given by the barbers at
H9 r-2 South Pryor street Monday
night, L. G. Ricketts Intended to speak
bn unionism and the labor problem. His
subject was wrested from him, how
ever, when speakers which preceded
him adopted this topic for their re
marks. Goaded Into desperation, Mr.
Ricketts finally decided to address the
meeting on "Higher Prices.” His re
marks struck a popular chord and res
olutions were drawn up and adopted.
That's why the prices In Atlanta’s bar
ber shops will be Increased nftet New
Years.
Here is the new scale of prices: Hair
cut. 35 cents; singe, 35 cents; sham
poo, 35 cents; head massage, 35 cents;
electric or hand massage, 3/i cents;
whiskers trimmed, 25 cents; shave, 15
cents.

LONDON BRIDGE.
U is believed that In pally Roman
limes there was a bridge of boats over
i lie Thames. This gave place to
►irung, narrow structure built by the
Roman occupiers on wooden piles. The
remains of this Roman bridge were dis
covered when the present bridge «ns
built. The Roman bridge was burned
in 113d, but was repaired. In 1167 the
Norman London bridge was begun by
Peter, rector of Colechurch, In the
reign of King Henry II. It was not
| ompleted until 1209. n period of forty-
t«o years. In 1282 there was a terri
ble- lire on the bridge, both ends burn
ing furiously, while 3.000- persons were
' nuglit between the two fires and either
burned to death or drowned. In. the
fifteenth century there were houses on
both sides of the bride, Just as there
“1“ on the Ponte Vecchlo In Florence
at the present time. In Tudor times
the beads of political offenders were
stuck over the gates of the bridge. One
traveler has recorded the fact that lie
witnessed no fewer than 300 of these
lerrlble trophies Impaled at various
harts of London bridge.
In the days of James I the bridge
i ol l>,-come the haunt of Jewelers and
other small merchants, as we see them
"n the old bridge over the Arno today.
They succeeded the astrologers and
fortune-tellers who had settled there In
Tudor days. The bridge suffered
heavily In the great lire of London. In
'bo eighteenth century all the old
bouses which stood upon it were re
moved for reasons of safety. Finally,
'be cost of the continuous repairs be-
"‘iiie so heavy that the bridge we now
m-i was built. Its recent widening Is
'"o familiar to everyone to need men-
' '"'I. For hundreds of years the trafllc
"it the bridge has been so great that
"ii old saw has It that no one can cross
" without seeing, a white horse. The

*1 saying to the rest of the vanished

VIVA
PRONE TO MIX METAPHOR8.
Edwin Markham at n dinner In New
York said of mixed metaphors:
"When I was teaching In Los Angle*
I used to read every week a little coun
try paper whose editor's metaphors
were an unfailing Joy to me. Once, I
remember, this editor wrote of a con
temporary:
•••Thus the black lie. Issuing from
his base throat, becomes u boomerang
in his hand, and, hoisting him by his
own petard leaves him a marked man
for life.'
"Ho said In an article on home life:
•The faithful watch dog or the good
wife standing at the door welcomes the
master home with honest hark.'
"Another time on a more personal
matter he declared: ‘Our cow has been
milked in the pasture for three morn
ings running before wo got around to
It. We know who the miscreant Is, and
if he does It again we will mention his
name, let the chips fall where they
will/
"In an obituary of a farmer he
.note: ’.The race was run at last. Like
a tired steed, he crossed the harbor bar
and. casting aside whip and spur, lay
diAvn upon that bourne from which no
traveler returns.”’

CLOTHE8 MADE OF WOOD.
The old saying of giving a man a
“white pine overcoat," meaning thereby
the coveting provided by the under
taker as a fast and outside shell, is
likely to be realized in a more prac
tical way. and for the living, for cloth
ing is now being made from wood,
more strictly speaking, wood pulp. The
extreme cheapness and durability
clothing made from this material f
very important Item and will solve the
question of cheap clothing for the
workingman. For a long time collars,
shirts, napkins, tablecloths and other
fabrics have been made from the fiber
of hemp, though this fiber is scarcely
to be called wood, for It is separated
from the woody matter of the stalk in
practically the same manrter as is the
fiber from flax, but, being coarse, long
er and not often used for anything but
coarse cloth, bagging, etc. The material
for w’ood clothing is a different process,
the wood being ground and macerat
ed to a pulp, and when of proper con
sistency the mixture In forced through
holes in iron plates, coming out In long
strings from one-half to one-quArter
Inch in thickness. While moist these
strings are very easily broken, but
when dried and tightly twisted and
then woven Into fabric they become
strong, elastic and durable. Ere long
the department stores will have wood
clothing for sale on their counters, even
if mere!) to show they are keeping up
to the times. And thus another and a
very large use for timber and lumbei
looms up, but In this case culls and
waste stuff can be used, principal^
pine and spruce.
Mrs. Bridget Carey, who Is In
Jail In Philadelphia, accused of
having put two of her children, her
husband und two other persons to
death by poison, presumably In
order to get Insurance money.
The remarkable expression of eyes
and mouth Is shown strikingly.

And lent their kindest service for to
help the thing along.
And (here hs* been days together—and
and many a weary week—
We was both of us cross and spunky,
and both too proud to speak;
And I have been thlnkin'- and thinker,
the whole of the winter and fall.
If I can't live kind with a woman, why.
then, I won't live at all.
And so I.have talked with Betsy, and
Betsy ha* talked with me.
And we have agreed together that we
can’t never agree;
Only we've "lived! together as long as1 * nd
we can
(Published by Request)
Draw up the papers, lawyer, and make
'em good nnd stout;
For things at home are crossways, and
Betsy and I are out.
We, who have worked together ao long
a* man and wife.
Must pull In single harness for the rest
of our nat'ral life.
What Is the matter?" says you. I
swan. It's hard to tell!
Most of , the years behind us we’ve
■ passed by very well;
I hare no other wc man, she has no
other man—
So I have talked with Betsy, and Betsy
has talked with me.
And so we've .agreed together that we
Coni never agree—
Not-that we’ve, eatelied each other In
any terrible crime;
We’ve been n-gatherlng this for years,
a little at a time.
There was a stock of temper we both
had for a start.
Although we never suspected i would
take u* two apurt;
I bad mi’ various fallings, bred In the
ntish and bone:
And -Betsy, like all good wolritn, bad
a temper.of her own.
The first thing I remember whereon
disagreed
Was something concerning heaven—a
difference In our creed;
We arg'ed the thing at breakfast, w
arg’ed the thing at tea;
An<l the more we arg'ed the question
the more we didn't agree.
And the next that I remember was
when we lost a cow;
She had kicked the bucket for certain,
the question was only—How'.
I held my own opinion, and Betsy an
other had:
And when we were done a-talkin', we
both of us was mad.
And the next that I remember. It start
ed In a joke;
But for a full week It lasted, and
neither of us spoke.
And the next was because I scolded
because she broke a bowl.
And she said I was mean and stingy
und hadn't any soul.
And so that bowl kept pouring dis
sensions In our cur;
And so that blamed cow-critter was
always a-connn' up;
And so tnet heaver we arg'ed no nearer
to it* got.
But It gave us it taste of somethin' a
thousand Units or hut
And so the thing ki'i t v.orkln'. and all
the self-same way;
Ai\var* 'Oimtilin' to irg’e. a,id some
thin' sharp to say;
A ad down on us com* the neighbors.
I wliut Is mine shall be mine;
1 And I'll put It In the agreement, and
take It to her tc sign
Write on the paper, lawyer—the very
llrst paragraph—
Of all the farm and live stock that she
shall have her half;
For she has helped to earn It, through
many a weary day,
And It’s nothing more than Justice that
Betsy has her pay.
Give her the house and homestead—
a man can thrive and roam,
But wrtmen are skeery critters unless
they have a home;
And 1 have always determined, and
never failed to say,
That Betsy never should want a home
if I was taken away.
There Is a little hard money that's
In' tol'rable pay—
A couple of hundred dollars laid by for
a rainy day—
Hafe In the hands of good men, and
easy to get at;
Put In another clause there, and give
Iter half of that.
Yes, I see you smile, sir, at my gfvln'
her so much!
Yes, divorce Is cheap, sir, but I take
no mock In such!
True and fair I married her, when she
was blithe and young.’
And Betsy wit* always good to me, ex-
eptln' with her tongue.
Once, when I was young as you, and
not so smart, perhaps.
For me she mlttened a- lawyer, and
several other.chaps;
And nil of them was flustered and fair
ly taken down.
And 1 for a time was counted the luck-
lest man In town.
Once when I had a fever—1 won't for
get It soon—
as hot as a basted turkey und crazy
as a loon:
Never an hour went by me when she
out of sight;
fthe nursed nte true and tender, nnd
stuck to me day und night.
And If ever a house was tidy, and ever
a kitchen clean,
Her house and kitchen waa tidy aa any
1 ever seen;
And 1 don't complain of Betsy, or any
