SHIP SUBSIDY BILL TO BE Advance in Prices Will Drive Economists to Home- Made Hair-Cuts and Every Man Will Be His Own Shampoo Artist. Have you a little razor In your homo If not, “as Bill say*," you had better get ready to shed the wet and briny. The barbers haven't been sleeping all these moons. THelr think tanks haven’t been idly snoozing. “Just because a barber shop Is a cut ting emporium," said one member of the tonsorlal 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 sis well as the luxuries of life and labor and material Incident to the proper running of a barber shop had so mate rially Increased the prices of work must be Increased. “Statistics show," said the resolu tions, “that every class of labor except the barbers had 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 a smoker given by the barbers at 59 1-2 South Pryor street Monday night, L. G. Bicketts intended to speak on unionism and the labor problem. His subject was wrested from him, how ever, when speakers which preceded him nddpted this topic for their marks. Goaded Into desperation, Mr. Bicketts Anally decided to address the meeting on “Higher Prices." His re marks struck a popular chord and res olutlons were drawn up and adopted. That’s why the prices In Atlanta’s bar. ber shops will be Increased next 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, 35 cents; whiskers trimmed, 23 cents; shave, 15 cents.

LONDON BRIDGE It Is believed that In early Roman times there .was a bridge of boats over the Thames. This gave place to strong, narrow structure built by the Human occupiers on wooden -piles. The remains of this Roman bridge were dls- < overed when the present bridge was built. Tlte' Roman bridge was burned in 1136. but was repaired, in 1167 the Norman London bridge wph begun by Peter, rector of t’olechurch. In the i“lgn of King Henry II. It was not completed until 1209, a period of forty- t\v« years. In 1262 there was a terri ble Are on the bridge, both ends burn ing furiously, while 3.000 persons were • aught 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 are on the Ponte Vecchlo In Florence at the present time. In Tudor times the heads of political offenders were >tuck over the gates of the bridge. One traveler lias recorded the fact that he witnessed no fewer than 300 of these terrible trophies Impaled at various harts of London bridge. In the days of James I the bridge bad become the haunt of Jewelers and "tlier small merchants, as we see them on the old bridge over the Arno today. 1 They succeeded the astrologers PRONE TO MIX METAPHOR8.

We know who the miscreant Is, and if he does It again we will mention his dame, let the chips fall where they will/ ... “In an obituary of a farmer he ..rote: 'The race was run at last.

The old saying of giving a inan a “white pine overcoat,” meaning thereby the covering provided by the under taker as a last 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, or, more strictly speaking, wood pulp. The extreme cheapness and durability of clothing made from this material Is a very Important Item and will solve tlte 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 Aber Is scarcely to be called wood, for It is separated from the woody matter of the stalk In practically the same manner ns Is the Aber from Aax. but, being coarse, long er and not often used for anything but coarse cloth, bagging, etc. The material for wood clothing Is a different process, the wood being ground ami macerat ed to a pulp, and when of proper con sistency the mixture Is 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 haw w<vod clothing for sale on their counters, even If mereh to show they are keeping up to the times. And thus another and a very large use for tipiber and lumbet looms up, but In this case culls and wnstc stuff can be used, principally pine and spruce. i v a - ■ r '*A Mrs. Bridget Carey, who Is In jail In Philadelphia, accused of having put two of her children, her husband and two other persons to death by poison, presumably In order to get Insurance money.

Most of the years behind us we ve passed by very well; have no other wr man, she has no other man— a couple of dozen strong. And lent tholr kindest service for to help the thing ulong. And there has been days together—and and many a weary week We was both of us cross and spunky. and both tpo proud to speak And 1 have been thlnkln* and thinkin*, the whole of the winter and fall.

And so we’ve, agreed together that we in’t never agree— Not that we’ve notched each other In any terrible crime; ve been ingathering this for years, a little at a time. There was a stock of temper we both had for a start. Although we never suspected ’twould take us two apart; had my various fallings, bred In the flesh and bone; And Betsy, like all good women, had a temper of her own. The first thing 1 remember whereon we disagreed as something concerning heaven—a difference In our creed; nrg'ed the thing at breakfast, arg’ed the thing at tea; And the more we nrg'ed the question the more we didn’t agree. And the next that I remember was \shen we lost a cow; She had kicked the bucket for eertaln, question war only—How’. I held my own opinion, and Betsy un- other had; And when we were done a-talkm’, we both pf us was mad. And the next that 1 remember. It start ed In u Joke: But for n full week It lakted, and neither of -spoke. And the next was because I scolded because she broke a bowl. And she said l was mean and stingy ami hadn’t any soul. And I'll put it in the Agreement, and take It to her fc sign And so that bowl kept pouring dis sension* in our cup; And so that blamed cow-critter was always a-comm* up; And so that heave* we nrg’ed no nearer to UH got. But It gave us a taste of somethin’ a thousand tlnws as hot And so the thing kept workfn', and all the self-same way; Alwaxs .<om; thin* to trg’e. and some thin’ sharp to say; OCOQOOOO00000OOOOOO0C30O2Q I A"«l down on u* came the neighbors,* And I don’t complain of Betsy, or any Write on the paper, lawyer—the very first paragraph— Of all the farm and live stock that she shall have her half; For she has helped to earn It, through many ti weary day, * And It’s nothing more than Justice that Betsy hns her pay. Give her tlte house and homestead— u man can thrive and roam. But women are skeery critters unless they have a home; And I 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— Safe in the lufmlh of good men, and easy to get at; Put In another clause there, and give her half of that. Yes, I see you smile, sir, at my givln' her so much! * Yes, divorce Is cheap, sir, but I take no stock In such! True and fair 1 married her, when she was blithe and young! And Betsy was always good to me, ex ceptin’ with her tongue. Once, when I wus young as you, and not so smart, perhaps. For me she mittened a lawyer, and several other chaps; And all of them was flustered and fair ly taken down. And I for a time was counted the luck iest man in town. Once when I had a fever—I won't for get It soon— I was hot as a basted turkey and crazy as a loon; Never an hour went by me when she was out of sight; She nursed me true and tender, and stuck to me day and night. *And If ever a house was tidy, and ever a kitchen clean.
