The other day some Michigan members
who wanted to get a bin through the house
appropriating $500, 900 more FOR one of those
ucver-built public buildings planned scheme
10y which they thought TO circumvent the
vigilant objector. They gave the barber in
the little barber shop under the gallery next
to the Democratic cloak-room 81 upon his
promise that he would detan Holman as long
rs possible tho next time the old gentleman
came in to be shaved Then they watched
Holman closely. Finally he arose at a mo
mcnt when nothing startling was in sight,
and walked back to the barber shop. Once
within, the barber piled his blandish-
ments. He shaved first as slowly rs
possible. That through he suggested that
the judges hair was entirely too long The
judge thought not; and, besides, lIe was in
hurry. But before he could get out of the
chair the barber had shipped or generous
lccll of hair, SO he had to submit TO n pro-
longed hair-cntting. Then the barber sug-
gestod a shampoo. Tie Judge didn't have
time. But the judge needed it so much
"There" and the cool liquid spurtel over his
head. SO his head was shampooed Alto
gether that ingenious barber used up forty
five minutes IN earning that dollar Mean
