and he is always in Q great hurry in the barber
shop. He drinks good deal, but he is never

will not do any business. and he knows it be-

can find no further excuse possible, and then
he will go to his Office. He will spend three
hours and as many dollars in the saloons every
day, and he will grieve and fuss and hurry up
everybody when it comes to shaving.
"Mer always have time to sit at their desks
