@Shave me Just as quick as you can"
said the mai as he hustled into the
BARRIERS chair. IL am in q great
hurry"
The barber performed his Office in
the silence that marks the excellent
workman, but whether direction
ispurred him is a matter of boubt.
When he had finished, tipped his Gus
toner out of the chair and was tuck
ing the towel about the mock of his
next patron, he broke silence and in
quircd:
"Did you hear that nan tell me to
hurryis
Yes. Why
because | haye known him about
ten years, and he is always in q great
hurry in the barber shop. lie drinks
a good deal, but he is never in hurry
at the saloon. He will 60 from here
straight to Topcr's Tavern on Dear
born street, and he won't 60 out Of
there for an hour. He will not do
any business, and he knows IL before
he goes. lie will simply Loaf there
till he can find no further excuse pos
sible, 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 II comes
to shaving.
"Men always have time to sit at
their desks doing nothing, they arc
never in too much of a hurry at tho
club, they have time enough to stand
for an hour any day on the street and
look at women, they can lose time
in bed and at breakfast, but when
they come to the barber shop they
are in frantic haste. Yet, if a hurry
ing barber happens to scratch them
they get him discharged. A we'll
shaved man is respectable, no matter
clothes he has on. One who
needs shaving looks disreputable, /
don't care what he wears
when q thing amounts to that
much i'll didn't have time to shave
! wouldn't shave at all"
Then the barber moistened The bell
Of this thumb and tried the edge of
his scimctar. snatched q bit of paper
from the shelf, and relapsed into silent
industry.

THE OWL CLUB BALL.
One Of the Most EnjoyabIe Gather.
ings Of the Season.


ings Of the Season.
1t has long since been given up
that the Owl Club is the most rosal
of all the entertainers in this city; and
those who have attended one of lie
receptions are always eager for the
time TO roll round when they will
again be the guests of this socisl Or
g~anization.
Monday night the Club gave II,
annual ball and slipper, and its large
hall was, rs usual on such occasions,
crowded with invited guests. This
time most of the guests were married
people, but in the Club hall they
seemed TO forget their age, and SO
far as dancing is concerned, they were
young again.
The younger members of the Climb
were taking part in a mask ball and
on this occasion could not be pres
cnt. so this was truly a gathering of
old folks and it was so full of life and
merrimeut that had the young folks
in on them they would have
ainszcd at the happy throng
there gathered. Men and womeu,
some of whom gave up their frolic-
some ways years ago, were there and
here for ENJOYMENT, and we are sat-
SIZED they had it.
The music for this occasion WAS
furnished by the Osterloh Orchestra,
he best in Southeast Missouri. The
supper was furnished by that prince
'alerer. NJ. y. Scott, of the Lightning
and il was a real feast he
crvcd. Everything that the APPETITE
'Ould wish for was spread upon the
and TO these who had never
'cfore dincd with the Owls this wss
surprise.
SO well did all enjoy themselves the
,cning and a large slice off Tuesday
slipped away before q
bought of home or sleep disturbed
ny ono of the large assemblage, and
he clock in the stceple struck four
efore all lett the hall.

I am La Grippe!
Grip, for short,
But [ get there just the same.
And the way
l get there
Knocks the stGfing
Out of the annals of pathology.
l am no rcspecter Of persons,
And silk, or satin, or broadcloth
Has no more influence with me
Than a width of
Brown muslin has
Hay for the woman
Who runs around bsre-hcadcd,
Or thin shod;
And the way | swipe a man
Without an overcoat
Is perfectly astonishing!
The air is full of me;
And as a microbe incubator
1 may say, without fear
OF successful contradiction.
That | am beyond comPetiOni
I've got a corner on the
Human system al present,
And I'm working it
For all it's worth!
I and the doctors
Arc having a picnic,
With the doctors
Getting all the gate money!
However, I'm not in 1t
For Doodle,
And | don't care O cuss
What Pm here for.
People find out when they take me:
And there's nc telling
How many have found out
In the past few weeks.
It's a cold day
When l get left,
And We are not having
Many cold days this winter,
Hence
But why multiply words2
You know me,
And if Tou don't you can learn
All you want TO know
BY reference to the families
Which, and in which,
l have worked!
Mighty few Of them
Don't recognize NE socially,
And curse me
For all the crimes in the calendar.
But amt saying a word.
