SIDEDOoR BARBER SHOPS.
IT'S Hard to Get u shave In Harlem o.
Sunday If You're n Stranger.

Sunday closing in Harlem extends to the prin-
cipal barber shops. But at some of them 1t ap-
pears to be the same kind of Sunday closing
that characteriZes the average east side saloon,
only a closing OF the front door and a drawing
down OF the curtains. Nevertheless n Harlem

Sunday shave found out recently.
The young man had walked across l25th street
I'm search of an open barber shop. but found all
the curtains down. At length lie came to a shop
on the floor above the street, TO which a short
flight OF outside stairs gave access. Here the
door was closed and the shades down. but
through the corner OF a window the unshaven
one could see that something was moving in
side. Climbing the steps he looked in at the
space which one OF the shades failed 20 cover.
Inside there was every Indication of business.
Only one chair was in view Of the outsider. In
that chair sat n man who was being shaved by q

ments OF the trade, razors, comb and brush.

TO the door raped, and stepped back to the
view point.

lishment. The barber. insan attitude OF con-
sternation, was looking toward the door. The

so. Tableau. Then the spell was brok en-. The
barber ran TO the window and angrily yanked
the curtain across the little opening. A noise
as of much and lively movement came to the
ears OF the, aspirant for a shave, who had re-
treated half way down the steps. Presently
the noise abated. The man inside pulled up
the shades, giving a complete view OF the inter-
ior. lie himself was Ia his black Sunday
coat. The customer was gone. 80 were the
towels, razor. mug. and comb and brush. With
a severe look at the unwelcome visitor the ton
serial artist shook his head. In vain did the
unshayen point TO his scrubby chin. More vio-
lently negative became the head movement OF
the barber. Presently he reached over. threw
himself into a chair, tipped back, and devoted
his attention to a newspaper.
Much mystihed the visitor took his three
days beard away, Ten minutes later he passed
the place again. The door opened cautiously
aud a man emerged. The door closed with
equal caution. The man was the customer
whose shaving the unwelcome visitor had inter-
rupted. As he walked down the steps he nm
gered gingerly a large strip OF court plaster
across his chin.

Charles Peak rode from Oakland. Cal. to Los

sleeping car. Before he went TO bed, about mid
night, he went 10 the smoking room and there
found the porter sound asleep. He occupied a
lower berth, and put his coat and waistcOat in
the unoccupied berth above him. When he got
up in the morning they were gone. He sued the
company and a San Francisco Justice gave him
a verdict. The company conteRded that II was
absOlved from responsibility by its notice on the
back Of the berth check which says: Baggage.

ables taken into the car will be entirely at the
owners risk"
The Justice held that this notice was not suf-
hcient, and that the company must be responsi-

otherwise the whole scheme OF the sleeping car
failed. The Justice says;
