watched him love going from mo MM
(Ah, would to God had diedD, MX
And prayed to the great all Father MIX
To stay the turn of the tide.
To stay the ebbl And he harkened
And ever the waves rolled on,
Till meadow and garden and hodgerows
could see them never a one.
For knew that my love was dying;
At the turn of the tide he must go.
The soul may not leave its dwelling
Till betwixt the ebb and the flow.
And the people who all focked inland,
They called it great springtide,
And listened and joined in their sorrow,
But knew in my heart that lied.
And my love as he watched the waters
Sighed wearily for his rest.
Then prayed once more to our Father,
For saw that his will was BEST
As the sea went slowly backward
The spirit of one who had died
Was borne on the waste of waters,
For the soul must go with the tide.

Mrs. Periso Attracting Customers To Her
Husbands Shop In New York.
An up town barber, desiring to attract
to his shop q class Of patronage that had
never before been his, hit upon the idea
some years ago of making his young and
pretty wife an operative at one of the
chairs. 1t took o month to teach the young
woman the gentle art of pulling q razor
lightly over wiry beard without making
any incisions in the customers face, and
1t was u long time after mastering this ac-
compliShment that she succeeded in lear1l-
ing how to cut hair without making the
back look like an inverted flight Of stairs.
Once the young woman got started she
showed remarkable ability, and the scheme
was a success. YoGng men focked to the
store and business went booming until
now the barber is training his sister and
his sister-in-law in the tonsorial art, with
the intention of ultimately getting rid OF
two more of his male assistants.
Now an east side barber has come to the
front in a similar fashion, and the Bar
bers' union is contemplating action
against BARRIERS who hire women to do the
work formerly done by men. 1t alleges
that the practice is beginning to spread,
and that eventually good male BARRIERS
will have to labor for about half the wages
they get now. The east side barber referred
to is John Perigo, and he has a large shop
at Il East Broadway. Perigo has IL chairs
in his place and always did rushing bust
ness until u safety razor man made the
rounds of the east side and knocked the
wind right out Of his trade. Then 1t
was that Perigo called up his pretty wife,
Ella, and told her that she must help him
to regain his lost trade. Mrs Perigo liked
the idea very WE'LL and in couple OF
weeks she had attained such degree ot
proficiency that her husband hired the
tailor next door to make her an attractive
gown of red and white blazer cloth and
put her at work at the twelfth chair. From
that time business began to pick up. The
twelfth chair did all the business it could
handle, and gradually Perigo found it nee
essary to move his wife up one chair at O
time until now she has the first chair and
is the chief artist in the establishment.
Mrs. Perigo has learned the business thor.
oughly. She shaves as well as her hus.
band, and the young men say that she has
the softest hands on East Broadway. Her
hair cuts are marvels Of uniformity, and
there is such q touch Of originality in her
work that tho "Perigo CUTS ~ as they are
known on East Broadway, can be detected
instantly. Mrs. Perigo is also master
hand at shampooing, singeing and curling
and can sharpen razor or get pair Of
scissors in condition as well and as quick
ly as any man in the establishment.
Mr.. Perigo says that his wife is suc'
cess with % big s, and that she Is per
manent fixture in his shop from now on.
