He was ragged and dirty. He
was footsore and weary. He had
been on prospecting tour and had
found a good pocket. When he ar
rived in Sacramento you would not
have thought he was worth a cent.
He first went to a restaurant and
had his dinner and then thought
he had better clean up. He asked
the alter where to go. The waiter
advised him to go TO the Peerless
Shaving Parlors, and he went.
When he came out he was a stran-
ger to himself. l.. j. Friedell cut
his hair. w. V. Pierce shaved him,
and Charlie Givens shampooed
him. He said that he felt better,
and every one said he looked like
a new man. He was really a hand

he was made presentable was at
