Something, you know,

That had lived and wrought
But now at last

OLD BARRIERS ARE SCARCE

After Reaching 20 They Usually Retire
or Enter Another Occupation.
Ibid You ever notice, &" said a veteran
tonsorial artist, who had shaved New
Haveners since 1873, to a New Haven
Register man. that you only see few
old barbers?"
"Why is it?''
There are a good many reasons, ="
answered the veteran knight of the
blade. Il suppose the chief one is that
q tarber's hand becomes unsteady after
he gets to be about 40 years old and he
has to give up. A good many BARRIERS
drink hard, and that makes theirnerves
and hands unfit for service, and they
retire before they cut their customers
threats. Still 1 will say that in all m,
experience of 81 years never saw o
man badly cut by barber, not even by
an accident for which the barber was
not responsible.
what becomes Of the BARRIERS afte,
they retire?'
"Oh, some of them 60 to the poor.

Some of them. Of course, go into othe,
business, perhaps bookselling or else be-
come insurance agents have heard O,
BARRIERS who gave up the business and
became butchers This isn't such wide
difference from their former business
-twhat are You laughing at0 as it might
seem. No, / don't mean that they learn
to carve people or even to skin them in
the barber business, but they learn how
to handle blade skilfully and they

The DinSley Bill

After years of effort to Sc
cure to the public a guaran-
tee of buying pure and I'M
adulterated liquors, gave dis
tillers the privilege of bottling
their product in bond under
the direct supervision of the
government. and requiring
that each package should bear
a stamp certifying the age and
quality of its contents. We
have secured the exclusive
agency for Clark's pure rye
bottled under the above con-
ditions expressly for family
and medicinal use. No med
icine chest should be without
an article that the public
can fully depend upon as
being what it represents. If
goods are not satisfactory on

Then they look over the lot and probably
select one out of five or ten and leave the
