SKILLED BARRIERS
Will Ask the New York Legis-
lature for Board of
Examiners.

If the bill which is to be introduced at
the next session of the New York Legis-
lature by the boss BARRIERS of the State be
enacted, the time will have come when a
man can enter the barber's chair conf
dent of not being operated upon by ap-
prentices. This bill will not only do
away with the cheap BARRIERS, but will i'm
prove the sanitary condition of the shops
There will be no danger of being shaved
with soap and brushes that are not abso-
lately clean. The man who shaves you
must have served at least three years
apprenticeship and have been examined
by State board composed of men who
have served five years at their trade and
who are thoroughly competent. There
will be no political influence by which a
man obtain certificate, and if he fails to
comply with the law fine and imprison-
ment will result.
One thing in that State which has been
more detrimental to the barber business
than any other is the barber colleges.
The so-called BARRIERS that they turn out
every year know little about the practical
side of the business.
The same conditions exist in Louisville
and Kentucky, and the Journeyman Bar
bers' Union is now devising plans by
which this state of affairs may be RENE
died. Were those entering some of the
cheap shops to scrutinize the towels,
brushes and combs they would refuse to
be operated upon free OF charge.

rHR OLD RxILR.

A youth to manhood growing,
With dark brown curls flowing
Der brow and temples glowing,
came acros tue sea;
And now my head is hoary,
But land of song and story
Green Isle of ancient glory
My heart is still with thee.
Thy hopes still chung around me,
Thy bonds forever bound me,
And on all occasions found me
Within the midst of those
Whose love was ever paid thee,
Who met to cheer and aid thee
And at a distance made thee
A terror to thy foes.
Long through this sad sojourning
My heart and brain we're burning
With hopes of yet returning
To Erin, glad and free.
My hopes were unavaihng,
l feel my strength is failing;
And still that bitter wailing
Is drifting DER the sea.
But have yet, thank heaven,
-Four gallant sons of seven
My Irish wife has given
To soothe my life's decline;
-Four youths of noble bearing,
OF spirits high and daring,
Whose hearts are ever sharing
Those cherished dreams of mine.
And should my dear land ever
Renew the old endeavor
Her cruel bonds to sever,
Though can serve no more,
-Four soldiers brave I'll send her,
To aid her and defend her,
And thus still can render
Allegiance as of yore.
have one gentle daughter
How fondly have taught her
OF Erin DER the water
An island green and fair;
And marked her bright eyes shining
AS, on my knees reclining,
l kissed her while entwining
Fresh shamrocks in her hair.
Her mothers songs she sings me,
Sweet thoughts of home she brings me,
The secret pang that wrings me
Her breast can never know
But Irish love, so purely,
Runs through, rest securely
Thereon, and say that surely
Twill never nurse foe.
But life is fading slowly
My friends must lay me lowly-
Far from the abbey holy,
loved through all the past.
The world grows dim before me,
A broad wing closes DER me,
But, Erin, dear, that bore me,
love thee to the last

Golf, which is becoming such favor
lite pastime with Americans, is said to be
great restorative in nervous diseases.
This can be readily understood. Exer-
else and air are tonics for almost any all
ment Insomnia easily disappears when
nerves are strengthened and fed by fresh
air and sunlight. In the Northern and
Eastern States golf amounts to fad.
Down here in old Kentucky we go
slower, but well get there some time.
