IN THE DEPTH OF WOE

She was a pretty creature as she sat In
the herdic on Monday, her golden locks IN
a circle pompadour of the regulation size
and her cheeks pink, her eyes bright with
the sunshine of some sixteen summers, but
there was something pathetic In the 1u-
nereal black in which she was habited.
Dead black, from the handsome hat or
heavy silk minus flowers and feathers to
the tips of her dull black shoes. but she
was also the perfection Of style AT
Scott Circle another sweet siXteener got
on board the city schooner. She, too, was
richly attired in purple and fine linen lit
orally. and settled herself with much swish
ing of silk skirts, adjusting of flying locks,
then passed her ticket to the pretty crea-
t,lre in mourning, who sat by the ticket box.
There was a mutual exclamation OF sur
prise. and the two rushed into each others
arms in true girly-girly fashion. After the
greetings were over the purple girl discoy-
cred the mourning garb.
.'Oh, Patrice, she is gone?' She gave the
sentence the peculiar infection that makes
positive statement and yet asks ques-
ton. in the fashion Of the day.
'Oh. Jane, isn't 1t perfectly dreadfulI'
quavered Patrice. II nearly cried my eyes
out. don't you know. just can't get useo
to the feeling that I will never see her
again." And bit of cambria was softly
applied to pair of Enthusiastically tear1ui
eyes.
Il am so sorry for you, Patrice. You see;
l have not seen you for SO long, and or

reavement. When did 1t occur? Were you

with mamma? Oh, yes. We were Sit

and l just screamed and tainted, the shock
was so sudden
Jane looked at Patrice little curiously,

THE queen, Of course" said Patrice,
with an affected little laugh. Mamma said

show our sympathy Oh. have had to
rush SO to get dress ready for this after
noon. OF course, quiet calls will not be out
of order. but l shall not attend a single
dinner or dance till the poor, dear queen Is

Jane said never a word as Patrice 1at-
tied on, but she drew back from the girl,
and her head went up in the air in a man

the Anglophobiac order.

The reply that Jane gave was anything

MICHIGAN'S BLIND BARBER.
Sharpness of Hearing Makes Up for
His Lack of Vision.


His Lack of Vision.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean
In Detroit Mich, there Is a barber who
is stone blind. yet does thriving business
in spite of his inability to see. Edward
Max, proprietor of the Cadillac barber
shop. during his blindness. which lasted for
seven years, has managed his business en-
tirely by touch and hearing.
One would think that even customers OF
longest standing would hesitate before go
ing to a man who could not see, but Mr.
Max has not only not lost any of his old
customers, but has added many new ones
to his trade since he lost his sight.
Mr. Max is q young-looking. pleasant
faced man, who carries out his appearance
in his DISPOSITION. He was quite ready to
describe the way in which he carries on
his business in spite of his great handicap
Il can Tel Whereabouts III the shop my

ALL" he said good aturediy. Il know
them all by their step. and when they move
l can tel where they go. Every man, as
you know. has an individual wax. just as
he has an individual temperament, and as
the different BARRIERS in my shop walk
about the marble floor 1 know whether it
is Jimmy, who is nervous, or George, who
is SOW and very careful. 1t is. of course.
easy to tell whether mans hair or beard
Is being cut, the ring OF the ShearS DelnS
very different in each case.
81 can tell when a man Is being shaved
by the scrape of the razor, and sometimes
/ know whether the beard is a stiff or a
soft one.
when a man Is having an egg shampoo
l hear the egg shell cracked and the egg
beaten and I hear the customer go to the
fountain afterward to wash his head
This may seem a little farfetched. but
everything done in a barber shop has some
very characteristic sound, and If you had
been in the hair-cutting business as long as
have you would recognize these move
ments and sounds as do.
II can tell just about what the days busi-
ness has been and what we ought to have
made. My daughter is the cashier. and
when she is away | make the change my

but, of course, l do not know one bill from
another and l never attempt to make
change for anything but 81 bill"
