AWFUL BARBER SHOP MIsTKE.
Young Wife Mist0ok "Dearie" and
Kissed the Wrong man Said to be
True Story.

True story.
The following story is going the
rounds:
Just as local barber had finished
lathering the face of one of his best
customers, we'll known business man,
there swept into the place a hand
somely dressed young and pretty wom-
an, who, as she rushed up TO the man
with the soap-sudded face, said,
'Dearie, they told me at the store
that you came here, and as | have TO
hurry to catch the train, | had to run
over here to say goodbye She rat
tied this off in one gasp, and STOPPING
over she landed smacking kiss og
the lathered mans mouth. Wiping
the soap-suds off her lips with her
dainty handkerchief, the woman
flounced out, saying as she went,
"Now remember, you must write to
me every day. Goodbye The barb
er in surprise, said, why, / didn't
know you were married. He was
more surprised when the man who had
been addressed as "Dearie" answered
81 never saw that woman before.
The BARRIERS laughter was interrupted
by man who was being shaved in
the next chair, whosaid, THAT was
my wife, Shaving operations were
suspended all around until the secnod
man coul explain. The story was
simple enough.
| The woman was going away for
short stay, and she was TO bid her hus-
band goodbye at his place of business
which is near the barber shop. Ar
irving at her husbands office, the
woman found that hubby was at the
shop, and, time being precious, she
hurried TO the barber shop to say hen
adieu. As the first man she came to
in the place looked, as he lay lather-
ed, as much like her husband as tie
husband did himself, the wife natur-
ally mistook him for her lord and mas
ter. "But why didn't you stop her in
timer" asked the man who had been
kissed. II couldn't, = was the reply,
'because my barber was working on
my ticklish point on my chin, and if
/ had opened my mouth | would GER
tainiy have got cut.
But, of course, didn't imagine she
was going to kiss you. The kissed
man, as If to console the husband, said
"But she thought it Was you she was
kissing The husband. with a
"that's-so," agreed. After both men
had got out of their chairs the hus-
band extended his hand to the man
his wife kissed, and; as the two shook,
the husband said, dts all right; let's
have a drink" And they went across
the street and had several.

FALLING OFF IN
AMERICAN EXPORTS
BROKE UP DOG FIGHT.
Charles Mensey to Answer Charge of
Shooting in Street

Mingled yelDs Of a mug dog and the
growline of a bulldog attracted a crowd
TO the corner of Fourteenth Street and
Ohio Avenue northwest, Saturday night
and by the time the owner OF the pug
Charles Mensey. saloon keeper. arrived
on the scene excitement had reached a
high stage. Mensey pulled a revolver
and shot both animals, but neither was
seriously injured. The shots had the de-
sired effect however. for the fight was
stopped.
Learning today that warrant had
been issued for his arrest. Mensey called
at the First precinct police station and
gave himself up. He was released upon
depositing collateral in the sum of so.
He stated that he had no intention OF
firing at the dogs, but became excited
when he saw his little dog being de-
voured piecemeal. Then the cries of his
children caused him TO still further lose
his head, and he fired without thought
of the police regulations prohibiting the
firing of arms within the city limits.
1t is not believed that Mensey will be
fined when his case comes UP in court.
The excitement under which he labored
when he violated the police rules was
very natural under the circumstances
say the police, and Mensey will have
witnesses TO tellfthe story.

A Novel Golf Club.

A novel head for a golf club has made
its appearance In Canada. Whether or
not expert golfers will auprove of 1t re-
mains to be seen. In the head OF the
club is a slot. in which there is weight
adapted 10 move toward and away FROM
the striking face of the head. Thus. when
the ball is struck. the weight ccme s. In
contact with the wall of the slot next
to the striking face. and imparts an ad-
ditional impetus to the ball The idea,
though by no means a novel one in me-
chanics. is certainly new in its applica-
ticn to a golf club. II is claimed that a
player using a club OF this kind would
have an advantage over another player
using an ordinary club. but 1t Is doubt full
if he would, for the same idea was long
ago applied to baseball bats, and very
few but the inventor ever tried it.
Speaking of the above new-fangled
club to some OF the local golfers, they
expressed the opinion that no club is SO
good as the old kind IL the drive it is
called on to make is accurately ad-
dressed with a good strong arm at the
handle end of It.
