Squirrels:
the Kind .uitb bWbiSkerS

Striking squirrel is the inhe-
rent dread of any barber with desire
to do good work and a commendable
pride in his razors.
What's a squirrel?" repeated a Lin
coin barber in unfeigned astonishment
to a question of a Courier representa-
tive. They're not animals. They're
simply fellows ssthat have boards like
small steel wire and for that reason
are hard to shave. They ruin raZors
and irritate BARRIERS nerves.
Amy sort of beard is likely to be
squirrelish. You first find out the facts
in the case when the razor gives off
a sharp metallic ring. Sometimes the
skin of the customer is sensitive and
smarting from i'll usage and careless
work. Then there is a howl in addition
to the razor difficulty.
"A squirrel is an outcast among busy
BARRIERS. He drifts from shop to shop
getting the worst of it in each one. The
men do not care to shave him and give
him the long scrape when the proprie-
tor is not looking. The long scrape is
bringing the razor straight down the
cheek like a lawn mower. 1t hurts the
squirrel like sin and makes him fairly
wiggle. The victim leaves the shop
with a firm resolve never to come back
again.
"One barber who owns a shop has
worked up quite business by a shrewd
trick. He hired an extra man and
laid in wait for squirrels. He made
list of all the difficult customers and
invited them to his chair. Casual
visitors were first sent through this
chair in order to determine whether
they were tough propositions or not.
He took a sharp razor and gave the
sufferers each a first class shave. He
did it slowly and with care. When
one razor gave out he had another
ready. AS a result the squirrel left,
declaring he had the best tonsorial art
ist in town. He generally drifted in
The courier., 1902-04-05

and became a permanent customer. In
addition the squirrel kept Dragging up
the shop to all his friends.
And the hard propositions seem to
have more of them than any one else.
Leastwise this man is forging ahead
of all his competitors.
About one man in every twenty is
direction, and a veteran barber can de-
tect the truth of the case by one hasty
glance. When the unfortunate man
goes into shop the men all soldier,
that is hang back, in order to miss
him. Nine times out of every ten he
never realizes that the BARRIERS are try
ing to miss him.
This squirrel barber I was telling
you about gets all his hardest fellows
to come in before Saturday. The mild
er cases he treats with care along with
his regular work. For the extra time
spent on them he exacts five or ten
cent fee through the medium of some
face lotion or skin massage.
1T Is far Detter TO De DeardleSS or
bald headed man than be a squirrel at
the mercy of the INDECENT barber"

"Of course you were given the free
dom Of the city," Yes" answered
the distinguished visitor. But 1 had

A certain drug clerk had heard the
story of the cOlored woman who on
asking for fiesh-colored court plaster,
was given black by the observant
druggist. When a comely colored wo-
man asked him for court-plaster, he
congratulated himself on his presence
of mind when, in response to her re-
quest for "fiesh-cullah'' he handed her
black. She opened the box with a de-
liberation that was Ominous, but her
face was unruffied as she noted the
color of the contents.

Washington, March 2S.-rhe decla-

COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Retail Distribution Activs-A Squirt In the
Building Trades-The Leading
Cereals Lower.

New York, March 29.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says: Trade ac-
tivities have shifted from first to
second hands this week. Retail dis
tribution, favored by spring weather,
has been very active east and west
with q fair business at the south.
Among the industries new demand
tor iron and steel has, on the whole,
been less active, but production and
shipments have gone forward at un-
diminished speed. The building
trades have taken a decided squirt in
activity.
Aggressive strength in prices ID
chiefly manifested by hog products,
which, 1t is declared, have been ma
nipulated by packers. A more rea'
sonable explanation, however, is that
the high prices for beef and mutton
have largely diverted consumption to
hog products.
The leading cereals are irregularly
lower after an apparently futile ef'
fort at bulling prices. Last weeks
decline brought in considerable ex
port business In wheat, and some re-
vival was reported even in corn
Steady buying and talk of a squeeze
In corn were reflected sympathetic
ally in wheat. The talk of cornel
in July corn was aided by the small
supplies of contract grades, but the
tendency to take profits in anticipa
ton Of the holidays weakened prices
which generally closed lower than
week ago. Wheat crop advices have
on the whole, been very good. thougf
isolated reports of damage in Kan
sas und Oklahoma have been re
ceived. These, however, do not agree
with Bradstreet's reports OF liberia
rains In the southwest and the i'm
proved feeling in business circle
