GETTING A JAP HAIR CUT
Little Brown Barber Is in Many Ways Superior to Palliative Artist
 of America.

On returning to the hotel indulged in Japanese hair cut for the first time, says a Brooklyn Eagle cor respondent. Here you don't go to the barber shop. The bar Der shop comes to you A very serious-looking young Jap with sober hued kimono waiting upon me at my room at the hotel, and undoing his barbarous instruments, deftly and skillfully executed very good modern hair cut 1n a very short time. He did not tenderly rub his hand over thar little bald place on the back of the head (most all old boys have it) and enlarge on the virtues of his inimita- ble hair restorer, and tell you how much brighter life would seem to you if you would only invest in a bottle of 1t, nor did he enlarge on various themes to display his conversational powers, but confined himself strictly to his professional work Tn some respects Japanese barbers are prefer able to those of our country. Possibly this superiority may arise from the fact that as they do not know our language they could not indulge in the customary fairy persihage" if they wanted to.

TRIALS OF GOLFERS WIFE.
Pathetic Complaint from the Pen of
 Spouse Who Is Dragged { Awayv to Links.

There is a pathetic complaint in The King from the wife of a golfer. Her lot. as depicted by her own pen, appears to be a grievous one. She has been dragged away" for a fortnights holiday to a place whose only attraction is it's golf links, and her husband either leaves her entirely to herself or invites her to stag- ger and limp after him through sand hills and heavy grass" until she is ready to "drop with fatigue" The lady re- lates how she sits down exhausted on a little sandhill and ponders on the brok- en VOWS of men and the heavy hearts of wives, until she is shouted away by an approaching party of golfers. The com plaint of the golfers wife seems to in- dicate that the fault is not entirely on the side of the husband Women who complain that their husbands are away all day playing golf forget that in the great majority of the human families the husband is out of the home all day not playing golf, but working hard for the family's daily bread. Moreover, it is a general opinion that homelife is all the better for this daily separation, and cer- tainly the wife who expects her husband to be forever at her side is not the kind of woman who makes for domestic peace.

HAD "oLD GLORY" RIcHTED
Veteran of Civil War Leaves Barber's Chair to Correct Mistake in
 Hanging Flag.

George Currie, head of one of the large business houses of Atlantic City, Is a veteran of the late war of the rebellion. The other day he noticed that in hang ing decorations a flag had been hung upside down on one of the business houses. He was in barber's chair when the inverted flag was discovered. He immediately ordered the barber to wipe the lather from his face and left the shop and hunted up the owner of the house on which the flag was hung and said the flag must be righted
 ''Why, that's my flag, Mr. Currie," l" re- piled the owner.
 }. NO, 1t isn't either; that's the Amer lean flag; it's every American citizen's flag and must never be hung upside down, retorted the veteran.
 A short barley ensued and the business man had the flag hung with the blue field and the stars in their proper posi- tion.
 No American flag floats upside down if know 1t, {" said Mr. Currie, as he went back to complete his shave.

WATERFOWL JOTTINGS'

The hearing of the case of horse stealing adjourned from Thursday was continued last evening before Justice H. T. Dayton. A. w. Skilton, grand juror, presented several wit nesses to show that the boys, Scan- lon, Coles and one other boy not un- der arrest, were seen with MT Doo- Httle's horse driving toward Wood- bury Wednesday afternoon and that these same boys were seen the next morning walking toward WatertoWn. Among the witnesses called were John Hart, France Hoffman, Edward Wooster, Curtis Atwood and Lewis Atwood. These witnesses were all cross-examined by Lawyer Bauby, counsel for Coles, and Mir Leahey, counsel for Scanlon. The testimony of Lewis Atwood was very interest ing, not because of it's bearing on the case, but on account of the fact that MT Atwood was so accurate in his testimony. When asked how far he lived from the center of Watertown he thought moment and answered, Three mile and forty-five rods" MT and Mrs Coles were placed on the stand as witnesses to the fact that Young Coles had never been in any such mischief before, and that testi- monials could be secured to prove his honesty and integrity. Three charges were preferred against the boys, one for unfastening the horse, one for horse theft, and the last for abandon 1 ing the horse in the highway. Attor- lsneys Bauby and Leahey in their ad- dress to the court plead for leniency ] in each case because of the fact that the boys were minors and had, as was proven, no criminal intent. MI Skflton's argument was in direct op position to the one advanced by the attorneys, stating that leniency 1T i such cases was what led to other crimes. Justice Dayton in rendering his decision weighed both sides of tho case thoroughly and decided to binG the boys over to the next term of the superior court to be held October II 1 1904. The boys were held under bonds of $25O each.

KANSAS RUM FIENDS.
THEY HAVE NO DIFFICULTY IN
 GETTING THEIR DOPE.
Jointkeepers, However, Have a Hard Time When the Drys Are in Power-How Prohibition
 Law Is Evaded.

Two heretofore successful methods of evading the prohibition laws of Kansas have come to grief. In one case the state has confiscated liquor shipped in electric light bulbs and in the other Uncle Sam has filed indictments against agents of several wholesale liquor houses and some express agents doing business in the state, alleging that the liquor was sent in sealed packages ad- dressed to fictitious names and then sold by the agents of the express com panies for express charges" Millions of cases of liquor have been sent into the state by this latter method and for sach case so disposed of the agent re- ceived 50 cents.
 The result of all this is that some new method of evading the law must be in- vented, for in spite of the fact that pro- hibition is part of it's laws and that it's political parties stand pledged to it's support any man who wants drink in Kansas can get 1t.
 Prohibition in Kansas is to-day en- tire1y matter of local option and every year at the spring elections the battle is waged.. If the drys triumph the law is enforced as well as 1t can be; If the vets, as little as can be. But in either case the man who knows how can get his drink.
 Topeka, the capital, has alternated between the vets and drys until the willy jointkeeper, never sure of what the spring election may bring forth, hal prepared himself for emergencies bJ 1 having double set of fixtures one suitable for the strenuous use devolvinG l on it when the drys are in power ant one fitted to the peaceful and prosper Ous days of the vets.
 Of course there are no saloors in Kan sas-no one would dream of callins them by that name They are al joints whether the drinks are passed over polished counter by white

aproned attendant or showed through hole in the wall by dirty fist.
 When the drys are in power the lie of the Topeka jointist is hard. His ar rest will mean fine, which appeal to the district court may remit. But, at any rate, it means the conf1scation of his stock and the suspension and con sequent loss to his business, to say noth- ing of the inconvenience of being incon- tinently bundled into patrol wagon and hauled off to the police station.
 Under such circumstances it would obviously be very poor policy to have an expensive and elaborate establishment and large stock. Therefore the jointist reduces his business to basic principles.
 He chooses his location discreetly. His furnishings depend entirely on the temper of the administration he has to deal with. If it is just moderately dry, discreetly dry, he does not have to ob- serve the same caution he otherwise would.
 In such 8 case, in an obscure room, in an obscure alley, or up an obscure stair way, he places two kegs and across them a board Under this board is small keg of beer and bottle or two of bad whisky. On the board are two or three thick mugs and as many whisky glasses.
 This is his establishment. If he is pulled his loss Is slight, especially if he himself manages to get away, which he usually does, having chosen his To- cation with that end in view.
 But, says the Chicago Chronicle, when the dyed-in-the-wool drys are in power then the really serious part of joint keeping begins. No mere obscurity will answer. Dark, deep secrecy is the rule.
 It is then that the man who drinks does not know who serves him. He finds out where he can secure the desired refreshment and makes his way to it through devious and usually ill-smelling ways.
 But, once arrived, it Is not a matter o1 opening the door and walking in. No indeed. He must know the rap, which is circulated around among the drinking gentry who are known as safe
 Once inside, the mystery deepens. A little, dirty room it. Is, with a rough board partition across the middle. This partition is blank except for small opening just large enough to admit the passage of a beer mug.
 There is no one in sight and no sound If the man is wise in the ways of the lawbreaker he advances without com ment and lays the price of 8 drink on the little shelf of the opening.
 Tn a moment his drink is silently passed out to him and his money as silently gathered in. Still standing there is no place to sit-he takes his drink, passes his mug back and. with. put word on either side, he leaves.

GARLIC FOR CONSUMPTION
Its Use as Food Declared by Expert to Be Preventive of Dread
 Disease.

The use of Garlic as food will pre- vent consumption. so says an Italian expert with the euphonious name of Giulio Cavazzani. Tn an article to the London Lancet he claims that garlic will prevent consumption. He thinks he has made this discovery by experimenting on guinea-pigs. It is to be hoped that the Italian physician is correct, but 1t may be another one of the numerous fiukes which medical experts are so fond of foisting. It seems very strange, con- sidering the number of garlic eaters there are in the world, that 1t has not been discovered that such people never have tuberculosis. However, garlic Is a great improvement on creosote So far so good. It is advisable to use garlic as food if one likes 1t, whether 1t pre- vents consumption or not
