To License BARRIERS

Assemblyman Lehlbach, of Essex
county, introduced a bill at Trent on
last week to license BARRIERS, but as it
was referred to the committee on mu-
nicipal corporations it will probably
never see the light of day. The bill
authorizes the Governor to appoint a
board of examiners to regulate the
practice of barbering. The board is to
consist of thee members, one boss
barber and two practical j%ourneymen.
Their terms are to be two years each,
and each is to receive Sd a day and
e. expenses out of the fees that it is pro-
vided applicants for licenses shall pay.
The board is to examine applicants,
license such as pass the examinations,
and provide for sanitary improve
ments in barber shops. The board is
to have a president, secretary and
officers.

D~iSlOcated Ankle

Silas Cobb, a son of Councilman
Cobb, met with a sever injury last
Thursday. While climbing over an
organ box he fell and struck his left
leg on a plank knocking it out of
place. At first he did not know he
was hurt and got up and started to
walk, but when he stepped on his foot
it panied SO that he had to hop to an
express wagon and sat down until
several men came and carried him up
stairs and Doctor Cohen vas called

have been SO bad if he had not stepped
on it He will be glad to have his
friends call and see him as he cannot

WILD ExTRAVACANCE.

In affiuence some people roll,
Their whimS forever gratified;
In summer, ice; in winter, coal;
Each day an automobile ride
And every luxury beside.
There are some people, l suppose,
Some gentlemen pulled up with pride,
Who always nave two suits of "close."
The ordinary man you meet
Can't see the use of so much style.
For him an outfit is complete
With shoes, one suit of clothes, one
tile.
He hopes when he has made his pile,
Perhaps. and can the money spare
To have a couple more-meanwhile
One suit Is all that he can wear.
OF course his wife could hardly be
Content with wardrobe quite so slim.
The lovely creature couldn't see
How she could breast the social swim
And keep herself precise and prim
With just one dress of fiimsy stuff
For constant wear, but, as for him,
One suit of clothes is quite enough.
What need has any man for two,
When one is all that he can wear?
One hung away for moths to chew,
An ever present source of care
And to his vanity a snare,
For if he a a wardrobe grand
AT common people he would stare
And be puffed up to beat the band.

Practical Jokes of a Crow.

The crow has always loved mischief,
but his FRANKS have not always been
malicious, as were too many of the
jokes of a bird that bore the name
OF Richie, which as a pet name for
birds was surely not an improvement
upon time honored Dickie. This crow.
which was kept by a lady in Ireland,
used to be fed on biscuit and water
from his mistress window, ard it was
not an uncommon thing for him to
seize the tumbler in his bill and dash
1t to the ground. Sometimes he would
enter a room on the sly and amuse
himself by taking the corks out of bot
ties and pouring their contents over
the carpet or by scattering pins, pa
pers. letters, ornaments and the like
on the floor.
One day he few away with a pencil
n perched on a tree close by. To
punish him his mistress refused to
know him and pushed him away from
the window the next time he came for
food. In a short time he returned.
bearing the stolen pencil unharmed.
except that the rubber end piece had
vanished. Gravely laying it down on
the window sill, he bowed and cawed
in his best style, as if to say, Come,
now, let us be friends again."--Irish

THE RUSSIAN STUDENT.

A @riter In 1.-THE World Today

Russian student and of the life of re-
precision which has turned him against
the bureaucratic government of his
country We nre Informed by this
writer that the university student In
Russia. with rare exceptions, belong,
to the liberal party. 1t seems to have
become n tradition that The students
attitude should be strongly against the
government. This Is in large measure
explained by the fact that the student
class suffers more than any other from
the. arbitrary regulations of the police
( anil censor. Each faculty is provided
with lis s,lbinspector and his staff. AT
{ first / took these uniformed spies for
tanitOrs. but afterward learned that

possible. with the voices of those. who
seemed To he the leaders. In order to
recognize them even from behind
closed doors. In the gymnasia, cor.
responding to our high and prepare
tory schools, the regulations are even
moro strict than in the universities,
and there is no evidence of organized
protest, Likewise. on leaving theunI-
Vcrsiiy, the student finds himself
strnsgling against the bureaucratic
machine. and gradually submits and
accents 1t as inevitable. There IS

WAS GRUELlNG CONTEST

OGDEN, Utah, June 20.-George Gard
ner. of LEVEL. Mass, knocked out Billy
Stiff, of Chicago, in five rounds at the
Grand Opera House last night.
While the fight was or short duration
a great amount of punishment was
handed out by both men, Stiff receiving
more than ne delivered. Stiff was a lit
tie too beefy. but he is a plucky fighter
and can deal decisive blows. If he had
been ten pounds lighter the five hun
dred fight fans would have seen fight.
Gardner was in the best of condition,
much better than he was when he met
Schreck in Salt lake over two months
ago. The fight was the New England
mans from the start, but he received
punishment from the Chicagoan.
At 1855 Gardner entered the ring with
his seconds, and five minutes later
Stiff and his seconds appeared In
Gardeners corner were Chiller Geiger,
al Potter and Manager Gibson In
Stift's corner were Bartell, Jack Barnes
and Sig Hart
William Bean acted as official an
ncuncer and introduced James Donald
son, OF Salt Lake, as referee. Bean also
introduced Mike SchrecK, who was re
ceived with applause, and who is to
fight Dave Barry for the light heavy
weight championship of the world in
Salt Lake July T.
Gardner was several pounds lighter
than Stiff but he forced the fight and
kept his opponent on the defensive.
