Where Equality Truly ReIons.

The vice president of the United
States went into barber shop at his
old home in an Ohio village to get
shaved. He was busy talking with
some of the politicians when the bar
Der said: III you want to get shaved
you must postpone your conversation.
This Is my busy day and l can't wait"
The vice president did not dismiss the
barber. He dismissed the politicians
and meekly crawled ino the chair.
This is the law of the barber shop,
inexorable, infexible and immutable. It
is subject to no repeal or amendment.
High or low, rich or poor. the call OF
next" like the bell of Macbeth, sum-
mons the customer to the chair or to
the door.
The law Of the barber shop is the
essence Of democracy. 1t is the equit.
able treatment Of the rich and the
poor alike that makes of the striped
pole the palladium of our liberties.
We may think that equal and exact
justice has departed from the court
and the Senate. So long as It reigns
supreme in the tonsorial parlor 1t is
sign that the fires Of liberty are still
burning.-Leadville Herald Democrat.

A Bright, sueesssfu, Boy.


A resident Of Madison, Ind, said OF
the boyhood of David Graham Phillips,
the novelist:
Phillips was a quick, bright boy,
eminently successful boy. What he
wanted he got always, and he only
wanted sane things-things that were
good for him.
"One day, having a cent and being
hungry. he decided to buy with it
not foolish, frivilous candy-but o
piece Of cheese.
Accordingly he walked into a gro
cery. threw down his coin, and said !:
A cents worth of cheese, please.
The grocer smiled.
I'VE can't make q cents worth,
sonny he said.
What's the smallest you can
make? asked little David Graham
Phillips.
Two cents worth said the gro
Ger. and he cut on that quantity.
Nov I'll show you said the boy,
how in future you may make cents
worth

ME TOO

The "TaII Enders" That Follow Gen.
dIne Articles.
1t is sometimes interesting to watch
the curves imitators make to get the
public to buy limitations of genuine
goods.
Every now and then some one will
think there Is q splendid opening to
hx up something like Postum Coffee
and advertise the same way and take
some of the business.
An imitator is naturally ignorant Of
food values and how to skillfully
make cereal coffee. on scientific
lines.
Such men first think Of preparing
something that looks and tastes like
the original. with no knowledge Of
how the grains should be treated to
prepare them SO that the starchy part
is transformed properly and the val
liable nourishing elements made di-
gestible.
Such limitations may be foisted on
the public for short time, but the
people are critical and soon detect the
attempt, then the imitators go out of
business.
Something like 400 Of these little
factories have been started in various
parts of this country in the past 9
years, and practically all OF them have
gone the long journey" Just lately
n new one has come to life and evi-
IDENTIFY hopes to insert itself in public
favor by copying the style of the Post
um advertising in the papers.
This is free country and every
man who makes an honest product
and honestly labels it has reason for
some recognition, but the public has
the right to know the facts.
Postum is the one original and gem
uine Cereal Coffee, made skillfully
and for definite purpose. It has
stood through all the wars OF the i'm
itators. has won the approval Of the
Physicians and the people
People who really seek to free
themselves from the coffee habit and
at the same time to rebuild the soft
gray matter in the nerve centers, and
thus reconstruct the nervous system,

COW WENT SUDDENLY CRAZY.
swapping Turtle Gripped Her Nose In
Pasture Field,

Peacefully grazing on the farm of
HAIRY GardiLer, near Courses Land
ing, N. J., with plenty OF grass in
sight and nothing to mar the pleas
ures of life, a COW suddenly went vio-
lently insane. The first anybody knew
OF her malady was loud below, fol-
lowed by wild flight, with tail extead-
ed and head high in the air. The sat
OF the herd looked on astonished at
the ungraceful exhibition. but the mad
one continued to race about the field
and to below most dolefully, the
while paving the earth and shaking
her head most violently.
The attention of the farm people
was called to the unseemly conduct
OF the otherwise well behaved COW,
and they discovered that she had been
attacked by swapping turtle while
grazing near the bank Of small
stream which flows through the pas.
ture field. The snapper" had grab
bed her nose, and all her antics to dis.
lodge II were futile. After deal of
effort the farm people managed to cor
raj the crazy COW and knock the tur-
tie into soup shape.

opened. Oyama darted through. He
didn't stop falling until he reached
