The New Haven Business Mems Ex-
position was so successful last year
that there is reason to expect still great
er success for the one that is soon to
be held. The people all around New
Haven seem to be much interested in
it, and the papers in other places are
paying attention to it. Especially ade-
quate and generous is the editorial
comment of the Bridgeport Standard,
which says: The people who attended
the occasion last year know that there
viii be an effort to make the one this
year more attractive still and SO there
viii be curiosity to go again and to
make purchases as was done before.
New Haven is situated very advanta-
geously for such an exhibit. 1t is sur
rounded on three sides by rich manu-
featuring and agricultural country
with which it is connected by many
railroad lines, both steam and trolley.
1t is the natural business center of the
lower middle section of the State and
all roads lead to it from all directions.
Its business men united very success
fully a year ago upon this enterprise
and with that experience to improve
upon there is no doubt that they will
make the exposition a still greater
success this year. AS business mems
substitute for "old home week" this
seems to be successful everywhere and
perhaps Bridgeport might do some-
thing of the sort that would be of adj
vantage hereafter. Bridgeport has a
business mems organization which has
all the ability and enterprise needed to
put through such a plan and the ex-
ample of New Haven is certainly worth
consideration.
Nothing mean about this. 1t is only
fair to wish Bridgeport a shining sue
cess if she decides to have Business
Mems Exposition.

JHoNNY CHOSE LEAST OF TWO
EVILS.

Johnny said Mrs. Glissop, survey
ing her offspring thoughtfully, II must
cut your hair. It's a-getting too long"
Nine years old Johnny Glissop looked
at his mother in dismay. Jaw, it amt
too long" he whined.
1T is, too, said his mother, pausing
in her dish drying to ruffle the name
that hung down on the boys neck. II
can't bother with it now, but l must
cut it when you come home from
school-and you come right straight
home, too. You hear me?" .. -
"Yesm,' said Johnny, ruefully Say,
maw," he continued, "can't I have the
barber cut it this time? The other
boys do

away on BARRIERS" replied Mrs Glissop.

that gripped his locks between their
blades and dragged at the hair roots so
excrutiatingly; the comb whose sharp
teeth raked his scalp; the nippings of
his flesh, the digs from the scissors
points and the raps that he got to
make him sit still!
Soon the school bell began to ring
and Johnny sadly and reluctantly start
cd out. On his way he overlook Jim
Waters, Cory Pegram and Willie Pat
terson. All three of them, he noted en-
viously, had fine evenly clipped polls.
Their mothers didn't cut their hair.
He brooded on this all through school
time. He was still brooding over it on
the way home, when he almost ran into
the gay barber pole before Sim Doug
las shop.
Johnny stopped and peered in
through the glass of the door. Sim was
reclining in his own magnificent chair,
reading q pink paper. There was no
che else In the shop. Johnny hesitated
an instant longer and then pressed the
latch and walked boldly i'll. ~
Hello, Sud-" said the barber, turn
ing his head, Whats wanted?"

Il want haircut" said Johnny.
I thought it might be shave you
needed" SAID Sim, jOcularly.
He seated Johnny in the magnificent
chair, he tucked a cloth deftly around
his neck and swapping his scissirs brisk
~ once or twice went to work.
On, the bliss of it! The firmness and
gentleness of Sims soft fingers as they
adjusted the bullet head! The. quick
shipping of the sharp shears and the
painiessness of the whole operation!
Sims comb did not rake the scalp.
Sims shears did not pull and tug at
the hair roots. And then the facination
of watching the process in the big mir
ror in front and the wonder of the ruby
Bohemian glass bottles and metal stop
pered walls of strange essences! 1t
seemed like dream. and presently a
cool and pleasantly tickling machine
was pressed to the back of his head
and went creeping up and down. 1t
was the clipper.
Then Sim took up one of the glass
bottles, shook it into his palm and be-
gan to rub Johnny's head. a delicious
fragrance filled the air-the odors of
Araby the blest.
There" said Sim, after brisk fric-
ton of the brushes. Now you look
something like"
Charge it, said Johnny.
What" exclaimed the barber.
Charge it to paw" said Johnny, and
walked out.
Half an hour later Johnny and his
father were together in the Woodshed
of the Glissop home. The elder Glis-
sop had seated himself on Il soap box
and held Johnny firmly by one arm. He
also held the stave of a saltmaekeral
pail that was collapsed in corner of
| the shed. .. IL
"Have you got anything to say?" de-
manded the father, sternly.
mo, sir" quavered Johnny.
Nothing to say Ell? Didn't you know
it was wrong?" -.
Yes, SIR" said Johnny, trembling.

Prussia is doing well financially. In
lie year 1901 she had to face an ex
cess Of expenditures over revenues
amounting to $9,375,0OO. The Minister
of Finance promptly announced a de-
( felt of nearly nine millions for 1902;
but the fates were kind, and instead,
by careful management, he was able to
show a surplus of three millions and
tlree-quarters. In 1903, Herr Won
Rheinbaben was even more pessiinis-
Lie, looking forward to deficit OF
s17,l5o,000. Thanks to an unexpected
increase lin the earnings of the Govern
naant railroads. this threatened loss
was turned into surplus of nearly
SIG 100000. The year 1904 will show a
surplus of fully ten millions. and the
prospects for 1905 are quite as encour-
aging. Financially, Prussia is far til:
strongest, relatively and actually, CT
the states OF the German Confedera-
ton.

There must be special angels whose
duty it is to care for little children,
rightly says a writer in the Danbury
News. '.They run about our city
streets and hills, lean out of windows,
climb picket fences, run in front of the
trolley cars, get in the way of teams,
and find hundred places of peril ev-
cry day. They are all trust and con-
fidence and cheer. 1t is not case
of know nothing, fear nothing, but a
case % sprightly hazard that yields
them no injury. Adults are shocked by
the possibilities of their periIous situa-
tions, women scream and almost faint,
but the child, in the face of hair
breadth escapes, smiles. Perhaps it is
the absence of fear that saves him.
The absence Of fear would make great
deal Of difference in the affairs Of this
world"
