Legislation for Barber.

With the approach of the legisIa-
ture we hear an occasional rumor con-
corning some reform measure of freak
nature. 1t is certain that a multitude
of freak bills Will be introduced during
the session. for great is the spirit Of
reform ana marvellous is the faith in
legislation. Among the several con
templated measures is one harbored
BY a representative from the southern
part ST the state who would make ii 4
misdemeanor for barber to put his
finger in customers mouth during the
process of shaving. Doubtless any
such legislation will be cried down as
ridiculous, but before consigning such
a bill to the pigeon hole it might be
well TO investigate. We can think OF
10 existing evil that calls for action
more forcefully than the practice some

Horace Greeley relates that while
on tour through the south of France
he saw farmer cut the grass with
small hand sickle.
Why don't you get a scythe?" he
asked Then you could cut twice IS

The Frenchman dehberated for a

he said:

Higher Pay at Washington.


Few men comparatively who are sent
to the national house or senate can
live welF in Washington on $4,000 a
year; to most of them 1t means fnan-
cial sacrifice; on not a few Of them It
forces the day-to-day problem of how
to make both ends meet'-especially
since the cost of living began to adj
vance so rapidly in recent years To
treble their present pay, with no al
lowance at all for travel. would be only

disgrace of long standing and com

OF which they are chief part.

cabinet officers only $4,000 a year when

Although James T. Egan and Bella
Whiting lived over i've thousand miles

as evidenced by the fact that they came

ried- Egan lived at Seattle. Wash. and
Miss Whiting is or was, until she be-
came Mrs Egan. a resident Of Nova
Scotia. She Is scarcely more than a
child, her age being only eighteen.
Egan is ten years her senior.
The young people had both lived In
Nova Scotia when they were children
and some time ago Egan found profit
able occupation in the hustling West
ern town. He did not. however. forget
his former sweetheart in the interest
of his new employment. and when he
saw that his position in Seattle was
likely 10 be permanent. he wrote Miss
Whiting asking her to marry him.
There was some question as 10 where
the marriage should take place as the
young man felt he ought not to take
the time Il would require to go from
Seattle to Nova Scotia. even to claim a
bride. and it was therefore decided that
the young people should meet at some
intermediate point. Hammond was the
point agreed upon and thus few days
were saved. The bride is an attractive
young girl and Egan is popular man
with many friends
