and opened up a neat tonsorial parlor
in the staid old Butler county hamlet.
Success marked the first days bust
ness and Miss Boone has made a ten
strike. 1t is even limited that the men
of Maud's Station love to linger in the
comfort of the barber chair, and the
run on hair tonics made by some of
the bachelor residents has been made a
matter of comment. Sea foams are all
the rage and the old-time shampoo is
being revived. Facial massage is also
growing popular, and instead of the
hitherto weekly Saturday afternoon
visit to the man barber of the village
of Maud's Station, it is said that some
of the youths and "old bucks have
taken to having their faces shaved and
whiskers trimmed two and even three
times 4 week.

A traffic official, in speaking of the

The local agent has none. He has no
time to commune with headquarters
and is compelled to act on the dot in
whatever way seems best. If he makes
a mistake he gets jumped upon. If he
don't he gets no credit. He has to go
it alone as a rule. He seldom sees
