MOST UNKINDEST CUT OF ALL
Victim Orders Shave Only, but Gets
Cash, Too.
Climax Reached When ''TOnsOrfaI
Artist Attempts to Charge for
Healing Wound.

It's bad enough 10 have the barber cut
you when you're enjoying the luxury Of a
real 15-cent shave, but when he charges
you 50 cents to stop the life fluid from
leaving you. it is time to cali in the po-
lice At least, this is the opinion Of ". c.
Connor, an employe of the Government
Printing Office.
Conner went into the shop Of Gus
Kliener-who has a pane appropriate to
his trade--at 2l4 Sixth street, to get the
down removed. He settled comfortably
into the chair to enjoy the operation, and
the tonsorialist went to work. But ere
the shave was completed, To- in the words
OF the old doggereI. "the razor slipped
and cut his lip OF some other portion Of
his physiognomy.
BARRIERS. like all artists, are given 70
nerves; and possessing nerves. they can
not well prevent the razor from slipping
once in a while. AS rule. they gently
rebulIe you for moving or jumping, and
succeed IN convincing you that you We're
really the guilty party yourself. You
know just how 1t works. if you're over
eighteen and wear trousers.

the customers satisfaction-stiI accord

laetics demanded 30 cents.
There Is a provision in the ethical code
for BARRIERS who live and move and have
their shops in the District of Columbia,
that BARRIERS and doctors are two dif-
ferent things. The object may be to pre-
vent the doctors from losing their live
lihood. which in such a highly recon-
mended health resort as Washington Is
at best precarious.
Connor called the police. and yester-
day Kliener was arraigned In the Police
Court for overstepping the bounds be-

Constant Indulgence In This Comfort

A most injurious habit, common alike

For many a year it has been the
custom for the conductors of the N.
o. & N. E., as well as the engineers
of the same road, to give an annual
picnic. y
The conductors generally held their
picnic at the Northeastern Park while
the engineers went to Heidelberg, but
these places will not witness the usual
festivities this year.
For the first time in twenty-five
years these two branches of the rail-
road service will not give their an
nual outing and of course this fact
will cause great deal of regret among
those who formerly enjoyed These
pleasant occasions.
1t is said that the reason for this
decision on the part of these two or
ganizations has been Brought about
by the announcemeW of the road off
cials to increase the rates and not be
ing willing to stand the raise it was
decided to cW out the picnics.
