INVEST IN BARBER SHOPS.
A Dozen New York Shops Owned by
Two Brothers Not BARRIERS.

Two brothers, manufacturers by
trado and utterly unacquainted with
the barbering business, have chosen
barber shops as an Investment for
their surplus capital. They might
have put more money into their reg
ular business or invested In stocks,
mines or what not, but looking over
the business field in New York they
decided that they could not do better
than go into barbering.
The brothers now own nearly q
dozen shops and employ about sixty
BARRIERS. Their business at first lay
In the downtown business district
only, but not long ago they bought
the good will of a shop pretty well
uptown. One OF the BARRIERS en-
ployed in the shop would have been
glad to buy it, but the brothers out.
bid him.
Each shop owned by these non
professional, BARRIERS has q manager
himself a practical barber, who keeps
an eye on the business, and when the
place is crowded Yields razor or
scissors himself. There is a general
manager who visits all the shops
from time to time and keeps an eye
upon accounts and receipts.
Once week the receipts and
checks from all the shops are taken
to the head shop downtown, and
there the whole weeks business is
put through a clearing house pro-
cess. On Saturday everybody is paid
OF in each shop, and II the receipts
In hand at any shop are not enough
for the purpose the deficit is made up
from the head shop. Two days re-
ceipts are left in each shop for the
payment of weekly wages, and this
is usually enough for the purpose.
Wholesale barbering pays pretty
we'll because the owner OF dozen
shops can buy supplies at the lowest
prices, and having plenty of capital
Is able 10 get favorable rates in build
ings where the shops are situated.
The dozen shop concern has also
another advantage over the self-em-
ploying barber with single shop.
The success OF the business as a
whole is not dependent upon local
conditions in any one part OF the
city.
All sorts OF things happen to boost
or depress trade In an Individual
shop, but the whole dozen do not
suffer at once. II Ia easy also when
business slackens in one shop to
transfer at least one barber from Il
to another where the men are rather
too busy.
II shops are near together Il is
possible at specially busy hour TO
call barber from a noighboring
shop. Profits are not great in any
one shop, for rents are high and
the BARRIERS are well paid. The shop
manager gets better wages than the
BARRIERS. The business grows in a
natural and healthy fashion. When
an opportunity occurs. to buy out a
shop In a region where the brothers
have none OF their own they can
make the purchase without a great
outlay OF capital and without greatly
increasing the cost OF management.
They have found Il profitable To add
couple OF drug stores 10 their list
Of enterprises.

fore the commission. The questions
which Mr. Hartman refused to an
swer concerned his personal affairs
over which the commission had no jur-
isdiction. The Union Pacific had
right to buy stock from Mr.. Hartman,
and Mr., Hartman had right to sell
them. The stockholders might ques-
tion the transaction or the company
itself might do so, but II was the prov
ince OF the interstate commerce COM

tions.
"The subject matter OF the ques-
tions." said Mr.. Milblrn, is not reie-
want TO any matter which the inter

Mr.. Milburn objected further on
the ground that II was an infringe
ment OF Mr.. Harriman's constitutional
right to liberty under article Ave of
the constitution.
Mr.. Milburn denied that the commis-
sion has any inquisitorial power, that
II is designed TO recommend Iegisia-
tion TO congress. II is, in his opinion,
a purely subordinate body with dele
gated powers He declared that Its
only lawful functions are to perform
its duties as defined in the act. which
as interfered by him are only for reg
ulation of rates and the punishments
OF offenders. Mr. Kellogg and Mr..
Stipson ridiculed this Interpretation
OF the commissions powers. They
said under IL the commission would be
powerlehs to act until shipper had
made complaint, Mr.. Kellogg de-
clared that the commission had been
OF great service to the public In exe-.
cising its iQguisitorial functions. Ex-
Senator Spooner also denied that the
commission had any inquisltorial pow
ers, or that II could legislate on the
subject matter Of the questions. ITO

correspondent OF Forest and
Stream, for they are part OF its sys-
TEN, and do not grow independently.
Thoy were not sprouts. trying to
grow into trees, for they never de-
yeloped branches; and the final con-
ciusion was that their only use was
FOR people TO stumble over. How
and why such useless appendages 10
the tree were formed was a mystery
until one day. when drifting down q
deep channel which had been washed
through a cypress swamp, the secret
was exposed.
The earth had been washed away
from the roots OF some of the trees,
and roots In all stages OF growth
were In sight. None OF these roots

Nature intended these roots TO
grow In soft mud, and they were all
right for that purpose, but when

something too hard to push through

ally toward the top of the ground.

GROWN PRINCE FERDINAND.


known the world over as a musician
and writer under the pen name OF
Carmen Sylvia" She. too, is totter-
ing on the brink OF the grave the
victim Of an incurable disease that
would sap the patience OF a nature
less beautiful than hers.
The heir to the throne is Prince
Ferdinand, but he Is 30 far removed
from the direct line that the citizens
Of the country place little reliance in
him. Had they only been fortunate
enough TO have a son from the King
and Queen all might have been well'
but unfortunately Charles and Eliza
beth have been denied offspring.
The original heir to the throne
was Prince Leopold OF Hobenzollern-
Sigmaingen, brother OF King Char
les. II had been confidently expected
! by the Roumanians that Leopold
would take the reips OF Government,
and they were content, for he is
very popular. but unfortunately the
brother OF the present monarch had
no inclinations In the direction OF
governing. Ho declined the place OF
heir and appointed in his stead his
son. Prince Wilhelm.
Again the Roumanians we're con-
tent. but once more they had to sub
NIT to a disappointment. for Prince
Wilhelm, following the example OF
his father, also declined the throne,
which went begging till II reached
Prince Ferdinand. He is younger
brother of Wilhelm.
Ferdinand promptly accepted the
place of heir. and In the event of
the death Of Charles will take tho
throne.
Ferdinand is not personally un-
popular, but HIS wife 10. Grown
Princess Marie is too thoroughly OF
English stock. too completely out OF
sympathy with the people. OF Rou-
mania to be regarded as an ideal
Queen.
Crown Princess Marie makes no
secret OF her intense partisanship
for the English. Nor is this entirely
surprising, since by birth she is al
lied with the royal family OF Great
Britain.
But the misfortune does not stop
there. for II Ia a probability of the
very near future that she will be
the absolute ruler OF the Nation.
Ferdinand is a victim OF consumpt-
ion. which must In q very few years
at most carry him on. This will
bring to the throne Primes Carol,
but a. this lad 10 under 10 years of
age his mother will have to aot for
him as Queen Regent.
But the fear 10 that when he 10
gone there will be no check on the
will OF tho beautiful hsadstrong
Princess. and that, given free
reign, she win consult her own
whine to a point that must event
uaSly involve her In serious dis
pute with the Ministry and Legisia-
ture.
These are both intensely patriotic, \
and no obligation TO the ruler will
ever sufice to mako the claims of
the Nation secondary.
Should such quarrel arise Marie
woud not let the interests OF her son
suffer and would go the limit OF. an
appeal to her uncle. King Edward
of England. 1t is some such action
as this that the Roumanians most
fear.
The 4s years that have elapsed
since. under John Alexander. Rou-
mania began national life have
been stormy ones. and the Nation
has ony survived because OF the fixed
policy OF the rulers to avoid giving
any nation OF Europe any undue
potency at Bucharest
