Rarher'a Hair Cut.

"Wished had time to SC out and get my hair cut" remarked a barber as he removed part of the father from the customers lips with his second finger.
 Time to go out and get it cut?'' re- peated the man in the chair, with the emphasis OF "out." Are you like the man that won't eat in his own restau- rant: Aren't you willing to trust one of your own men to cut your hair!'
 "Oh, I'd trust them. all right!' said the barber. Tt isn't that, but you hardly ever see a barber getting his hair cut in his own place. The other barbers all like to go home promptly at quitting time. and if one of us gets work done Curing the day there is sure to be a rush about that time, and il makes 6 customer sore if he has to wait with two barbers right here and not waiting on him.

Travelinu Sand Hills.

On the coast of Pomerania there are large tracts of sand heaped up by the wind, hundreds of yards in breadth and from 60 to 12O feet high, and these hills, propelled by the wind. move steadily in an easterly direction. The speed at which these great hills travel is from thirty-nine to ffty-six feet year. Pine woods, which some times come in their line of march, can not stop them and are completely de- stroyed. The branches are rotted off by the sand, and nothing is left of the trees but the bare stems, which after a few years wither and die

SOLONS END LABORS
SESSION OF FLORIDA LEGISLATURE
COMES TO CLOSE.
Governor Broward Declines to Order
Extra Session and Investiga-
ting Committee lis Changed
by the Lawmakers.

Tallahassee. Fla, May 31.-(Special)
The Florida Legislature adjourned
tonight. .
Rumors were current from the
morning that the Governor would call
an extra session, but these failed of
verification. The rumor was based
upon the delay of the senate in refus-
Ing to act on the bill creating com
mission to investigate the acts of the
internal improvement fund, which was
begun by a legislative committee and
which carried the work only through
the Broward and Jennings administra-
ton.
The report of the committee was not
submitted until this afternoon, and it
was signed only by the three senators
of the committee and two of the house
members. Representatives Reese and
Carter of the house, administration
members, refused to sign on the ground
that the report was not submitted to
them until this morning for signature
and being of a voluminous character
they had no opportunity to possess
themselves of the contents or verify
the matter.
Representative Carter on the floor,
stated that part of the report had been
withheld and for that reason also ne
refused to sign.
The rumors of an extra session were
stillsd this afternoon when the senate
passed the house bill for an inVestl-
eating committee to continue the IN
vestigation. amending 1t SO as to make
the members number seven instead OF
eight and requiring that the members
should be elected by the house and SEN
ate and not appointed.
After a lengthy debate the \ house
concurred in the amendments and cleo
ted the members. making no change IN
the personnel except to substitute KEEP
reseptative Knight OF Columbia, ad-
mlnistration, for Representative way
son of Dade, administration. Mr'
Watson, previously stated that ne
would not serve.
The Investigation has afforded sub
ject for gossip and discussion through
out the session and though 1t is re-
garded as having been inspired for par
tisan purposes, antagonistic to the ad-
ministration, the report submitted by
the committee, as read before the leg
islature today dealt only with the man
ner in which the committee had pro-
ceeded and disclosed nothing. The OPP
position having started the cry for m
vestigatlon, the Governor insisted that
ii should be made complete.
Since the committee showed dispo-
sition to stop after it had been car
ried through the administration of the
present Governor and his immediate
predecessor, it is roughly estimated
that the Investigation will not be COM
pleted under twelve months and that
an extra session of the legislature will
be called to receive the report
