A Losing Game.

Not long ago a new Turkish bath es-

the custom the promoters went out to
form regular clientele. The accounts
Of what a Turkish bath would accom-
plish were most glowing. Among the
men approached was a German saloon
ist. His complaint was obesity, as was
shown by the fact that he was below
the average height and weighed 200
pounds.

BARRIERS Hair Cut.

"Wished I had time to so out and get
my hair cut" remarked a barber as he
removed part of the lather 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 on ''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?"
ooh, I'd trust them, all right!' said
the barber. ''It isn't that, but you
hardly ever see barber getting his
hair cut in his own place. The other
BARRIERS all like to so home promptly
at quitting time, and if one of us gets
work done during the day there is sure
to be a rush about that time, and it
makes a customer sore if he has to
wait with two BARRIERS right here and
not waiting on him. He doesn't like to
wait around while one barber cuts an
other BARRIERS hair. cleveland Plain

tn. Axiai Eotat.on Of Venus.

For Owes tVo centuries it was gener-
a!ly excepted that, like the earth, the
planet Venus rotated on it's axis in a
little less than twentyfour hours, but
since Schiaparelli after long and care
full observation of the planet suggest
ed that the actual rotation period was
between six and nine months astrOn-
omers have devoted much attention to
this matter. In the Observatory Mr..
Denning sums up the available evil
dence on the point and can only con-
clude that this particular problem still
defies solution. Life On Venus would
be very different from life on the earth
should the planets avail rotation be,
as Schiaparelli asserted, identical with
the period of it's revolution round the
sun, as in that case the same hemi-
sphere would always be turned to the
sun and enjoy perpetual day, while the
opposite hemisphere would be doomed
to eternal uight.

Quay and His Letters.

The late Senator NJ S. Quay of Penn
sylvania kept all the letters his constit-
uents wrote to him asking for favors.
He had stacks of them when his last
fight for the senate came along. Then
he sorted out the letters, eliminating
those from people who were dead, and
on the back of each letter wrote:
Dear John or Bill-Do you remember
when you wrote me this letter and do you
remember that I did what was asked? I
want your help now in my fight for the
senate. Can I have it?
The politicians in Pennsylvania say
those letters, mailed to the original
senders with Quay's request on the
backs of them, had as much as any one
thing to do with Quay's winning his
Enthusiastically Evening Post.

trouble to make some Investigations as

daytime, when the streets are filed, no
one has time for more than glance at
the displays. But at night, and partfc-
ularly late at night, while there are
fewer people out, they are not in i
hurry and many Of them stop to exam
inc critically the goods shown. l have
frequently seen men and women, too,
who were window shopping before my
