Perhaps the best known of all
BARRIERS who have attained fame
were Arkwright, the imrroycr OF
the spinning jenny, who is said to
have turned to mechanics when the
wiemaking trade fell OIL, and Jcre-
my Taylor, who was brought up III
his fathers shaving shop at Cam
bridge.
Edward Sugden, afterward made
Baron Saint Leonards. was the son
Of a hair cutter in shop in Lin
,o,,a's inn, LONDON. 4 sto-y is tod
to the effect that once when Sug-
den was addressing crowd in the
interest of his candidacy to parha-
ment a man called out to know
what soap cost and how lather was
made. q am particularly obliged
to that gentleman" Sir Edward IS
reported to have said, "for remind
ing me of my lowly origin. 1t is
true that I am a barber's son and
that / myself was once a barber. If
the gentleman who SO politely re-
minded me Of these facts had been
a barber he would have continued
to remain one till the end Of his
life"
Charles Abbott, Baron Tenter-
den, was also a barber's son, and it
is related how, when he was made
a peer of England, he took his own
son to little Westminster shop
and babe him remember it was there
that his grandfather had been ac-
customed to shave others for a pen
ny.
William Falconer, the poet, was
poor barber in Edinburgh until his
poem "The Shipwreck" brought
him renown and incidentally a COM
mission in the royal navy.
Craggs, associated with the south
sea bubble, was barber turned
promoter. He became enormously
wealthy. But when the south sea
crash came his fortune dwindled,
and in despair he committed sui

Giovanni Belzoni of Padua was a
barber with a varied and interest

in England, but soon found more

doubt that his feminine friends (and
their name was legion) did their
best to crafty his amiabie weak
ness.
Richard Cumberland tells US,
saws the London Gentlewoman, that
his inordinate demands for his IA
vorate beverage were occasionally
difficult to comply with. On Sir
Joshua Reynolds reminding him he
had already consumed eleven cups
he replied: "Sir, ! did not count
your glasses of wine. Why should
you number my cups Of tea?" And
iaughingly he added in perfect good
humor, "Sir, | should have released
our hostess from any further trou-
Bile, but you have reminded me that
I want one more cup to make up
the dozen, and I must request Mrs:
Cumberland to round up my score" "
When he saw the complacency
with which the lady of the house
obeved his behests he said eheerily:
MADAM, I must tell You for your
comfort you have escaped much
better than a certain lady did
awhile ago, on whose patience | in

purpose than to make a zany OF me
and set me gabbling to parcel OF
people | knew nothing OF. So,
madam, l had my revenge on her,

cups of her tea"
Cumberland declared that his
wife would gladly have made tea
for johnson as long as the New
river could have supplied her with
water, for it was then, and then
only, he was seen at his happiest
moments.
On his Scottish tour his inexora-
bic demands for tea sorely tried the
patience of Lady Macleod of Dun
vegan, who after giving him his
sixteenth cup suggested that fur
ther supplies in a small basin might
be agreeable to him.
81 wonder, madam" he answered
roughly, vwhy all the ladies ask me
such questions. 1t is to save your
self trouble. madam, and not me"
The lady was discreetly silent
and resumed her task.

His Honor Mayor Fern, is now ready
to receive the mayors of other cities,
or anything in the way of a dignitary
that comes along, and without hav-
ing to make any apologies for the
condition of the rooms in which he
extends to them his glad hand.
Green carpets that look as if Sup
ervisor Jim Quinn had had something
to say in their selection, cover a con-
siderable area of the floor space; easy
chairs are invitingly arranged; the
walls have been tinted a restful but
uncertain grey-gren and robins egg
blue; woodwork has been grained and
slicked up and there are about to be
pictures hung.
Secretary Rivenburgh has obtained
the nucleus of an art exhibit having
scene of the pail one of stately

quite willing to accept the assistance
of the Promotion Committee in this
matter, for the Mayors office, in way

tourists look up the mayor to get a
glimpse of the city dignitary and ask
him questions.
Later a register may be installed,

it is planned to have current maya
zines on tap with perhaps a steamer

The beligerency Of Mr.. West Is
the title OF a near-drana played last
night in two scenes, one set at the

headquarters and the city jail
Mr.. West was belligerent last night
for time he Scowed his wife, son-i1l-
law, and daughter and even attempted
the game with Police Sergt. Beckstead
and Patrolman Charles Pitts, The lat
ter, however, being paid for refusing to
be cowed, won in the game. and West
had to accept the solitude OF the pris-,
on cell ii. ij.
1t all happened, it is said. over a
dog. West, with his belIigerent feeling
twelled up within him, wanted to beat
the dog. To this the son II, law obs
ijected. and in his bell igerency West
forgot the dog and went after. the SON..
Jaw, and with a revolver. This so
terrified the family that the police were
called. When Sergt. Beckstead and
Patrolman Pitts reached the house.
West, at last feeling that he had found
"a foe worthy Of his 41nettle, turned his
attention to the police There was n
little argument in which, however the
police won handily.
The belligerent Mr.. T. West will prob
ably explain to Judge Bowman this
