THE HURRYING BARBER,
Speed Manifested More In the Motions
Than In the Results.

Speed Manifested More In the Motions
Than In the Results.
"Barbers,' remarked the man with
the short hair, ARE born unable to
hurry. Just you go into a shop, as !
did the other day, wanting a hair cut,
and ask the barber how long it will
take. He told me, oh, about twenty
minutesr and said to go ahead.
'That barber honestly believed he
was hurrying, but he couldn't leave
out those little snip-snips about the
back Of the neck they are all so fond
Of doing, and he had to cut the hair as
if he were chiseling priceless marble.
When it got to be about half an hour
I said to him, You're a pretty bad
judge Of time, aren't you? He came
back with something about not want
ing to turn out poor job. zez.-..s..s
1--WE known 1t to happen often in
the case Of shaving. When you tell a
! barber to hurry he dashes around on
the tiled floor at imminent risk of fall
ing, and he splashes the lather into
your eyes and your mouth, but the fact
remains that he takes as much time
as usual to rub the lather into your
face and as much time to shave you.
Il begin to believe there Is some
sort of rule regarding time that all
BARRIERS observe, because have timed
them. Once asked a barber to hurry
shaving me, and he had all the motions,
but took up just as much time as
when he went along at his usual gait
II imagine they believe the customer
will be satisfied with the appearance
Of speed, and that's the reason they
run around so and breathe heavily as
if winded when changing from one
side Of the chair to the other"-New

HOOKING ALLIGAToRs.
A Florida Sport With an Element 0,
Uncertainty In II.

A Florida Sport With an Element Of
Uncertainty In II.
Hunting aIigators at night with a
bullseye lantern and shotgun is tame
sport compared with what is called a
gator hunt in Florida" said an old
Floridiaa Eplo is visiting New York.
Il mean the Feat of capturing an alli-
gator alive and then towing the fellow
from what is called in Florida a ga
tor hole.
"The gator fishermen first find the
hole. which is indicated by an opening
in the surrounding grass in the midst
Of dense growth of vegetation, where
the ground is worn smooth by the al
ligator in his pulls in and out. Some
times these gator holes are in the ma
ture Of a cave in the bank Of stream
and may be fifteen or twenty feet
deep, and if so it is not an easy matter
to get the animal out.
'sThe fisher is supplied with a long
pole with a metal hook on the end.
He takes strong rope and throws it
about the entrance of the hole. Then
the fisher rams with the hooked pole
down the den and waits and listens.
II he finds a gator in the hole he
leases the beast by poking him until
the gator in a rage finally grabs the
hooked pole and is pulled from the
den. It is with uncertainty that he is
dragged forth. for it is not known
whether the catch is large or small
The fisher does not know whether to
get into shape to run or to fight. Out
the gator comes, believing and roar
ing mad.
after the gator is dragged to the
surface he in his rage turns and rolls
and finally twists himself up in the
rope or moose that has been previously
prepared. With the assistance Of the
others in the party the gators legs
and mouth are tied and the gator is a
prisoner
1.-The gator is for the most part
caught in marshes where the ground is
soft and slushy and too wet for either
horse or wagon to enter. The fishers
are compelled to carry their catch to
higher ground, there to be loaded into
the waiting wagon. and the hunt is
ended."-New York Sun.

Just the right thing for her to do. but
after a time she moved her head and
obviously tried TO smother smile.
The young chap wasn't a bit back
ward and before the train got much
further along he was sitting i'm the
cross seat with the girl and chatting.
There was a middle aged woman
in the car who apparently had
watched the whole affair just as
mad. The car was practically empty
and the others in it were reading
newspapers and hadn't paid attention
to what was going on.

The girl flushed up, looked three
times as pretty and the woman kept
on talking and looking stern.
THE upshot of it was that the
young fellow got out at the next sta
ton, apparently to hide his embar-
gdssmeRt, and the girl stayed where
she was.
After she'd broken up the little
party the woman moved out Of the

of Railroad Mileage in the United States.

securing so many thousand miles of
railway-the common carrier of
America-the advocates OF Govern
ment regulation, and even ownership,
will find weapons ready forged to
their hands.
A little more than two years ago,
when open discomfort over such rail
way dictatorship" had displayed it
self, Hartman made a speech at
Kansas City, in which he repudiated
the charge. He then declared:
THE impression prevails that
control more miles Of railroad than
any other man. That statement is
made frequently. / deny IL. It Is not
true. / do not control one mile OF
railroad. | do not believe in any one
man or any one company controlling
vast interests of this kind. There
are fourteen or fifteen thousand per-
sons who cooperate I'm the control OF
railroads and other corporations In
which / am interested"
This is, no doubt, one side or II.
Most people will, however, class this
reasoning with the logic CT the
schoolmen. Wall Street looks, not
for metaphysical distinctions. but for
hard facts, and the hard facts are
that Hartman fully exercises the con-
troll described If any shareholder
doubts II, let him try TO discuss the
policies OF the year in Hartman
company's annual meeting.
1t is not always fair to accept n
telegraphed account OF an off-hand
conversation with reporters. but the
comment ascribed TO Hartman, in
Richmond dispatches regarding his
election 10 New York Centrals board,
was at any rate accepted on Wall
Street as stating the position:
$50 far as the New York Central
is concerned, ! can say this: / was
elected to the board OF directors.
am going to serve in that capacity,
and look after my interests. The
vanderbilts and anybody else can
look after theirs"
As between Harriman's interests
and the Vanderbilts' interests, recent
history of the New York Central gives
a fair notion of which will be looked
after best.
