dealing with what the japanese trans

last year were restricted to some 90

1t is true that the metropolitan fire

extinguishing the flames, but rather to
that of preserving from incarceration

THE PRESIDENTS NAP.
He Takes It In a Chair in His Office
Late in the Afternoon.

President Taft shows daily evidence
of a clear conscience. Late in the at
ternoon, usually between and 8
O'Clock. the executive drops back in a
big chair in his private Office and goes
sound asleep. For an hour he is lost
to the world. then he wakes up re-
freshed and ready for more business.
The President sleeps sitting up. He
never lies down during his afternoon
siestas. He fears that to drop down
on couch would result in loss of
time. He could not wake up so easily,
therefore he simply pulls IL cap down
over his eyes and takes his peaceful
rest.
This does not mean a suspension oil

SUPPLIES FOR THE BARBER.
Some Things, Like Towels and Coats.
Furnished to Him by Contract.

Running a barber shop in big city
isn't as hard as it looks from a bar
ber's chair. A good many things are
taken care of automatically and there
isn't much left for the proprietor TO
do except 70 count his money, and the
cash register does that for him.
To the uninitiated one of the most
bothersome things in running a bar
Der shop would seem to be the question
of clean towels. II doesn't bother the
barber at all. 1t is taken care of by
company which delivers him clean
towels for few cents 6. hundred.
1t Is the business of the company to
keep track of the supplies so that the
shop may never be short of towels.
A large barber shop uses from 500 to
1900 towels week
If the proprietor of barber shop
had to buy twice that number of tow
els originally as part of his investment
and then keep track of them at the
laundry this matter of towels would
be source of vexation, but with the
company owning the towels and keep
ing the shop full of clean towels auto
matically as it We're it hardly counts
at all
Then there's the matter of barber
coats. All up to date barber shops
require their BARRIERS to appear in
white duck coats and wear only clean
ones at that, but the BARRIERS don't
own these white coats and neither does
tho boss. They are owned by com
paay which makes a specially OF keep
ing BARRIERS attired properly.
The coats are leased to the BARRIERS
and kept clean by the company.
Every time barber changes a dirty
coat for a clean one it costs him 20
cents and he has to pay that amount
| from three to five times week in some
shops where they are particular.
| When new barber comes to New
York and gets place in a shop the
| barber coat company is notified and
sends a man around to get his meas
ure. Then it proceeds to make him
half g dozen good fitting coats at no
cost to him.
| These coats follow the barber around
from shop to shop as long as he re-
mains within the territory covered by
the company owning them. If he
moves to another city he goes through
the same performance there.-N. Y.

A DANGEROUS BLAZE.
Oil Shed Gutted-Two Cabooses Dam J..
aged-Property Threatened.

The oil shed was Quilted and two
cabooses were damaged by fire which
started from grass in the Maine Cen
trail yard at $50 p. M. Tuesday eve-
ming. An alarm was pulled in from
Box 40 calling Hose / and and Hook
ana Ladder Co. /.
Tie blaze spread from the grass to
the oil soaked building. which was soon
in a mass of flames. A string of cars
standing on the track next to the
building were pulled out and the tops
of two were on fire. These were taken
to the standpipe near the station and
the blaze extinguished.
The hose companies soon had two
lines on the blazing oil house and pre-
vented the fire from spreading beyond
an adjoining shed and a pile of poles.
There was considerable oil in the
house, but no explosions occurred.
The estimated loss to the shed and
two cars is about $780,
