The Mayor a Barber.

A London newspaper tells us that
II one wants to have the distinction
of being shaved by mayor one must
go to High Wycombe, where they
have just elected barber to that Of
fee. There seems to be no reason
why any one should, but 1t reminds us
of a story. Two hundred years or so
ago the boroughs of over and Al
trincham elected their mayors. The
mayor OF over on his way to Man.
chester called to have a shave at Al
trincham. When the operation was
completed the mayor of over condo
scendngly said:
You may tell your customers that
you have had the honor Of shaving the
mayor Of over"
And you" the barber replied, may
say that you have had the honor of
being shaved by the mayor of Al
trincham"
II was so.

ROCkEFELLER'S ONLY BOSS

The only person on earth that John

woman. and that woman is not Mrs.
John D. Rockefeller. She is his secre-
tary, Miss Adam She is clear-cut.
precise strong, vigorous woman, like
katherine Harrison, who was II. II
Rogers secretary for many years.
Miss Adam looks after the oil king
correspondence, makes all Of his en-
gagements, and is his remembrance,
so that he forgets none Of them. She
goes through his mail every morning
and picks out the letters she thinks
worth while for him to see. The rest
of them she either mentions to see If
he has any special instructions, or
else she answers them without asking
his advice. because she knows his
wishes so thoroughly.
Sometimes Mr.. Rockefeller, who is
getting TO be quite mild and tolerant
sort Of man, is inclined to follow the
suggestion Of some of his correspond
ents or to do as he is requested by an
acquaintance or a friend. Miss Adam
has been with him so long, and knows
HIM so well and has his confidence SO
absolutely that she does not hesitate
to take stand against him If she
does not believe in the wisdom of
what is suggested. Nine times out of
ten the man of $500 100000 bows to
her will.

Iast Miss Adam. She is the most
coldly critical Of any Of the guardians
of the great. and man has to have
urgent business indeed and something
of the highest importance to secure
him an audience with the oil king
If there is one thing above all others
that Miss Adam regards with peculiar
antipapathy it is a newspaper man.

IT IS A MISTAKE

Many have the idea that anything
will sell if advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article
but 1t Is only the article that ID
bought again and again that pays.
An example Of the big success or
worthy article is the enormous sale
that has grown up for Cascarets
Candy Cathartic. This wonderful rec
ord is the result of great merit sue
cessfully made known through per-
sistent advertising and the mouth-to-
mouth recommendation given Cas-
carets by it's friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting pub
lie, by marketing fake tablets similar
in appearance to Cascarets. Care
should always be exercised in pur-
chasing we'll advertised goods, espe-
cially an article that has national
sale like Cascarets. Do not allow
substitute to be palmed off on you.

Geveral prominent poultrymen have
recently attained remarkable success
by using a combination Of wet and dry
mashes. Their system includes a
noon feed Of a light. well-scattered wet
mash and then during the afternoon
giving the birds free access to a dry
mash The main advantage OF this
method is the extra labor involved. In
a wellarranged house when a dry
mash is fed in hoppers one man can
feed 1000 hens in about half hour
AS ordinarily fed a wet mash for 1000
birds requires at least two hours for
mixing and distributing the feed.

ment is reached by the labor unions
and the officials of the Baldwin Lo-
comotive Works at a meeting this af-
ternoon, a strike which will involve
the shutting down of the entire plant,
will probably be called at midnight
The Unions committee will demand
the reinstatement of 1900 employees
who were laid off a few days ago, or
at least show its fair intent toward
the union men by taking back those
who were men of long standing in the
company's ranks.
So serious has the situation become
that ten national heads Of labor or
ganizations represented at the works
are in the city today ready to take
charge of the situation in case the
demands of the men are refused. II
a strike is called. $4,000 enrolled
union men in this city and Eddystone
will lay down their TOOLS The work
ers are confident that If a strike is
called these plants cannot be reopened
with any considerable force until an
agreement satisfactory to the unions
