NO" said the barber, that is a

how fashions have changed and men are
now ashamed to have those parts OF the
toilet performed in a barber shop. They
do not seem to have the nerve to ask q

they used to nor do they have it oiled.

and pomades were used. Men wear their

Popularity Of Rubber Plant.
THE rubber plant has seen it's be

THE rubber plant has seen it's best
days in Washington. The informa-
ton was obtained in this way:
What reason is there for the evident
popularity of the rubber plant?" was
asked OF a local florist.
There never was any very good rea-
son for it. The rubber plant never was
attractive because of growth shape or
foliage 1t got its vogue because it was
a quick grower and could withstand about
every hardship except cold. Being a rub

sympathetic housekeeper could almost
drown it with watering and it would keep
green and growing. The Indifferent

same. Drought and flood made no differ
ence to it,. The main advantage of the
rubber plant is that 1t is easy to raise.
II always was an awkward. scraggy.
scrawny piece Of wood. with a few leaves
hinged to it. Palms and ferns require
much more careful and intelligent treat
ment. and numerous householders know
ing nothing about plant needs and plant
habits concluded that these graceful and
elegant bits of nature were too delicate.
Ignorance couldn't do very much damage
to the rubber plant if it were protected
from frost.
"A few persons invested in rubber
plants. The plants thrived and were
curiosities. Other persons invested and
1t soon came to be that no home was
complete without one. Milady came to
look on the rubber plant as a family pet
very much as she looked on the cat the
canary or the parrot. Another thing that
helped the rubber plant is that about the
time 1t was breaking into Washington
sands of silly and other kinds of people
were buying stock in rubber plantations
that were supposed to be somewhere or
anywhere. A great many investors and
their friends bought rubber plants to re-
mind them of the far-off plantations from
which they were to draw. according to
most cases the poor old rubber plant is
all they had to show for their money

away to next to nothing and a twenty-foot
plant can be bought for what one-foot

The Dead Lamp Posts.

EyER notice the dead lamp posts
L. lamp posts without glass where the
glass ought to be, and without a light
on the blacklist night-that surround
the State, War and Navy Department
building? A number of them stand
around grim and forsaken. Each seems
to stand up and call to passersby: Be
hold, / am abandoned. l have lost my
job as >understudy to the sun. The gov
eminent has turned me out

On the south front these vacant lamps
stand at the east and west corners of
the fence. two stand at the south en-
trance, and four more stand by the
grand south staircase. Ten of the lamps
are on the east. ten on the west and
four on the north front.
The lamp posts are tall and ornament
al, being decorated with stars and
slaves and bands symbolical of bright
ness and strength. They may be iron
and they may be bronze. They are
mounted on the heavy square granite
posts that mark the panels of the picket
fence around the. State. War and Navy
lot.
The old lamps glowed until the new
soft, light-diffusing lamps
lately put up in the white House neigh
borhood and out 10th street. and which
are being extended-were installed along
the curb line of the streets that in
scribe the tri-department building.

of the south corridor of the main floor
of the Treasury building. 1t is inclosed in

wander that way. In the middle of the
frame is the following handsomely en-
graved notice:

CUT THE VOTE DOWN.
Showers in the Morning Hurt But Polls
Crowded in Afternoon.

Balloting in the Fourth and Sixth
wards was light up to noon today. The
only reason for the comparatively light
vote polIed seemed to be the condltloa
of the weather, and the hope of the
voters that the afternoon would snow
an Improvement. The second precinct
of the Sixth ward was an exception 10
the rule, approximately 200 votes haV-
ing been polled there at noon
The feature of the mornings vote
was the unusually large NUMBER OF
Democratic ballots cast on the West
side. Heretofore very few such bal
lots have been voted in the wards.
The score was running something ike
four to one in favor of the Republicans,
but inasmuch as the former ratio al
most was unanimous in favor OF the
Republicans at the primaries, the size
of the Democratic vote was arouSlnS
considerable comment.
1.-THE trouble is" several precinct
workers for various candidates say a
number of presumably staunch Repuh-
ncans have called for Democratic bal
lots. There is no way of knowing how
many such votes will be cast, but the
prophets are sure there will be a good
many
A heavy vote in all precincts is ex-
pected this afternoon. and no efforts
will be spared to bring reluctant vot-
ers to the polls.
The vote was light in the shop dis

ing but run heavy all afternoon. The
Democratic vote on the North side was
light in the morning.

VOTERS THE VICTIMS.
Judges Gave Them Sample Ballots To-
day-They're Not Legal.

A number of Topeka voters lost their
ballots this morning because of a mis-
take in neglecting to designate the
sample ballots by the county clerk 9.
]. Zimmerman. At the office of c. II.
Titus, city election commissioner, it
was discovered today that despite in
structions to the contrary Judges in
several precincts had allowed voters to
mark the sample ballots. The law does
not recognize a vote of this kind.
The sample ballots of the Republican
ticket are pink. The Democratic ball
lots are green. The legal ballots are
white. 1t has been customary in the
past to print sample ballot" across
the top of the samples. This year this
was not done.
At the First precinct of the Fifth
ward and the Third precinct Of the
Third ward this morning from ten to
fifteen pink ballots were given to the
voters and they were voted. 1t was not
the fault OF the voters-they knew
nothing of the law on the subject. Tho
judges gave them their ticket and they
voted it in good faith.
Il don't know what will be done
about it," Captain Titus said this after
noon. THAT is for the authority higher
up to determine. 1t was pure careless
ness-and L hope that the voters will
not lose their votes, even though I see
no way out of it."

HER END is NEAR.
Mrs w. F. Schoch Kept Alive Today
by Use of Opiates.

Mrs w. F. Schoch, wife of the pro-
bate judge, is still alive today, but no
hope is held out for her recovery.
Her life is being prolonged by the use
of drugs, and this can not be con-
tinued indefinitely. Physicians who
have been in charge of the case do
not expect her to live through to-
night.
When not under the influence of
drugs, her attendants say, she goes
into commissions, and it is feared that
every such spasm will be the last
The serious illness of his wife has
prevented Judge Schoch from doing
any campaigning during the last few
days and accounts for his absence both
from his office and from the field to-
day, when practically every candidate
is out a part of the time at least.
AS was announced Monday, Mrs.
Schoch is suffering from Bright's dis
ease and has been sick less than
month. She has been seriously sick
only a few DAYS.

A FINE COMP ANY.
Williams Jubilee Singers Delighted
Large Audience at Auditorium.

The Williams Jubilee Singers made
hit at the Auditorium Monday
night. So successful was the musical
treat that the management of the
Topeak Local union of young peoples
societies, under whose auspices the
entertainment was held, arranged for
a return engagement next March.
There was an attendance of more than
1000. This means that the Local
union has on hand about S225 for
flower and hospital work.
The Jubilee singers provoked much
laughter with comic and popular
songs, while selections from grand
opera delighted the audience. Time
after time were the voca1ists en-
cored. The final number on the pro-
gram, the sextet from Lucia" was
particularly pleasing to the lovers of
good music.
so Long, Mary" sung by Mrs
Clara Williams, was rendered in
style conducive to the sideache. An
imitation of a calliope interested es-
pecially the members of the younger
generation present. "Old Black Joe,"
as a bass solo, with the company
singing the afterbeat in the chorus
was a fine feature of a fine evening
for lovers of music.
The members of the organization
are from prominent negro colleges.
They are: Mr.. and Mrs. Charles P
