And each dark shadow disappear

, And each dark shadow disappear
In the rosy dawn of tomorrow"
That's pretty good salve," said the
Head Barber 1T must have been
somebody that thought a lot of you,
kid But I should think a queen like
you would have got a raft of birthday
presents When my wife was your age
she used to get a lot of presents. OF at
least that's what she tells me now"
Folks used to be kinder TO each
other, explained the Manicure Lady
ITS getting now, George, owing to
the high cost of living or the gulf
stream changing its course, or some
thing, that nobody pays no attention
to their neighbOrs excepting to ask
them to please move over a little.
can remember. and 1t amt long ago,
when every birthday of mine meant at
least dozen presents from this and
that friend.
The way it is now, I am surprised
that I even got this card. I wonder
who sent this card to me- First I
thought that I might have been my
Brother Wilfred, because he leans so
much toward poetry and I thought per-
haps he was paving the way for a
touch. His songs amt selling the way
he thought they was going to, and the
money he got for the first royalties
went like hot cakes But Wilfred
says ne didn't send II, so 1t must have
been some of the boys that comes in
here to have their nails did
Gee, George, II must make them
OlO SplnSIerS sad TO nave so many
birthdays. I am only twenty-siX to-
day, and it seems as if it was only a
week ago that ] had my last birthday.
I remember that day very well, be-
cause the old gent had been out to
some convention of paint manufactur-
ers and came home feeling superb.
He brought a zany with side whisk-
ers along with him, and it would have
did your heart good to hear the pair
of them singing She's Only a Bird in
Gilded Cage Mother gave the
whiskered fellow the gate, and Wilfred
put the old gent to bed. I don't like
to think my brother would roll nobody,
much less his dad. but he seemed kind
of bounteOus with his change the rest
of the week. and paid me five dollars
he had borrowed from me That's
how 1 remember my last birthday so
we'll Just think, if my birthdays
seems to come that close together, how
thick they must seem to old girls that
nobody never led up to the altar, girls
around fifty summers old"
I guess a lot of them old maids is
happier than young girls planning how
to get married and young married wo-
men planning how to get single again
said the Head Barber. Maybe they
don't care to be clinging vines"
Maybe not" said the Manicure
Lady, but a sturdy oak is kind of
nice to cling to paydays."

ALL ARIZONA METERS
MUST STAND INSPECTION

Phoenix, Ariz-, Sept. 29.-Every wa
ter, gas or electric meter in Arizona
must be tested. The state corpora ton
commission has issued an order to this
effect, in compliance with the amend
ments to the weights and measures law
passed b ythe legislature last spring
The amended law provides that the
state inspector of weights and mea-
sures must be under the direction of
the corporation commission in all mat
ters relating to meters. Therefore the
commission has full authority to issue
the order that all meters be inspected.
which it did not have before the amend
ments went into effect
This means that each city must pur-
chase machines for testing meters
There are no machines of that kind in
Arizona at present.
