have to have money to do 1t with"
II guess you are right" said the
Head Barber, Battling Nelson has
got nearly that much dough, and
there amt nothing so very kingly
about him, is there?"
"Of course, there amt, George
agreed the Manicure Lady. And
goodness knows, George. I have saw
lot of rich men in this city that Is
worth millions and don't know as
ever seen one of them cutting king
" figure. Most of them was fat, the
ones | seen, fat and stopped over.
don't suppose they ever cared about a
kipgly figure, anyhow except the fig
ure of the check they could write
I'D like to be a king for about two
weeks at that salary, said the HeaG
Barber. II would pay up what ! owe
and buy nice farm somewhere"
NO, you wouldn't" said the Mani
cure Lady. You would draw your
salary and beat 1t for the nearest
poolroom. | know you, George"
Il wouldn't If ! ever had enough to
pay up and a little balance" declared
the Head Barber. The only reason
ever make a bet on the horses is
because ] want to make a cleanup
and fix my creditors SO they won't
have TO worry"
It's a bad way to get even" said
the Manicure Lady. II amt no
preacher, George, but ] wish you
would swear off on that race track
stuff. My old gent quit drinking
bourbon, and that ought to be harder
than quitting gambling, goodness
knows. l made up my mind yester-
day when lost that 81 on the good
thing you told me about that | would
never gamble again"

lfyWAS reading in the paper this
| morning" said the Manicure
Lady, that the Prince of Weld
wants 100000 year as salary if he
is going to take the job of King Of
Albania. I don't know how big Al
bania Is, and whether 1t is near Al
bany or not, but it seems to me that
this Weld person thinks pretty well Of
himself Five hundred thousand dol
lars is pretty good picking 1t would
tax the people quite a little, for one
thing, and besides | don't believe that
there was ever king lived nowhere
that could earn $4,000 a week for
holding one Of them there spectres in
his hand and setting on a throne. Any
man can set on a throne, with lot of
wise guys telling him what papers to
sign and what papers to throw into
the discard, and l say he wants too
much sugar"
II say the same" said the Head
Barber. IF the Prince of Weld is
worth 100000 a year. they ought to
pay McGraw or Billy Smith billion.
| amt very fresh on my history, but
if remember right there was lot Of
kings in history that wasn't fit to be
drawing down no weekly envelope at
all. But I suppose he will get the
lob. and hold it, even If his head is
solid bone. It's funny world, kiddo,
and the money is scattered wrong in
il. It makes me sore to think Of a
brainy college professor getting as
much a year as some emotional
soubrette gets in half week on the
big time and now you mention this
fancy salary for the Prince OF Weld.
Things amt the way they should be-
He says it will take that much a
year to cut a kingly figure" said the
Manicure Lady. II can't see that
Kind of talk with spyglass | don't
know what kind of kingly figure he
wants to cut, but the way it always
seemed to me. there are only few
people in this world that can cut a

INSTALLMENT.

Where unloving wives so often drive
their husbands said Mrs. Oliver gently.
The doors OF the other two cabins
opened-and Carrie and Emily, gowned
and hated for travel, came quietly out.
Carrie called Emily, don't you
think it would be safer to wait--and

And then they both turned and saw

Three women to cut her--to lash her
from their safety within the moral fold
and TO put her forever outside now,
Mrs Oliver felt that she too had her
pride She turned to go-and the ach-
mands OF hen weight She fell back
with a little cry Of pain.
"Oh, you did sprain it, cried tender
hearted Racie-just as woman to wom-
an and not at all in the tene she had
come to reserve for that woman.
Yes" moaned Mrs. Oliver, In a mo-
ment OF uncomfortable pain.
You're not going to believe that
are you Racie?" asked Carrie Packard,
with a bit Of sneer in her voice,
why not?' asked Racie.
Because It Is part of her game-to
excite symp athy--and think she is not
playing that game very well E"
Mrs. Oliver stopped and threw up her
head with little gesture Of a forest
creature she had somehow brought into
her artificial modern environment. Her
great blue eyes took on an expression
OF firmness and determination. She
knew now that she must face It all
that she must play to the finish this
game in which u hand had been thrust
on her.

Did you offer any objection when

the murder of James r. Coleman. a

ued this morning. and is being has
tened to get It over as soon as pos

blance of popular outburst against
Mabel or PARKWAY. like that which
caused the seat of the trial to be
changed from Chestertown TO Elkton.
Upon being called TO trial the ne

TO direct that Parraway be tried first

first.

faces they told Of finding their wound

made which helped weld the chain OF
evidence which the State believes Will
send the two negroes 10 the gallows.
BY their efforts and pleas the boys
did much to avert the lynching of
the prisoners when they were confined
in the Chestertown Jail. Last night
they did all in their power 20 aid the
States attorney. Tears rolled down
the face OF Grover Coleman, tho
youngest of the boys, as he identified
his fathers clothes. The audience
grew tense as he identified his

This nanny goat is a nuisance to

"and the Board Of Health should re-

eats clothes off the line, and annoys
the children" added the caller.
The officer informed the woman on

be obtained If the goat were dead, but

them. The officer told the woman

WASHINGTON. March 5.-Preai4s
dent Wilson's address to the ioinal
Houses Of Congress urging defeat oel
tho exemption of tolls to American
vessels passing through the Panama
Canal, came near breaking record
for brevity. The only presidential
communication TO Congress OF a SINH.
lar nature that was shorter was Presi~
dent Taft's message convening the
Sixty-iirst Congress-the tarifl ses-
sion. On that occasion the message
totaled exactly s24 words. President
Wilson's address today ran az words.
The Taft message was the shortest

This does not embrace mere formal
