It was before the days of liberal
Methodism.

gotten as far (within their home cir

lar airs OF the day,
A "Childron's Concert" was taking
place, one Sunday evening, at the
church. At the request Of the happy
faced minister, each child had
mcmorized a Biblical quotation and,
at his request each, one after the
other, gave one that pleased their
elders very much, 1t was EthePs
turn.
well, Ethel" asked the parson,
have you a Biblical quotation for
me?"
Yes, SIR" was Ethel's pert reply
and, looking the parson directly in
the eyes, she said: Gould you be
true to eyes of blue If you looked
into eyes OF brown"

ing Officer Webster. who covers this

number OF New Britain youths In
the service and finds its first class

Just at this time recruiting all

reason is obvious. Christmas Is COM

THE BARBER
by Robert Is. MacEldOwney


! neyy all the BARRIERS, men
OF varied climes and races;
1t must amuse them, now and then
TO carve up human faces;
Then when the fellow in the chair
Begins to rant and rave and swear
To grab the styptic pencil there
And sting him in six places.
When someone rushes In the shop
And says he's in a hurry,
What sport TO use the razor strop
Serenely, without furry;
First. putting lather on his face
So he cant run out of the place;
And then to shave him at a pace
So fast it makes him worry.
The BARRIERS have an easy time
When other men are shaving;
The patrons always tip a dime
Which BARRIERS can be saving.
But If their last cont they SHOULD
spend,
Their broken fortunes always mend
They always come out in the end
All right, though by close shaving
