NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, TUBSDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1894.

BARBERS TURN HIGHWAYMen,
Driven to It by the Greediness oy Their
Employers, Who Want It All,
It lacked but a few minutes of 9
o’clock, the closing hour of the barber
shop in question. Tho proprietor had
already gone home, leaving only his
heatt man and three barbers. The, three
chairs were occupied, and another customer was waiting when I entered.
The waiting customer was a young
man, whose frouzy head told plainly
what work hoe wanted done. Hig appearance wasn’t exactly the kind to fill a
-barber with aspirations, especially just
before closing time. The three had evidently sized him up and were endeayoring to miss him if possible.
The most nervous man of the lot,
however, finally gave in and shouted
‘Next!’ Tho young man shuffled over
to the chair and called for a hair. cut.
The barber threw the apron around him
and tucked a towel about the young
man’s neck with a rapidity that _made
him gasp. Then he seized his scissors,
and the next moment the air was filled
with flying: hair. He went over tho
> young man’s head like a lawn mower
"over grass, Ae
' The-other two barbers chuckled’ to
thems¢lves.and—exchanged--occasional
winks. One of these turned his custom:
er out of the chair and began to prepare
to leave the shop. _The third one soon
finished his job and motioned to me in
@ sickly fashion.
“Shave?’’ he inquired in a gentle
voice,
‘“‘Hair cut, shampoo and shave,’ I
replied.
The result of this answer was dreadful. The barber turned to his companions and broke out in volley of Italian. ‘When he had finished, he turned
to me and said it was too late to get all
that work done. I told him to go on,
that I was all right, and he unblushingly replied: ;
“Ah, yest But how much? I can’t
agree to do it for an ordinary trifle.
Ten cents is the regulation tip for a
shaye, and I couldn’t think of doing the
job for that. How much will yon give
me?’’
‘A quarter,’’ I replied rather peevishly.
“Good, good!’? he exclaimed as ho
began work beamingly,
And then the barber burglar rattled
on _cenfidentially. He told me of the
mysteries of his business and how the
highwaymen features of it are carried
‘on in New York.
‘We are driven to it by the boss barbers themselves,’’ he chattered, _‘
want it all. Our salaries are as bad as
those of waiters, We get barely enough
to pay rent, and for good jobs-we have
to pay a commission besides. Take the
swell hotels, for instance. To get a
chair in a shop of that kind one has to
have influence—and influence costa
money in the barber business as well as
politics. That’s why my mate at the
next chair is working so indifferently
just now. Ho knows there ain’t anything in it.’’—New York Herald.
Bravery.
‘‘All soldiers have odd notions of
what is bravery and what cowardice,”
said an olf army officer in a party of
_ talkers. ‘‘For that matter,’’ he added
reflectively, ‘‘all men have, I presume. I
remember in.one. of: the.fights.before4Richmond my company got into a hot
scrap in a field where there were sevéral
trees. I was at the rear with the commanding officer when: the firing began
and hurried to the front at once. On
the way I'met a soldier going just as
fast to tho rear.
‘**Stop there!’ I yelled, with more
force than politeness. ‘What's the matter? Get back-where you belong!’ _
“Can't do it, captain,’ -he replied.
‘There’s 40 to 1, and I was out there in
front, mostly by myself, and I just
couldn’t.stand it,’
‘* ‘Why didn’t you get behind a trée?’
I asked, mad enough to shoot him.
****Cause I’m no coward, that’s why,
and if I can’t stand up and fight fair .
and open I won’t fight’ at all,’ u
“That was a new idea,’’ concluded
the officer, ‘‘and I thought enongh of it
to insist on the soldier going back and
trying a tree, and he did. And, what is
more, he rendered such service that day
that he got a sergeant’s chévrons on his
arms. ’’—~Detroit Free Press. —
Origin of the Cocktail,
The drink known as the cocktail was
invented and named. by Elizabeth Flanagan, the wife of an Irish soldier who
died during the Revolution. She then became a sutler and followed the troo
of Virginian horse which in 1779 wintered at Four Corners, between White
Plains and .Tarrytown, Westchester
county, N. Y. Betsy Flanagan’ set up a
hotel, which the American and French
officers frequented. They would come
in after a night at the card table fora
‘‘bracer,’’? and Mrs. Flanagan would
provide them with a drink that made
them feel as ‘‘fresh as cock’s tail.”? In
time the compound received the name
by which it is now known.—Chicdgo
Herald.
Costly Metals,
The most costly of all metals, save
only gallium, which is worth $3,000 an
ounce, is germanium, which is quoted
at $1,125 anounce. Rhodium is worth
$112.50 an ounce;.ruthenium,. $90 an
ounce; iridium, $37.50 an ounce; osmium, $26 an. ounce, and palladium,
$24 an ounce.—Chicago Record.

the prison visitor,
‘‘Plagiarisim,’’ answered the convict.
