a) < " a " evada * Ci y Daily NSCrip S rey VOL. LXVI--NO. 10316 , NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, TUBSDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1894. Established Sept.6, 1860, by N. P. Brown @Coi 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.
