Since the Chinese revolution a great many Chinese have had their cues cut off, and this has led to the opening or a large number of barber shops throughout the far east wherever Chinese are located, says an exchange. Several progressive business men of Singapore, anticipating this, imported a large number of American barber chairs, and they are now unable to supplies quickly enough. It has also been learned that the Chinese insist on having American hair clippers, and refuse all other makes offered them. It would seem that American manufacturers of barbers' supplies should experience a large increase in their Oriental trade. STERN NECESSITY.

I ^ v j|r 55 III ; Winning j Out | ) By Donald Allen < (Copyright. 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) 1 When young Clf.rence Dayton ! | stepped Into his auto waiting for him t ' at the depot at Short Hills on his re- . turn from the city, h< had just three , miles to go to reach :he family man- * slon. There wasn't the slightest oc- . I casion for haste. He would simply , take a seat on the veranda when he t reached the house and probably fall j asleep. "Hit *er up!" That's what young Dayton said to j the chauffeur as he sntered the car. The chauffeur proceded to hit. As he had just been jilted by the cook at t the Dayton mansion he was ready to . face death. Farmer Saulbury was on his way to l the village to do some "trading," and on the four fingers ot his left hand his wife had tied fou:' strings, lest he j forget. They stood for a quart of . molasses, a can of baking powder, , ! three poinds of sugar and a package of starch. As he Jogged along with his old horse and ri:kety wagon the i fanner kept counting the strings and 1 naming over the respective articles. In so doing he forgot that the automobile Industry of America was still on the Job, and the horse was left to pick his own going. Young Dayton's chauffeur might have been looking over the landscape | on either side of the highway, or he j might have had hit. eyes closed as ; ho thought of the perfidy of the cook who had led him on and on until he { had declared his lcve and then hit him with a four-story brick house. As for the young man he might not ; have been thinking of anything, and had his eyes on the toeB of his shoes, i When both farmer and auto are : properly encouraged there Is a getting together. There was In this case. There was a crash and there was a j smash?shouts and yells, and there they were! The old horse was dead, the buggy wrecked, and the farmer , hoisted over the fence among the thistles. The auto was banged, the chauffeur knocked ebout, and young There Were Some Awful Threat* Made. * i Dayton had a bad limp on him as he arose from the dust of the road. "You've done It now?b'goah you're ( done It!" Bhouted the farmer as he hung to the fence. I "Yaas," drawled young Dayton, with ' an accent that would have done credit to a Hindoo In London. "And why In the devil were you ; here Instead of somewhere else?" de- ] manded the chauffeur. There v. %s more Jawing, and there ; were some awful threats made. By , the great horn spoon, and the little brass spoon, and various other spoons, , that farmer wanted $500 damages, and ] wouldn't take a cent less. He spoke , of warrants, arrests, sheriffs. Jails and state prisons, and he was still speak- ( lng when the auto limped off. Young Dayton never settled things , on the spot?not even when he bought , cigarettes. There was a suit for damages. A week after the accident Miss Mollle Dayton, who had the honor of being the sister of Mr. Clarence, at- 1 tended a lawn party. At the gathering she was Introduced to George 1 Graham, and they were very con- 1 genial. Being asked about the accl- ' dent, the girl made a good witness on 1 the stand. She repeated all that she 1 had been told about It. and then she 1 had something to add. Clarence had 1 secured a lawyer to defend the suit, but the father thought and she thought he had made a great mistake. He had retained a fledgling who had never had a case. He had been re talned because he was a classmate i at college. The father said, and that was also i her Idea, that the young lawyer was i a person who wouldn't come within a 1 hundred miles of making a decent defence. to say nothing about winning, i First of Ameri JitGunner Ccrbln's Widow Fought for the 1 Country's Liberty at Mount Washington. 1 And the first woman who fought for ( American liberty was Gunner C'orbin's 1 i widow, at the capture of Mount Wash lngton. by the Scotch and Hessians.

Now and then hii face ushed, but as it was a warm day Miss VIollle laid K to the heat. When she lad finished her narrative she asked lis opinion of Clarence's chances and ie replied: "One can never tell how a lawsuit nay end.

Up to the day the suit was called he efforts to get young Dayton to :hange lawyers continued, but he was lrm. On the date set, father, mother, brother and sister were on hand at he court house, and presently Miss tfollle got a surprise that opened her iyes. Her brother's attorney proved o be the Mr. Graham she had talked with at the lawn party. Yes, he was he young lawyer who was to plead its first case. Blushes galloped over he girl's cheekB as she remembered low she had maligned him, and if he ocked her way be found her looking mother. The farmer was the first witness on he stand: He bad gone over his :estirnony a nuuureu uuies, auu ill ready to start off with: "Wall, I was goln' up town to buy tome 'lasses and things." "Yes?"

"I've knewed 'em ever since I was Itnee-high to a grasshopper. You keep to the right-hand side." 'That's correct Why didn't you do so In this case?" "I did, sir." 'Then why was the dead body of the horse found on the left-hand side together with the wreck of the buggy? Why were you tossed over the fence an that side?" "The hoss?the boss " "Yes, the horse?" "He must have Jogged over when I wasn't looking." "Yes, he must. Can you expect damages when you are breaking the rules jf the road?"

The farmer was non-suited on hlB iwn testimony, but young Dayton said :o him: "Perhaps I- wt.s a bit to blame In ;he matter for being under such ipeed, and this hundred dollars will it least pay for your old horse." Miss Mollle tried to get away from :he court house without a word to Mr. Graham, but he had his eye on ler and followed her out to the auto ind said: "You know you agreed to shate lands with the winner?" "But why did you let me talk to rou that way?" she asked as she exlended her hand. "And you are to send me all the :ases you can." Poor Mollle could hardly speak a word on the way home, and after the arrival there her exultant brother added to the situation by saying: "Sis, there was but one thing to do under the circumstances, and I did It. Mr. Graham will be here to dinner." "I won't see him!" "And after dinner you will be left alone with him." "I won't!" "And he will plead and win his second case." Miss Mollle denies that they are engaged, but her brother does not tako her word for It. Wanted to Double Up. Robert was about to have another birthday.

Bushire, Persia.?The most useful rehicles for long journeys In Persia ire the palakis and kajavahs the quaintest contrivances for travel to be seen anywhere. These "Persian cabs" are fixed upon mules. Each snimal carries two of them, one on sach nide. They are furnished with bedding. Men, women and children sit In them cross-legged, a painful and Irksome position for Europeans, who usually prefer to ride a horse or donkey rather than screw themselves up !n these boxes. Some skill, too, is required in loading up the mule with Its human freight. care being taken that the two people who travel side by side are about the same weight. If a tiny husband and a fat wife have to go together, his box must be filled up with ballast so as to equalize the weight. Similar care has to be exercised in dismounting, for if one passenger Jumps out without giving warning of his intention, his neighbor is shot to | the ground with unseemly haste. The only difference between the kajavah and the palaki is that the latjsaj) f> .v *> . llil Persian City Gate. tor Is open, while the former la cor- ; ered with a light water proof roof and , la curtained against bad weather.

A successful trial run wts made re cently from Paris to London, about 320 miles, by a motor car driven by a revolving wing, the Paris Figaro states. The vehicle, which was designed by M. Bertrand de Lesseps, and is called the "wingedcar," has the appearance of an ordinary motor car, save that in front It is shaped like the prow of a ship. From the extremity of the prow extends a shaft to which is attached the propeller?or revolving wing?invented by M. Fillppl. The wing is small, strong and thick and revolves within a protecting cage. The engine is of 40 horsepower and rotates the wing by shaft and chain transmission. There is no other mechanism, the wheels of the car being free, except for footbrakes. By the side of tho driver is a single lever which controls the clutch and the forward and reverse movement of the wing. The wing can be reversed at a moment's notice, thereby forming an additional brake. In the trial runs a speed of 62 miles an hour was obtained with 2,100 revolutions of the wing a minute. One curious feature was that the car made no dust. Solemn Warning to Parents. The season for bowel trouble Is fast aprroachlng and you should at once provide your home with King's Diarrhoea Coruial.

The Moody Bible Inatltute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPT. 1. DEATH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST LE8SON TEXT-Mark GOLDEN TEXT?"Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life."?Rev. 1:10. The story of Hamlet and Banquo's ghost It no more vivid or dramatic than the story of the tragedy of John the Baptlat. "And King Herod heard of him," v. 4. Of course Herod would hear of the riilng young cousin of John who was creating such a stir throughout Galilee. His coarse, sinful, Ucentluus, heart cringed at the rebuke of such a life of purity, one that performed so many good deeds, one who was constantly ministering to others as contrasted with the life of Herod, who only ministered to his own selfish lusts. 3mall wonder he should exclaim, "It Is Joim whom I beheaded," and one can heftr in fancy the rising tide of terror that surged through his heart as he must have screamed, "He Is risen from the dead!" The first three verses of the lesson are a vivid picture of how the fame of this young Galliean affected the consciencestricken and guilty-hearted usurper upon the throne. Who was this Herod? In the first place, he was guilty of the Bin of Incest, for he had married the wife of his brother Philip, who was still living. From verse eighteen of the lesson we learn further that the bold and - ?v..Int courageous jonn una reuuncu >nui this evil and as a result Herod had cast him Into prison, and though he may have desired, yet he did not as yet dare to take his life. Added to this Is the anger of a sinful wom*n. j The purest flower that - blooms Is a godly woman. The vilest and most vindictive creature upon earth Is most frequently a fallen woman. We need to remember In this case that Herodlas was aware of the heights from which she had fallen for she was of Jewish descent. She had first married Herod Philip I. then eloped to marry this Herod Antlpas. who was also her step-uncle and who at the time had a wife living. John a Just Man. This precipitated a war which resulted In the overthrow and utter loss of the army belonging to the father of Herod's lawful wife. Why did Herod hesitate to comply with all that Herodlas desired? Verse 20 tells us, because John "was a Just man and an holy." Righteousness Is often a man's surest safeguard. Herod was not altogether devoid of conscience as we have already seen, and this Is further evidence of that fact. Verse 20 adds that when Herod heard him he was "perplexed and heard him gladly." We believe that Herod was seeking some sort of a recanting upon the part of John, that he was glad (anxious) to hear from his Hps some sort of statement that would Justify his liberation and was perplexed over the persistence of John, who, though In prison, never for one moment lowered his standard of divine righteous ness, nor trimmed bla sails so as to catch the wind of Herod's popular favor. That this was John's attitude and that It was known to Herodlas Is evident from the beginning of the verse 21. "and when a convenient day was come." Herodlas was all too ready and willing to selie her opportunity. To evidence her depths of depravity and also her anxiety, note that Herodlas was willing to sacrifice the modesty of her own daughter to gain her ond. The use of the word "herself" v. 22 R. V., Is evidence that It was an unusual thing for this daughter of a queen thus to exhibit herself. Now note the oath of the liquor and lust-drunken king. What an appalling request. What a terrible consequence. What lengths men will go to "keep their word" given thoughtlessly or uttered In the heat of passion. This Is one of the blackest pictures of history. A lust-driven, licentious potentate, a rebuked but vindictive queen, slave of these same passions. Not Real Sorrow.

Herod's sorrow was not "unto repentance" (v. 26) but rather that of a guilty conscience. We need now to return again to the first verse of the lesBon and we con well believe It must have been a sad wall, "He Is risen" (v. 16). History tells us Herod lost his kingdom and that he and Herodlas died In exile. Let us turn from this awful picture and look at John. How different. Thus dies he who was the greatest born of a woman. Thus died one who dared to rebuke evil in high places. One who would not compromise to save his life, and one who was faithful unto death fsee the Golden Text).
