Rearing To (i?t lit Prison
Adelaide, Australia, . Fob. 8.?The
natives of Central Australia are
fighting for a chance to go to prison.
The drought which is making all
of Central Australia a hungry and
thirsty land has made living such a
precious business that the black fellows
are eager to get to prison where
they are assured of food, water and
plotting.
The resident magistrate of the territory
reported that natives arrested
for cattle-spearing go cattle-spearing
again the moment they are released
in the hope of being arrested
again. They will confess to anything
to regain admittance to the institutions
which they apparently regard
as more beneficial than corrective.

CHANCE IN BAltREIlSHOPH
Hair Cutters Prosper, While Male
Patrons Lose Freedom
That the barber .shop "ain't what it
used" to be developed in discussions
attending u meeting of the National
Barbers' Association in the Twin
Cities. It has been undergoing a
period of renaissance attended. by
distinct refinements, says the Min?
neapolis Tribune.
The old-fashioned wallrack with
the shaving mugs of individuals lettered
in gold and ornately decorated
has passed into oblivion. The pinktinted
sporting paper which lent color
to its atmosphere has been replaced
by a high-class magazine
The old free-easy Saturday night
forum for men onlv is no more. Heman
talk with embellishments of colorful
profanity no longer is heard.
Barber shop afternoons have the atmosphere
of a bridge party. Mere
men sit sour and sullen and utter
never a word while mother gets her
hair bobbed, or struggle in the halflight
of bathrooms with a new-fangled
razor to make themselves presentable,
with more or less of blood
letting.
Business has never been better with
the barber. Financial returns have
rever been greater. He is becoming
more of an artist than an artisan
each duy.
Coincidence
The expansive man in the train
talked all the. time; the quiet man
un>rwercd in monosyllables.
As he was leaving, the expansive
one said: "Well, Kind to have met
you; fine chat we had; my name's
Welsh."
"tto's mine," said the other.
The talkative man was nearly carried
past his station at this coincidence.
When order was restored, another
passenger said: "That's a coincidence,
both your names being Welsh."
"Yes," said the quiet one; "mine's
Llewellyn."?London Tit Hits.
A dog refuge, "Orphans of the
