And worshipped the golden calf.
A babel of tound their veleas nude, as
they schemed and screamed In

Or gave to the sheep they sheared

The golden rnle was put under foot as
they planned and plotted for

And the price of the mess of pottage
rote high.
The brasen sky burned, tbe del uge re

And men were too blind to see why.

That there can ba too much of a good
thing Is painfully proven by the super
abundance of this year’s cotton crop.
The report of the census bureau Issued
on the 2Qtb Inst. showed that up to the
12th December 13,759,052 bsles had
been ginned, an increaae of more than
three million b.tiei over laat-year’s
yield.
With the addition of that yet un-
ginned and ungathcred tbe total crop
will prohab’y foot up over fifteen mil
lion bales
The surplus will be suftlulent to bear
down the aurely shorter crop of next
year.
There may be many this year who
sympathize with the old farmer who
mourned oyer the greatness of hi*
•rops because he feared that his hud
had so “strained Itself” that the next
season tbe field* w«uld refuse to yield
their increaae equal to hts needs.
THE HURRYING BARBER.
ipaad Manifested More In the Motions
Than In tha Results.
"Rnrl>era.” remarked the man with
tbe abort hair, •‘ure boro unubte to
hurry. Just you go Into a shop, aa I
did the other day. wanting n hair cut.
and ask the barber bow long It will
take, lie told me. ‘Ob, atnuit twenty
minutes!' and I said to go ahead.
"That imt btt - honestly believed he
was hurrying, but he couldn't leave
out those little anip-snips about tbe
back of the neck they are all so fond
of doing, and he had to cut the hair ns
If he were chiseling priceless marble.
When It got to be about half un hour
I said to him. ‘You're a pretty had
judge of time, aren't you?* lie came
back with something about not want
ing to turn out a poor Job.
T’tc known It to happen often in
tbe cose of shaving. When you tell a
barber to hurry he dashes around on
the tiled floor at Imminent risk of fall
ing. and he splashes tbe lather into
your eye* and your mouth, but the fact
remains that he takes as much time
ns usual to rub the lather Into your
face and os much time to shave you.
"I begin to believe there is some
•ert of. rule regarding time that all
barl>ers observe, because I have timed
them. Once I asked a l*ar!>er to burry
shaving me, and he bad all the motions,
but took up Just as much time ns
when lie wont along at his usual gait.
“I imagine they Relieve the customer
will lie satisfied with the ap[>cnran<*e
of speed, and that's the reason they
run around so and breathe heavily ns
if winded when changing from one
side of the chair to the other.”—New
York Sun.
