He was riding a bicycle barefooted, when his foot slipped off the pedal and was caught between the chain and the sprocket wheel, the big toe being severed at the first joint.

BY ORDER. IMPORTANT NOTICE i There are two Hair-dressers in Foxton, but only ONE tradesman. Remember, I’m a barber, not a tailor Visit LITTLEJOHN, the barber, who is not self-taught. I don’t call myself a hairdresser and employ others to do the work for me. Ido it myself, therefore customers can rely on personal attendance. My stock of smokers’ requisites are second to none. The special new edge process of razor setting is known to more than the tailor. Customers can therefore rely on having their razors set by this process if desired. Visitors to Foxton are care fully reminded to note the above, and call on “ The Poet ” if they would have satisfaction and personal attendance. Don’t forget, I served my time (not in gaol), but at ray trade. M, LITTLEJOHN, The People’s Hairdresser and Tobacconist, Main street, Foxton. There are barbers who abuse the name, Others worthy of the fame. —Men who learnt their trade. I ain’t no fopish braggart with a Sandow waxed moustache, I don’t own the heavens or the earth, I’m but a simple barber, and a, man who learnt his trade— And learnt it well—because I knew its worth. I don’t call myself what I am not, I ain’t no bloomin’ tailor in disguise, I don’t want to rob yer of yer lot, or marry yer widder when yer dies. I only want yer to know in Foxton you’ve a barber, not self made, But one who served his time, and learnt his trade. I ain’t no bloomin’ grab-all as yer thinks, I won’t chase yer for a brown, I likes ter live, and let live, that’s my motto, and help the advancement of our town. I ain’t no stingy, creeping crawler as crawls around yer for a job; I never imposed on the workers, and for their hair cut ask a bob. My coming brought the price down, thereby fuller your pocket made. Now in your town you have a barber— One who served his time and learnt his trade. THE POET. WELL-SINKING.
