start on their annual piscatorial excursion
to- morrow. Your reporter happened TO
drop in the beautiful barber parlor Of
George Volhart and seeing the latter
busily engaged inquiry was made what
be was doing. 1t turned out that the
Handsome Six owned q razor between
them and had gotten Mr.. Nolhart to put it

the club, seeing their boards are like the

out but thinly settled. To the average
mind it might appear they did not badly
need a razor. but then you know they

sweetened lasses with them.
