Somethlg About the Barber.

Barber Latin barba, the beard }, q
shaver of the beard, and now ordi-
narily includes hair cutting in bis
profession. BARRIERS are of great an
tiquity, if Dot for shaving of the
beard, at least for shaving a portion
of the bead The office Of the barber
is referred to by the prophet Ezekiel !:
''and thou, son Of man, take thee q
barber's razor, and cause it to pass
upon thine head and upon thy beard. /"
GEE. v. IL In all oriental countries
including China, the shaving the
whole or part Of the head continues
to be performed by BARRIERS. In every
part of the world. the professional
barber. and hair dresser is celebrated
for his garrulity and obliging quali-
ties, such being required by those
who place themselves in his hands

Ex-Congressman Gunter, was dur.
ing the war, proud ano impressive
officer. He was not afraid of. the
enemy and never sought chance oi
keeping out of harms way, but II
was well known fact that the clank-
ing panoply and turkey -gobbler strut
OF war to him quite as interesting as
the gleam of the bayonet or the team
mons opening roar" In January,
1868, Gunter marched his men from
the northwest down to the capital
city. While the men were halted on
the opposite bank ofthe river, Gunter
went over into the town.. and whilc
there, became acquainted with several
young ladies. In the presence of
these ladies he decided to make an
impressive show; and he told them
they would be eheered by bis troops
as they passed.
Now, boys" said Gunter when he
had gone back to his men, "when we
cross over | want you to march just
as gracefully as you possibly can. A
party of ladies will be standing on
the hotel balcony. When / take off
my bat and shout Three cheers for
the ladies of Little Rock, JEFF Davis
and the southern confederacy, you
must all cheer.n
The men were not in q cheering
humor. They had marched through
many miles Of snow. The peacock
feather to them, while it might have
been picturesques, possessed not that
great charm which turks around q
place to sit down. just before ar
irving opposite the hotel on the ball
cony on which the ladies stood, one
of the officers said
Boys, we've got enough of this
foolishness. Don't open your mouths.
Pass it along the line"
The word was passed along. Gun.
ter took off his hat, waved it and ex-
claimed sThree cheers for the ladies
of Little Rock. jeff Davis and the
southern confederacy."
The men were marching in the most
zig-zag and slatternly manner. No
one cheered. Gunter 'duckedn his
head and breatked an oath as long as
plow-line. Shortly after the sold
iers passed the hotel, yellow dog
ran into the street. Then the men
yelled. Gunter raved. Standing up
on his stirrups be exclaimed. "Oh,
yes, dang you you can't cheer party
of ladies, but you can cheer dang
yallar dog, dang you" IS
Never afterwards did Gunter place
so much confidence in his men. -

CURED OF THE rREMENs.
How an Illinois Judge Was Frightened
Into Total Abstinence.

Into Total Abstinence.
Washington Star.
"The best thing | ever heard about
delerium tremens and drinking men
being scared at symptoms Of that
Sort" said On ex-sheriff of q populous
Illinois county. to Star reporter,
twas joke that was played on Judge
-, of our county. I'm not go-
ing to tell you his name, because be
has been very prominent man and
too many people know him. Well,
the judge was one of our biggest law
yers, and he was an honor to the
bench But he would get on spree
now and then, and when be got to
drinking he let everything go to the
dogs. lie had been on 'toot' for
about week, and was. of course, feel
ing pretty shaky. lie was trying to
straighten up, however, and meeting
one of the clerks OF his law Office on
the street the Judge pompously in-
formed him that he would be at the
Office shortly to resume work, The
clerk carried this Information to the
law Office Only two or three doors
away from the Office was grocery
store and poulterers' establishment
The judges partner sent the clerk up
there and boughta q big rooster It's,
legs were tied and the rooster was
laid right on the judges table. Pretty
soon the old man entered, doing bis
best TO walk straight, but staggering
q little in spite of him. He took bis
hat off and threw it on the table,
square on the old rooster. Well, of
course, the chicken huttered and
sque aked.
Who in h. put that rooster on
the table p thuDdered the Judge, for
be wasn't man whom people were
likely to take liberties with. who
has dared to do that p The Judges
partner walked over to him and said
IN q low tone: Come this way, judge
| want to speak to you
No, sir, go away; who 10 = and
- dared to put that chicken on my
table, sir p
Just,a word, Judge urged the
partner, all the time leading the Judge
into an adjoining room. Finally,
when they bad passed into the next
room, the partner said, very seriouslys
Now, judge, feel that must tell
you something. You know you've
been little of lately. There is no.
body here but your personal friepds.
Judge, there is no chicken on your
table,
wv hat, sir; d you, sir Do
you mean to tell me that don't know
q rooster when / see it, sir r SIR
Meantime the clerk as soon as the
Judge was safely in the next room,
quickly seized the rooster by the
throat 50 that it could not give forth
tell-taie sound, and threw it into an
old barrel in the back yard cOntiu-
ued the ex-sheriff. The Judge now
fairly boiling over with wrath, jerked
away from his partner and rushed
back into bis Office, exclaiming again:
Tell me, d. you, don't know 3
rooster The clerk was sitting ct his
desk, demurely going ahead with bis
work. The judge ready to colfound

and while In that capacity he sold ma
chimes, taking TIE purchasers notes for

LIVELY PURSUIT. on A BURGLAR,
Frank Buchtel was awakened Tues.
day night by q noise In his bedroom. On
raising up from his pillow no saw q
burglar standing near by hls side hold
Ing burning match In one hand. Buch-
tel quickly drew o revolver and nred.
The burglar fled and Buchtel gave chase.
On reaching the yard Buchtel got sight
OF the burglar, and emptied four more
chambefs OF his revolver In the dlrec-
tlon OF tho Intruder, who no doubt was
hit by at least one Of tho bullets. Neigh
b0rg being aroused by the firing turned
out armed with different kinda OF weap-
ons. A shotgun was finally placed In
Buchtel's hande, who had by this time
chased tho burglar fully half q mile, tho
populaoe following In hot pursuit.
Buchtel stopped, took deliberate aim ne
short range and ared, whereupon tho
fleeing man threw up both arms aud
dropped o hand eatchel which ho had
stolen, but made good his escape. A
heavy thunderstorm broke and aided the
burglar In getting away. Ho was badly
wounded, as bloody tracks indicated. Y
