Street wanderings.

day as he emerged from barber shop.
"A deaf and dumb tonsorial artist
lived long time ago, before Americs
was discovered, when Anna Dickin-
son was young lady. He died.
Starvation was the cause of his death.
Customers he had many. But, on ae-
count Of his infirmity. he was unable
to ask them If they wanted a shampoo
or hair cut. So his business gradu-
ally dropped away. The customers
imagined he did not know his busi-
ness and that he had no hair restora-
tives that would convert an ordinary
tarpaulin into q buffalo after the third
trial. So they went elsewhere where
they got a conversation thrown In
with their shaves.
Some BARRIERS talk more than Others.
AS ruld barber who drinks whisky
and eats onions talks more than any
of his craft. He manages to carry on
his conversation In such close proxim-
ity to his PROSTATE customer that the
latter can detect the odor of onions
on his tonsorial breath. some BARRIERS
should be compelled to wear a mask
while carrying on their trade. The
headgear attached to divers suit
with an air pump far removed would
prove benefit to some BARRIERS.
BARRIERS must talk. A certain bar
Der from Montana held down a chair
In Chicago. He was rated as the
greatest talker In the whole establish
ment. An order came in for a barber
to visit one of the rooms In q large
hotel. The talking barber was sent
UP. He found dead man In the
room. A third party let him in and
directed him to shave the man In the
bed as quickly as possible. The bar
Der got to work, and the friend of the
dead man went out and walked up and
down the hall. The hall pedestrian
was somewhat startled by hearing
noises In the room Of death. He lis
tened. The barber was carrying on .
one-sided conversation.
"You won't have shampoo, I sup
pose ?" said the barber 10 his dead
victim. the while running his hand
through the dead mans hair. "Your
head Is filed with dandruff. We've
got a restorative that will clear IL
right out and keep 1t out. Dandruff.

, A small boy attended the opera en-
tertainment for the first time, few
nights ago, and was particularly car
ried away by the clog dance. In cx-
planning the performance to his father
who remained at home he said: "0b.
papa! there was man with blue
stockings and white clothes on, and
he just stamped on the floor and made
an awful noise. He tried to stamp
the band out"
A tenderfoot came out from the east
I short time ago, and took lodgings In
7 a house whidh was not plastered, cam

8 stead. One night ii was rather windy
!, and the breezes would press the cam
{ vas out and then take 1t in. The ten
, derfoot heard some noise and after he
/, had lighted:the lamp. he examined,
!, with gun in hand, underneath the
I bed. Finding nothing there. he stood
, with hair erect looking about. when
behold the wall moved several inches
: toward him.
The gun dropped from his hand.
The lamp was on the stand. A terri
fled tenderfoot was he. The wall con-
tinued to float back and forth with q
plalntive sound. The young man
held his breath and was silent as the
dead. Through his imaginative brain
, passed q thought that the house was
/. haunted. The silence was terrible,
mingled with the plaintive sound OF
floating walls. Just when the tender.
, foot's knees gave out and the hand
a which reached for the half-dozeu-
: shooter became paralyxed. There came
a stronger gust Of wind and the wall
flew out an inch further.
