Fastest Shaving on Record,

"Talking about quick shaves," said
a passenger on Rock Island suburban
train, 81 came down to the depot the

said Gimme a three minutes shave
All right said she. sit down. And
I'm blamed if she Didn't 60 over my
face In good shape just three minutes
by the watch, and brushed off and
caught my train nicely"
This stirred up the story tellers. One
man had been shaved in two minutes,
another in a minute and a-half and so
on.
"Just wait until you hear from me-"
said low-browed, tough.looking pas
senger. "For seven years 1 shaved in
shop where one barber run the razor
over an average of sixty faces an hour.
What do you think Of that?"
"Imposssble," exclaimed several lis
teners in chorus.

the -brOwed man. "This barber
didn't do anything but use his razor.
The men lathered their own faces while
waiting their turn, and boy handed
him fresh honed razors. Seven or
eight slashes was shave; and the Gus
toners wiped their own faces after
leaving the chair"
"How much did the barber charge

Nothing; and he got no wages. He

The Chicago Strike.

The failure of the Chicago strike

a better working understanding be-
tween the power at the head OF the
organization of the Knights OF Labor
and power of the assemblies. The as

there is sudden countermand from

what comes last should have come at
first. 1t would be better to consult
Mr.. Powderly before striking. Every
strike like the great railroad strike in
the Southwest and the two eight hour
strikes in Chicago weakens the hole
of the Knights upon the confidence o
their own membership, and tends tt
destroy the favorable opinion general
" entertained as to the value OF thu
