One of Lincoln's Stories.

that she had done the south not much good

barber in Sangamon county A man woke
him up one night and said he must get
shaved; that he was going to a ball and he
had a few days beard on his face which
must come off, Well, the barber lathered
his face and his nose and ears and slapped
some of it in his mouth, and stropped the
razor on his boot. Then he moved over one
side of his face and shaved off two or three
pimples and a wart or two. And the man in
the chair-a common low backed chair which
nearly dislocated his neck-said, "You pro-
pose to make everything level as you co.
don't you?' "Yes," replied the barber; 'iH
the handle of this razor don't break I'll get
away with what there is there" Laughter ]
"'The mans cheeks were SO hollow that the
barber couldn't get down into all the valleys
But he had bright idea. He stuck his finger
into the fellows mouth and pressed out the
wrinkles SO as to level them. And so he
moved away with the razor until finally he
cut right through the mans cheek and cut
bis own finger.

position on the part Of a few mudsills to-
magnify the little incident which occurred at
the postoffice last Tuesday evening. Last
week we referred to Col Crocker as a chief.
We were wrong. He was arrested in Illinois
for arson and jumped his bail. He met US
in the postoffice and knocked US down.
While down, we explained that we were in
error, and he apologized and helped brush
the dirt off our clothes. That's all there was
to it-one of the triling incidents of every
day life-and that class who are seeking TO-
exaggerate the facts will make nothing by it.
