MAKING AN EXPLANATION.
A Question OF Identity That Might Have
Resulted Seriously.

Resulted Seriously.
] was getting shaved in one-chair
barber-shop in a mountain town in Ken
lucky, and there was only one other man
in the shop besides the barber, says a
writer in the Detroit Free Press. The
process was about half through when
some one was heard walking on the We.
randa which surrounded the shop, and
pretty soon wild-looking face peered
through the window.
"Say, Bill, does he'un want your"
asked the barber Of the other man.
"Who all is it 2"
"Simmons, | reckon"
"He'un can't want me. I never did
nothin' TO him."
"Stranger, does he'un want You ?"
asked the barber Of me.
"Who? Simmons, as you call him }"

"Nover heard OF him. Who is he,
anyhow"
"Oh, he'un lives back here bit.
Great hand to shute' Had any trouble
with him ?"
"No."
"Well, III go out and explain to
he'un. Might shute through the win
dow if / didn't"
lie put down his razor and went out,
and when he returned Simmons was
with him. The shooter stepped around
and took square look at me, and then
heaved o sigh of disappointment and
said to the barber:
faint he'un, Sam, but so mighty
clus to it that might hev popped through
the glass"
"Never does any hurt to explain mat
tiers, said the barber in reflective way
as Simmons went out. He 'un killed two
men in this chair and l don't like the
muss of it. That's what went out to
explain--if you was heun's meat, he'un
was to wait and drap you outside"

Was 1t q New Game I?


A Detroiter who deals in real estate,
law, insurance, loans, lawsuits, and poll
tics. went over to Chicago the other day.
While nearing that city man came to
him and confidently remarked:
There's chap in the car back there
trying to get a $50 bill changed. It's q
base counterfeit, and want to put you
on your guard"
He was warmly thanked for his kind
ness and passed on, and five minutes
later n man appeafed with bill in bis
hand and asked:
{" Friend, can you change this twen-
tyr"
"sorry to say Ican'h was the prompt
reply.
"Well, let me have ten and you keep
the bill until We get to Chicago"
"Can't do it."
"Cant You let me have dves"
"Perhaps you are afraid Of the bill. I
don't claim to know much about money.

the bill.
"If / can" replied tho conductor.
scarcely CHANGING at it
He made out ten and two fives and
passed them over, and the Detroiter
handed over the amount OF his bet,
kicked himself into the next car, and he
never saw bit of Lake Michigan as the
train made its way into Chicago.

shroud had been thrown TO one side 20 rs
TO make the region OF the heart accessi-
BILE. An aperture was made in the
undergarments with pair OF scissors
and the severed flaps held back by pins,
exposing the surface OF the skin directly
above the heart. The skin was Of faint
red color. After all the friends and
neigbbors had taken q last leave OF the
deceased only the immediate relatives
and the physician remained and the
others left the room.
CROWDS OF CURIOUS ONES.
Tho street outside the house was
lined with hundreds of persons, who
had assembled out of curiosity. Their
gaze alternated between the windows OF
the room in which the body lay and
the piece OF heavy black Grape which had
huttered from the handle OF the door
bell for thirteen days.
In the meantime the sisters and rela-
tives congregated around the casket and
wept. The bright dagger which was to
allay their doubts lay upon the dead
mans breast. The physician came for
ward and unhesitatingly picked it up, and,
placing the point directly in the centre
Of the exposed space Of skin. with o
quick thrust the keen point was plunged
downward into the dead druggists heart.
The physician said that not a drop Of
blood came from the wound made by
the dagger.
Tho little dagger was left in the body,
the pearl handle protruding. The SIS
tiers breathed a long-drawn sigh OF relief
when their brothers last wish had been
executed. The undertaken then stepped
forward and closed down the lid. The
relatives and friends retired to the car
riages, which followed the body to the
cemetery. Here services were read, and
all that was mortal OF Druggist Fay was
laid away to rest.
