I was being shaved in the ST. James
Hotel barber shop when noticed Stuart
Robson sitting next to me, with waxed
haired razor wielder standing idly, yet
lnterestedly, looking on. The famous
funny fellow was shaving himself,
ana the sound of that blade tra-
versing the stubblefield of his physi-
ognomy was like unto the gentle
touch of small boy short stick and
paling fence He won't allow barber to
divest him of that hisute wire which:
adorns his face, and the greatest joke
about this idea is that he doesn't know
how to shave himself. He looks like he
needed shave, no matter how often the
habit has been INDUCED in during the
week.
Another strange feature of this Jug
glery is that instead of Mr.. Robson shaw
ing himself down, as other mortals do, he
persistently pushes the sharp steel up
against the grain of the beard The bar
bers all stand back aghast and wonder
how he survives such an ordeal, put no
one is more complacept than he when the
job is done. The clever comedian then
seeks the washstand, allowing the bowl
to be filed with cold water, into which
he plunges his whole head and face, hold
ing his breath as long as possible. After
this the poor barber gets chance at him.

Court to the fact that the election officers
had been acquitted OF stufiing the box.

by the Judge
The latter in delivering his opinion said
that case did not enter into this one. He
had no doubt frauds had been committed
