Saint-Foix, the French poet, had large
income, but was always in debt. Much of
his time was spent lodging his creditors
He sat one Gay in q barber chair, with his
face lathered and ready to be shaved, when
one of his largest creditors entered the shop.
The man saw Sain;-FoiX and angrily de-
manded the money due him.
Won't you wait until get a shaver"
quietly inquired the poet.
Certainly" answered the other, pleased
at the prospect of getting the money.
The poet made the barber witness to
the agreement and calmly wiped the lather
from his face. He wore beard to his dy-

the porter of the Pearl Point House,
struck a sunken pier, just south OF the

Claude Granger, who was ordered to take
charge of the boat by Mr. Phillips, is not
an experienced pilot, although familiar
with that part of the lake, where he has
been employed two seasons. Under or
