Tale of TalKative Tonsorial Arti
and His Gruff Customer

Tale of a Talkative Tonsorfal Artist
and His Gruff Customer.
AS he threw himself back into the en-
brace of the cushioned chair of a Union
Square barber shop he scowled fercely
at the barber and buried his face in the
newspaper. But the barber didn't mind
the ugly opening. II leaned over, gar
roted the tonsorial patient with a towel
and painted his face with lather. When
he had fiip-flopped razor once or twice
along the strop, he began mildly:
Nice day, SIR"
"Oh, is it?" answered the other.
The barber looked startled, but he
tried again.
Paper says we're going TO have nice
weather now.o
Thanks" was the answer, ST know
how to read myself"
AT this rebuff the barber kept silence.
But he shaved against the grain, tweaked
the others nose and daubed soap into the
corners of his mouth. The gruff man
sWore softly, the barber smiled. and as a
hnal act OF violence grabbed the other by
the top OF the scalp and twisted his head
until the cervical vertebrae creaked
again.
Say" cried the gruff man, my head
amt no roulette wheel"
But still the barber shaved on in ST.
lence. He shaved and shaved. scraping
the skin so close that it showed ragged
under the blade. Then, leaning over, he
grabbed handful of raw and tender skin
and rolled it between his fingers until the
other groaned aloud. AS the teardrops
stole down the scarified face the barber
administered the final taunt:
DO you shave yourself, sir? ?"
No." roared the grutf man, leaping up
IN the chair, II shave my grandm other
and sisters nieces."
Then he buried his face in the paper,
and the barber smiled and smiled and
smiled, while he rubbed alum into the
sore spots on the victims face.

Pig Iron Tramp for Tramps.

At meeting Of the Pennsylvania Board
of Prison Inspectors in Lancaster steps
were taken which, it believes, VIII put an
end to the tramp nuisance. Lancaster
County appears TO be their favorite resort,
as they have hitherto been too well
looked after, even in Jail. The board
directed the prison-keeper to purchase
two tons of pig iron, and every tramp
committed for longer period than
twenty-four hours will be compelled to
take five hours active exercise carrying
this iron from one end of the prison yard
to the other All refusing to do so will
be put upon half rations.-Philadelp

THE NORMAL SCHOOL CONTRACT
An Analysis of the Grievance of Mr..

sue. relative 10 the complaints of local
contractors" there about the treat ment
received by them from the architect for
the state normal school building. to be
erected here. the clerk of the board of
trustees says
They undoubtedly emanate solely from
u. W. Starrett, who seems 10 have opened
his mouth only TO put his foot in it, On his
18th Of September. nearly a month before
the plans and specifications for the build
ing had been accepted. he wrote 10 the
chairman of the board stating that he
had been informed that the plans and spe-
cifications were then complete, and asking
that they be sent to him. and he also ask
ed for lot of detailed information that
he should have known would be fully set
forth in the specifications. He was noti-
fed that bids would not be called for un-
iii some time in October: that "A copy OF
the notice to contractors would be sent to
him as soon as possible after publication.
and that plans and specifications would
doubtless be on file for the examination
of contractors at the Offices of the archi-
tects in Seattle and of the clerk here. His
complaint is utterly ridiculous. lie has
had every facility for the examination OF
plans that has been afforded 10 every other
contractor and his threat TO the architects
that should the matter be hooked into by
the governor the facts would reflect on
all parties both In Whatcom, and Seattle
is as childish as IL is absurd. All contrac-
tors have been advised and especially
through the news columns Of the Post-In-
telhgencer. to visit the grounds in order to
be able 10 make an intelligent estimate of
the cost OF excavation and the not incon-
siderate item Of carriage on material. The
site has been carefully staked by a compe-
tent engineer. and the level given at an
initial point from which all contractors
must figure the excavations, and indeed
the amount OF excavation. or fiji. at the
various corners is indicated by the stakes.
Representative Haheman seems 10 have
rushed into the matter at the behest of
Mr. Starrett, rather precipitately. and IL
he pursues his investigation TO any extent
he viii find that the discrimination COM
planned Of by StaTrett exists only in the
latters imagination"
