A Philadelphia Mustache.

GIVE seen some peculiar whiskers in

Der yesterday, "but there was a fellow
in here the other day who simply beat
the deck for mustaches. They were of
the long, flowing kind, and when in re-
pose hung gracefully down over his
shirt front. After / had finished shaving
him he asked me to dress his m%ustache,
giving me my instructions how to do it.
First, I gave it a ~brilliantine bath and
combed it out. Then I waxed it until
the points stood out on each side of his
face like bayonets. He seemed very
proud of it and didn't object when I
asked him if I might measure it. In
fact, he seemed rather pleased. I took
a tapeline and found that from tip to
tip hat marvellous mustache measured
a trife over 90 inches. He next asked
me to curl it. This was a difficult oper-
alton, but after exhausting several curl
ing irons I succeeded in heating a Sec
ton of gas pipe to the proper tempera-
ture and finished the job. "-Philadel-

Grant a Natural Bushwhacker.

After looking critically at a map Of a
locality it seemed to become photograph
ed indelibly upon his brain and he could
follow it's features without referring to
it again. Besides, he possessed an al
most intuitive knowledge of topography
and never became confused as to the
points of the compass. He was a natural
"bushwhacker, and was never so much
at home as when finding his way by
the course Of streams, the contour of
the hills, and the general features of the
country. I asked him one day whether
he had ever been deceived as to the
points of the compass. He said: "Only

Death of James Richie.

Word was received here, Tuesday af-
ternoon, announcing the death of James
Richie at Sheridan, Wyoming. He has
been ailing for a long while, and though
his death was not unexpected, the an
nouncement came with saddening and
depressing effect upon all that knew him
here, where he spent a number of years
in the Burlington employ as round house
foreman before he was elevated to the
position of master mechanic and removed
to Sheridan. James Richie was a sturdy,
sterling character, sincere and direct.
The remains were taken to Platts.

and were there inferred today with ap-

All who enjoyed the acquaintance or
friendship of the departed will join us
in profoundest expressions of sympathy
for the bereaved family in their great
sorrow and irreparable loss.

Moonlight and Sunlight Compared.

d. The brightness of the moor is not so
much greater than the same area of the
sky, as is shown by Flammarion's eta
bles of relative amount of light" The
total light of the full moon is compared
with the total light of the sun by M.
Flammarion, but in a way that it would
be a very hard task to reproduce it in
a readable shape in an article adapted
to this department. However, we will
say that the great astronomers deduc-
tons prove that we received as much
light from the sun as could be emitted

The world has never used me square,
I've had more WOO than veal;
Folks laugh because I'm lean and spare,
And run down at the heal.
And as | walk along the street.
And in the shops,-alas!
The railroad men and boys | meet
All guy me as | pass.
Now as | am a married man,
| nave little cause for JOY;
But | was tickled when | heard
Someone say, at is a boy"
The world is very changed of late,
Nature has a smile for all,
The happy hours go dancing by,
The leaves sing as they fall.
My hat will scarcely At my head,
My trousers are loo short;
And some of the boys say 'on the dead
I'm becoming quite a sport
Now this is very wrong, my friends;
But you do not see the fun;
The reason why | laugh SO loud
Is, Barney has a SON."
The say my air is digniied,
And just a trif1e gay;
But do not blame me for my pride,
can not help my way.
It's just the old Virginia sign
That we have honor won.
And Lewis feels quite famous now
Because he has a son.
Why the very engine seems to feel
This JOY so wholly mine,
For in response to my slightest touch
1t goes dancing down the line.
And as we return to our little town,
After a hard days run,
The bell and whistle seem to say,
"B. Lewis-has-a-son."
Some say the skid" looks like his dad,
Some think the other way;
But one thing Is sure and that's not bad,
He's here and come to stay.
And now the nights are growing cold,
And as l walk the floor
And hold that baby in my arms,
love him more and more.
So friends and fellow railroad men
Smile with me in my joy,
And let your c%ongenial spirits say,
Sod bless his little boy"
