Regarding a "Close" Shave.

What makes my face so dry and
dusty:' asked man in one of the
chairs at the hotel barber shop.
You shave too Close replied the
barber You get down under the skin
and irritate it."
We'll. have to shave close. l don't
want to bother with shaving every day
so I get a shave every other day, and
then get a good, close one"
There's no need of that" replied the
barber. There isn't so much difference
between single going-over and very
close shave. After the razor has been
over your face once you can still feel a
fine stubble. BY second or third
scraping you can get the face feeling
perfectly smooth, but in three hours
time the beard has grown out to where
it was after the first going-over. What
l mean is that you save only about
three hours by getting what we call a
close shave, and for Il man who shayes
every other day that isn't much of an
advantage. Besides, it irritates the
face and is liable to make the skin hard
and scaly. \ man who shaves himself
simply goes over his face once, but in
barber shop the customer thinks he
is not getting the worth of his money
unless the barber scrapes for about ten
minutes to get rid of that extra three
hours growth Of beard. ."--Chicaco

By o'clock the streets of Sonora were
crowded with citizens and visitors eager
to witness the feature of the day, the
grand parade, and a conservative estimate
Of those who witnessed IL would be near
the 1000 mark. Shortly after 10 o'clock
the procession started from Masonic Hail,

Church, where 1t countermarched and
proceeded to the old Opera Hall, again
countermarching and returning to
Masonic Hal. where it dispersed.
The first division presented an imposing
and impressive appearance as it traversed
the line of march. At its head was Miss
George Price, grand marshal of the day,
riding a magn ihcent bay horse, followed
by her aide-Miss Rosabei Conrad and J.
Durkin and Thomas We!ls-aIso mounted.
Following came the Angels band, respen-

white bepumed helmets.
Next in line were the school children of
Sonora, some 300 strong, with Master
Arthur Wells, mounted on a Shetland
pony, acting as marshal. The children
made one of the very prettiest features of
the parade, dressed they were in groups

This division was brought to close by
the me mbers of the City Council, incIud-

prove the whole show, they made not the

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 10.-One of
Santa Rosa's fairest daughters was led to
the altar to-day when Miss Dorothy Kim
sci became the bride of George F. Morris.
The ceremony took place at the Kinsel
residence on Mcdonald avenue at high
noon. Hundreds of guests from all over
the State were present, and nothing that
wealth and taste could furnish was
omitted. The floral decorations were
notably magnificent, and the entire man
sion presented an example of decorative
art seldom witnessed in this CITY. The
ceremony was choral, and Rev. William
Martin tied the nuptiaI knot.
Just before the bridal party appeared
Miss Florence Boggs sang "Star of My
Life" from the opera ''l'Eclair." Miss
Boggs then played Mendelssohn's "WeG-
ding March" and the bridal party entered,
preceded by Miss Lillian Kinsel, sister
OF the bride. She wore white organdie

costume was of white organdie over white

bridal veil of tulle trim med in white

After congratulations and an elegant
wedding breakfast the young couple left
amid shower OF rice for Chicago, their
future home.
The young wife is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. T. Kinsel of this city, and in
addition to being accomplished and ex-
tremely beautiful is possessed of that rare
gift, a sunny and lovabie disposition. The
groom is from Chicago and is an artist of
promise. He holds a position as special
artist on the Chicago Horseman and
American Field, and his work on those
two papers has gained him more than a
passing reputation.

morning for the seasons run, and large
number of miners and teamsters who
have been idle since the mine shut down
ast fall have been put to work. To a
GALL representative Mr.. Merchant, presi-
dent OF the company, said:
I'VE are starting up the mine at this

duced at the Healdsburg mine is equal to
the best of the imported article, and yet
We cannot compete with the Venetian red

There was q time in Oregon when the
male inhabitants mostly wore buckskin
trousers, because there was no other
material available for garment making.
Oregon's climate, of course, is damp,
and buckskin once wet shrinks fright
fully in drying. This reminds an old
pioneer, says the Corvallis (Ore.) Times,
of the first wedding he ever went to in
oregon. He said: ut occurred in the
winter of 1s45.at Oregon City. The bride
walked two miles through mud to get
to the church. She was arrayed in
white, and when she appeared in church
her gown was sadly bedraggled. The
groom wore bucksl1in pants. Once they
