MOTIONS IN SHAVING.
lFrom the PhtIadelphia rimes.

(F'rom the Philadelphia Times.)
Now that you've finished shaving
me, how many strokes of the razor did
1t require?'' asked the man in the chair
as he Strengthened up to have his hair
combed.
That's pretty hard to tell said the
barber
"Of course it is. But you've been in
the business how long?"
Fifteen years"
You ought to know by this time
about how many strokes of the razor
it requires to shave a man, supposing
that you go over his face a second
time"
Il might make a guess at it,"
"All right. What's your guess? Re

well, l should say about 1875"
you're good guesSer, | don't think
Some time ago | got into the habit of
counting the strokes of a razor every
time l was being shaved. It's a good
way to employ your mind. In shaving
me you just made 1872 strokes with the
razor

mo man believes it until he takes the
trouble to count. In my case l never
knew the number to fall below five
hundred, and it has gone more than
eight hundred at times. I call it a
stroke every time the razor is brought
forward and then drawn back

than five hundred strokes in a first
class shave. You remember that and
probably you can win a few bets

ONLY a BUBBLE.

The recen, reports Of railroad war
between the o. R & n. Company and
the Northern Pacific are mostly hgments
Of the imagination. There is only one
fact on which to base such reports. That
faet Is the letting OF a contract by the
o. R. & n. Company to build a line
from wallula 10 Lewiston. with the
avowed purpose OF extending It from
Lewiston up the Clearwater to Montana.
Since extensions north OF the Snake, in a
previous era. have caused war between
the two roads. the bears in wall street
have seized upon this fact to make a raid
on n. P. stocks. In this they have been
aided by the alert agents o. the Associ-
ated Press.
In fact. however. there can be no war
Of that kind Pierpont Morgan is um-
plre OF the voting trust" Of the North
srn Pacific He is also finance minister
Of the Union Pacific. or, in other words,
the vanderbfts. The recent purchase
by the U. P. of the Spokane union depot
grounds shows that company in perfect
accord with the Great Northern and
Northern 1; indicates clearly, too. that
the U. P. Cor Morgan) has potential con-
trol OF the o. r. & MS policy, and that
nothing hostile to the interest Of any
one OF the three transcontineutals is in
vOlved in this new extension.
Since the extension is one evidently of
frieLdly concert between those roads. 1t
is easy to see what mat extension means.
Merely that, as the oregonian lately
most ably said. the Northern and Great
Northern could by that route get to Port
land on equal terms with the Union Pa
cihc. by avoiding the mountain grades
Of their more northerly extensions. II
the oregonian had simply used Astoria"
instead OF Portland It would have
disclosed the real point OF that concert.
The four American railroads are in con-
sert TO capture the import trade Of the
Orient at the columbia's gate. Yet each
road viii fight for all the exports IT can
get.
rhs authentic report that those roads
have bought GO per cent Of the stock Of
the Astoria & Columbia River railroad is
in harmony with this view of the situa-
tion and with the idea that the o. r. &
N. extension to Lewiston and up the
Clearwater is not deemed hostile move
by the Northern. Any report of that sort
is mere bubble.
