A MODERN SEER.
The Barber Could Tell All About
His Customers Habits

The man sank back in the BARRIERS
chair with a sigh of relief, aud closed
his eyes contentedly while the lather
was put on his face. For several min
utes the barber shaved on in silence,
and then, after the manner of his kind,
he ventured a remark.
Fine day. he said
The man in the chair made no an
swer. There was silence for a mo-
ment, and then the barber tried again.
Fine day." he said.
The man in the chair merely grunted.
The barber was nonplussed for e mo-
ment, and piled his razor timidly, every
now and then glancing furtively at his
customer The strained relations did
not please him. Once more he made
an attempt.

The man in the chair opened his eyes
lazily.

closed his eyes again.
The barber felt encouraged.

the chair. I'm not in the weather
business. What? Yes, very good soap.

The barber stopped shaving.

some in your mouth?"
There was another painful silence,
and then he began again.

that because you moisten your lips so

man.
"Oh, no. said the barber. and then
he added: you smoke a good many

The man nodded again.

razors, your breath comes in regular
gasps, like smokers. That might be
from cigars or pipe, but your fingers

There was silence again and the man
kept his eyes fixed upon a huge bunch
of wild yiolets in the window.

and the man looked up in surprise.

he said, "by the erection of this mon

to put an end to all factional differ
