THE REAL "DAVID IIARJJM,"
"DAXE,' HANNUM, OF HOMER, N. Y.

Edward Noyes WestcOtt has done for
Homer, little village of central New
York, what others have done for New
England, Kentucky and the South With
in the narrow confines of its rural sur
roundings he found one of the most char
'acteristic types. from childhood to old
age, in American fiction. Mr.. Westcott
embellished this type with a master hand,
but when Homer first read David
Harum' 1t recognized underneath the lit
erary paint with which the original of the
hero had been retouched the rugged,
wide-awake, homely countenance OF Da-
vid Hannum, who had been a character
in town of quaint, long-headed, dryly
humorous characters up to a few years
ago. 1t was Homers first literary sensa-
ton, and it was no nine days wonder in
the little town The good people are
wondering even yet that one of their
number should get into print.

fellers as those. Dave wuz an ordinary
kind of amusin' cuss, but he never done
anything much. and he died poorer an

Nevertheless, Homer is full of stories of
Dave" Hannum, banker and horse deal
er, droll, shrewd, sharp, yet tender--a
character they love to talk about. He al
ways had a supply of "hoss-swapping"
stories and would rather trade horses and

To the Editor of the Globe:
Referring to the letter in your issue
of date, signed by Mr. Nash. l take the
liberty of replying. Mr.. Nash bases his
opinion upon hearsay, and judging from
the writer's remarks he must have mis-
understood the fifteen-year resident in
the Transvaal Having lived in Pretoria,
johannesburg and Kimberley can speak
from practical knowledge that Mr.. Nashs
letter does not contain one iota OF truth.
In the first place, the Beers are the most
treacherouS, hypocritical people living

tality and savageness. They are slave

benefit Of progress and humanity. 1t Is
a republic in disguise, and the meanest
oligarchy that could be found on the

then only citizen in disguise, as no one

Where is there a country or government
on the face of the earth that grants and

the manner he looks at life and liber-
ty,' then his idea of true life and liberty
without disguise is not of the kind Amer
leans like. Tell me where you can find
a man that would pay G25 after being

ONLY ONCE OVER.
A barber Who Protests Against the
"ClOse Shave"

"ClOse Shave"
To the Editor of the Globe:
With the kind permission of the
G o for space In its columns I de-
sire to express my views and opinion in
behalf of the BARRIERS and for TIE benefit
OF the shaving public generally, as to
the unsatisfactory services received from
the hands OF the tonsorialist and which
have frequently caused criticism and
home shaving to considerable extent
This annoyance is largely due to the
fact that this essential matter has never
received the necessary considerations ana
the cause placed where 1t justly belongs.
And while IT. may be true that this con-
tingency for many years can be credited
TO the artist, yet IT Is also nevertheless a
fact that it can largely he attributed to
the patrons OF barber shops for Their Per
sistent demand of a close shaver per-
mttting the barber to shave twice over"
es 1t Is termed.
This impression of receiving a closer
shave and which will last longer and
look better by pursuing these orders is
q mistake and wrong impression to at
tain for the fact that the skin becomes
irritated and infiamed to the extent
whereupon it is an irnpossibilfty to rem
der close shave. This method of shay
ing should be avoided by all means and
the once over method pursued III It's
stead. as this is the only style of shay
ing which will give the best results and
satisfaction.
And while this vital Importance has
evidently received but little attention, I
will therefore give a brief synopsis OF thu
nature and effect In the two styles of
shaving above mentioned and thus enabla
the reaGer to readily comprehend the
Denafit in using precaution to avoid close
shaving.
The necessity of this Importance is
very essential when taken into c1nsidera-
ton the many who are annoyed with the
irritation from d shave and of the APP
parent incubation Of germs. which is to
Il great measure due to close shaving,
especially 50 In shaving twice over. as
there is no precaution taken at the first
time ever fer the fact that It will be
shaved over the second time, which Is
generally done against the grain and thus
The slSin becomes infiamed and irritatnd.
which exposes the pores to any germs or
disease that may be In view.
While on the other hand, with the
patrons request of 'once over clean
shave" all this annoyance and fear Of
inoculating any disease would be of no
danger whatever and batter service
would BE- attained for the reason that
tho artist would be obliged to use nre-
caution to render clean shave once
over. and at the same time, in SO doing.
the skin would receive better treatment
and permit it to retain in healthy
and smceth condition.
If this method of requesting once over
clean shave is practiced I venture to as
sert will prove better results and the
pleasure of being shaved by a barber
will be appreciated.

were committed to Kennebec Jail, Tues
day afternoon, to await the action of the
grand jury. will receive the best that
that institution affords. They are slowly
coming to a deeper realization of the
grave offence which has been brought
against them. The younger girl. Flora
Mcdonald. told Miss Brown. the matron
of the school. that she did not under
stand the reading of the warrant. When
she was told that she could no longer re-
main at the school, but would have to be
committed to Jail. she broke down and
felt very bad about her misfortune. Ru-
mors have been published in other papers
to the effect that a fire was discovered
some weeks ago in Il closet at the school
The Journal is authorized to state that
the rumor was without foundation. a
lamp suspended from hook in one of
the rooms dropped to the floor, some
weeks ago, but the occurrence was purely
accidental
