THE POOR PROFESSOR.
He Really Needed a Shave, but Didn't
Want to BE Told So.

He Really Needed a Shave. but Didn't
Want to Be Told So.
The professor had not been shaved
for four or five days owing to hard
study on a little scientific problem.
He came down from his room the 9th
er morning in this condition and, not
having solved the problem, was not in
a very pleasant frame of mind as he
put on his coat and hat to go out.
John, dear, aren't you going to
shave before you go out?" asked his
wife in a surprised tone.
The professor growled something
about women minding their own busi-
ness, slammed the door and was gone.
This was only a starter.
The professor had not gone two
blocks before barber, standing in the
door of hS shop, hailed him thus,
"Shave, sir?' John had really intend
ed stopping in the place; but, being
warm under the collar already, this re-
mark did not cool him off So the bar
ber lost a customer. Farther along
the professor met u friend heading Tor
q barber shop who asked John if he
was going that way.
By this time the professor was mad,
so mad, in fact. that he threatened to
annihilate the next person who re-
ferred to his face in any way.
Continuing on down the street, he
met his friend Jones. Jones, motto
ing the professors detected look. said
as they neared saloon: Professor,
you need a raiser Have one with
me-"
The professor. still thinking of his
mornings adventures, thought Jones
meant "raxor." He was now hopping
mad. This was the last insult he
would stand. Singing off his coat, he
made rush at Jones. Five minutes
later they were both hauled away In
the patrol.-Pittsburg Press.

ONLY 4 DREAM.

The sun had passed It's zenith
On a bright midsummer day,
And snowy masses Of bllowy clouds
Moved slowly on their way.

Heavily laden with golden treasures
From the bright, sweet scented flowers.

That hubbled aloud In its Glee--
heard a sweet voice beside me,

Hark where the murmurs of thronged

Surge and sink back and surge again
Still the one voice OF waves and tree.
Gather shell from the strown beach

The same desire and mystery.

OF men and women who take n prominent

The numerous attractions of the week
left social functions almost out of the
question and consequently there is little
OF that sort of thing to be reported. Hous-
ton was SO socisble that she almost forgot
society, and Mrs. Brewster's german was
the only thing of Importance to chronicle.
The women of the city were many of
them busy with committee work at the
Auditorium, and many more had guests
when they took about to see the various
professions, balls, parades, etc, so little
I time was left for entertaining at home.
However, that they aid their duty in their
own pleasant way goes without saying.
