RARE OLD RELICS
IN A QUEER SHOP.

nOWN on the Delaware, in Easton,
IL there is barber who is a charac-
r. He and his shop are both curiosi-
les. Not content with making a ca
eer at shaving fo- over half century
Without stopping. he has gathered to-
ether the most remarkable collection
I war relics.
Certain persons have had greater col
lections. probably, but they are persons
who have bad more Advantages than
Ben Youells. Collecting is the luxury
ne allows himself. II is his fad. Where
he ever Ppl all these things even he
Couldn't tell you. As soon as you talk
% him you see he has the true spirit
Il the relic worshiper, not the money
grabber.
Hundreds of the curios are packed
away in the dingy little barber shop
down on the river. Curios that great
museum would tingle to get its fingers
on. No system is employed in their ar
rangemeut. They are just heaped and
slowed away, crammed and jammed in
to dark corners and unlabeled shelves.
So easily is fame hidden away under
a bushel measure that few folk in
Easton know Of the wonders of the bar
Der shop collection; fewer still know
that he holds the record of the United
States for a barher's profession. For
over half u century he has piled the
razor and scissors on the heads of men
entirely great and those entirely small.
The other chief attribute OF barber
ioquacity-'vas vouched for when
foueils went into the peppermint pole
roress!on after having served years as
4 sea captain.
I'c has outlived all his sea habits, ex-
'ort his ability to spin yarns.
Only two men are living in Easton
Who began careers with him. He has

Youels doesn't believe in letting his
iame and profession part. Half dozen
ous are BARRIERS, and whether he stip-
dated it or not each of his daughters

Easton is probably the only town that
has a BARRIERS trust, but the Youells
certainly monopolize the trade. They
drmly believe that not to be shaved by
Youell is not to have been shaved
properly.
That is one of his records.
Another is that he is the living be-
ginning Of four generations, and when
he chooses he can whistle nearly half
hundred children and grandchildren
to his side. This in itself is career!
When invitations went out for fam
lily dinner on the golden wedding four
years ago II direct descendants sat
down to table.

taking a grandchild. Nine children are
living, and each is a grandparent.
Youells is IS vigorous as man of
so; his 7s years he treats a playthings;
they have never added feathers
weight to his mind or heart.
Surely somewhere among his collec-
ton he will find he has picked up a
charm for everlasting life OF drop
from Ponce de Icons spring Of ever
lasting youth. He may not know its
name. but ii must be therei
He has a charmed life. Once steam
er on the Delaware ople in
Easton tell you OF it yet. Ben Youells
was on IT, and so terrible was the con-
cussion that he was violently pitched
over to the bank just near his little
shop. The only comment Youells made
on the accident was characteristic: "If
he said, ait would have put me in my
chair in front the shop"
Added to his great record as barber
and his charmed life, he is assessor of
the Second ward and a collector of value
and marvellous skill.
Does IL take the climate of Easton to
grow such men?
was looking for the dial for the
state house, and thought Youells might
know something of il. He didn't, but
he knew so much else and had so much
else that the dial was forgotten. He
was the man who knew that the old
tree planted in the Pennsylvania hos
pital grounds was from n branch of
the tree under which Penn made his
treaty. With every relic he has its his
tory.
The entire museum was unlabeled,
unclassified.
Newly things he has classified or in
regular relation 10 each other are the
stone relics. He has turned one side OF
the wall over for a stone department.
Here are 81 boards. Thirty -cno Of ihem
show 72O arrow and spearheads OF
white, gray, pink and jasper stones,
The other 30 boards show antiquarian
stone relies, such as pestles, toma-
hawks. rubbing stones, stone skinnine
knives, axes Of unusual size, pieces OF
pottery, one double-edged AK, very rare
| ly found and the other curiously con
structed relics of Indian life.
A conspicuous relic here is an Indian
mortar that was the property of Parson
| Heckenwelder. Mrs. HeckenweldeI
was the first white child born east OF
the Allegheny mountains. Above this
in value is the powder horn presented
TO Tecumseh, by Gen. Howe, in 1899

''It is sadly devoid of meaning and
expression, while Chinese music pene-

We smile at the absurdity, because to
our ears Chinese music is the linking to-
gether of harsh and unmelodious
sounds, the mingling of crash and
clterwauling.

10 illustrate the fact that there is con-
yrut.ona' language in sound as there is
in words. Barbaric folk use language
of music which penetrates their souls,
but which causes the nerves of civilized
people to tingle. Our music seems as
absurd TO them as theirs to us. Neither
understands the musical language of
the other.
The Japanese complain that our di-
vision Of music into regular bars has the
effect of making it 'chip-chop, chip
chop, chip-chop."
There is no universal language in
words or in art. The Greeks, who built
the Parthenon or wrought the Venus of
Melos could not have discerned beauty
or reverence in the uncouth figures of
Aztec deities. An Aztec who was moved
by twisted deities clutching one an

have stood without emotion before a

THE LUMBER CONTROVERSY.
.RETALIATORY ACTION LIKELY TO BE
TAKEN BY THE TREASURY
nEpARTNENT

Washington. May Ex-senator Mcmillan, Of
michigan. had a long conference with Secretary
Gage to-day regarding the proposed imposition
of a countervai!ing duty on lumber imported
from Canada. Senator Mcmillan. on behalf OF
the Northern timber interests. strongly urged
early action. and IL the Attorney-General in his
expected opinion holds that under the proviso in
Section 1875 of the tariff act the Secretary can
lawfully impose a practically prohibitive duty
ION lumber from the Canadian provinces such
action almost certainly will be taken. The sec
ton in question authorizes the imposition Of a
Ietaliatory duty on lumber from any country
or dependency which may impose export
duty on logs. Canada by recent act absolutely
prohibits the export of logs. and the question Is
whether this prohibition comes within the
meaning OF Section 1875 Treasury Department
officials think that II does, and unless the At
y-General takes a contrary view official
action will shortly be taken. and the increased
duty will be made TO apply to lumber OF all
kinds imported. not only from Ontario but from
any other Canadian province.
