REED AND HIS MUSTACHE
The Man from Maine Was Proud Of
It Till q Barber Did It Up
for Him. 80 - s'' =

1.-THE members of the last two congresses
will recall the smooth-shaven visage of
former Speaker Reed" said an old attache
of the house to a Times reporter the other
day. .'And the older members will likewise
remember that. Reed at one time wore
mustache of few struggling hairs, so often
seen on the upper lips Of extremely fleshy
men. How Mr.. Reed parted with his hirsute
apology can best be told by a certain barber
in the house of representatives who attended
to that gentleman's wants.
Zone day the big man from Maine settled
himself in the BARRIERS chair and requested
q shave. When the operation was completed
MI. Reed Strengthened himself and asked:
Have you any of that old-fashioned pomade
to wax mustaches with?'
1.-The barber hustled among his pots and
jars and produced French preparation in
vogue a quarter of century ago, and then
proceeded to wax the ends of the Maine
statesman's few wirelike hairs.
when the man of snapshot sentences
arose and contemplated himself in the glass
he turned to the astonished barber and said:
Cut this blanked-blan mustache off, for
you have made me look like COMPOUNDED
catfish
'.Since then Mr.. Reed has not worn any
covering beneath his nose."- Washington

Blixt VIII STAY.


The state board of pardons denied
the applications for pardon made by
Claus A. Blixt, and James Terry (col-
ored), who threatened to shoot the late
Judge Seagrave Smith the day of his
conviction. The most urgent case be-
fore the board was that of Albert Du-
nal, convicted of murder in the first
degree in jackson county, and SEN
fenced to hang. The board deferred
positive action on his case until Ian. 20.
The case of George A. Durham, the
former Minneapolis alderman, was al
so considered. The reason assigned
Tor urgency in his case is the illness of
his wife. The plea was taken under
advisemeut.
John Leonard, sent up from Mime
apolis for grand larceny, can be pa
rolled in September, if his prison be-
havior is good.

Burned to Death.


-Four children of Michael Kerrich, a
farmer living about Is miles east of
Little Falls, persisted in a fire that de-
stroyed their house. Five children
slept upstairs and the parents and
three other children slept downstairs
The family had retired, and the first
intimation that the parents had that
the house was on fire was when their
Oldest daughter fell headlong down
the stairs enveloped in flames. The
ire in her clothing was quickly smoth-
cred and the father made several at
tempts to reach the other four, but was
baftled by the flames, and only gave up
trying after being nearly overcome by
the heat and terribly burned himself.
The four children were all girls and
their ages ranged from to Is years.
The Oldest daughter was also badly
burned, but will recover.
A Suicide.
j. X. Sutton, editor and manager OF
the Daily Reporter, Logansport, Ind,
was found dead in a chair at the top
OF second flight of stairs in build
ing at St. Paul. A revolver was in his
right hand and bullet wound was in
his head. Business trouble is thought
to be the cause of the suicide. Sutton
had been on trip to Portland, Ore,
and was on his way back to Logans-
port. He reached st. Paul, walked
about until he found dark stairway,
and mounting this he ended his life.
