- A SAGACIOUS BARBER.
HOW He Keeps His CustoheHo In
Willingness to Await
E.is. Their Turn. -2a a

a barber in Brooklyn has solved the
problem Of keeping customers who are
an hurry from running away when
they see all the chairs occupied. He
has fitted up gorgeous new shop, and
back of it has arranged q gorgeous
taste. It has heavy mahogany tables
and luxurious easy chairs, and scat
tered around are not only all the chief
illustrated periodicals of the day, but
;also well-bound popular novels, Mac
aeulay's history, some of the poets, and
two or three foreign comic papers and
illustrated art journals. A customer
on taking his seat, is asked politely if
he would Like to see comic paper, a
sdaily, "or, perhaps" says the next
hair-trimmer, you would prefer his
tory or a book Of poems" The shop
lis a great success.
"You see" said the proprietor, 81
used to make my men nervous to know
1hat their particular patrons were sit
ting on the anxious seat waiting for
their turn. Not only did the man in
the chair get less attention, but
often lost customers who were too
impatient to wait. Now, a man comes
in in hurry, sees the chairs are full;
and goes into the parlor, takes up a
book, finds nice easy chair and cool
ecorner,sand forgets all bout his hurry.

A PARCHED MOUTH.
An Infallible Sign That Will BetP0y
IN Anxious or Worried
Condition.

It is not alone the hot weather or
hard work that makes your mouth
dry; anxiety, serious trouble gener-
ally, will parch your mouth and
throat more quickly and effectively
than anything else.
There are persons who will not be-
tray in the least degree, by their
looks and general demeanor, that
they are worried. Many criminals,
for instance, appear as cool as GU
cumbers, although they are inward
" much perturbed; but to an at
tentive observer the state of their
minds is made clear by the parched
mouth.
You may take it for granted that
person who is a prey to deep ankle
ty will show signs of difficulty in
speaking; that is because his mouth
and throat are dried; and you will
see that he rolls his tongue about
in order to moisten it. He must be
a very cool individual who can pre-
vent that sign of anxiety.

AROUND THE WORLD.
a Trip That Has Never Been Made
Despite All Claims to the
CONTRARY.

No one has yet really made jour-
ney round the world, says a reliable
authority. The course usually fol-
lowed is approximately about 10000
miles in length. The shortest time for
this distance is that made by George
Griffith, an Englishman, who accom-
plished the distance in 64A days, as an
ordinary passenger, via Suez and Hong
Kong.
The only way to make real trip
around the world would be at the
equator, where the circumference is
24,s55 miles, nearly 5000 miles longer
than the usual route.
Some years ago an Italian offered to
accomplish this task in three years,
provided the necessary funds were
found; but nothing came of it. 1t is
extremely doubtful whether such a
feat is within the realms of possibility,
as the man rash enough to undertake
it would have to spend months in the
pestilential basin Of the Amazon, hew
his way for hundreds of miles through
the terrible Congo forest and cross
the great twin islands of Sumatra and
Borneo. in a latitude where fever of
the deadliest description is everywhere
prevalent

A DEAD HEAT.
GilIigan and Dorsey Bump Into Each
Other,

ciIIigan and Dorsey Bump Into Each
Other.
The much talked of foot race be-
tween Jonn Gilligan and R. c. Dorsey
was pulled off at the base ball grounds
last night. A large crowd was pres
ent attracted by the unique manner
in which the race was to be run and
much interest was manifested in the
affair.
Originally the race was timed to
start at 8 o'clock but through a mis-
understanding by one of the princi-
pals it was about $3.50 when the men
toed the scratch. Under the condi-
tons of the race the home plate was
to be the place of beginning and each
man was to run in opposite directions
around the diamond, touching each
base in succession, the first man
reaching home base on completing the
circuit to win the purse When the
arrangements for the race were first
made it was decided to run for a bar
rel of beer, but this was afterwards
changed and purse of S. substituted.
Under direction of James Conlon.
who acted as master of ceremonies,
the two sprinters made an excellent
start and were off in a cloud of dust,
Gilligan starting by way of first base
and Dorsey making the circuit by way
of third base. Johnnie took the lead
from the start and at second base was
several feet ahead of his op-
creased the lead on the home stretch,
ponent. He increased the lead
on the home stretch, and would
have been an easy winner,
but he became excited and flew the
track, cutting home plate by several
feet on the inside. The two runners
collided with great force and Gill
gan was sent rolling on the ground
Dorsey was caught by a bystander
and saved from falling and was the
first to reach the goal. The race was
his, but he waived his claim in view
of Gilligan's mistake and the Judges
decided it dead heat. It is probable
the two men will meet again to run
off the tie in the near future.
After the completion of the big race
Gilligan and Fred Saurbier sprinted
around the diamond and this also was
decided a tie.

SHOOTING At JENNINGS.

Injured Man Was Shot In self-De-
Tense.
The man who was shot at Jennings
yesterday was not brought to Kalis-
pell last night as was expected, his
condition being such that it was
thought best not to move him. The
shooting was the result of a bar-room
brawl and, it is said, was done in
self-defense. The bullet entered the
stomach and came out at a point near
the right hip. The names of the par
ties interested can not be learned, but
it is thought the wounded man will b..
brought to Kalispell tonight. The
party who dia the shooting is under
arrest but the wounded man refuses
to prosecute him. DR.. Howsley of
Libby was called and is in charge of
the injured man.

DANCER FROM
FOREST FIRES
Big One Raging on the Flat
head Reservation
OTHERS IN PROSPECT
Forest Rangers Kept on the Jump. Dry
Weather Makes Damaging Fires
More Likely.

oPcCAdA correspondence 10 Inc bee:
Forest fires at different points on
the Lewis and Clarke reserve have
commenced to give forest rangers con-
siderable trouble. During the past
week two fires have been started from
unknown causes. One of these was
about six miles up Swan river and the
other in the neighborhood of Bear
Dance. Fortunately in both cases but
little damage was done and the fires
died a natural death.
A forest fire on the Flathead Indian
reservation has now burned almost a
month and a vast territory has al
ready been burned over. The fire,
which seems to be spreading rapidly
instead of diminishing, is located on
the south side of what is known as the
Big Arm of Flathead LAKE and almost
directly south of Wild Horse Island.
The entire lower valley is covered
with thick cloud of smoke and at
night the flames of burning timber can
be plainly seen at the upper end of
the lake. Efforts made to control the
fire seem to have been in vain up to
the present time.
During the past two days there
have been extremely light rains over
the lower valley and as consequence
the danger Of fires on the hills has
been much lessened. The season has
been extremely dry and as a conse-
quence everything on the sides of the
mountains only await a spark to
spring into full sized forest fire.
Earnest Bond, forest ranger on the
east side of the lake and a part of the
Swan lake, was seen yesterday while
enroute down the east side. He said
that although no large fires of the
Flathead Indian reservation had been
reported that the rangers were kept
on the jump giving attention to the
small fires. It is not expected to get
through the season without at least
one large fire.
DR.. MacDougal and Prof Elrod left
the biological station yesterday on an
expedition into the South Fork dis
trict and will be absent about six days.
This part of the state has never been
traversed by scientists and it is hoped
that number of rare finds will be
made.
Fred Wyman, who has been in the
Tobacco Plains country during the
past month, has returned to his home
on the east side. He will at once COM
mence the construction of two cot
tages on his claim south of here.
Yesterday the two huge turbine
wheels in the power house of the Big
fork Electric Light and Power COM
pany sang merrily and the dynamos
commenced to make electricity for the
first time The plant is now ready to
be operated and Kalispell furnished
with as fine quality of electric eur
rents" as can be bought in any fruit
market.
An expedition left the biological
station this afternoon for the Swan
lake country and will be absent four
or five days. In the party were Mes.
sers. Kicker, Silloway, Harris, Locke,
Jones and Bailey. Miss Gehret and
Miss Roman also accompanied the
party. It is intended to establish a
camp at the foot of Swan lake.
