There are two men In Southport, Conn,
who have the razor fad. There is a good
deal Of rivalry between them, though It
has not yet come to a clash OF weapons.
The reason is that the two men have be-
come adopts not so much in welding
razors as in collecting them, studying their
material, telling their age as a farmer
does that of a horse by Its teeth, and re-
lating stories of who used them, or how
they were obtained from some distant
country or strange civilization.
The two Southport razor connoisseurs,
relates the New York Tribune, are H..
H.. Perry and Francis p. Sherwood. The
first prides himself on being the Father
OF Razor Collectors" while the second,
although confessing he first obtained the
idea from Mr., Perry, nevertheless believes
that he has a superior collection. Mr..
Perry now has 400 raoZrs, while MI. Sher-
wood can fall back on $50, including some
extremely rare blades.
The members Of the Perry amily were
not only good shavers when young, but
when grown men as we'll. So many razors
lay about his house that, eight years ago,
Mr.. Perry cut himself with the idea Of
making n collection of razors. Accord
ingly, he asked all his relatives to send
Ahiih Nv AaNOiSt anu SOOh ~ Adu ObNdlIltu a
large number. Many of these razors have
a family history. One shaved his grand
father. and another scraped of the first
down from his fathers chin.
But the family collection only sharpened
Mr.. Perry's ambition. Every razor he got
seemed to whet his desire for more. Mr..
Perry then began visiting pawnshops in
this city, Boston, New Haven, Hartford
and Bridgeport, and whenever he saw a
razor In a window within the shadow of
the emblem of st. Nicholas he would ask
to examine It, and would, in most in
stances, buy 1t for a few cents. When Mr..
Perry and his wife went abroad last fall
he continued his hunt for razors and drove
many a sharp bargain with European cut
lery dealers and curio merchants. Mrs.
Perry also began TO take a keen interest
In razors, although acknowledging that she
has seen things more beautiful. She some.
times worried over her husband in his ex-
plorations after razors, and feared he
might get into a scrape. but as yet. she
says. he has always come off without a
scratch.

over his spectacles-you know the way an
older man does when he wants to make a
younger one feel as II he we're as green as
pickles. He gazed at me fully a minute
and l stood turning at least three different
colors.
Then he yawned a little.
You want Fan?' he said. Her mother
told me. l hope you will be happy. Make
yourself perfectly at home
HE shook me by the hand. keeping his
other in its place in the book.
THAT was all.
Then vent back to Fan. I don't
think l ever felt smaller. l determined to
get even with him some time, when We
were better acquainted.
what did he say7' asked Fan.
cit isn't SO much what he said I am
swered gently. my lost composure having
returned, as what I said
81 thought 1t a pity that the speech
conned in the midnight hours should be
lost, so 1 recited 1t to Fan.
THAT is what l said.' l ended triumph
antly.
She was awfully overcome. / never saw
her so gentle and sympathetic as she was
the rest OF the evening.
81 have often wondered since then II Fan
ever asked her father what l really did say.
l don't believe she ever did, for she's aw-
fully proud Of me and she certainly could
not be II she knew"
When II comes to the financial part OF the
the spring bridegroom, although
he may be more or less OF a nonentity at
other times, has no reason to complain of
oblivion. He may not only pay for the
brides gift, the souvenirs for groomsmen,
the bouquet for the bridesmaids, but a hun-
dred other incidental expenses will keep
him from sinking into utter f~orgetfulness.
Said another bridegroom interviewed con-
corning this important event in his life:
THE one memory that stands out In M
mind with startling distinctness is the
fact thai / forgot to pay for the brides
maids bouquets. I had asked my hancee
to order them and have the bill sent to me,
as 1 thought she would know 80 much bet
ter what was appropriate. Then the mat
ter was entirely out Of my mind.
when we returned after a long and, ]
might add, expensive, honeymoon, one OF
the first callers at our nest was father-in-
law. Did he come to see how the turtle
doves were getting on? Not at all. After
he had looked disapproval at several ex-
pensive furnishings, he drew the bill from
the florist from his pocket and handed Il
to me, saying he thought there had been g
little mistake.
1.-THE bill was for 800 and I wondered
how / could have been such a fool as Il
have said 1t didn't matter how much they
cost. 1t did matter a good deal. II Seems
to me that II father-in-law had been a mar
of fine feelings he would have paid thai
bill without saying a word. No man likei
to face his past in that way"

search for razors Mr.. Sherwood has al
ways endeavored to obtain steel which had
a character Of its own. He wants a razor
with a past, so TO speak. For example, he
has a Roberts razor over a century old,
which was found in a secret drawer of an
ancient sea chest in a Fairfield farmers
attic. Here It had been since its former
owner had parted with II. This razor, Mr..
Sherwood says, recalls the time when Fair
field was a busy shipping center. and
cargoes OF rum. molasses and all kinds Of
queer things. found their way into the
port from the big world outside. An
other razor OF the Sherwood collection came
from the bottom of a we'll, where II had
been resurrected by a farmer, and ground
down so that II now looks more like a dag
ger than a razor.
Among Mr.. sherwood's collection are
many specimens Of finely etched blades,
although rust has obliterated some of tho
more delicate markings, Thus there is a
picture Of George Washington on one blade.
dressed in full Continental uniform, will
his name above his head and an inscrip-
tion beneath his feet. On another wide,
old-fashioned. heavy blade. made by George
Savage & Sons. Masonic emblems have
been etched. doubtless to convert a Mason
into being its user. On a third are three
links to catch the Odd Fellows trade.
This idea of catering TO certain senti-
ments is shown in several specimens,
mainly of English manufacture. On one
side of the handle of a Joseph Elliot blade
there is stamped H"New York" and on the
opposite side Independence" A reminder
of civil war times is to be found I'm a razor
which bears on its blade, THE Union Must
and Shall Be Preserved" More recent
specimens of steel etching show the Crystal
Palace of Londo and the Chicago Worlds
fair buildings.
The gem of the whole collection. accord
ing to Mr.. Sherwood. is a handsome razor
made by Mines of London. with a handle
of tortoise shell, in which are depicted
four hunting scenes. The first picture is
that of a man loading an ol~d-fashioned
flint lock musket. The second portrays
the hunter starting for the woods with his
dog. The next scene finds him firing his
fowling piece. and in the fourth the sports
man is returning home with the droop OF
fatigue, but nevertheless with a goodly
bunch of game.

The story of the Indian who, sentenced
to be hanged for murder. was allowed his
freedom without bonds upon his promise
to appear at the time and place fixed In
the decree for his hanging, a promise which

which comes from the same section. The

tiary, Its criminals are cared for by its
neighbor, Kansas. A man walked into the
prison at Lansing a few days ago and
presented a letter to the warden, which
said the bearer had been convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced for a term OF four
years. AS he was known to be honest, the
services of a sheriff were dispensed with on
the ground OF economy.

Lindeman was hurled against the

and the horse severly injured. By
ISLANDERS secured the horse andreturned
him to the owner Meanwhile the boy
senseless and bleeding at breast and
head, was removed to the Aultman

Lindeman is in a most critical condi-

may result in death. If he recovers at
all, the wounds in the head will, it
is feared, cause him to lose his reason.
