The poorest excuse Of a man is he
who is generally beloved and has no
enemies" To say that Of a man is
simply to declare in genteel terms
that he has no backbone" whatever,
that is so entirely lacking in moral
courage that he would never dare say
his sole was his own. Such men con-
slider themselves extremely popular
but their popularity is only bubble;
nothing more. That class of men are
afraid to have any other than the
puny emotions, and true friendship is
too rugged for them. They have no
enemies, but it is just as true that
they have no friends 1t is the man
who has "iron" in his soul, who knows
not the meaning of fear or failure, who
has high ambitions and achieves them
in spite of opposition is such as he
will have staunch friends, and bitter
enemies, too. But his comfort will be
that his enemies are not good mC1.

Barber Shop Hist0Ty.

G. E. Courtney, CornelPs rowing
coach, was having his hair cut one
day in barber shop ON State street, in
Ithaca, when a very young freshman
entered.
The lad seated himself in that re-
cumbent attitude which men assume
when they desire to be shaved, and a
barber, smiling-for the boys face
was altogether beardless- tucked a
towel about him, lathered him, and
then, strolling to the doorway, began
TO smoke cigarette.
The freshman waited In silence a
few minutes. Then he loudly ex-
claimed:
Hey, what are you doing there?"
Smoking" said the barber.
"Well, why don't you shave me?'
II am waiting" the barber am
swered, "Ior you beard to grow

True to his promise the president
has issued a call for an extra session
of congress to convene on Monday,
Nov. 8. This simply means that con-
gress will meet four weeks earlier than
the appointed time and will consider
various matters not acted upon at the
last session, among them the Cuban
reciproslty measure. The Aldrich
currency bill may also be advanced
for passage, though the action of the
bankers, recently in session in San
Francisco seems to indicate that no
measure fol-. currency reform is needed
at this time and the bill in question
may thus be relegated to posterity.
The necessity for larger circulating
medium has caused to exist and until
another crop season is reached there
will be plenty of money for all legiti-
mate purposes. Bankers see in an
elastic currency too great a temptation
for over trading and over speculation.

Barrie and the Editors.

Soon after J.. M. Barrie leaped into
fame the editors of three London jour-
nails for which he had done a good deal
Of work determined to give dinner in
his honor. Mr.. Barrie accepted the in
vitation, and in due course the three
knights of the pen and scissors and
their distinguished guest sat down to-
gether. The hosts, knowing their con-
tributor only by his work, fully antici-
pated a ''feast Of reason and a flow of
SOUL" However, the soup and fish
were consumed without a word from
Mr.. Barrie, or, at least, with nothing
beyond noncommittal grunts. Despite
frantic efforts to lure him into CONVEX
sation, it was not until he rose to put
on his coat that he made the first and
last remark that he uttered during the
evening, 'Weel, this is the first time
I've ever had dinner with three ed

BetrOthed at Birth.

In some parts of west Africa the
girls have long engagements. On the
day of their birth they are betrothed to
a baby boy a trifle older than them
selves, and at the age OF twenty they
are married.
The girls know Of no other way of
getting a husband, and SO they are
quite happy and satisfied. AS wives
they are patterns of obedience, and the
marriages usually turn out a success.
This way Of managing the affairs of
the heart would hardly suit an indie
pendent American girl, but it seems to
answer on the west coast.
