prietors of good shops do not permit their men to be noisy or talkative.
 However. I think 1t is something Of mistake to suppose that barbers of the present do not like to talk almost as well as their predecessors of the days when the barber shop was the public gathering place and news bureau, as 1t were for the whole town in which 1t happened to be located. I have an idea that barbers like to talk as much now as they have always in the past, but In order to att tract custom they are forced to main- tain silence. It is easy enough to get one started in conversation if you so desire. although I must confess that there are exceptions to all rules. I have known knights of the razor who rivaled the Sphinx in keeping silence"

 LULLABY OF HIMALAYA BABY

From the Chicago Journal.
 In certain parts of the Himalaya noun tains the native women have singular way of putting their children to sleep in the middle of the day. The child is put near a stream of water, and by means of a palm leaf or tin scoop the water is defiected so as to run over the back of the ehild's head. The water pouring on the child's head apparently sends 1t to sleep and keeps it so. while the mother proceeds with her work in the fields. No one seems ever to fear that the baby may be drowned

Talking In Barber Shops.

q recall that there were formerly many jokes circulated at the expense of the talkative barber but they are out of place now, and can no longer be applied to the barbers of today said a lawyer who is also an observer. Nowadays si- lepce Is characteristic of all first-class barber shops and unless customer shows disposition to talk he will find the barbers rather uncommunicative.

estimated for depth OF IS feet.
so it is thought it may be built
to a depth OF 40 feet, which IS
the depth the "Narrows" or
entrance to New York harbor is
being cut.
The Commission is working
tentatively at the Culebra cut,
which is the deepest on the line,
and keeping an accurate record
of the cost. This will enable the
Commission to prosecute the
whole work intelligently and
economically, or will furnish re-
liable data for letting contracts if
it is decided to do any part of the
work by contract.
It is evident, SO far, the Com
mission has proceeded cautiously
and wisely in its preliminary
work, much of which looks to
the improvement of the sanitary
conditions which usually prevail
in low-lying tropical regions. 1t
is thought that these can be SO
improved that white laborers can
live and work without any extra
ordinary danger from climatic in
fluences.
1t should not be surprising if
American genius and energy
practically completed this work
within FIVE years. The president
is unquestionably in earnest
about this work. His prompt
recognition of Panama was Just
and right and also made neces-
sary by our interest on the 18TH
mus. There is not the shadow
of doubt that had not the presi-
dent taken the prompt and de-
cisive action he did conditions
would have sprung up which
would have delayed the building
OF the canal for years, possibly.
have defeated the whole project.
In face OF this no act of his ad-
ministration has been so grossly
and maliglantly misrepreseuted
as this.
We shall not say that Demo
Gratis do not desire the construc-
ton OF this canal, for we do not
believe so; but we do think that
the misrepresentation indulged
by the Democratic press. leaders
and candidates gives just reason
to fear that it is inspired by those
great corporate interests which
have so bitterly and determindly
opposed the work through all the
years.

Many of the country school
houses in Benton county need re-
pairing before the rainy weather
sets in. There is broken step
which needs fixing, upon which
some boy or girl may be injured;
there are broken window panes
that need replacing, loose boards
that should be nailed down and
many other little things that add
greatly to the comfort of both
teacher and pupils, should be
looked after. It's first of all
necessary to see that all are both
warm and dry, hence the neces-
sity of patching the leaky roof
and filling the empty shed with
good wood, ready for use. These
little things go very far toward
making the teacher cheerful and
pupils who would otherwise hate
the schoolroom are made to like
it.

of hoodlums, but it frightened
several women out of their wits.
It happened down near the old

night last week. Two men were
apparently in angry alteration,
a volley of pistol shots rang out
on the still night air, then fol-
lowed the sound of horses hoofs

been done, but all was still. 1t

No HEAL APATHY.

The country never passed
through a political campaign in
which people showed SO little
concern as marks the present one.
Even in the states where the par
,ies are most active popular en-
,hnsiasm is not greatly in evil
4ence.
This condition has been as
embed to Several causes. Some
assert that the people have
already determined what party
they will support and are quietly
awaiting the 9Th of November
when they may express their
choice at the polls. Others be-
lieve it is because the people are
SO we'll satisfied with the present
administration of national affairs
and so confident that there will
NO change from present policies
they find no reason tor discussing
any change of party and party
purposes.
Yet others declare we are so
absorbed IN money'getting, SO
permeated with a low, mean,
selfish spirit of commercialism
that we are dead to all sense Of
our civic duties.
1t is probable that all of these
things contribute mere or less to
the seeming apathy shown so far
IN the campaign. There can be
NO doubt that thousands of voters
have decided which candidate
they shall support. The press,
aided by the telegraph, the fast
train and rural mail delivery dis
cusses every political principle
and policy involved in the cam
paign and conducts the discus
sion at every mans freside.
Mnch of the old-time concourse
and noise and emotional effer-
yescence, which is usually named
enthusiasm, are displaced by
qniet earnestness.
Doubtless the mass of plain
everyday people are satisfied
with the conduct of affairs, see
no real issue at stake, desire and
fear NO change of policy and ad-
ministration. They may appear
to be apathetic but there is nc
evidence that, when the oppor-
tunity comes, they will fail to
record at the polls their satisfac-
ton with existing conditions.
While it may be admitted that
our industrial and commercial
pursuits and the quest for ''the
almighty dollar'' are well nigh
all absorbing, and that a large
aud increasing number of men
appear to have forgotten their
civic duties as American citizens,
it is not yet true, and we fondly
hope it never shall be true, that
the mass of American freemen
have become so stepped in mere
mercenary commercialism as to
neglect the sacred duties of citi-
zenship.
We firmly believe that our peo-
pie are we'll satisfied with the
splendid results achieved through
Republican principles and poll
cies; that they have unbounded
confidence in the courage, hon
esty, fidelity, wisdom and rugged
American ideals Of Theodore
Roosevelt, and that they will
give the policies of the party and
his administration of the govern
ment the approval of such an
overwhelming majority as NO
president within forty years has
received.
