MEN AND THEIR HAIR.
PecuIiarities That Puzzle the Bar
Who Notices Things.

The secretive, taciturn barber was
finally induced to talk. He remarked:
'I've noticed one popularity about my
customers that I could never quite eX-
plain-the less hair a man has the
more attention he pays to 1T.
"There's a man who comes in here
nearly every week for a hair cut, and
IL / shaved him clean from the back
Of his collar to his forehead you'd
never know that I'd touched him. He's
got short, light colored fringe that
plays around under the rim of his hat
like the soft, fluffy fringe you see on
those shawls the women wear over
their shoulders, but you'd think, to hear
him, that he could braid it and do it up
in coils. Wants me to be particular
and trim it close on the neck and
around the ears. | humor him, Of
course | take handful Of somebody
elses hair and sprinkle it on the cloth
] put on him, and then | snip the air
gently for ten Or fifteen minutes and
make great ado when / whisk him
off.
"And when he leaves the chair and
says he mustn't let it grow SO long
again say it was pretty long. l hope
the Lord will forgive me. Nine out Of
every ten Of the baldheads are that
way, but men who've got plenty Of hair
will keep away from here until they
look like edges Of an old fashioned hay
loft. It's curious, and, as said, !
never could account for it"-prOyi-

A LEPAGE PICTURE.
The work That Brought the Artist
Public Recognition.

The work That Brought the Artist
Public Recognition.
The label on a certain spring water
still in use was designated by Du
Maurier, who was probably not over
paid for it, and New York artist who
has since gained distinction eked out
the hardest part of his early struggles
by designing advertisements for
commercial house. There have been
many more perhaps, but the most con-
spicuous on record Is Bastien Lepage,
who through this very fact was forced
into fame. He was pursued by unmer-
ciful disaster through his youth in his
efforts to study art. His mother worked
in the fields to keep sickly boy at
school. At fifteen he went alone to
Paris, starved for seven years, painted
without success, but stiIl-painted. He
had just finished a picture to send to
the Salon when Paris was besieged,
and he rushed with his comrades to
the trenches.
On the first day she'll fell into his
studio and destroyed his picture, and
another shell burst at his feet, wound
ing him. He was carried home and lay
i'll and idle for two years. Then he re-
turned to Paris and, reduced to abso-
lutte want, painted cheap fans for
living.
One day q manufacturer of some pat
ent medicine ordered picture from
him to illustrate it's virtues. Lepage,
who was always sincere, gave his best
work to this advertisement. He paint
ed landscape in the April sunlight.
The leaves of tender green quivered in
the breeze. A group Of beautiful young
girls gathered around q fountain from
which the elixir Of youth sprang in
bubbling stream. Lepage believed there
was real merit in it.
"Let me offer it at the Salon?" he
asked his patron.
The manufacturer was delighted.
"But first paint rainbow arching over
the fountain" he said, with the name
OF my medicine upon It,"
Lepage refused.
'.Then | will not pay you n sou for
the picture
The price of this picture meant bread
for months, and the painter had long
needed bread. The chance of admis-
sion to the salon was small He hesi-
tated. Then he silenced his hunger and
carried the canvas to the salon. It was
admitted.
It's great success insured Lepage
public recognition, and his later work
gained him q nlapo 0monu tba trrpa test

A Swift Ride.

George Willis took rapid ride
through town Thursday afternoon,
and under other circumstances
would stand a chance of being ar
rested for fast driving. He was
driving team of young horses
owned by Joe Wilson, and while
crossing the culvert at the upper
end of Main street the patent fastner
on the neck-yoke broke and allowed
the pole to run through it, which al
lowed the vehicle to run upon the
horses heels. The animals became
frightened and ran. Mr.. Willis
guided them into the street south of
the postotfice and there succeeded in
stopping them. No damage to speak
of and no one hurt, although several
people came near being run over.
