UNDYINC PLEA FOR BRYAN.
Defunct Enthusiast Has Unique
Verse Carved on His
Tombstone.

In the Bethel cemetery, near Wells
vile, Mo-, the following inscription is
found on the tombstone at the grave OF
Henry Norris, who died a few years
ago at the age of 81 years. 1t reads:
Kind friends l have left behind.
Cast your vote for Jennings Bryan"
H. B. Hudson, the marble dealer at
Montgomery City, is the author of the
unique verse. Norris was one of the
strongest silver men in the country,
and, with another man, had the envied
distinction of shaking hands with Mr..
Bryan when the latter was in Wells
vile few years ago
Norris remarked to his friends that
If they erected any kind of a monu-
ment at his grave he wanted a silver
verse inscribed upon it.
After his death, in April, his friends
"chipped" in for monument. Mr..
Hudson and Mrs. Oliver, wife of Judge
Oliver, of Montgomery county, were
appointed as a committee to think up
something appropriate
Mr. Bryan's attention was called to
this while he and Gov. Folk were on
the platform at Montgomery City dur
ing the recent campaign. Mr.. Bryan
smiled and called Folks attention to
the fact that they were near the spot
where the remarkable epitaph might
be read,

CHAT WITH THE BARBER.
he says Men Don't Cut Their Own
Hair, But Some Trim
Their Boards.

NO." said the barber, 81 never knew
Oh man that cut his own hair, but
know a man who trims his own beard.
He is very good customer of mine:
| have cut his hair for years, but
he trims his own beard.
He wears only a short pointed
beard on his chin, trimming the sides
Of his face closely. He never could
get a barber to trim his beard exact
ly as he wanted it, and so he took TO
trimming it himself. He bought him
self clipper for the sides of his
face, and then with a pair of shears
he was all equipped.
HE trims his beard every day. and
he makes a pretty good job of it. A
barber could tell that it was hand
cut, so to speak, but you couldn't
tell that now SO easily as you could at
first, because he's improved in his
work, and now he turns out a pretty
good job So there's one man. any,
way, that trims his own beard. but
| never knew anybody that cut his
own hair.
"You say you knew a man once that
had 81 razors, one for every day in
the month? Well, that's a good many
razors more than | ever heard of. A
good many men have case of razors,
and plenty of men own two or three
razors. But one razor will do very
well. if it's good one.
What about the idea that a man
ought to have more than one razor
so that he can use a razor one day,
and then let it rest day, that a razor
improves by resting? Well, l dom:
take much stock in that idea.
IF mans got good razor, and
he's got it in proper condition, it will
cut and keep on cutting. I've got a
customer who shaves himself with the
same razor right along, day after day
for six months Then he brings it in
to me to be sharpened, and l put it
into proper shape for him, and then
he starts again with it, using it day
after day.
Don't I use the same razor many
times a day? Sure. What you want
is a good razor in good order, and you
can shave with such a razor any.
time.
Difference in razors? Why, GER
tainly. Some razors wear well and
keep their edges, and some don't. You
might buy two razors at the same
price at the same time, and out of
the same stock, razors, very likely,
probably in fact, made at the same
lime from the same bar of steel, and
find them very different, It's in the
temper"

NOISES NOW UNNECESSARY
Ringing of Bells and Blowing Of
Whistles Are a Thing
of the Past.

One of the enterprising manufactur-
ing towns of Connecticut has started
crusade against the excessive ringing OF
mill bells and the prolonged blowing of
steam whistles The manufacturing eS-
adjustments are the life of the place,
and if the signals of prosperity are wei
coined anywhere in the world they
should be cherished in all their aggres-
slveness, one might suppose, in bust
ling and hustling Connecticut town.
The citizens of this particular place
reports the Philadelphia Ledger, draw
the line at los strokes of a big factory
bell at $50 in the morning, when most
of the inhabitants are enjoying the pro-
found sleep which settles upon one
about the dawn of day. 1t is suggested
by one of the disgruntled that the bell
ringing practice is a survival of the
period when there were few clocks and
no dollar watches.
1t is rank heresy to declaim against
the hustle Of trade, even if it take the
form of unnecessary racket, in a COM
munity which finds it difficult to differ
entiate between mere noise and prog
ress; but some of the citizens of Rock
vile, Conn.,, possessing the courage OF
conviction, are agitating the question
whether it is not possible to turn out as
much work from the factories with a
little less tumult in the bell towers and
terrific blasts of the big whistles.
There was time when the people
could not be assembled without the aid
of bell Within recollection every
schoolhouse was provided with one.
The childish mind is peculiarly oblivi-
Gus to punctuality in attendance al
school, yet several hundred Thousand
public school pupils in Philadelphia
manage to arrive in time for the first
morning lesson without the aid of any
signal save the home clock. In the ma
jority of the Pennsylvania counties the
courthouse is provided with bell. Lit
1gatlon apparently could not be con-
Quoted without it; but in New York and
Philadelphia the judges are able to oc-
cupy the bench, the lawyers, the suitors.
the witnesses and the jurymen their
places, more or less promptly, without
the assistance Of the bell in the steeple.
the fact is, great deal of very impor-
tant assembling is accomplished with
out such aid. The theory that nothing
is doing when there is no noise is ex-
ploded. In the early days of railroading
the time table was not sufficient to walk
en- the village, and it was thought essen
tlal that the depot as we'll as the loco
motive, should have bell to inform the
traveller that it was train time.

Moses himself was a sanitarian of NO

the principles established by him in
sanitary science might we'll be exploited
in modern times. The type of camp
which he established for the detention
of unfortunate lepers, well modified to
suit modern principles, would serve for
the check and practical elimination of
