in the fire of 1897 the history of the
lodge must be told from the memory
of the members.

CHAT WITH THE BARBER.
Men Don't Cut Their own Hair, bu
May Trim Their Beard.


May Trim Their Beard.
NO" said the barber, II never knew
of a man that cut his own hair, but l
know of a man who trims his own
beard. He is a 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 exactly
as he wanted IT, and so he took to
trimming 1t himself. He bought him
self clipper for the sides of his face
and then, with pair OF shears, he was
all equipped.
He trims his beard every day, and
he makes a pretty good job or II. y
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, be-
cause he's improved in his work, and
now he turns out a pretty good job.
So there's one man, anyway, that
trims his own beard, but never knew
anybody that cut his own hair.
You say you knew a man once that
had thirty-one razors, one for every
day In the month? Well. that's n good
many razors, more than | ever heard
of. A good many men have a case OF
razors, seven, one for every day in the
week, and plenty OF men own two or
three razors. But one razor will do R
man very well If it's a good one.
what about the idea that a man
ought to have more than one razor, so
that he can use razor one day and
then let 1t rest day, that a razor i'm
proves by resting? Well. don't take
much stock In that idea.
IF a mans got good razor and
he's got 1t in proper condition, 1t 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 il "A
to me to be sharpened, and l put it
into proper shape for him, and then he
starts in again with 1t, using it day
after day.
Don't l 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 razor any
time
Difference In razors? Why, GER
tainly. Some razors wear well and
keep their edge, and some don't. You
might buy two razors at the same
price at the same time and out OF the
same stock Of razors, very likely, prob
ably, In fact. made at the same time
from the same bar Of steel, and find
them very different. It's in the tenn

report states, SO steamers and So sail
ing vessels running into danger were
warned of their peril by the signals of

1910 days relief was furnished. Four
hundred and twenty casualties were
sustained by undocumented vessels,
such as sail boats and row boats, in
volving 955 persons, 10 of whom were
lost The value of property involved
in these casualties is estimated at
1894, $50, of which S25S,O25 was saved
The report concludes with an earn
est appeal for pensions to widows and
children of members of the life saw
ing crews losing their lives in the
performance of duty and for retire
ment when disabled from injury or dis
ease incurred in the service.
