HARTMAN As SANTA CLAUS.
Gives Extra Months Salary to All Of
ficiaiS on Christmas.

L.
E. H. Hartman will probably follow
his custom of the past few years this
Christmas in the distribution of
months salary to all officers from SUI
perintendent upwards. At least the
officers of the Union Pacific. Southern
Pacific and Oregon lines will expect
this while the probability is that the
Illinois Central officers have also heard
of it, and will halfway except some
recognition as being Hartman men.
Perhaps there are a few bees buzzing
in Baltimore & Ohio officers hats, but
the exact identity of Mr.. Hartman
with the Baltimore & Ohio has hardly
been established publicly enough for
the Baltimore & Ohio men to expect a
Christmas present from him. 1t has
been Mr.. Harriman's custom for three
years past, according to the statement
of a Kansas City man who has seen
the personal checks more than once,
to present each officer with a check
equal to his months salary, and along
with this check a note of appreciation
from MT Hartman himself. The Gus
tom has been known several times to
include masters of the larger yards.

done through the year. Mr.. Hartman
is the only railroad executive who has
been doing this so far as is known.

the Uruguayan government of the ac-
ceptance of his offer to organize a
bureau of animal industry for that
government at a salary of $4,000 an

The Pennsylvania is to purge its
system of all graft The committee
selected from the directorate of the
company to investigate the charges
recently made, has submitted its re-
port which is most emphatic in its
recommendations. In part the report
says;
Under the conditions of today it
is essential that all officers and en-
ployes should be free to discharge
their duties impartially. Applying
this principle to the coal trade as an
illustration the keen competition of
today requires every officer and en-
ploye of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to part with any investment
which he has in the shares of any
coal-producing company, and also to
part with any interest which he has In
or with any firm or individual mining
coal on any lines of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railway system, and every officer
and employee should be required to re-
frain from any investment Whatsoever
which may possibly prejudice or af-
feet the interest of the company or
interfere with the full discharge of
its duty to the public"

Bradley, O., July 3.-All is quiet in
the mining regions. The presence OF
the sheriff and his force of heavily
armed deputies and the determined
stand taken by the citizens had its
effect on both miners and guards and
each side is giving the other wide
berth.
The order permitting the sherin to
disarm the guards and to search the
homes of miners for weapons has not
been delivered by the courts and it is
now thought not necessary.
The Law and Order League, organ
lied by farmers and merchants has
100 armed men ready at an instants
notice to take the field against either
side that attempts lawlessness. The
citizens are determined that the
promiscuous shooting must be stopped
il it is necessary to arrest every miner
and guard in the vicinity.
The wounded are all doing well and
1t is thought all will recover. The
sensational reports that dum-dum bull
lets were used are nailed by the inves-
tigation of the sheriff, who found
that the regulation 32-calibre Win
chester magazine ammunition was
used and that 43 bullets found lodg-
ment in the miners houses.
Sheriff Voorhees, says it will not be
necessary to call out the troops as he
has the situation well in hand.

The Word "Cannibalism."

The word "cannibalism" is really the
name of a people. 1t is identical with
Carib, many of the Caribs, who for
merly fourished In the West Indies,
having been consumers of human flesh.
The letters 81" m and 'r'' are inter-
changeable in certain aboriginal Ameri-
can languages, so that Columbus found
one West Indian island saying "Cani-
ba'' where another said "Carib," while
Shakespeare's Caliban is another va
riety of the same. Columbus own con-
lecture was that the name was con-
nected with the great khan, and later
philologists of the old slapdash type as
ISOLATED with '"canis," a dog. APP
parently, however, the meaning of
'.carib" was brave and daring.

SHAVE WITH HOT STEEL.
An Old Cutters Advice to Men VIII
Use a Razor.

An O1O Cuuter'0 AuV1Ce 10 Men WI NO
Use Razor.
whenever l hone a razor" said an
old English cutler, Il always give some
advice with it, free, gratis, and I take
great satisfaction in knowing that l
have made shaving easier and more
comfortable for more than 10000 men.
Almost every barber will tell you how to
strop a razor, but it takes a cutler to
tell you how to care for your strop and
how to get the best work out of your
blade.
"A swing strop, canvass on one side
and horse hide on the other, is the best.
Always hold it taut and draw the razor
lightly, but swiftly, from heel to point.
If you let the strop sag you will put
a round edge ON your blade. Don't for
get to cover your strop or put it away
in a drawer after using. If it hangs
in bathroom near a window the dust
and CRIME get into it and soon take
the edge from your razor. Whether
you keep the strop covered or whether
you don't, rub your open hand over the
two surfaces to free it from dust.
But what 1 consider my most valua-
BILE advice is how to do away with
shaving paper entirely and at the same
time improve the cutting quality of the
razor's edge. Nine men out Of ten
shave themselves in q room where
there is running hot water. Now. the
way to get most gratifying result is
this: Lather thickly and we'll and let it
remain on the face half a minute be-
fore you begin to shave. If you have
time wash it off, for with it will come
the grit and dirt that you have loosen
ed up in the pores Of the skin, and then
apply a second coat 1t will be as soft,
smooth and clean as new velvet.
Now turn on the hot water faucet
and let it run. Hold the razor under
the stream until it is heated. Then
take slanting, or diagonal, stroke, like
farmer does with scythe, not a
square pull, and you will be amazed to
find how beautifully and easily the no,
blade cuts the beard
When 1t is filled with lather hold /,
under the running hot water instead OF
using shaving paper. This will wash
off the lather and at the same time
heat the blade again. Don't be afraid
Of taking out the temper. That would
be impossible if you put the razor in a
kettle and boiled it, Try the hot blade
and you'll never shave with the cold
steel again. New York World.
