WOULD MAKE A CLEAN SWEEP.
Comment of Backwoodsman When
He Saw His First Train.

When the White River branch Of
the Missouri Pacific railroad was com
pleted, the first regular scheduled
train was widely advertised through
out the country which it traversed
Natives came for miles around and
the day had been proclaimed by the
town officials as one of cause for jol
LITIGATION, learning and also a barbe
cue The heretofore inland town had
turned out every man, woman and
child within it's borders, and the small
station, with its curious attractiveness
and narrow capacities, was overflow.
ing. One elderly man and the "old
woman" had travelled many miles to
see this, their first railway train. Be-
ing skeptical at venturing too near
the depot platform while the much
advertised ozark Limited was
speeding its mightiest over the new
roadbed, they had sought safety on
the highest hill near by, where their
position afforded an excellent view.
All of a sudden the train-came crash
ing around the closest curve, painting,
snorting and putting, and the whistle
bell and steam cocks were sending
forth their weird sounds that brought
fear to all who heard. Within a sec
ond it had passed the station and was
hidden from view around a hill, leav.
ing only streak of smoke, dust and
flying papers in its path. The pair
on the farthest hill We're amazed. be.
wildered and dumbfounded. Turning
to the old man the woman asked:
We'll, cad. what do you think of her?"
We'll, mother, that's a blasted good
invention s long as she comes through
here head fo'most," replied the old
man, but" he added, "if she ever
comes through sideways it'll sweep
tfie hull durn country. Lii

RAzoRs THAT COST MUCH.
Some Gold Handled That Sell for $50
Handles of silver and of Ivory.

If q man were content to shave
himself with a razor having a hard
rubber handle as indeed most men
are, he could buy one with blade OF
very excellent quality for a dollar;
but there are razors far more expen.
sive than this.
Thus, there are sold razors with
handles of is karat gold, and of plain
SMOOTH finish, that bring $50 each
a pair of such razors in plain sill
yer box can be bought for hundred
dollars
But $50 is not the limit of what one
may pay for gold handled razor. If
the handles We're deliberately chased
its cost might mount up to twice that
or 5000 for pair.
There are also sold, among those
more expensive, silver handled razors
which range in price from $3.50 to $50
each; $3.50 being the price for one
with plain silver handle, while those
more costly have their handles more
or less deliberately chased or carved
A man who did not altogether like
hard rubber handled razor might
Ind his fancy suited with one having
n handle of ivory; and an ivory ham
dfed razor need not necessarily be ex-
pensive; a razor with a plain ivory
handle can be bought for two dollars.
OF course any carving would add to
the cost.
Costly razors are usually sold for
gifts.

so0ef PMces or LABOR.
Natural Result Of American Demand
for Dates.

For a long time the export of dates
from the Persian gulf to America was
in the hands of one or two firms. Now
the field has been entered by others.
and during the past season six con
Germs in Maskat were packing dates
for American exporters. This compe-
dtion serves to keep the price we'll up,
as the date caravans come in from
the interior and sell their cargoes at
auction. Contracts for future delivery
are often made with growers and
money advanced, but even then deliv-
cries are usually made subject to the
prices prevailing at the time. There
has been some difficulty experienced
this year in securing labor to pack
the dates for the American market.
This work is done by women, and the
increased trade resulted in a scarcity
of hands and ap increase of wages. If
the situation. exists again next year it
can probably be met by importing
labor either from India or Baluchistan
for the packing season, which begins
in August and is usually over early in
January at the latest.
