Who Trains the Barber?

In the BARRIERS saloon, as the razor

question may arise as to how shav-
ers acquire their practice. A cor
respondent put question on this
noint to a dexterous professional
shaver yesterday, and he said that'
oh. he got it by going to warehouses;
and prisons. (where the shavees had
no choice), by practicing on friends,
and on fellow.apprentices at penny-a-
shave shops. The correspondent gath
cred that the penny-a-shave people
were not fastidious, and that q cut
or two thrown in did not materially

A report recently issued by the

TOURISTS AT THE CAPITAL.
Queer Mistakes Of Visitors Seeing
Washington for the First Time.

In the spring the tourists fancy
lightly turns to thoughts Of Washing
ton. The streets Of the national capt.
tai are thronged with tourists-tour-
lists individually, tourists in groups
and tourists in excursions. The excur-
sionists may be known by many signs,
one of these being the tendency to
keep in step, as they move from sight
to sight. The capital is the objective
of all tourists. They pack the public
galleries.; they mass in the rotunda.
That all come for pleasure Is evident,
and that many come to learn is made
plain by the questions they ask.
Say" said a tourist on the terrace
of the capitol. accosting a Washing
tonian, one day this week, how al l
see Mount Vermont"
"By going there"
Going there, Yes, but I want to
know how 1 can see 1t from here"
you can't. 1t is Is miles distant"
Fifteen miles! Why, l thought 1t
was right across the river from Wash
ington."
A common delusion appears to be
that the president has quarters at the
capitol and may be zen there any
day. Another delusion is hat nobody
but the vice president ave occupies
the chair Of the presiding officer OF
the senate. Recently the vice presi.
dent slipped out to his private roo
for a few moments, calling upon Sen
ator McCumber to preside in his alb
sence. A tourist who had entered the
gallery after the North Dakotan had
taken the gavel was surprised, and
audibly exclaimed to his companion;
Fairbanks don't look a bit like his
pictures!"

And was 1t Mr.. Grayton who sent
her here?" she questioned. with flush

I shall have to take the responsibility
for that. Like most other people,

moment"
II hope you will never have cause
to regret following a generous i'm

rose from the table and made her way
once more upstairs.
Clement remained some time longer
and chatted with his mother, but
chiefly on financial affairs-a subject
of perennial interest and anxiety.
1t was a great trouble to her that
his proposed marriage with an heiress
had fallen through. She did not won
der that he felt bitter toward all
women. She hoped in time he would
get owe 1t, and that some other heir
ess would come his way. 1t seemed
the only means by which the ancient
glories OF Mawgan Chase could be re-
stored.
For tho moment, however, she felt
thankful that his antipathy to wom-
en- remained. During the early part
of the night she had spent an hour or
two with Marion. and she had been
impressed by her youth and beauty.
But she had been equally impressed
by the cut and quality of her clothing.
Certainly her dress was not such as
an English lady Of any position would
wear. Judging by the dripping gar
ments that were taken into the kitch-
en- to dry, she might have been born
and bred in the country and made her
own clothes.
Now, according to present appear
ances, this young oman would be in
the house for m indefinite time.
When she was able to get downstairs
Clement would be thrown into her
company. Taking into account the
fact tbat he had been largely instru-
mental in saving her life, the situation
was almost romantic. Hence, II he
were in an impressionable mood. there
might be danger. Young men were
often foolish where women were con
cerned, especially il the women were
good looking, and that this young wo-
man was good looking there was no
denying. Therefore, all things consid-
cred, it was very fortunate that Glenn
ent still cherished the feelings he did
toward women. 1t would be nothing
less than a calamity if he were to
fall in love with an unknown and pen
niless girl.

METHOD OF PERSUASION.
How a Determined Mother Obtained a

1t becomes evident from the follow.
ing story, which halls from a North
country town, that there are widely
varying ideas in existence as to what
constitutes voluntary testimony on
any subject, says Tit-Bits.
Did l understand you to say that
this boy voluntarily confessed his
share in the mischief done to the
school house," asked the magistrate,
addressing the determined looking fe-
male parent OF a small and dirty boy
charged with being concerned in a
recent raid upon an unpopular school.

Tired and dusty the excursion was

Simkins, a little bald man with big
ears, overcome with his day of happi-
ness, dropped off to sleep. In the hat
rack above another passenger had de-
posted a ~ferocious crab in a bucket,
and when Simkins went to sleep the
crab woke up and, finding things dull
in the bucket. started exploring. By
careful navigation Mr.. Crab reached
the edge of the rack, but the next mo
ment down it fell, alighting on Sim
kins' shoulder. Not feeling quite safe
it grabbed the voluminous ear of SIM
