A Monte Vista man who lately
visited Denver was recounting an
experience the other day very SINH
lar to the above. He ventured
into one of the parlors and re-
quested "A shave. The barber
urged him to submit to "A haircut.
arguing that shave wouldn't
show up well with scraggly hair.
The victim consented, and in the
meantime was induced to allow
the highwayman to apply some
cream TO the shaved portions Of
his neck and face. After launch
ing "A facial massage and shampoo

begun to look upon as good
thing, and failing to land more. the
barber suggested smuggling to give
life to the hair. In desperation.

large city piteously asked for
freedom. the towel was untucked
from the mans chin and he
emerged wiser and sadder, His
hard hearted pursuer counted over

working but honest man who had
been stung far from home and
friends. In passing, however. we
might say "A shave is one of the
things not listed in mail order

 Once having made up his mind, Isa- Dey made hurried plans to put the scheme into execution. Servants were dispatched to buy numbers of undresssd dolls; others were sent to shops to buy rich fabrics and gay tinsel of gold and silver.
 Then the painter set to work. First. he painted the faces of the dolls to rep- resent the features of those who were to take part in the pageant. Then from the heap of costly cloth he cut pieces and deftly fashioned them into beautiful robes. exact counterparts of those to be worn at the coronation.

Himself the Enemy

A N OLD Norse legend tells of one "A of the kings of Northland who 4 A was a mighty warrior, and so mtronR that none other could stand awalnet him in combat. There was no man living whom he feared.
 But one dark and cloudy night he was set upon by an enemy who seem ed to know In advance his every de- fenss. and who was able to forestali all his moves and grips and thrusts. In vain the king sought to free him- self. He felt that he was being ehoked to death.
 Then, as the clouds parted for a mo- nent. the king caught a glimpse of his enemy, and, lol he saw his own face. So it was he found that he was his own greatest enemy.

 'I have now made the pellet travel from underneath the lower thimole to the inside of the upper thimble. ...
 Sure enough, when he raised the top thimble. there was the pellet. while the bottom thimble was empty.
 OTHER ASTONISHING FEATs
 Amid great applause Dan went on with his next feat. On the table he laid a square piece of paper and upon 1t placed a coin. Over the coin nc placed a glass. Then over the glasa he slipped a cylinder of pasteboard. Raising both the glass and the cylin- der together. he showed that the coin had disappeared from the table. But when he laid the glass and cylinder again upon the table, and removed the cylinder. the coin rested on the square piece of paper under the glass as be- fore.
