FOR cURTAINED BARBER SHOP.
Woman DEGREES the Common Practice
Of Publicity.

Queer, isn't it, said the observ-
ant woman, that though American
men are modest individuals, they have
been content all these years to be
shaven and shorn and massaged in full
view OF any one who happens to be
passing. l mean that all the barber
shops are on the street level or below
1t, and with wealth Of uncurtained
glass front that allows a mans toilet
to be regarded as a matter Of public
interest. You might think this expos
ure was tolerated by the customer
only because 1t insures a good, strong
light for the delicate operation of
shaving; but not SO, for even at night
when the electric lights are glazing
down the shades remain up, and pedes-
TRANS may gaze upon unlovely lath-
cred faces in any barber shop they
pass. Going over a comparatively
small area last. week l counted 200
tonsorial parlors and not one of them
attempted even the gauziest screen
ing between It's customers and the
public gaze. Personally I don't con-
slider that a man is at his handsomest
under the BARRIERS hands, do you?"-

About the Ihsen House.

The Ibsen lovers all over the world
are interested in the argument that
Is going on in Christiania over the
purchase Of the "Ibsen house." Sigurd
Ibsen says that his father never owned
the house and only rented rooms in it,
and he opposes the idea. The citi-
zens. however, know wha. an attrac.
ton such a house would have for
tourists and are bent on adding it to
the sights Of the city. and so 1t is
that the fire Of genius burned to H.

burghers of the Norwegian city.

Curtains Down

A trip over the side streets that
lead TO Astor street in the restricted
district last night disclosed the fact
some OF the curtains were down and
some we're not down. All OF the cur
tains Of the places that are in plain
view from Bond street we're down,
but generally speaking the curtains
were up near Astor street. 1t is
stated that the police commissioners
ordered that all curtains on the side
streets be kept down to within eight
inches" from the bottom. Taken as a
whole the instructions Of the police
commissioners at their meeting were
Of a general and sensible nature, and
were to sensibly and reasonably en-
force the rule, AT first il was desired
that the places in plain view Of Bond
street be made to keep their curtains
down, and then later 1t seemed to be
the opinion Of the commissioners that
this same rule should apply to all the
places on the side streets. To try to
enforce rule which required that all
curtains be kept down to within
eight inches of the bottom would be
reducing the matter TO an absurdity,
which perhaps some desire. Last
night Il was observed that some Of
the curtains were not down at all, but
in these places no one was in sight.

md you'd better come out and gel

and you'd better come out and get
him"
Nov the wonder is how the drake
ever managed to get back to the
Cornelius home. out on Young's
River. It is almost inconceiyable
that the drake could have walked that
distance, even il he had known the
way. Again, how could he know the
way? II also seems equally odd that
the slowly waddling duck could have
walked along the country roads back
to his home without being picked up
by somebody, or perhaps killed by
dogs.
OF course another theory is that
the handsome old drake saw the
simmer Of the Columbia River from
the hillside and managed to get down
to the waterfront, and then swan all
the way around Smiths Point until
he got into Young's River, and then
proceeded up the river until he found
himself in familiar waters. This
theory is plausible, but it means that
the drake swan some six or seven
miles in strange waters, and at least
a part Of the distance in rough wat
ers, too.
AT all events there has been con-
siderable amusement over this ''hom-
ing duck" and when Mr.. Spittle
learned that Mr.. Cornelius has had
similar experiences with other
ducks he had sold in the city. he be-
gan to think that perhaps he has all
of his ducks trained to go home Mr..
Cornelius laughs, and says that's
true.

ODD TALE OF \ DUCK
WHICH WENT HOME
FOUND ITS WAY CLEAR OUT
TO CORNELIUS PLACE ON
YoUNGs RIVER

Attorney Frank Spittle, who is
somewhat Of an amateur gardener
and horticulturist. conceived the idea
Of securing a couple Of ducks to run
about his place, the purpose Of the
ducks being to kill off the slugs and
other cut worms. Mr.. Spittle pur-
chased two ducks--a duck and a
drake-from T. S. Cornelius, the
county assessor. and as they didn't
seem very much at home, he securely
fenced them in small enclosure.
But the drake was homesick. He
wanted to get out-wanted to get
back home. Several times he got
out of the enclosure, and at last he
disappeared altogether. Mr.. Spittle
got all the small boys in the neigh
borhood to aid in the search for the
drake. but he was gone and could not
be found anywhere. It wasn't sup
posed he could have gotten more than
a block or so from the place, because
his short waddling steps wouldn'.
carry him very fast or far. Now
comes the interesting part of the
story.
The other morning Mrs. Cornelius
called up the Spittle home to ask how
the ducks were getting along.
"AlI right, replied Mr.. Spittle,
only one Of ems gone"
Mrs. Cornelius laughed. and then
she said, We'll, he's out here again.
