 How easy it would be for me to cut mans throat while he is lying in the chair, l kept thinking. l was nervous when I shaved my next GUS toner, and made every effort to keep from cutting him. For several days I could not get the thought out of my brain that 1 could so easily kill 8 man.

Spencer's Idea for Reckonino.

Herbert Spencer offered a character. istically original system of reckoning. He clung to the duodecimal system. mainly because twelve can be divided by three and four, as ten cannot. But he suggested that all the advantages of both systems might be combined by making twelve the basis of calcula- tion, inventing two new digits to take the place of ten and eleven, and mak- ink twelve times twelve the hundred
 Spencer scornfully remarked that the decimal system rests solely on the fact that man has ten fingers and ten toes; if he had had twelve there never would have been any difficulty"

BARBER GOES MAD WHILE SHAW ING PATRON AND ATTEMPTS
 TO CUT HIS THROAT.
WHY ONE BARBER SOLD OUT
Samuel Hull Tells of a Fiendish De- sire He Had to Slay with His Razor Which Forced Him
 to Quit the Business.

phia.--Samuel Hull, keeper of restaurant in West Philadelphia probably was the most interested of any person who read of the desperate battle William Porter, a McKeesport business man, had with James Robin son, barber, who suddently went in sane while shaving Porter few days ago.
 Hull formerly was a barber and he gave up his trade because of the fear that he would some day cut the throat of one of his patrons. He read with interest the story about Porter's fierce fight for his life and does not share in the theory that excitement due to bas- ketball games made Robinson insane.
 Mr Porter entered the barber shop and took a seat in chair to be shaved. Robinson began talking very fast while whetting his razor, and Porter by the aid of glass saw a
