that the Lord will have no blessing
for that unfaithful servant He was a
servant all the time. He respected the
talent He did not lose 1t. But he
did not use II properly He seems to
represent very similar class to the

SURPRISE FOR THE BARBER
WieIder OF Razor Had No Idea How
Many Strokes Of Implement
Were Necessary.

The barber was just about to lean
over and ask the customer In a low
whisper II he didn't want facial mas
sodge." But the customer forestalled
him by looking up suddenly and ask
ing question himself.
How many strokes of the razor are
required In shaving the average man
Or. rather, how many strokes do you
make In shaving me. for instance?
%. dunno" replied the barber.
Never thought of It,"
But you must have some rough
idea. You've been in the business a
good many years, take IT,"
Yes. about nine years."
We'll. how many strokes do you
think It takes?"
20. mebby 15O--or ITS; not more'n
that"
You're wrong" laughed the GUS
toner. Some time ago fell into the
habit Of counting the razor strokes
when I'm being shaved, Just as a
means OF resting my mind; you can't
think about your business when you're
counting the short, quick strokes of
razor So I've got to be something
OF an authority on the subject. Count
Ing 1t as a stroke every time the razor
Is moved forward and drawn back
again. 1t takes between 600 and 700
strokes as a rule-that is on my face
II does-my boards pretty tough OF
course. when shave myself with a
safety razor 1t doesn't take anything
like as many because you can cover
more facial territory at single stroke.
l have been shaved In barber chair
with as few as 500 strokes. but as
rule 1t is nearer 700. Kind OF sur.
prises you. doesn't it?"
1T sure does" saws the barber.

Us SOLVED THE PROBLEM
BUSINESS Man Now Understands What
Becomes of Show Window
leftovers.

The mooted question of what be-
comes of the tempting displays of
cake, pies and other dainties which
delight the eye from the show win
dows OF restaurants, lunchrooms,
bakeries, ETC., is an old and familiar
one. These window displays are
frequently allowed to remain undis-
turbed for days, and of course the
toothsome morsels must dry up and
grow stale. The average person
often has wondered what eventu-
ally becomes of them.
One Pittsburg business man has
found the answer. He gets them in
neatly wrapped lunches for which
ne sends his office boy each day. For
many moons he has been putting up
with ossifled doughnuts, petrifed
sponge cake and other solidifed It'd
bits, but the limit of forbearance
was reached the other day when the
boy brought him an adamantine slab
OF gingerbread of harveyized infexi-
bility.
A few minutes later the dairy
lunch man received a second call
from the office boy, who handed him
a neatly wrapped parcel. Opening
it, he discovered the slab of ginger
bread and typewriter note say
ing:
This chunk of asphalt is re-
turned, as you failed to send along

is well that we keep in memory the
difference between the parable Of the
pounds and the parable Of the talents.
Both represented money. But talent
Is sixty times as valuable as a pound.
In the parable Of the pound each serv-
ant got one pound, but in the parable
of the talents the numbers given va
ried. In some respects all of Gods
people have one common footing and
common privilege Of service, as repre-
sented by the pound In another re-
spect their opportunities, privileges
and advantages vary, as represented
in the present study, the parable Of
the talents.
This is another parable of the King
dom. The Great Teacher himself went
into the far country, even heaven; but
before departing he delivered unto his
servants certain blessings, privileges,
opportunities-"to each according to
his several abilities" The beginning
of this parable was In the days Of the
Apostles when Jesus assembled up on
high and at Pentecost shed forth in
the Fathers name the holy spirit, com
municating a blessing upon each one
of his followers, as represented In the
talents and opportunities of each fol
lower. All through this Gospel Age
these servants have been making more
or less use of their privileges and more
or less wisely exercising themselves to
serve the Master. Some traded with |
their talents, or used them In preach |
ing. teaching, etc. And others hid |
them in the earth, perhaps under cares
and responsibilities. After a long time |
