firm of "Solly & Louis" knights of the
razor. within a long stones throw Of
the busting -four corners"
"Solly" had just been shown by the
Evening STAR man a dispatch from
st. Paul, Mimi, where the National
BARRIERS Supplies Dealers Association
has started a movement for scientific
management for BARRIERS to cut out
waste motions"
THE principle is wrong" commented
"Solly," and as Louis looked over
his partners shoulder. he echoed the
"Solly" sentiment, and from force of
habit shouted Next"
Yes, that's what l want to know
what's next?" came from "Solly," as he
%stropped away. Between bum bar
bers. or butchers as 1 might as we'll
call them, and people using safety
razors, business is not what it used
to be.
Shorten the time of shaves, eh. Why,
between hot towels, talcum powder and
six different kinds of oils, some people
can't be fused with enough.
Why" went on Solly, the other day
we had a customer, a well-fxed busi-
man, who said that we ought to
give trading stamps with every shave.
Now, what do you think of that? But,
getting back to saving time, some men

Proctor had approached a party on
Broad street early this morning and
insisted on telling them a good story.
They weren't interested. and Proctor

3-MONTH SENTIMENTAL
JOURNEY" TO PRISON CELL.

When John Cummings gets out of the
p~enitentiary November 9, after missing
Labor Day and Election Day joys, 1t
is likely he will never, never again
touch a drop. Cummings is of an af-
f%ectionate nature naturally, and when
he gets a drop or WI of whiskey in
him he is positively sentimental, as he
admitted to Judge Hahn in the First
Precinct Court.
Yesterday he demonstrated this be-
yond doubt by trying to embrace a
woman as she got off a car at Broad
and Market streets, and Judge Hahn
decided to give him a vacation at the
expense of the county for the next three
months.

He told General Grant he knew him
by his likeness to his father.
Admiral Togo would make an ideal
mother-in-law. He has so little to say.
Even at the London banquet, where
they smeared him with compliments
and heaped him high with hyperbole,
his speech of responsa vas MY coun-
try thanks YOU" He let 1t go at that.
Although he speaks English quite
we'll, Togo prefers to wrap himself in
silence. Not even a splendid banquet
can loosen his ~tongue-and everybody
knows a banquet is the best little
tongue-loosener we have.
So Togo, unlike most heroes, is a
hero judged by deeds, not words. When
Japan was at war with Russia, the
mikado told Togo: Take command of
the fleet and crush the Russians"
Il will obey" said Togo.

name, before he is adopted, or in case
he is not adopted at all? Apparently
it will be the duty of the State Board
of Children's Guardians, into whose
care he will shortly pass, to provide him
with some name before sending him out
to board.
While they will have to do this as a
matter of convenience and necessity, it
will in no way be the abandoned baby's
legal name.
But the baby will have little chance
to discover the puzzling- features in his
naming, because the records of the
State Board of -Children's Guardians,
the Children's Aid Society and similar
organizations are a sealed book.
The baby boy at the almshouse will
never know, except by accident, that
he was left in Branch Brook Park just
at twilight a week ago Monday.

LOOKED To THE
JAps IN NEW YoNk

to see the luminous hero step up to the
deck of the Seneca.
When the admiral arrived he was sa-
luted by seventeen flashlights, which
staggered the welcoming party. Togo
didn't even blink.
The hero of the Russian war was
hard to find in the throng of livid liv-
cries. He wore a black derby hat, a
gray raincoat and carried a cane. He
wasn't an inch over five feet tall.
His build in his younger days was
probably light, but now he has a
heavy settled look of age without any
indication of stoutness. His eyes,
when his face is in repose, are utterly
e~xpressionless, but when he talks they
light up with quick CLEANS of interest
or humor.
On board the Seneca he was more
at ease than any of his entertainers.

TOOK COPS Hal; FINED S..

An offense like running off with a

the flagship.
The fact hat she really kept silence
proves Togo a hero without the fact
that he sailed after the Russian fleet
with an inferior force and blew Ro-
jestvcnsky's battleships out of com

AS the Seneca steamed up the bay
on the day of his arrival the band

miral Togo of something. He glanced
