The newspapers of the current week
have printed a London dispatch stat
ing that pointed boards, the nous
tache. and perhaps whlskers are again
coming IN favor"
Smooth faces have been stylish so
long that Il Is quite possible that fckIe
fashion may again decree that man
be a fur bearing animal
In early youth one watches for the
first silky sprouts Of the moustache
as one longs for the dawn Of morning
It is often called the badge Of man
hood. But many youth is loaded by
nature with moustache having a
pronounced downward and inward
droop. Permitted to grow, It gives one
despondent and forceIess appear
anee.
No matter how creased by the bar
Der, no matter how patiently twiried
by the possessor before his mirror, no
long and dropping moustache can be
made consistent with an eiert and Wig
orous appearance. And yet many
young men Of 2i spoil their own good
looks by wearing them, merely be-
cause II makes them look 30 years Of
age.
Al the other extreme Is the man
who has worn a beard until fifty or
more Some day he is impressed by
a neighbor who has grown young by
shaving his face, being fortunately
gifted with good features.
Influenced thereby TO slaughter his
own hairy covering, he passes his
hands with delight over the smooth
and shapeless expanse. He imagines
his friends admire his bull jaw and
fiabby neck. 1t happens that the
coarsening hand of time has hit him
hard and he has thrown away the veil
nature offers the male half OF crea-
tIon.
II boards are to be fashionable
again, let every man choose or reject
them to fit bis own face, not because

so.
The smooth face gives the appear.
ance Of youth, of alertness, and Of sim
cerlty; the beard, that Of dignity and
stability. But il the beard Is not well
cropped and combed, 1t says rusticity
The great objection 70 boards is that
the majority of whlskered men think
they conceal soiled shirts and neck
ties Therein they sadly err.

RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.


Running a newspaper is a thing
that every person knows how to do
except the editor or manager. No
body should ever get roasting in its
columns except the editor and his
friends. On the other hand, their
friends should be sweet scented,
praised and banqueted. II you do
something bad you want the editor to
keep your name out of the paper;
but, on the other hand, should you
buy a new dress or hat or feed two
