awful lot of news in the pa

Il haven't saw much Of the papers
lately" said the Head Barber. what
is some of the scanGal?"
oh, lot of stuff about the Mexican
government, for one thing" said the
Manicure Lady. 1T seems that them
folks don't know enough to govern
themselves. something like the old gent
with his temper. He went up in the
air a mile last night when Brother VIII
fred asked him for six bits. He told
Wifred that the next time he asked for
six bits he would make twenty bits
out of him.
Il can't see for the life of me why
it is that there is SO much dimension
and discard in the world, as the preach
ers say. We amt here for long, good
ness knows. Brother Wilfred is one
that amt going to last many years if
he don't stop nickipg the old gents

folks likes to be all the time making

beast for men to De all the time stir

would be more kind it would be lot
easier world to live in"
The Kind Ones.
1T amt always easy to be kind
said the Head Barber. Il have saw
| the time that nothing would give me
greater pleasure than to lean on
mans face and knock out two bicuspids
| and possibly a molar. You will find
as a rule that the people in this world
| that is always preaching about being
| kind is either the folks that gets money
| left to them from some aunt in La
Crosse, Wis, or guys that amt got the
nerve to be unkind. 1t always makes
me think, when | hear man talking
about being kind, of the verse the
| Norsl Nightingale wrote:
Speak yentle, it ban better far
To rule by love dan fear;
If you speak rough, yu stand guide
| chance
To get smash on ear.
"Oh. l don't know" said the Mani
cure Lady. 81 think that it pays to be
nice and kind if you can do it and keen
the person to which you are talking
to in nice humor. so he will give you
maybe, at least q quarter tip after ne
has had his nails did.
Her Experience.
Nov. take today. George, for IL
lustlation. There was maybe twenty
grouches in here, ana ! was that gentle
and kind to them that three of them
loosened up and gave me a dime each
for tip But, oh, you should have
saw the nice. dark haired gentleman
that was in here TO have his nails did
when you was out to lunch. He looked
kind of distinguished and foreign, and
he was the kindest you ever seen
When he talked he sort of purred not
a bit like the voices of you Americans
and Irish. His voice sounded like silk
feels, George. He told me that be
thought a war like the war in Mexico
was a brutal thing that ought TO be
stopped, and stopped quick, because as
he said, war is not kind and he be-
lieved in kindness.
That's the kind of men like, George.
And he gave me the first silver dollar l
ever saw after l was through with his
nails. The manicure was a quarter,
but he gave me fifteen cents for tip.
Look at this dollar-ain't it nice and
new and shiny"
1T is q Mexican dollar" said the
Head Barber. 1T is worth about 80
cents of our money

When found yesterday in the stream

Miller while fishing in 1911 dropped
his timepiece into the stream and

those two years the watch was not

lodged. Yesterday Mrs. Miller was
gathering wild flowers along the bank
of the stream when she noticed a
glittering object in the shallow

covered the object was her husbands
