followed him promptly as far as the

crossed the river, but soon returned,
and we fastened back to Washington,

! HE LATHERED UNTIL BOTH ARMS ACHED
$1.O5 a week, or $4.20 per month
| Seems to me that 5000 per year is
worth saving. In the twenty years
l have been shaving could have saw
ed the trif1e of $1,OO9. Where are you
now, Mrs. Bowser?''
"Just where 1 was before. You'll
shave once and that'l end it,
''WM it? If that's your opinion
! have a great surprise in store for you
I've been taking lessons from barber
on how to handle razor, and I can
shave clean in exactly four minutes.
Easiest thing in the world, when you
know how. Just think Of the $1,OO8
have thrown away!'
"Well, suppose you'll try it in spite
of anything I say, but I shall decline
to be held responsible for trouble"
Responsible! Trouble! How could
hold you responsible! And what
trouble can there be?'
''Why, that time in Detroit you al
most tore the house down because
you cut your ear"
"Pooh! was probably joking. Don't
remember thing about it. I'd look
pretty blaming you for what I did,
wouldn't I? After dinner I will take
little shave, and If you don't say it's
better one than any barber has ever
given me Ill put the razor up for
good''
After dinner Mr.. Bowser took q
bowl Of hot water and started up-
stairs. saying to Mrs. Bowser as he
went:
Better time me by the clock. I may
be six or seven minutes this time, but
I'll be right on tick tomorrow night"
He went into the bedroom and lock-
ed the door. Then he took of his
coat, vest, necktie and collar. He look
ed down at his shoes for a moment
and then decided to take them of
also.
Lets see," he unused as he opened
the box and stood before the glass.
1.-The first thing is to lather, Of course.
That's as easy as rolling off log. This
is something like comfort, this is.
Hanged If I don't believe I shall want
to shave twice a day after this!''
MI. Bowser decided to put on plenty
of lather. He put it on his chin. cheeks,
nose, forehead, ears and throat, and
more or less fell on the carpet. When
he had lathered until both arms ached
and no more would stick to him, he
picked up the razor and chuckled.
II just hold it with three fingers. this
way, and lay it on my cheek, this way,
and move it gently down. A child
three years old could do that I'll show
Mrs. Bowser trick or two before I'm
through. Good woman, but she thinks
she knows It all. Razor just Slides
Mr.. Bowser gave jump, and at the
same instant he saw the lather stained
with blood.

MIGHT Be Worse.

When the indigo predominates
The view take Of life,
And mans well known existence rates
As useless stress and strife.
When am hitting SO
And fielding q,
And fate has hung tho Indian sign
With extra frills on me:
When I am tempted to object
To fortunes cruel ways
It's comforting to recollect
They're worse in picture plays.
