So many people suffer from lack Of

when my mother was about to undergo

Chinese BARRIERS,

z The Chinese are not accustomed to
tipping the bapl@.l AS d matter of.
fact the Chinese barber IS very mod.-
est in his prices, and his patrons can
obtain a hair cut, head shave, a face
shave, and in addition have his shoul-
ders and back massaged, all for a sum
total of less than s cents The straight
razor used by Chinese BARRIERS is a
triangular shaped blade with straight
handle, folding up as does the Amer
lean straight razor. The blades are
made from old rails or any other crude
steel which has outlived Its usefulness

Rouoe Wlthers Greek Girls.

Although most Greek girls are nat
urally very pretty, they begin to paint
and powder from a very early age
the cheeks bright red the eyebrows
and lashes deepest black, and veins
delicately blue. The result Is that
they are wlthcred old women Mt forty,
and thus nowhere are ugller females
to be found than beneath the blue

Wolf Caught in Wire Fence.

Auburn, Neb.-James Holman, n
farmer living in the Bratton Union

mn extra fine wolf pelt for n robe in
peculiar way. Recently he and his
little daughter were walking along
the road, when their attention was at
tracted to large gray wolf which
was struggling in the meshes Of a

went to a neighbOring farm and bor-
rowed a gun. He returned and shot
the animal, which proved to be large
