If the above named gentleman went

ste idy stream of people were pouring
out of their ► tore on Saturday, loaded
odwn with crockery, cuttlerly, forks,
scythes and everything conceivable in
the hardware line. It 1- oked as though
there was only one hurdwure store in
all this country, and Little and Smith
of Lexington were its owners.

The Krlndine of a razor Is a st'eno
in Itself. It can't be done by ono of th«
street grinders who run their tinkling
I emery wheels and grindstones thraugli
| the streets, because they are likely to
take all the temper out of the steel th
: moment they touch the razor to the
| emery. An Inexperienced workman
I may lnjuru a valuable blade far more
I than he improves it. That Is the rea-
| son why the Swedish razor-grinder Is
to particular about his workshop -ani
j a wonderful place it is. The ceiling is
. lull of slapping hand i aud spinning
thafis, small in size and home made,
and all about are the grindstones and
I polishing wheels, before each of which
a man sits niiarpening some kind of
instrument. The grindstones all com,
front Oermany and France—there are
no really good ones quarried in this
country and for the hollow grinding
of razors the edges are curved on th''
arcs of circles varying In size from
eight inches up to two feet. Over each
of the grindstones hangs a can of water
which is fitted witli a faucet so small
that only a minute stream falls upon
the stone. The razor is held squarely
and firmly on a coarse stone by a work-
man, who knows just how many min-
utes the grinding should proceed. Then
it is removed to a finer stone, and so
on until the edge is sharp enough. The
water must not eeaso dripping for a
moment, for If the razor heats it is
ten chances to one that the temper will
he injured.
The blade is now passed along to the"
polisher, who sits close to a narrow
wooden wheel, coated otifslde with
leather. This he sprinkles from time
to time with very fine emery dust and
no water is used. When the edge has
been smoothed down the razor goes for
n moment to the buffing wheel, which
is made up of hundreds of layers of
line linen i loth, closely hound to
gether. Now the razor is ready for the
honing, then for strapping and It
finally takes its place under the bar-
ber's mirror.

The editor lost a very important doc-

which, however, fell into the perfect-
ly safe hands of Mr. E. C. (Jage of the
Purcell National Hank, and was of
course returned. Don t ask me what
it was. No, it wasn't a letter. No,
sir, ba it makes it posible for a poor
editor to ride on the kcers.
Mr. J. A. lioudro of Purcell will put

of Purcell are doing their share of the

cell Mill and Elevator company has
splendid backing, and as this home en-

in the same line: it deserves our best

In the present atmosphere of musical
training it is quite certain that vocal-
ists do not flourish; for one thing, the
.endecy of modern music Is all against
(hut kind of composition in which sing
. rs used most to delight and which
provided them wilh their principal ar-
tistic diet, says the National Review
The roulades of a day that is dead
wore perfect training for the voice aud
were only really objectionable when
they occupied the place of real music.
Now that a different ideal is set up
these excellent exercises have almost,
entirely gone out of fashion and young
and tender voices are ruined or broken
on intellectual compositions that they
cannot grasp or interpret. It is no-
toriously far easier to make a silk purse
out of a sow's ear than *o transform a
singer into a musician, and iu nine
eases out of ten cither th\ 'udent rc
bels against the training and warbles
his beloved nonsense to the delight of
his amateur friends, and the most in-
dulgent section of the public, or de-
velops into an admirable musician
without, a scrap of voice. The few ar-
tists who manage by the help of a pe-
culiarly happy combination of circum-
stances to learn the art of intelligent
expression without losing the beauty
of voice that is the gift of nature need
fear no undue competition. "There is
always room at the top," is a saying
that is no less true of the musical than
of any other profession, and, after all.
really fine singers have never yet been
a drug in the market.

Peasant- They're goin' t' hang a

Englishman—What is he to be

Peasant—Just for a bit uv a joke,
