Toj High For th« Barber.
"I heard something new In the har-
boring business this morning." said
(lit* gray headed man. "I miu occupy-
ing a room on the top floor of n sky-
icraplng apurtmcut hotel. This morn-
ing I sent for a barlier to come up
and shave me. Fie came, but when he
aw to what an altitude he had attain-
Ml be looked uneasy.
" 'Would It Inconvenience you to
tome down to the regular barber
ihop?' he asked.
"I answered that It would not par-
ticularly put me out, but that I would
like to know the reason for hlB re-
quest.
" "The fact la,' he said, 'I never like
to shave anybody at this distance
above the ground. No barber liken
to. We seem to be particularly sensi-
tive to height. It makes us nervous.
' Most barbers will not undertake a
lob above a certain number of feet In
I the ulr. Of course If you insist I will
shave you here, but you would prob-
ably get a better shave ten floors be-
low this one.'
"Well, Just out of natural cussedness
I refused U humor the fellow's whim.
As n consequence he nearly cut my
throut. Whether he did It through
nervousness, as he claimed, or pure
cussedness of his own I don't know.
Whatever It was, thnt Is a peculiarity
of barbers that I'd like to have ex-
plained."—New York Sun.

Disappointed.
An aged colored man who had busi-
ness In the News office ambled Into the
editorial rooms—yes, ambled Is the
word, lie sat for several moments
gazing at the pneumatic tube stations
set up like horns of an orchestrion at
the desks of the city and telegraph
editors. There was a buzzing sound as
a copy boy pulled a lever, and the old
man smiled as If expecting something
pleasant, then took on a look of dis-
appointment. A few minutes Inter the
boy sent another piece of copy whirl-
ing upstairs, aud again the visitor's ex-
pression passed from anticipation to
disappointment, then bewilderment.
Finally he accosted the telegraph ed-
itor.
" 'Scuse me, suh, but mout I ax yo'
what dem things Is'.'"
Certainly he might aud was enlight-
ened.
"Well, 1 'clah t* goodness!" he ex-
flaimed. "I thought dey was some
sort o' music box t' entertain yo' gem-
mens whilst yo' worked!"—Baltimore
News.
A Plain Hit.
An elderly gentleman on his way to
a quiet watering place in Scotland met
in the railway carriage an old worthy
who turned out to be a native of the
place and, wishing to have a talk and
at the same time learn something of
the coast village, accosted him thus:
Elderly Gentleman—I suppose the air
Is very bracing where you live?
Village Worthy—tiraun' an' healthy,
I should think sae.
E. G.—Then It's considered one of
lh > healthiest quarters around here?
V. W.—I should think sue. There's
no muckle seekness there.
E. G.—I should think not Have
yon never been sick?
V. W.-Neever!
E. O.—How do you account for that?
V. W.—Wed, ye see. It's like this:
The doctor's kept me a' my life, an'
he Jlst lets me alone.—Illustrated Bits.
How He Got a Drink.
An Indiana traveling man told a
story the other day of an Incident on
the road. He was In the smoking car
of on express train reading his paper
when a man rushed In from the car
behind the smoker, evidently In great
agitation and said: "Has anybody In
this enr any whisky? A woman In tho
car behind has fainted!" Instantly
dozens of flasks were produced. The
man who had asked for It picked out
the largest one, drew the cork und put
the bottle to bis lips. With a long, sat-
isfied sigh, he handed the flask back
and remnrked, "Thnt did me a lot of
good, and I needed it, for It always
makes me feel queer to see a woman
faint away!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Bat.
Nearly all bats have the faculty of
hibernating. Their hibernation, how-
ever, Is not perfect—that is to say, that
when the warm days occur In the mid-
dle of winter they wake up, together
with the insects which are their food.
Still theirs is a true hibernation trance,
differing from sleep, with very low rate
of pulse, heart action aud respiration.
Probably they would endure Immer-
sion In water for an hour or two
without drowning, as other hlbernators
have been found to do.
Just the Other Way.
"I am delighted," said the old friend
who had called, '"to find thnt you agree
with your husband In everything, Mrs.
II en peck."
"Indeed!" uuswered that estimable
lady. "If you will take the pains to In-
vestigate our domestic relations, sir,
you will find that it Is Mr. Henpeck
who agrees with me In everything."
His Six*.
"Sam, what would you do If you had
a million dollars?"
"Fo' de Land's sake! I'm sho' I
dnnno wot I'd do ef I had a million
dollahs, but I know wot I'd do ef I
had $12. I've bin waltln' two yeahs ter
git married."—Judge.

Scramble for Honor.
Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 24.—Al-
though there will be less than
twenty-five Republicans in both
houses of the legislature, there
will probably be quite a contest
for the caucus nomination for
United States senator. On the
Oklahoma side will probably be
given to either Governor Frantz
or Congressman Bird McGuire,
although Captain Jake Admire of
Enid, "Hoe" McNeal of Guth-
rie, D. T. Flynn and C. G. Jones
of Oklahoma City and Brownlee
of Kingfisher would also be wil-
ling to receive the empty honor.
On the Indian Territory side the
contest will probably be between
Busby of South McAlester and
Colonel Clarence B. Douglass of
Muskogee, with the chances
favoring Busby.

"Uncle Josh Spruceby."
From the opinion of the press
throughout the state, the "Uncle
Josh Spruoebv" company ia
oomposed of people of ability and
merit. The play is a st«ry of
New England life, and while
written for laughing purposes,
has a serious vein running
through it. A number of spe-
cialties are introduced and spe-
cial scenery is used to show off
the wondorful scenic efiects. The
realistic saw mill scene ia a
startling illustration of stage-
craft. The band and orchestra
■ accompanying the oompany is
composed of high-olasa musi-
cians. At Madill opera hou^e

Goldsmith's Generosity.
A begtfnr oace usked alius of Oliver
Goldsmith as he walked with a friend
up Fleet street, and he Rave her a shil-
ling. ilia companion, knowing some-
thing of the woman, censured the wint-
er for his excess of humanity, saying
that the shilling was misapplied, as
she would spend It for liquor. "If It
makes her happy In any way, my end
la answered," replied Goldsmith,
Another proof thnt the doctor's gen-
erosity was not always regulated by
discretion was at a time when, after
much delay, a day was fixed to pny
the £40 due his tailor. Goldsmith pro-
cured the money, but a friend calling
upon him and relntlng a piteous tale
of bis gsods being seized for rent, the
thoughtless but benevolent author gave
him all the money. The tailor called
and was told that if he had come a lit-
tle sooner he could have had the
money, but that he had just parted
with every shilling of it to a friend In
distress, adding, "I would have been
an unfeeling monster not to have re-
lieved trouble when in my power."

Heart Protectors.
Many persons nre puzzled to know
why policemen wear their badges so
low on their coats Instead of on the
flap made for that purpose. As n mat-
ter of fact the badge or star, as he
calls It, of many a policeman Is right j
next to his heart. Some of the blue-
coats can thank their "stars" for being
alive. This little metal shield has de-
flected the bullet of burglar or high-
wayman, and at times, too, has stopped
the knife thrust of would be assassins.
During the last twenty or thirty years
there are many cases on record show-
ing that the little badge has been a
life saver. Even bullets tired at close
range, as a rule, cannot penetrate the
shield. That's why a bluecoat always
feels safer In keeping the star nt a vital
spot. When off duty some policemen
wear their stars on their vests, but al- j
ways directly over the heart. They are '
so accustomed to the little protector
that they feel uneasy without it-

Scott's Wise Dog.
So veracious vn man as Sir Walter ;
Scott had a wise dog, a bull terrier.
Said the novelist once: "I taught him
to understand a great many words, In-
asmuch that I am positive that the
communication betwixt the canine spe-
cies and ourselves might be greatly
enlarged. Camp once bit the baker,
who was bringing bread to the fam-
ily. I beat him and explained the
enormity of his offense, after which, to
the last moments of his life, he never
honfd the least allusion to the story In
whatever tone of voice it was men-
tioned without getting up and retir-
ing to the darkest corner of the room,
with great appearance of distress.
Then if you said 'the baker was welf
paid' or 'the baker was not hurt, after
ail,' Camp came forth from hie hiding
place, capered and barked and re-
joiced."
The Weslthy Angler's Tsckis Outfit.
The wealthy angler who wants the
best of everything has a special six
foot oblong case or trunk for his
fishing rods, which, being the best,
cost about $30 each. He has a heavy
surf casting rod, a lighter bay casting
rod and a set of fly rods for fresh wa-
ter fishing. His reels, of which he
must have various types, cost $75 each
aud upward. For his fishing tackle
there Is a special trunk, In which are
the best Irish linen lines, hooks and
flies of all descriptions, sinkers, swiv-
els, squids, spoons, spinners, floats, ar-
tificial halt, etc. Such fishermen gener-
ally carry duplicate tackle and several
duplicates of pole tips and such things
as may be most likely, to break. The
total cost of a wealthy angler's tackle
outfit ranges from S2."VI tn $1,000 —New

Fire and Water.
Water will extinguish a fire because
the water forms a coating over the
fuel, which keeps It from the air, and
the conversion' of water Into steam
draws off the heat from the burning
fuel. A little water makes a fire
fiercer, while a large quantity of water
puts it out. The explanation Is that
water Is composed of oxygen and hy-
drogen. When, therefore, the fire can
decompose the water Into its simple
elements It serves as fuel to the Same.
A Hard Drinking Bout.
Among the sougs of Robert Burns
Is one upon a whistle used by a Dane
who visited England In the retinue of
Anne of Denmark. This whistle was
placed on the table at the beginning of
a drinking bout, which was won by
whoever was Inst able to blow It. The
Dane conquered all comere, says the
story, until Sir Robert lawrie of Mnx-
welton, "after three days and three
nights' hard contest, left -the Scan-
dinavian under the table."
