JOHN DAY CITY. IE BARBER. To-day I got shnvfid at a barber sho p, whoie I begged tbeopefa tor to k;ll me and put ino out of my miser. I have been accustomed to gen- tie care and thoughtfuThess uthome J and my barber haiidlesre with the. utmost tenderneRS.JlSreii foi-o, poorly prepared 'to meet the man who this morning filled my soul with woe. I know that I have not deserved this, for while others have berated the poor barber and swore about his bad breath and never-ending clatter and his general heartless ness, I have never said anything that was not tilled with childlike trust and hearty good-will toward him. I Nave called the attention of the public to the. fact that some times customers had bad breath J and were restless and n-eaii, while being operated on, and then when they are all lixed up niceiy they put their uats on and light a cigar and then hold up their finger to the weary barber and tell him that thev will see him more subsiquent- iy." Now, however, I feel differently. This barber no doubt had never heard of me. He thought I was an ordinary plug who didn't know anything about luxury. I shall mark a copy of this pa per and send it to him. '1 hen while ho is reading it I will step up behinc him with a pickhaudle and kill him. I want him to be reading it when I kill him, be cause it will assist the Coroner in arriving at tne immediate cause of his death. The first whiff I took of this man's breath I knew that he was rum's maniac. He had the Jim James in an ad vanced stage. Now, I don't object to being shaved by a barber who is socially drunk, but when the mad glitter of the maniac is in his Resand I can see that he is de bating the question of whether he will cut 11. y head off and let it drop over the back of the chair or choke me to death with the lather brush, it makes iue nervous and and fidgetl'. He honed his lazor on his bi( ath in tact. This man made up his mind three limes that he would kill mo, and some one came in just in time to save me. His chair was near a window, and tnere was a hole in the blind, so that when he was shaving the offside of mv face he would turii mv head over in such a position BILL NYE AND that I could look up into the mid die of the sun. My attention had never been called before to the appearance of the sun as it looks to the na'ctdfeyc, and I was a great deal surprised. The more that I looked into the center of the grealorb of day ,he more I was filled with wonder at might and power that could create it. I began lo pine for death im mediately, so that I might be far away among the hevenly bodies, and in a land where no barber with the delirum triangles can ever en ter. This barber held my head down so that the sun could shine into my darkened understanding, un til I felt that my brain had melted and was floating around and swash ing about in mv skull like warm butter. His hand was very much un steady, too. I lost faith in him on tho start, when he cut off a mole unde- my chin and threw it in the cuspiuore. I did not care especially for the mole, and did not need it much, but at the same time j had not decided to take it off till the weather got wjrtner. In fact I had worn it so long that I had become attached to it. It al so had become attached to me. That is why I could not restrain my tears when the barber cut it off, and then steppod back to the other end of the room to see hew I look ed without it 3ilu Nye at Laiigk. The Way They Boom. "Are you getting ready for that excursion of Eastern - capitalists wheih are coming heie when the railroad is completed?" asked n prominent citizen of the Mayor o! a new Kansas town. "Oil, ye?. We've madearrange- ments with the Metropolis City to and will move it down." "That's good. Anything else?" "Yes; each merchant is going to put up fifty packages which look as if thev contained sucar. and tho fanners will be going out of the stores, with them all di.y." "Fifty packages won't last." "But tlrey'll keep sneaking them around in the back door again when the capitalists aren't looking We purpose to sell each bundle twenty times. Then we're "oiii" to ha- e two brass bunds, and the railroad company will side track a couple of freight trains here all day, and I'm having the creek dammed up two miles above Lere, and just before they come we'll cut the dam and let her howl all day and call her a rive, and I'm going to Kalt the town with a bar rel of kerosene and have an ex pert smelling around and talking of natural gas, and then there'll be two or three :mer. run over with teams, and a iot more will be go ing around- looking awful deep and slicking stakes around for new buildings, and eveiything will boom proportionately all day. Oh, you just let me alone to ex tract '.he reluctant dollar from the pocket of the eastern investor. Chicago Tribune. A Good Family Clock.

TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD. Col. Ingersol deliyered the following beautiful tribute to the memory of Mrs. IduKnowles, whose death occurcd in Xew York recently: My friends: Again wc stand in. the shndowot .m-nat "Mryii shadow as deep.aWdarl?? as when the- tears of the first mother fell upon the pallid face of her lifeless babe a mystery that has never been solved. "We have met in the presence of the sacred dead to sneak a word of praise, of hone, of con solation. Another life of love is now a blessed memory a lingering strain of music. The Iovino- laughter, the pure and conse crated wife, the sin-ere friend, who, with tender faithfulness, discharged the duties of life, has reached her ju nicy's end. A braver, a more sincere, a more eliivialric spirit clasping the loved and by them clasped - never passed, from life to en rich the realm of death. No field of war ever witness ed greater fortitude, more per fect, smiling courage than his poor, weak anil helpless woman displayed upon the bed of pain iind death. Her life wa gentle, and her leath sublime. She love 1 the good and all the gco l love 1 her. lint there is this consolation; she can never suffer more: she can never feel again the chill of death; never part again from those she loves. Her heart can break no more. She has shed j her last tear, and upon her beau tiful brow has been set the seal of cvei hinting peace. AVhen the angel of death the masked and voiceless enters the door of home there conic with her all the daughters of compassion, and of these Love ami Hope remain forever. You are about to take the tie sr dust home -to the home of her .i.dhood to the home j th it .was once my home. You will lay her with neighbors that I have loved that are now at rest. You will lay her where, my father is sleoing. Ail I can say is: "Tiy l.er iu the earth, And from her fair and unpol luted Mi Let violets spring." I never knew, I never met, a braver spirit than' the one that onc(J inhabited this dear form of 'litamless clay. Mature Reflection.
