BEST OF ALL BARBERS
TO BE SHAVED BY AMERICAN NE
GRO WAS A DELIGHT.
Entertaining, Skilful and Humoroua,
He Hat Been Supplanted by the
More) Bualneat-LIke Modern
Tentorial Artlat.
The tear of regret may gllHteo tor a
moment la the corner ot the eye of
some elderly mnn when h revisits lu
j imagination the burlier shop ot long
KO. That was In the cluy when In
the middle west popular prejudice
'held fast to the opinion that the uegro
was a natural barber, the American
negro the best barber lu the world.
He knows more about family trees
than any college of heraldry If there
la such an Institution could possibly
know and how long and Interesting
be would talk of your folks' folks In
Lexington, Ky.!
"Let me rest yo' hut, and yo' coat,
snh. Yes, sir, Judge 0. was head this
niornln" and Col. R got out of the
cheer only a few minutes ago."
With a sigh of anticipated comfort
you sank into the chair and stretched
out your legs. "Yes, sail, yo really do
need a shave, snh. It's a pleasure to'
me to shave you. Yo' beard is Just
as It should be. Now and then 1 get a
rough neck with squirrel whiskers
that upsets me fo' a whole day."
Perhaps you may recall a story In
an old text book about a very differ
ent kind of a barber, that began after
this fashion.
"A prating barber who waited upon
a certain king, enme one day to trim
his hair and asked him: "Sire, how
will you have It done?' 'Silently,' said
the king.
It Is not necessary to continue that
story, the Indianapolis News remarks.
One may know nt once that the bar
ber of this churlish king was not a
! negro. He was probably a mere ton
' sorial artist, wholly devoid ot the dtv
j lightful charm of entertaining that Is
possessed In so high a degree by the
! black knight of the razor -one might
now, alas, rail him the disinherited
: knight, as so many have come In to
: j crowd him from his place.
I Only one superfluous question would
; he ask, and that was from long estab
lished habit: "Does she pull, sah?"
j Yet he well knew that In his skillful
hand the keen blade was as light as
, gossamer, for as he afterward ad
1 ' mltted he had "honed and stropped her
: down finer'n a gnat's heel." How
deftly he would spread the eool lather
over the rough and razorable cheek
and chin! With what tender care he
avoided the wart that nestled on your
upper lip, close to your nose, and
never say a word about this blemish
on a very handsome lace!
Hut you did not get out of the chair
In any such brief time as this tale
has required In Its telling. By no
means. How he would dally about
you, comb and shears In hand, clip
ping here and there an infinitesimal
bit of hair v.a.lch, in his critical Judg
ment, spoilt the symmetry of his
work. And, at last, as though loath
to let you go until his sense of the
perfection ot his work had been satis
fied In every artistic detail, he would
still detain you for a last lingering, re
gretful Inspection, following you to
the door and watching your shadow as
It lengthened in the afternoon sun.
What a genial humor he had, what
a knowledge of human nature, white
and black? The newspaper, even then,
was well enough In Its way, but not
to be compared as a news teller to
him who gave the gossip of the dear
old town with a racy flavor and pic
turesque beauty that proclaimed the
master. The new barber has a finer
shop and sometimes a foreign accent,
Is more matter of fact and business
like, but candidly, you know he Is
not well, he's not the old barber.
Germany and Heine.
Lord Haldane in his recent univer
sity address, "Great Britain and Ger
many: A Study in Ethnology," had
words of reproach for Germany con
cerning her treatment of Heine. He
pointed out that Germany in the end
of the eighteenth and the beginning of
the nineteenth century had her Eliza
bethan age, bo far as llteraturo and
philosophy were concerned:
How much poorer would the whole
world be but for this period of Ger
man life, In which she for the time
outstripped every other country! Yet
even then she indulged In tendencies
which needed correction, and if she
had listened to Heinrich Heine they
might have been corrected and the
outlook enlarged. And now the re
vanche was In progress, much as
Heine predicted, and, looking at the
German railway bookstalls he could
see that the spirit of Paris was ad
vancing on Berlin. It need not have
been so, and it should not have been
so. and Heine told of a better way.
Had" his counsel been listened to there
would have been no Nietzsche period
so at least it seemed, to a foreigner.
Suspicious Move.
"That woman views me with con
siderable suspicion."
."Why should 6he view you with
suspicion, Mrs. Wopp?"
"Well, you see, we have been living
In the same apartment house for the
laiit seven years and once In an un
g'jan'3d moment 1 bowed to her."
Both Had to Guess.
"Ethellnda writes a very peculiar
Land," said Maude.
"Yes," replied Maymle. "It's Just a
lot of straight lines and angles. When
you read it. you have to guess at the
I spelling, the same as she does."
Had Time to Waate,
The late Sylvanua Miller, civil en
gineer, who was endued in railroad
enterprises in Central America, was
seeking locul support for a road, and
attempted to give the matter point.
He asked a native: "How long does
it take you to carry your goods to
market by mule pack?" "Three
days," was the reply. "There' the
point," said Miller. "With our road
in operation you could tako your goods
to market and be hack home In one
day." "Very good, sertor, " answered
the native. "B it what would we do
with the other two days?"
