Those Whiskers.

"Nice day!" said the stout man as he
lowered himself on the seat beside me
In the day car with a parlor car look.
“Nice,” I remarked just to humor
him, although I must say that I always
try to avoid a man who wears whisk­
ers. This man was wearing a No. 0
face fungus with ear flaps. I thought
at first of asking him if he had to take
out a license for his luce trimmings.
But, after all, I felt that he had a kind
face—what I could see ef It—behind
the shrubbery, as it were.
"Are you a commercial traveler?" he
asked, stroking his beard to starboard.
"N'o," I replied, “but I once had a
fourth cousin who did seven years In
jail for another offense. That was the
only member of my family who stray­
ed from the narrow path of virtue.”
"Lucky for you I" he snapped out,
pushing his plantation In my face, “It’s
a dog’s life. Everywhere you go peo­
ple talk about the peace.”
“Ah 1” I Interposed, "there Is a peace
on, then? I thought I saw something
•bout it in the press.”
"Are you an American?"
out, getting nnsty.
"Yes.” I said. "Are you? Or do you
live in Hoboken, N. J.” I felt 1
would like to have struck a match and
started a bush Are around the wooded
portion of his face.
“I see you have some cuts on your
face,” he remarked.
“Yes. My tonsorlal artist illustrat­
ed me with some funny cuts."
“Ah I” he slipped in. "You should
shave yourself and you would never
have a face like that.”
I should like to have totd him that
his was no oil painting. Especially did
I hate his face mats. I detest a man
who tries to look venerable by wearing
face mats, when underneath he may
have the chin of a criminal.
"Do you wear those germ traps on
purpose?” I asked curiously.
"Them’s camouflage," he said. "Just
to show what people look like when
they don’t shave. I travel for Raxro's
safety razors, $2.50 each, and seeing
you're a nice sort of a boob I can do
you on« for $2. Here Is the last one
I have.”
I took It. If It bad been a scythe I
should have had a harvest with his
beard.
Then I fell to thinking of his whisk­
er» again. They were the most vile
whiskers I had ever seen. They atood
out at all angles from his face. I
couldn't make up my mind whether I
should like him better with or with­
out them. But I was quite prepared
to get a lawn mower and try.
"Seeing you are a good business
man,” he went on, “what nbout a nice
pll>e lighter? I have a really good line
at 28 cents each. Sorry I haven't got
one with me, but I can send it on. Nev­
er falls, nnd always lights a pipe or
cigarette. In fact. It is one of the best
pipe lighters ever Invented. Just give
me 28 cents and your address and I
wilt send It along.”
Of course I fell. I handed him the
quarter and got out at the next station.
Some days later a package arrived
at my villa. Here was the pipe lighter.
Breathlessly I opened the package,
eager to see the contrivance. It was—
Yea. a match. I gulped two mouthfuls
of fresh air and threw my cigarette In
the porridge.
And that Is why, when I meet a man
with a full set of face mats, I always

■olshavlks Got Diamonds.
Diamonds, rubles, radium and Just
ordinary gold huve been discovered In
the Kola peninsula, Russia, It was said
by James Patrick Wood», a sailor, who
arrived at New York recently on the
Matroslna. He was booked by the
transport officials as "a destitute sea-
man.”
Woods says he went to Russia on a
cargo vessel and was left there on ac­
count of Illness. He went prospecting
at a place called Kendaloska. In a
creek, he says, he found "pecks Hnd
peeks of diamonds.” He also found
rubles, and sat down on a rock only to
find the rock was pure gold. He also
discovered coni veins and radium. "1
bad my pockets full of diamonds,” he
•aid. "but the bolsheviks took them
•way from me. I mn going to organ­
ise a company and go back.”
Munition Work Not Injurious.
Dr. Rhoda H. H. Adamson In an ar­
ticle recently published In n London
periodical undertakes to prove that the
work done by women during the war
In the engineering trades has not In­
jured their health. Her conclusions
are drawn after a year and a half
apeat as medical supervisor of several
thousand women working tn munition
factories. The applicants for work
were given a thorough physical exam­
ination and assigned to work commen­
surable with their strength. Other ex­
aminations were made from time to
time, which showed no had results
from the work the women were doing.
