J The visit of Head Consul F. A. Falk enburg on this coast has brought two K'mmI stories, and now In as good a time to ten them as any. jt. Head Banker K, V. Cooper. of Port land ,1s traveling with the Head Con sul. In visiting aome of the smaller places In Washington. Mr, Falkenburg was unable to find a barber, .but he remembered having among his belong ings a nne safety razor, a Christmas present from M ra, Fa lkenburg, and was produced. As the Head Consu knew Jlttle abut handling the instru ment, ir. t ooter ; kindly v ofTered to wield it. and he did a. good job. This Pleaeed t he Head t'onaul. ' and Di r. Cooper w as often called uton to re in-a the performance. At Seattle one day Mr. falkenburg did not feel like ledv Ing his rooni .and Cooper being away be -undertook to use, the safety razor himself. The firststroke of the blade cut a gash, in front of the left ear; a little further down on the cheek a sec- ond saber cut was made, and the chin was skinned in the most approved fashion, blood Kurlng from the three wounds until Mrs. F., at lght of her luse, fainted. In desinTation,, the Head Consul seized a towel., and press ing it to. the cuts In hi face, raced down the street, hunted up 0 barber shop and said; "Sayi I wish you'd fix me up. ,A darned fool tried to shave nw up stairs with a safety razor, and this is the result." , For a week the parly had to explain, every hour,, that the Head Consul had n"t Wn huaaina- a lamp-post on the street at night, but the wounds were the result of a shave. Another good story i u.td on him in connection with the upeclnl twrvtce at the.. -Taylor Street M. K. c hurch, at Portland, last Sunday evening, when over 2HM WiMxJincn were present. Mr. Falkenburg Is a member of Trinity5 M K, church at lrenvef-,- and chairman of its board of trustees.

An eiotuen t sermon wan -'prerheif.-! and a t Its conclusion, the pastor announced that "Brother Falkenburg will lead In prayer. The Head" Consul stepped forward, and cloned IjIs .eyes;; "when some Irreverent Woodman in the gal-iery- said In- a Mag- whisper, "Old Faiky Is up against It this time.-' sure; he can't do that." Mr. Falken "firm's prayer was fervid, and at its conclus ion a great hush rested over the. large audience of c hoppers. As the audience filed out of the church, a strajflng Woodman met a nelahlor, and asked him If he had been in church,' to which the neighbor answered "No." "You missed il."ald, No. 1, who had attend ed the services. "You. ought to have been there, Say, It was a i' show, you bet. You ort to have heard Old Falk enburg pray. Say, he can bet h -I out of the preacher in making a prayer kiH not half try."
