Village Undertaker, Called to Shave
Visitor, Not as Welcome as Me
Might Have Been.
“l had a queer shave last week ™
sald a New York salesman. “Business
took me for a day to a small country
town way up in the state, where I had
the bad luck to fall {ll. I was laid up
in a little one hore hotel for four
days
“One afternoon I thought a shave
would make me feel more respecta-
ble, but my hands were so unsteady
that I didn't feel up to tackling the
job myself, so I asked to have a bar-
ber sent to my room.
“Well, I guess that was the first
time on record that anybody'd ever
asked for such a thing. After a walt
of over two hours a tall, solemn look-
ing man In a frock coat and a silk hat
came to my door and sald he'd come to
shave me. I felt too weak to ask any
questions, so I just settled myself in
the least uncomfortable chair in the
room and told him to go ahead.
* “You'd better lie down,’ he sald.
“Not a bit of it,’ I answered. ‘I'm
feeling a lot better and can sit up all
right.’
“But I can't shave you unless you
lle down,’ he insisted.
“Rather than have any talk about it
I Jay down on the bed.
“‘Shut your eyes,’
order.
“‘See here, I sald, ‘what's all this
for, anyway? Go ahead and shave me
and I'Ml take care of my eyes. If I lie
down and shut my eyes I'll feel as if I
were dead.
“He chirked up at that
* "Yes, make believe you're dead,’ he
sald cheerfully. ‘That's just what I
want. You see, I'm the village under-
taker and I'm only used to shaving
corpses.’ ”

DISCONTENT NOT ALL GOOD
True That It Has its Uses, but There
Are Other Things to Be
It is perhaps true that some writers
and teachers have over-emphasized the
gospel of contentment with our lot. It
is not always well to be contented with
our lot. Avancement in every line has
been made by people who were dis
contented with thelr present oppor
tunities and broke through to some
thing higher. But, even allowing this,
it is undeniably true that there is a
vast amount of unholy and wasteful
discontent. We are apt to think pret
ty constantly how much more and how
much better we would do if circum
stances were different. While history
presents many cases of people who
broke away from humble task to force
their way to something higher, it is
fuller of instances in which a man or
woman, by doing with patient falth-
fulness an insignificant task, has been
celled to greater things.
The answer to the problem is the
old rule of living by the minute. It is
almost never right to leave a task
unfinished. This day, this bour, this
minute, puts a task into our hands
‘Because of the nall the shoe was
lost; because of the shoe the horse
was lost; because of the horse the
rider was lost; becanse of the rider
the battle was lost.” 8o it was the

ir Henry Roscoe tells this of the
scientist Paraday and his assistant,
Sergeant Anderson: “Anderson was
the sole assistant to Faraday and of
course was utterly uneducated in scl
entific matters, but he could obey or-
ders, which 1s not always a character.
istic of an educated man. One day
Anderson was told by Faraday to
keep stirring a pot containing some
chemicals over a fire until he return
od. faraday, being in the habit of
going upstairs to tea In his rooms
and coming down directly afterward
to work in the laboratory during the
evening. For some reason he was
prevented from coming down again
and forgot that he had told Anderson
to watch the pot. On coming down
the next morning he found Anderson
still stirring the pot, having been at
it the whole night and thus carrying
out the order which was given him.”

Parisian Street Barbers.
The French capital, like that of
China, has its street barbers. In Paris
the perambulating tonsorialists carry
a little box containing the usual out
fit of their calling. Their chief pat
rons are laboring men.
The = barber of Paris usually
places his fustomer upon the banks of
the Seine or in some spot aside from
the crowd, covers his knees with a
newspaper, and proceeds to work. For
only one sou ho will shave a man, cut
his hair and generally impart to him
a more or less smart appearance,
These barbers are sald to make
quite a respectable sum even at the
small fee they charge.
Useless Extravagance.
The charitable lady was treating a
pensioner to a set of false teeth. The
pensioner picked out the cheapest set
offered,
“Don't you think it would be well
to select better teeth while you are
about it?” the lady asked. “I am per
fectly willing to pay a little more and
get good ones”
“Oh, ma'am,” lisped the pensioner.
“What'th the uthe of putting any more
money into thomething that my hus
band will only knock down my throat
the firtht time he geth real mad?”

The Best He'd Ever Known.
“lI remember some years ago, trav-
eling in a thirdclass carriage with
two mechanics and a clergyman,” says
an English writer of note. “Presently
the workmen began to discuss a mu-
tual friend. ‘Ah, he was a good man,’
sald the elder of the two, ‘the best
man I think I have ever known, and
