When the Kansas country editor dips his pen into the inkpot of fine writing, he is bound to. leave a pretty trail.

A young Swedish girl just from the old country attended church at Minnesota town and the pastor has tened to her with words of welcome and expressed a wish of calling cn her soon.

It Is not Improbable that prehistoric man shaved, for curiously shaped shells and flint flakes have been discovered which have been supposed io be very ancient razors. In remote parts of China men have their chins scraped, without water or soap, by instruments very similar to these, and the men of the stone age would most likely find out at a very early stage that to leave hair upon their face was to give a useful handle to their enemies. That, indeed, was the reason why Alexander the Great compelled his sol diets to shave, and his order is among the earliest definite Instances of shaving upon record, although there can be no question that the practice existed long before his day. The oldest Egyptian sculptures show some men clean shaven, and others partially so, with curled beards. It is recorded in Genesis that Joseph, when he went from prison to the presence of Pbaruoh, about 1500 H. C., “shaved himself and changed bls raiment.” Alexnndcr’w I’nlace. The palace of Alexander the Great whs an imposing structure in Its time, and the wonder is that any vestige ot it stands today. It was built in a manner much more substantial than that of today, though advocates of steel construction claim that the modern structure will defy time as long as any of those built by the ancients. Time alone will determine how much truth there is in this conteutlou. On the Asiatic plain are the massive remnants of an ancient gateway fringed with weeds, and. vaguely knowing who he was, the natives tell that this is all that is left of the palace of Alexander Where Man nail Dok Olffer. “Pedigree in a dog makes Elm valuable. doesn’t it?” “Certainly.” “Funny, isn’t it?” “What's fanny?” “Why, it’s my exporfimce that pedigree makes ■ mnn pretty darn neat worthless." —Chicago I’osL Few Prayers.
