Tortnroi Which Attend a Young Man's First Visit to a Barber Shop for a Bhave—Other Mean Things Ee Meats Whsn Leaving His

Toens. You people who think life is all a droit of bliss to a youth of eighteen are much mistaken. The individual who treads the path which separates happy youth from established manhood has more kinds of trouble than an elevator boy. lie knows he isn't an inf.mt and yet he knows he dare not assert a claim toman's imperial estate. He is constantly getting' in the way of ai® grown people, aud recoils from their itsassault in fear and trembling only to be shocked into imbecility by the small fi boy whose weJl-contained nerves feel no modest fancies. He would gladly give two years of his life for any imMjw aginable consideration, but finds years !-J$K4 a drug on the market, and can only |sf struggle along through this painful transition period until Father Time shall kindly make a man of him. He puts on a new suit of clothes and ven•r:$teK tures forth iuto the free air, sweating his fears through every pore, selects ,j the most ua.'ror[ueuted ways aii'J v:z~ ife, In speechless embarrassment right 4® into the presence of some dainty maidfexn who might-sit as a painter's model compos 'a. ||jp How he longs for the years when he can be a calm young man with a musfe Hnche, to stand even before grown girls and bandy repartee without being '-.".^hampered bv that ossified intelligence, and with the marvelous fortune to so acquit himself that they shall admire ftp him!

Speaking of beards—how eagerly he scans the advertisements of a drug warranted to produce a fine beard in five days. How often he buys it and it! How bitter his disppointment when the same old chin comes up as naked as an e?g from every now iSsp application' How miserly he saves s|- his few dimes and buys a shaving outtfslit of an unpleasant clerk, who can pi® wear pomade on his lip adornment, and how clumsily he attempts his first Lsitrhavo. Oh, how he longs for a ife mustache! Bui dull razors that ho cannot sharpen drive him at last to the few awful resolve for an assault on the barber.

How a boy suffers when he goes for his first shave. The stillest hour of plv'jthe afternoon is taken—when no one if pis likely to be in the shop—but the uniuV. happy panter after age walks past a dozen places because they hold too fe?iraany witnesses. He enters one at fi^last in sheerest desperation, sweeps a a frightened glance about, and half expects to hear them shout: "Goin1 tq git his first sliaVa—ha! ha!" and then he breaks for the first chair. "Shave?" asks the barber, with a fsss pretense of respect, while the youth knows all hands have quit their occuS5 pations to see him. He wriggles farm* ther back in the chair, fuming and boiling because his courage will not ...» come, till the barber says again, more ||ssternly this time—"shave?" "Wo, hair cut," gasps the victim, fit? and his chance is gone. He knows as fefi well as the terrible man who is making fife merry with him that the hair doesn't need cutting. But the deepest depth few of his hcartrendering trouble comes when ho reflects he only brought money enough for a shave! However will he get out of this scrape?

These things may look like folly to bearded men who have outgrown all boyish foolishness and these men may suggest the use of a little common eense as an excellent preventive a9 well as cure for this unwelcome affliction. But common sense is just what the victim cannot command. To the large majority of maturing youths come morbid crosslight falls upon the scene, and he loses the hold on things of even balance. Little by little fate raitigates bis sentence, until with man hood's years and pressing cares the nerves are foroed in conduits and kept in strict control. The budding youth has passed to soberer maturity, and finds his only recompense of distant pain by watching here and there another victim in the toils of time.

CHEATING HORSE BLANKETS

Nearly every pattern of Horse Blanket is imitated in color and style. In most cases the imitation looks just as good as the genuine, but it hasn't the warp threads, and so lacks strength,and while it sells for only a little less than the genuine it isn't worth one-halfasmuch. The fact that

An unexpected termination to what was intended as a wedding occurred in Justice Hall's office, Jeffcrsonville, just before church Sunday evening. About 5 o'clock Mr. George Baker and Miss Mary Moore, of Louisville, came over to be united They were accompanied by Charles Louch and Miss Jennie Saunders as witnesses. While crossing the river on the ferry boat Miss Saunders, conceiving the brilliant idea of a double wedding, proposed to M. Louch. The blushing young man was taken by surprise, but as soon as he could gather himself together lie fidgeted a little bit and then openly demurred. The proposition was respectfully but firmly declined. Now it happened that Miss Saunders and Miss Moore had been "comrades ever since they were born," and loya. comrades, as shown by the sequel. Miss Saunders, after failing to snare a husband off-hand, was consumed with a desire for revenge. She made a flank movemeut by persuading Miss Moore to refuse to marry Baker unless Louch could be brought to terms. In spite of the entreaties of both young women, however, Louch proved obdurate. Mr. Baker, who was to have been a groom, was the picture of despair when he became convinced that Miss Moore had really made up her mind nottc marry him. The outcome of the affair was that the parties returned to Loui^yille after spending an hour at Justice Hall's office trying to effcct a compromise.

With an Obvious Moral.

Once upon a Time a Larg-e and Haughty Silver Spoon met an Humble and Three-pronged steel Fork on a Dinnei Table. V**.' "What are you doing here?" said the Spoon, with great Arrogance. "Nothing1 to speak of," repliod the Fork, with exceeding Diffidence. •'Then you are in no way like My self," continued tho Officious and Haughty Spoon, with a very larg manner./*

"No," said the Fork, sympathetically, "for I do not get into the Soup." Thereupon the Spoon was very sorrj it had traduced the Fork, and sadly and silently waited for the fh\st course. Ti d-Bits. 'jhjt'. -f

A secret cave has recently been discovred in the vicinity of Valparaiso. It is the second one discovered within the past ten days.

It. was found that rude stalls had been constructed, there being space enough for quartering twenty or more horses. Several little rooms roughly furnished were utilized as hiding places of the thieves. The sand, which covered all tracks of man and beast, has always prevented the successful trackingof the gang, but the discovery of this secret rendezvous has probably cut short the operations of the most daring gang of thieves in northern Indiana.

The body of a contractor named Tansy, exhumed on tho 10t.h, was found to be dividing its restiug place with tho remains of an unknown child concealed in tho draperies. A similar instance brought to light a fortnight ago was declared by tho undertaker to be merely the evidence of a plot by discharged omployes to ruin his business.
