Fantastic Beard*.
It Is recorded that the reign of Henry
IV. of France was the golden age of
beards, for at that time quite as much
attention was paid to them as to the
dressiug of the hair of both sexes.
Beards were clipped in ail manner of
fashions—round, square, pointed, fan
shaped and after the fashion of an
artichoke leaf. Unfortunately when the
erase for beards of all shapes and sizes
was at Its height Louis XIII., who was
then a child, came to the throne, and
the beard had to go in honor of the
hairless chin of the new monarch.
Soon afterward the tuft, which Is still
so fashionable in France, came Into
vogue.
The Man In a Hurry.
The busy man chased a street car
for three squares because there -would
not be another car along for one min
ute. A trolley wire whs down, and the
conductor told the busy man It would
take three minutes to fix it so the car
could start. The busy man hailed a
passing taxi and paid $1.75 rather
than wait three minutes. Then he
dashed Into a cafe to get a drink be
fore he went up to his office. One
hour and forty minutes later he was
still arguing politics with an absolute
stranger, who had remarked to the
bnrkeep that Sniggs would surely de
feat Miggs for mayor.—Cincinnati En
