8 THE LAURINBURG EXCHANGE, THURSDAY OCT. 27, 1910. HON. ROBT. N. PAGE Will Speak at October WAGRAM Monday Night, 31, 1910, at 8 p. m. GIBSON Tuesday Night, November 1st., 1910, at 8 p. m. The Public Is Urged To Attend. Getting a Shave in Rome. Youths Companion. The barbers of Rome are to be avoided, declares Mr. Harry A. Franck in “A Vagabond Journey Around the World.” He avoided a barber shop as long as possible but there came a day when he was obliged to enter. The seat prepared for customers was a mere chair, decidedly rickety one. I had all but fallen asleep a- waiting the barber’s appearance, when he approached stealthily, and slapped me suddenly and emphatically on the point of the chin with the brush of a bank rupt bill-poster. The blow was nothing compar ed with the temperature of the splash of lather that accompani ed it. The cold chills set the ends of my toes tingling. There ensued a lathering of which no American so fortunate as to have spent all his days in the land of his first milk-bottle can form a conception. From ear to to ear, from Adam’s apple well up my nostrils, that icy lather was slapped and rubbed in with the paste-brush and the rasp-like palm of the manipula tor, until my first notion that this thorough soaping was to lighten the work with the razor was succeeded by the fear that my torturer had decided to dis pense with the razor entirely and wear my beard off. When he had covered all my face but one eye, the barber laid aside his brush, strolled to the door, and stood with his arms akimbo, evidently to give his biceps time to recover from their strenuous exertions. A fellow townsman sauntered by, and the two fell into a dis cussion that involved the advance of a half-cent a liter in the price of wine. The lye on my face be gan to draw and tingle, the chair groaned under me, and still the dispute raged at the door. For tunately the townsman was call ed away before it was settled. The barber gazed after his retreating form, hummed an opera air sotto voce, and glanced at the sky for signs of a storm. Then he turned slowly round, stared frowningly at me for sev eral moments in an effort to re call how a man all soaped and ready for the razor had got into his establishment, and with a sigh of regret at the task before him, hunted up the razor, strop ped it, and fell to. A hack at one side of my face razed at least a dozen hairs. The torturer changed his mind con cerning the point of attack, and transferred his efforts to the oth er side. He began once more, this time at the point of the chin, working his way upward by a series of cuts and slashes, and having removed from my face most of the skin, a fair share of the lather, and even some of the beard, stepped back to survey his handiwork. “Here, you’re not finished!” I cried, pointing to my upper lip. “What! Shave your lip?” “Certainly.” “But why?” “Because I want it shaved.” “Santissima Madonna!” he gasped, making several passes before a chromo print of the Vir gin on the back wall. “Here is a man who wants the upper lip of a woman!” However, having called atten tion to his innocence, he shaved the lip, and relieved an anxiety under which I had labored since entering the shop, for many a barber of Italy had refused point blank to undertake any such un precedented defilement of the human face. A GENEROUS And CHARITABLE WISH. “I wish all might know of the benefit I received from your Foley’s Kidney Remedy,” says I. N. Regan, Farmer, Mo. His kidneys and bladder gave him so much pain, misery and annoy ance he could not work nor sleep. He says Foley’s Kidney Remedy complete ly cured him. Prince & Blue. “Jimmie, said the teacher in geography class, “what is a cape?” “A cape is land extending into the water.” “Correct. Now, William, de fine a gulf.” “A gulf is water extending in to the land.” “Good. Christopher (to a small, eager-looking boy), “what is a mountain?” Christopher shot up from his seat so suddenly as to startle the teacher, and promptly respond ed: “A mountain is land extending into the air.”—Dundee Adver tiser.
