"There was a time when Senator Ba-econ, of Georgia, wore an ornate andlavish hirsute adornment like the fa-mous whiskers of Mr. Peffer, and pic-tures taken at the time he was presi-dent of the Georgia senate so repre-sent him. Now he contents himselfwith a simple mustache. How he hap-pened to shear his beard was told bythe senator himself recently.oIt was,� he began, owhen the rollerskating craze broke out and invadedthe best families in the south. Itstruck Macon, and somehow it found avictim in me. Everybody was going tothe skating rink, and consequently Iwent. I soon acquired a remarkabledegree of grace in gliding dreamilyover the floor to the pulsation of exhil-arating waltz strains. and my companywas in great demand by ladies whowere still somewhat distrustful oftheir own skill. .1 shall never forget.I was acting as the guardian angel oneevening of a lady whose main supportI was in her feeble efforts to prevent acollision with the floor, and we wererather tremileusly gliding hither andthither amone the erowd, when an in-valid on skates approached us from theopposite direction. [I saw at a glancethat the man had lost his compass, andnothing. but a blind reliance in Prov:dence was deferring his fall. That,moment came when he crushedagainst me. The collision disturbedthe center of gravity in my, fair com-panion, whilé at the same time it has-tened the (ownfall of the other.:: Be-fore I knew what was up the man, inorder to save himself, grasped hold ofone side of my whiskers, while the ladvfastened her grip on the other half, andboth held on for dear life while theirfeet were deseribing geometrical fig-ures on the slippery floor. Considera-tions of gallantry prevented me fromturning on the wretched being who wasclinging to my beard like the proverb-jal straw on one side and there I waswith two struggling fellow creaturesin the stress of despair dangling. oneach side of my Whiskers. That experi-ence determined me to. sacrifice thewhiskers, and to circumscribe my. in-dulgence in that line to a modest, un-obtrusive mustache, which affords nocomfort to unskilled skaters.�"Wash-The Test.oola man, I want you to be the bestman at. my wedding.�ohyp� PoWhat!
