known as American too, but the na
forlty of the fashionably dressed
young men in tho streets and cafes|
are smooth shaven. Many of them,
rr. the barbers say, shave the first'
tiling in tlie morning and again latei
in tho day, before starting out for!
the evening.
Among the workingmen and cor- (
tain old timers still in the army or |
government service a modified “Kais-I

nearly all of the old rank officers,
wore upright mustaches with care-! ,
fully waxed ends which reached ; t
nearly to their eyes. But the mus-! ,

which the Individual took marvelous
pride, is entirely out of date.

ST LOUIS, Mo., Fob. 26.-—When
pa&sengelr service on the Mississippi
is returned between St. Paul, Minn.,

b' the first time in about seven years
that direct passenger river service
will be available between these
points, aceordlDR to ' T> Pram, gen
eral manager Of the Mississippi and
Ohio Steamboat Comipany, which will
renew tho 'service.
Mr Franz explained that shipping
ly waitor was returning, and that,
order present 'plans, his company
i would have freight carriers plying
the river from St. Paul to New Or
ceins.
“We shall begin by carrying pas
| sen gens only,-' Mr. Franz said, “and
| later we shall take freight on boats
constructed especially for freight
ihauMng. There Is every indication
that we wlill meet with success from
the start, as It generally is con
! ceded 'that both passengers and
freight can be handled by water for
about 3T> per cent less than by ra'il.
"When expanding our service to
jlncluda freight, we expect to make
agreements with railroad for Inter

plan to have 'tracked docks so .freight
cars can be pulled aboard our boats
