"The farmer style of whisker was the most popular, largely, no doubt, beâ€" cause it required little or no attention It was simply an irregular brush frnce MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7TH, 1093A "Our predecessor males had many choices in the matter of style of facial adcrnment. There was the Dundreary whisker with its elaborate sideburn efâ€" fect. There was the handlebar musâ€" tache, somelimes known as the "walâ€" rus" and not entirely relegated to limâ€" bo even yet. One of the best known of our mining fraternity sports one and a prominent geologist of a few years ago brought his bristling hirsute tusks into many a gathering. There was the dignified Vandyke beard which seemed to be the favorite of the medical proâ€" fession. Then the "gravy slide" was much effected by the oldtime "sporis" of poolroom and racetrack classificaâ€" tion. It was a little tuft of whisker which depended from the lower lip, its location and appearance suggesting the irreverent name which it earned. Writing in The Northern Miner las week, W. J. Gorman in his happy col umn, "Grab Samples," has the follow ing disertation on "Whiskers": "To the present generation whiskers look odd ut the beardliess adult man Oof fifty years ago was a freak.

This was the type that prompted the invention of those mustache cups which used to aâ€" dorn the sideboard of oldâ€"fashioned dining rooms. It was a spectacle to see a fashionable young man inhaling tea from one of those cups, with the mustache bristling out in a fringe, the while he elegantly crooked his little finger. A man with this kind of whiskâ€" ery drinking a schooner of beer, liftâ€" ing his face, disclosed a beaded fringe from which he promptly sucked in with ‘fls tongu>:, inhaling. You can almost hear him do it. "One wonders what the ladies of ‘the Whisker Period thought of it all.

This type was ill suited to the tobaceo chewer who had occasion to spit into the wind; in time it became colored like a meerschaum pipe and its appearance of disreputability made it unpopular with the ladies.

For Your TIMMINS "The oldâ€"fashioned farmer‘s whisker had its drawbacks, of course. In beâ€" lowâ€"zero weather icicles formed in the undergrowth and had to be pulled off after heating over a box stove or kitchâ€" en range. Bush fires occasionally broke out when lighting a pipe and that was embarrassing. In the old days men actually used to fight instead of callâ€" ing each octher names and in a roughâ€" andâ€"tumble scrap a beard was a delâ€" inite handicap as well as a handy handful for an opponent.

But the oldtimers were virile men and had the whiskers, as well as other results, to show for it." fiing. A ticklish business, hissing in the old days, one would say. Yet, judgâ€" ing by the literature of the Victorian age, the ladies seemed to have a penâ€" chant for the whiskered gent. Tlusâ€" trations in the romantic novels deâ€" picted stylish men with beautiful beards which appeared to make the young girls‘ hearts go pitâ€"aâ€"pat. Dear Diaries carried many references to the facial adornment of their writers‘ heroes. "It is a qulestion whethcr the men of today could grow the beards of their grandfathers. Now and again contests are staged as stunts and, judging by the resulis, the wouldâ€"beâ€"growers haveâ€" n‘t got what it takes nine times out of ten. The continued use of the razor seems to have discouraged hair growth. Some of the impromptu beards are sights, growing out horizontally or in patches and fringes. The tooth brush mustache of the late war, with its rare survivals, is a cas> in point. When the colonel asked his officers to grow manâ€" ly looking mustaches, presumably with the idea of frightening ‘the enemy or impressing the troops, results were, in the main, pitiful.

Dr. G. A. Rioux, coroner at Rouyn, has received assurance that this matâ€" ter is receiving attention, but the time of the expert‘s arrival has not yet been announced, ® Position of Bullet Makes Suicide Improbable. An inquest was opened on Monday evening and was continued until a late hour, which revealed that Miroslovic had been shot in the headâ€"the posiâ€" tion of the bullet, seeming to exclude the theory of suicide. (The bullet had ntered at the left side of the base of the skull and appears to be lodged unâ€" der the right eye. . Witnesses heard at that time. were Angeline Houle, alias Marguerite Kenâ€" ny, wife of the victim, and Joseph Parâ€" lodgau, Arntficld taxi driver, both of whom are bsing detained, the former in Rouyn and the latter in Noranda, until the arrival of Dr. Fontainc. â€" In the interim members of the ~Abitibl Pa{rol, Provincial Police have made furâ€" ther intensive investigations and will have more evidence to present when the inquest is resumed. .

It was claimed by Provincials that only expert examination would reveal whether the wound in the man‘s head was made by a bullet from the .2 riflie which was found near his body or not, and for this reason the autopsy to extract the bullet from the man‘s head was requested. Photographs of the dwelling and the body of Miraslovic as he was found by police, were produced at the preliminary inquest. There was evidence that other shots hmd been fired . Considerabie stress was laid on the fact, by Angeline MHoule, that being very intoxicated on the Sunday night, her husband had made her go to bed about 10.30 o‘clock and that she knew nothing of what had taken place until she awakened som»e hours later and found Miroslovic dying on the filoor. She asked him what had happened, to which he replied, she said, "Nothing, Honey." She admitted that her husband was jealous of Joseph Farlodeau, and that he had reason to be. She claimed to be afraid of him (her husband) as he had often menaced her and at timés actually struck her. Both women and Parlodeau stated that he (FParlodeau) had been in the house for part of the evening. The taxi driver claimed that Miroslovic had taken a gun and had told him to "get out" about the same time as he made his wife go to bed, and that he had not returned to the house again that night and that he had leatned of the man‘s death from Constable Simpson of Arntficld, the following morning. Two members of the Provincials had gone from Noranca slightly before four o‘clock on Monday morning, to the seene of the trazedy, and at 8 o‘clock had returned to request Subâ€"Inspector J. A. Matte :o zo out himself. Many ~of the questions at the inâ€" quest, were asked by Chief Matte or his assistants, which was rather unâ€" usual procecure, conceded the coroner, but, under the circumstances,, quite permissible, as the police were in posâ€" session of much valuable information on the subject.
