A Curious Story.

One OF our best and best-known
knights of the razor tells curious story
for which he vouchcs himself and brings
witnesses whose word, As vol as his
own, cannot be impeached. Several
days ago man called in for shave.
and taking his seat in the chair, had
his wants duly attended to. The oper-
ator noticed feather sticking out in
his beard, which was rather well grown
and supposing it had merely lodged
there started to pull it out. The man
stopped him, saying, Don't that hurts
me-" He then told our informant that
ever since his beard began to grow that
feather had had y place on his cheek.
and that pulling it ont did not check
the growth, but rather increased it. He
had finally concluded to accept it as in
evitable, and accordingly never allows
it TO be pulled out now. The feather
was very perfect, and about like that
ordinarily plucked from n chicken's tail.
