An Assistant Whose Name Nearly Caused

Down town on a side street there is
small barber shop. In it is a young
barber. He is an assistant and his
name is Guess He has been employed
there only few days, but he came very
near losing the job and on account of
his name, too.
The proprietor of the shop was in

He liked his appearance, was satisfied
with the amount of pay he expected to
receive and engaged him.
What is your name?" inquired the
boss.
Guess" was the reply.
''I'm poor hand at guessing Names"
responded the boss, but still he began
trying. "Well," he said, perhaps it
may be Schmidt"
NO" said the young man quietly, but
none the less deliberately, Guess"
"Lutz," ventured the boss,

a smile, Guess"
Huber" returned the boss desper-
ately.
The young man shook his head and
again replied with an emphasis Guess"
Then the boss showed signs of fatigue
and anger.
'See here, young fellow, If you can't
answer civil question ] think you'd
better look elsewhere for a job. Now,
sir, am in no humor for trifling; what

Now it happened that the boss first
name was George, and naturally he
thought the young man was still anus

this has gone far enough. If you will
not tell me your name you'll have to get
out, that's all there is to it."

will care more for one when he knows
that an idle jest, a careless word. a
familiar manner have not been given

dear girl, because you are my dear girl,
Just remember that while many a girl

special man who is worth consideration.
You do not think it quite nice to look
to marriage as your future? Why not?

man you love more interesting than
that of even your dearest woman friend?
