About as amusing an incident as we
know of occurred in a barber shop this
week. A crusty old fellow wearing a
shining silk hat walked IN, and, after
laying the head covering on the table.
stretched himself IN the chair and re-
signed his physiognomy to the knight of
of the razor. Had he known what was
in store for the silk tile, there is no
doubt the peaceful look Of repose would
have left his face in short meter. When
the tOnsorial artist finished the scraping
process. the crusty customer got up and
saw a sight that made his blood run
cold. A bright lad is attached to the
shop who does miner offices, among
which is brushing the customers clothes
Constant practice has made the lad an
adept at handling the clothes broom.
Evidently wishing to please the customer
the lad had gathered the shining silk hat
and was vigorously busting it with his
wisp. The hat resembled cat that Is
expecting an attack from a dog. The
owner gave one howl and rescued the
hat from the astonished lad The air in
the vicinity still has a blueish tint, but
the faces of those who witnessed the in
cident still wear a smile.
