To Steer With.

A fellow was having his hair cut the
other day in Sixth avenue barber shop.
He gave the barber particular instruc-
tions not to remove a long lock that pro-
jected in a somewhat unsightly way from
the front of his head.
SIT doesn't become your style Of beauty"
said the barber.
"Can't help that, said the customer.
Better let me clip 1t off, said the bar
Der, getting his shears ready.
"Just you leave it as it is, said the
man.
"But," persisted the barber, II can't
give you smooth, decent cut if leave
the hair so long in front. can't see what
you want 1t left there for"
"That's because you don't understand
the use Of it.
II know it's bunch Of hair, and that
it is deyilish unbecoming where it is"
eyes, it's bunch of hair, but it Is
something more. 1t is the family rudder. p"
"The family whatp"
"The family rudder. When affairs don't
60 right at home my wife always grabs
that lock Of hair. She would feel lost
without it. When she gets hold of that,
she can handle me-steer me in the right
course, SO to speak-and when go in the
right course all the family go in the right
course, and all Is we'll. I've got used to it.
Should lose my hair and become bald,
or should you give me a fighting cut all
over, it would be all over with me-there
would be no way of steering me- I should
become unmanageable and sooner or later
total wreck. Woodman-I mean barber
spare that lock. Texas Siftings.
