WOULDN'T HAVE MS HAIR CUT.
The Father Drove His Son Out BE-
cause of His Long HIrsuite.

From the Baltimore American.
st. Louis, Aug. 6.-The following ad-
vertisement appeared in the local paper
causing Albert Loehrs hopes to go up
and his heart to go down:
Notice.-That Albert Loehr, my son, has
left his home on his own account, and
that every person is cautioned not TO
trust or credit him, as / shall not be re-
sponsible for his debts T. Loehr
Mr. Loehr,, ST., is wine dealer at 10
North Third street, and resides in a
handsome three-story stone front house at
1924 Garrison avenue. Mr. Loehr says his
son, who is IS years old, had a good
home, but could not resist an inclination
to become "dudish," which was a thorn
in the fathers side, he having a special
aversion to that species of humanity.
Besides this, Albert had a fondness for
dissipation; but just what form his sons
good times" took Mr.. Loehr would not
say He said he knew nothing Of "wo-
man in the case" but limited at an inor-
dinate desire of the young mans to come
home at late hours, more or less under
the influence but generally moro than
less, upon which occasions, owing to
scarcity Of keyholes, the young man made
enough noise to awaken the dead. When
the father demonstrated with the son
for this, the latter said he had ethical
ideas of his own, and If he could not car
ry out his pet theories at home, ne
would go elsewhere.
Then Mr.. Loehr told Albert to go and
be - happy. Albert went.
That was on Saturday, May 8. Unlike
the cat of the story, he did not come
back. He did not leave home on his own
accord. Because he refused to have his
hair cut short, his father drove him away,
he says. He wanted to have my halr
clipped close to my head. like-a-like-a-
l don't what" said Albert.
Then Albert left home. He donned his
clothes that were dudish, brushed his long
hair gracefully over his ears, and went
visiting his friends. Nothing was too
good for him in the interim-and the bills
were sent to the old man. He purchased
more swell clothes, abjured celluloid col
lars and spent money on everybody but
BARRIERS. But lately the storekeepers have
been fighting shy of Albert Rumors of
the state of affairs began to circulate. and
finally Albert had to go to work He had
only been out of school for a Year, and
had never worked; so a suitable position.
where he could perspire in his garments
la mode was hard to find. But one must
eat, whether one wears celluloid collars
or not, and young Loehr was no excep-
ton to the rule. He was commencing to
look a little "Seedy," too, after running
with the gang who can beer on the lots
around Garrison and Case avenues Then
he decided he would go to work for Jim
Corcoran, of 1722 North Leffingwell ave-
nue., who owns teams. Corncoran lives IN
a little one-story brick house, which was
quite a contrast to the swell home of the
Loehrs; but when Albert was seen there
yesterday, hustling among the horses. di-
vested of all things dudish but his hair, he
looked contented enough. He said he
would never go home again. He was sat
isfied where he was He could wear good
clothes at night. 1.-The old man insisted
on my having my hair clipped short, and
l wouldn't do it. 1 guess he thought peo-
pie would take me for a populist, and he'd
be disgraced; but l wouldn't get it cur
and he ran me away from home"
This is not Albert's first escapade Of
stayed until the weather got cold. The
father killed the fatted calf, and thew
kissed and made up; but both father and
son say this separation lis for keeps. %
