Susquehanna. July 2S.-Mr. and
Mrs. Hazzlegood, of Lanesboro.
have recently had troubles of their
own For several months Mr.. Hazzle-
goods hair has been falling out, and he
purchased a bottle of restorative of a
peregrinating peddler, warranted to
make hair grow on the baldest head
in sixteen days. For a year or so Mrs.
Hazzlegood's peace of mind has been
very much disturbed by the appearance
of fuzzy growth of hair upon her
face. While in Binghamton, recently,
she purchased an electric wash, war
ranted to remove superfuous hair in
two days or so. Both used their To-
tions for few days, with very satis-
factory results. In an evil hour the
servant girl, in some manner, changed
the bottles, and Mr.. and Mrs. Hazzle-
good continued their treatment. Then
the trouble commenced. The remain
ing locks on Hazzlegood's head rapidly
fell out, and today he is as bald as
billiard ball, while his enraged better
half has beautiful beard, and is COM
PEELED to shave twice a week. Hazzle-
good discovered the mistake when too
late, and is using sixty new cuss words,
while his wife threatens to sue the
servant girl for 100000 damages.
