HIS HAIR is HIS FORTUNE.
Bov With Long, Wavy Tresses and the
Commercial Instinct

Tvfeiye-year-old Willie Reynolds OF
Jersey Shore, Pa. boasts longer haF
than any boy in the United States Inc
hair which is of a silky fineness and or
a rich golden hue. measures exactly
,hirtv-six inches in length, ana many
fair made who takes solace IN "a wen
made ''switch" has sighed for Willie
long golden locks.
Mrs. REYNOLDS, the mother or Wine, Is
the possessor of head of hair, all her
own. which reaches 10 the tops OF ner
shoes, and from her Wllne uhdouDteuy
inherited the long locks which mark him
as unique among the boys Of America
Never since his birth has bis hair been
cut. with the exception of one day last
summer when q drunken Chinese laun-
drvman caught hold of the lad with big
pair of shears and clipped Off three inches
of his precious hair. Willie cried Tor a
week over the loss of part of his treasure
and the Chinaman narrowly escaped
lawsuit.
The strangest thing about the case is
the fact that Willie clings 90 his hair
with a devotion equal TO that or Sir cal
ahad on his quest for the golden grail
Perhaps the lad thinks his golden gran IL
his already, for he said TO me to-day
when | asked why he didn't want his HAIR
cut off like other boys:
MY hair is my fortune anu WIN II
am going to make money 10 help sup
port my dear mamma
The lads hair is so heavy and so long
that the greater portion IS rolled up
on the top of his head, while a golden
nigtail tied with an invariable blue rib
bon hangs down his back.
His father has already received several
offers TO have the boy exhibited In mu-
seums. but has declined them. The hair
is still growing, and at its present rate
Of growth should reach his feet in nve
years.
The lad has a delicate, pretty face,
with dbip blue ewes and fair complexion.
He looks with his hair down ike a
pretty little girl
Doctors state that the child's 1atuie
and disposition have already been az
fected by the long hair, as he is nervous
and not exactly like other boys He has
a sturdy figure, however, and not with
standing the great mass OF mar On ms

And no sorrow enter there
And that peace. will ever niger
