YARNS AS THEY ARE TOLD.

The story is related of young man
who went into one of the local barber
shops not far from Main street recently
and got his hair cut. The next time
he went into the shop to get a shave
he told the barber that he did not like
the hair cut he got there. He said
the hair on the top of his head stuck
up on end and would not lie down like
the rest of his hair. The tonsoriaI
artist told him it was not his fault
that his hair stood on end, and said il
was caused by his blood being too
rich The man wanted to know what
ne could get for his blood, and the
barber advised him to diet himself for
| two or three weeks. The young man
came in three weeks after, and the
barber asked if his hair still stood out
straight. He said it did not, but that
at first ne had thought the facial
artist was fooling him. The barber
told the story to the next customer
who came in, and added. "All the
fools are not dead yet Any man
ought to know that in three weeks
his hair would grow long enough to
be brushed down so it would not stand
on end. - -rt aa-ra.r g. -..
