An Observant Barber.

y weary-lOoking young man dropped
into an end chair in n downtown bar
Der shop the other day and said sharp-
ly, shave" relates the Baltimore Sun.
Yes, SIR replied the kuleht of the
brush and blade. as he began 10
anoint the young mans face with
lather. After a moments reelection the
barber asked. Would you be offended
SIR # l were to tell you your occupa-
ton and d popularity of yourself?"
why, no., replied the wondering
customer. Let's hear it."
We'll, you are a bookkeeper by pro-
fession, and you are left-handed."
The young man gasped in astonisn-
ment and asked the barber how he
knew these facts.
For awhile the barber refused to tell
the secret Of his power, but he was
finaty induced to clear up the mys-
terry.
Il know you are a bookkeeper," he
said, because your hair is stained
with red and black ink back of your
ear. where you have been in the habil
of placing your pen. The fact that tnt
marks are back of your left ear show
that you are left-handed, and the fac
that you use red and black ink show:
you to be a bOOkkeeper and not a clerl
or a literary man"
The customer left the place marvel
ing much at the simplicity of tn
methods of Sherlock Holmes.
