IS CUT OFT Prominent Doctor Loses His
 Mustache.

The man looked quite familiar as he stood just forward of the pilot house oi the Dolphin when she arrived in port last night. On a second glance he looked even more familiar Yes, it must be he, but what on earth had hap peuedy
 It was our old Dr. Keller sure enough but he had last hts mustache. And thereby hangs a tale.
 AS Dr. Keller came down the gang way he was met by a number of his friends but they gave him the glassy stare.
 Whats wrongY
 "Oh, nothing" said Dr. Reed, "bui your wife won't know you with that bunch on your upper lip gone"
 "Then for heavens sake telephone Co her am coming and she will know my walk" said Dr. Keller. HThe story of. how Dr. Keller lost his mustache," is told by himself: "Dr. Moore and I were in a Juneau barber shop. The Doc, says shave your mus ,ache and oG comes my beard l said it's a go, and jumping back in the chair soon lost my upper lip window cur tain. Dr. Moore was knocked out, but his beard came of just the same. Say may be disfgured but you ought to see Dr. Moore, he looks like a boiled cabhaue."
