AN IMPROMPTU BARBER.

Once upon time when I was consider
ably younger than am now, I took sud-
den notion to be barber then and there.
I succeeded in finding mothers large
shears and then started out in search of
work. I sheared all the fringe off the
portieres within my reach and was just
asking Mr.. Chairarm if he would have a
shave or haircut when mother came in! I
won't attempt to describe what happened
but the air was 50 full of sound that
one might have taken the big shears and
cut out chunk Of any size desired. Then
was locked in the most terrible of places
