Aii Immediate Success.
The barber had been so roluble and pereistent rhat the bald-headed little man upon whom he was operating: had, in sheer desperation, purchased a two-and-ninepenny bottle of h : a ''Sprout Tnotanter" hauproducer. Two days later the little man bounced into thj saloon with a glai-e in his cyea that caused the proprietor to pick up the machine brush as a weapon of defence and to retreat precipitately to a position of safety behind the counter. '"That '-Sprout Instanler ' " commenced the little man in a tone that made al] the razors shi\er. '"But, oir, you muot have patience," interrupted the barber. "Why, it was onlytwo days ago *' "Patience!" broke in the irate one. "Great Scot! There ain't enough patience in the world to fit my ease ! That muddleheaded girl of ours has mistaken the hairproducer for furniture polish !" "Ah! I see," smiled the barber. "And you want anotliPr bottle?" •No I don't!' snapped the bald gentleman. ""I want to know how much you'll cha ge to shave our new dining-room suite"'"
