One Advantage of a Red Head By F. A. MITCHEL Copyright by American Trees A»»o---ctation. 1811.

I was born with a head of fiery red hair. As a kid I remember people looking at it as they would at a burning barn, making nil kinds of allusions to my hair and counties* Jokes, many of them very poor and In bad taste and all obnoxious to me. When I grew old enough to have a sweetheart 1 was obliged to go without one, all on account of the growth on my head. I kept IMcut very short, but without effect, as soon as I came in contact with man. woman or child I saw at once that my hair was against me. One thing I would not do— I refused all barbers who suggested my permitting them to dye it. On entering their shops 1 would say. "Hair cut; no dye." Whenever, after this notice. a barber offered to give my hair a different color 1 glared at him and told him that if be repeated the offer he must fight. 1 thrjiahed so many people for reference to my blemish that 1 became an expert boxer. Hoping that the ) eople of the west were more considerate than those of the east, I went to Denver. The first salute I received there was: “Hello, carrot top! Y’ goin’ to set the timber j on the mountings afire?” I had got tired of thrashing people and turned away without a word. I sought employment in a large manufacturing ' concern. On entering the office my eyes lighted on a gentleman sitting at a desk who had red hair, for all the world as red as mine. He looked up, and in an Instant his gaze was fixed on my top. He aroee from his chair and, advancing to the office rail, grasped my band in a vteellke grip. "My dear sir,” be said warmly and with a respectful mien I had never be- • fore been favored with, “what ean I do for yon?” Tm seeking employment." "Too shall have it right here. What ean yon do?" “Nothing. I must team. But I’m willing to work without pay till I do." ! “You’ll not work without pay here. Judging from your appearance, you are wed bred and educated. A man of ( your condition can't get on with less than a hundred dollars a month. Uli give you that and put you in our best ' department. Mr. Stamper!" he called. . An employee advanced, and I notic- | ed be, too. bad a red head. He was Instructed to put me to work and on , the payroll at the same time. As I passed through the works I noticed every man had a red head; but none | so red as mine and the manager's. I Ours was the same hue exactly. “You’ll be shoved up ahead of us all," said the man who bed taken me In charge. "Why so?" I asked. “You're the only man here who has as red hair as the president.” The words proved true. I was jump- i ed from one grade to another so fast ; that I barely bad time to learn the ; duties in each. And every time I j jumped my salary jumped too. Thia was not all. Mr. Flynn, the , president and principal owner, asked me one day Ao come to his house to 1 dinner. I went, of course, and was

introduced to his family. Every one : of his children had red hair of various ! shades. His oldest daughter, Emily, had veritable Titian lock*. For the first time in my life I felt easy In social company. For the first time not a person about me looked at my head, much less referred to It. MHs Emily Flynn was very gracious to me and was the first young woman who had ever thus treated me so. I was happy as a clam at high tide. After dinner she led me Into a separate parlor, and I spent the hours there chatting with her. They were thus far the happiest hours of my life. I left her with a wildly beating heart To make a long story short. Miss Flynn encouraged me and 1 encouraged Miss Flynn. One day sha told me I might go Bo her father and ask for her. I did so and was accepted for a aon-ln-law with great gusto. “Go back to Em." be said, "and. tell her you have my hearty consent, and remain, to dinner." I spent the afternoon with Emily and dined with the family. After dliir ner Mr. Flynn said to ma-: “You have shown wanderful restraint in not asking why I have welcomed you Into my business and into my family. The time has come for me to enlighten you. "Years ago I came- to this coontry from Ireland wlthcwt a cent and worked at any job 1 could gat tn a great city. One day 1 was arrested, accused of stealing from a Jew. He had told the police that a red headed Irishman bad robbed him. I was stood in line with several other men, and this Jew picked me out as the man who had robbed him. I was tried, and the evidence was strong against me. I was about to be convicted when a red headed man strolled In among the spectators. My attorney, following a suggestion given by the man’s red hair, called for him and placed him beside me. Then he sent for the Jew and when he came Into court asked him which of the two had robbed him. ■ The Jew couldn’t tell. He had simply Identified me because the man who had robbed him bad a red head. The jury acquitted me at once. “ ’God bless red headed men!’ I exclaimed. ‘From this day they are all my bosom friends.' “And It has always been my wish to have a red beaded son-in-law and be the progenitor of generatioua of red headed descendanta,”

STORY’S SEQUEL D. N. Erwin Writes Rhyme Finishing Tale of the Midnight Ride. SAYS IT RHYMES Though It Doesn’t Tell the Truth-Read What It Says. AU good stories have sequels and here 1* one that was written as a se-quel-to the poem story of the judges ride of many years ago behind the brindle steer —which was published a tew days ago, The following poem was written by D. N. Erwin of this city, and he says while it is highly imaginative and doesn't tell the truth, it “rhymes.” Here goes: I read in the Democrat's news page Os a Judge's life in an earlier age. How he hitched a steer to a Dutchman's sleigh And returned what was borrowed one winter day.

He tecs of John and Fred, and the I Dutchman's sled And the speed of the steer, and how 1 fast they fled. 1 Os what they borrowed, and w’hat they i took back. Os the fun they had, and for nothing lacked. i I read how the steer did bawl and < kick, And how the Judge alighted so quick How they all piled up with, the Judge on top. And how gfed they were when the steer did atop. I read how before they started out. Put lines to his horns so good: and stout. And also that the jug they hit, But the Judge doesn’t say that he drank a bit. I learn from the poem they butchered that day, And meat for the Judge was stored away. i But I cannot tell for the life of me here Why all these boys couldn't hold that steer: I have asked “John and Fred” for the truth of the story. And they say "the jug" put the Judge in his glory. And he it was only, who acted so queer, And they never went with him, driving a steer. That he drank of the jug. and to the barn went, And hitched up a steer without their consent, That they brought the Judge home and put him to bed, And thought when they found him he surely was dead. They say they can't tell by the speed of his flight How he ever survived from the she -!t and the fright. That the poem he wrote doesn’t near* tell it all, For the steer as he ran. did much worse than bawl. They think 'twas the steer but say they don't know And no one could tell by the color of the snow. And more of the story and plight they wonlt tell, Bnt congratulate Tom, that he came out so well. And as to the route he took, no one would know Except from the change in the color of snow. 4 They said. “Tell the Judge since he tries cases well. That the worst of the story they never will tell.” But to tell you the truth, though he stuck like a witch, Tom was all when they fell in the ditch. And though he much'feared he had lost his good name, He now is the Judge with honor and fame. LAID TO REST.
