A New York lawyer died In a barbershop while waiting for the barber to call “Next!” It was very considerate of him to die before he was shaved. Barbers get extra pay for shaving a corpse.— Buffalo Express. A Boston barber claims to be the swiftest man in the profession. He says he shaved a man neatly and then ran 100 yards all in one minute and threequarters. He does not state whether or not the victim overtook him.—Quincy Whig. A Connecticut barber went crazy and the man in his chair had to flee for his life. It is possible that the tonsorial artist had been trying too abruptly to swear off talking weather and politics to his customers.—New York World.
