"Red men meet tonight and Tve got to took pretty.” Rudy gave him a good shave, (bordered with a lot of hot towels, (plenty of facd lotion and talcum. It must have taken half an hour to got Ithe plumber properly beautified. > The next day Rudy got the plum-

Sr’s bill. It included the half-hour helmd occupied in shaving the pipe doctor. Rudy was shocked, mazed, stupefied! "Get this,” he said to his barbers and the customers. “Get this! I shaved the plumber on his time and he charges 75 cents an hour for it It took me half an hour to fix him up to go to lodge. I charged him 18 cents for the shave. Now he comes back at me wanting 37*4 cents for the time he was in my chair. Say, tell me, where does a poor, honest home-loving, good Christian barber come in when bo’s monkeying with a plumber?"
