Supreme Court to Value Beard.

Washington, D. C. —The learned judges of the United States Supreme Court must decide what a beard is worth. Never before has this august body been confronted with a problem which involved the value of “windchimes" to their owner. E. A. O’Sullivan, a widely known Louisville lawyer, has appealed to the court for a decision. He alleges his whiskers were trimmed on election day, 1908 by Paul Felix, while he was held by other men. He ’waited until after the men were found guilty of assault and then sued'Felix and William V. Stiles for $60,000. The latter claimed the suit was barred by a Louis iana law because it was not, held within tone year after the alleged trimming ot*the facial fuzz, and they were up held by the Louisiana courts. Now the highest court must decide.
