Balled Up the Barber.

Judge Blank is fond of relating how he put one' over on the barber who wished to make a -sale. The man had just shaved him, and wanted to sell him a lotion to use on his face when he shaved himself. “Is this what you use on your customers?” asked the judge. “No,” repl ted'the barber, “it’s so earpensive I cannot afford it” “If you can’t afford it when you get twenty cents for shaving a man,” returned the judge, “how do you expect me to afford it when I shave myself for nothing?” ’ The barber was nonplused and gave up trying to make the sale.—Boston Transcript. x
