Locks of All Colors.

An Atchison young man gets a lock of hair from every new “steady” and has collected an elaborate array during the ten years he has been in the market. The color of the hair in his collection varies from a bright red to a coal-black. He has over sixty specimens, which shows that he has averaged a new'"steady” every two months during the time he has been gathering his collection. Some of his specimens have faded badly, showing that the hair had been dyed. One specimen has changed from a deep black to red and gray. He prizes his collection very highly and keeps it locked up for fear some one will steal it. > Whenever he sees a girl with a shade of hair which is different from anything he has in his collection, he immediately goes after her and shp becomes his “steady” until he gets a lock of hair. Then he goes after another girl with a new shade of hair. He has heard of girls who had blue hair and is now looking for one. He claims to have seen a,girl with a little blue mustache but was afraid to ask for a specimen.—Atchison Globe.
