hard work sometimes. James

SWIPED A BARBER'S POLE,
BUT WONT DON STRIPES
New York, Feb. 21. "Ha!
Vengeance is mine," quoth Hen
ry Campbell, 14, as he dragged a
barber pole noisily dowh Amster
dam avenue.
"Sure, and you're mine," broke
in a big policeman, grabbing
Henry by the shoulder and rudely
shattering his dream of r-r-e-venge.
"What's it all about?"
Then Henry opened his heart
and mouth and poured forth
,his tale of woe to the copper.
"There's a Dago member of the
tonsorial Mafia up the street here,
and I'm getting even with him for
murder. He murdered my hair
for fair. Have a look."
The coppe'r looked. Henry's ,
hair was cut lik'e a French poodle
in distress. It looked like justi
fication, hut -the ' copper had to
take him. in. Henry repeated his
story to the judge:
"Judge, my mother sent me to
get my hair cut. But she didn't .
send me to get decorated like a
thatch roof on a Hottentot hut.
The barber used real scissors,
judge, but it looks like a goat had ,
been chewing my noodle. And ,
he charged 5 cents, too. So I
swiped the pole."
The magistrate admitted the
haircut was all the youth claim-
ed, and reluctantly sent him to
the Gerry society.
