He is sup posed to receive from his employers suf ficient salary, either in percentage or wages, to live. "I know a man who went into a local barber shop this week for a shave, hair cut and shampoo. He handed the boss a dollar to pay for the work. The boss asked what should be done with the change, and was told to give it to the barber. But the boss gave it to the ' customer instead. The customer re turned two days later for a shave and '.told the barber he would make good on . a tip that time. . . fc ? 'I think I see you giving some one money, replied the barber, saucily..
