WHY WENNE SHAVED.

Sad Story of Mustache That Made

John Wenne, a clerk at the Baltimore, is minus his mustache, and thereby hangs a tale.

John is still in his early twenties and he had ambitions to grow one of those curling mustaches which he has seen guests from abroad wear while stopping at the hotel. He did very well and was proud of it until Saturday evening.

"I would like to talk to the young man over there," remarked a feminine guest at the hotel to Mr. Wenne, as she indicated Clerk Louis Kleeberger. John looked in the glass.

"Any time I am taken to be older than Kleeberger because of a mustache, that ornament comes off," he told the barber.
