Gets Fifty-dollar Tip for a Shave.
Jack O’Reilly, barber in West Third Street, Los Angeles, Cal., had the surprise of his life a few days ago. A prosperous-looking man walked into the shop. When the job was done, the patron unlimbered a wad of bills, stripped off a fifty-dollar yellowback, and said: “Things have come my way handsomely. Here’s a bit of a tip.”
Leaving O’Reilly stupefied with astonishment, the man walked out. He was a prosperous Los Angeles stock broker, O’Reilly said.
