Sho suld ho couldn't man ugo to oat egg or drink coffco with a beard and he said ho bollovod he could. Ho Boomed to sort of pine for a board and so his kind wlfo finally gave in and ho scorned happy again Ho got along protty well for a Bpell but one day he was lighting a cigar and tlio beard caught flro. After that his wlfo made him cut It off and ho did. Ed looked horrified nt tills story and said ho was glad ho didn't havo a board and wo said wo would think a beard would bo in tho way when one was courting nnd Ed said lie didn't sco how, and Just as wo woro going to explain Indiana started to tell of a man ho once know who grow a board to cover a flat chin and wo said that might bo good thing and Ed said thoro were othor kinds of chins that ought to bo covered and Just as wo woro go ing to ask him what ho meant by that, Indiana said ho onco know a man who spent more tlmo combing nnd brushing his board than he would havo spoilt shaving and wo said wo didn't know they combed nnd brushed beards, and Ed asked how' did wo ox poct thoy would got tho food out of tho hair unless thoy cleaned It out onco In a whllo nnd Just thon Indiana snlckcrod nnd when wo asked him whnt it was about ho said they comb ed beards to got othor things than food out of them and Ed asked what and just as ho was going to toll wo told of tho man wo know who had n beard and his wlfo used to pull it when sho would get mnd nt him and wo said wo woro glad wo didn't havo a board and Ed said ho was too. But Indiana laughed-at us and said If we would stand up to our wives thoy wouldn't daro to pull our beards. Ed said that would bo n good thing for tia to try and wo said "Try It yourself," At that Ed got mad and then wo got mnd and Ed stnrtod aftor us ns If ho would pull our whiskers If wo had any and we got out of thoro pretty quick.
