PREPARING FOR a RAINY Day
Some fellow, more eonsiderate than
honest, while passing the corner of
Main and Water Streets, on Saturday
night, distracted a gum coat from
Harry Joseph's store, thinking, no
doubt, it would be handy thing to
have about the house on rainy day.
If the police, who arc on his track.
oVertake him. he will pro baby be set
to work indoors for a year or two, and
Will not need it.

apparatus for steering. consisting of a
standard or vertical iron rod, sur

those employed on railroad brakes.

works in the segment of large wheel

able seat, on which the steeTsman sits
and is enabled to make very short

iron at both ends in the form of U,

gentlemen Of experience in such mat
