ing a saddle stolen from him month or
two ago. A black man rode into the city
on horseback, when Mr.. Plat happened to
notice that the saddle belonged to him.
The saddle had been borrowed by the black

IT PAYs.-One day last week Mr.. Smyth
lost a pony. The next day he advertised
him in the STATESMAN and the pony was
returned to him before dark. Men who do
not believe in advertising would have ne
elected their business and worn themselves
out riding a hired horse over. the prairies
in hunting the pony had they lost it,
but Mr. Smyth lost no valuable time, but
got his pony by investing one dollar in an
advertisement.
