He LOST His CoAT-A few days since a Canton
man stopped at the City Hotel, and checking his
valise and overcoat, went out for a walk. He re.
turned late and asking for his coat and valise
sgnfed his iatention of retiring The valise was
handed him but the coat was not there, Search
was instituted through all the hooks of the office
but no coat was found. It was evidently stolen
That young man then got up on his ear and de-
manded that the landlord should make restitu.
tion in the sum of sixty dollars. Now, mine host
though very nice man, Is little obtuse in such
matters, and argument failed to convince him
that he ought to pay out so much money on so
little proof. The young man insisted he would
say nothing about the premiums and things
which were in his pockets and he finally retired,
promising to push things In the morning, He
was astir at six o'clock and down in the Office la
boring with the porter, when boarder came
down stairs with coat on his arm and check
hanging thereto. Whose old coat is this which
took to my room last night thinking it be-
longed to me? said the man as he slammed the
garment on the counter, That's my coat cried
the Canton man as he made rush for it and
dived into the pockets to see If the premiums
and things" were all SAFE But what the blazes
are you laughing al?" he said to the porter who
was rolling about the Office floor in convusions,
Sixty dollars for that coat gasped the porter as
soon as he could catch his breath. "Six-oh
Lord" sixty dollars? why, 1 wouldn't trade
mine for it, and bought it at d-hand
store for four dollars" II guess I'll pay my BILL -
said the proprietor of the overcoat. "No, don't
care for any breakfast as 1 want to catch the
early train," and he flung his sixty dollar coat
over his shoulder, picked up his valise, and with
out further ado made himself scarce Cleveland

Last Sunday was dreary day the breaking Of
the dawn saw consumptive patches of snow upon
the ground, and at intervals during the day small
fakes fell slowly and hesllatlngly. The mind of
the young man of the Repository was III at ease
and darkened like the sky ON this dull day, and
after series of sorrowful and serious day dreams,
he rushed to his room, dropped onto rush bot
tom chair and spasmodcally grasped pen. 1t
was inspiration that had so suddenly seized upon
his versatile mind, genuine and pure inspiration;
inspiration such as In other days moved Dante
and Goethe and handed down to us the perfection
and purity of master thought and symmetrical
rhythm. Thala what was the matter with the
young man, He toyed with the pen in his fin
gers with an absence of mind to all terrestrial
things, seeming to feel the presence of the muse
when suddenly light oeTspread his features,
and with Simultaneous start he kicked the coal
scuttle over and Piled his pen with poetical
frenzy which might have resulted in some grand
production had not cruel voice came floating
up the stairway gently signing "Dinner| This
was too much the inspiring muse vanished at
once, utterly refusing to materialize; but one
brief line had fallen from his pen and as he
gazed sorrowfully upon 1t he felt that his eager.
ness had been in vain. That one brief line will
be framed with golden and russet autumn leaves
and be placed in his sanctum there to remain
till the chirpng birds Of spring return, and dur
ing the long, dull winter days, he will often
glance upward at the only result Of his inspira-
ton and find Solace in the line;

the Fulton Signal but the Signal is mistaken. We

the people something to talk about and the press
