A STOLEN COAT.
A Niger Is Arrested this Morning
by officer Abbey.

The scene is laid In an office over
Rische's cigar store, and the play Of OPP
portunity makes the thief, is enacted.
This niger was cold, hungry and des-
perate. The opportunity came, 1t was
an office door wide open, no one inside,
and n good overcoat was hanging on q
peg within easy reach Of this hungry
niger, Sam Moore. One look to the
right and another to the left, no one is
about, and with stealthy step Sam en-
tiers, seizes the coat and creeps quickly
down stairs, hugging his booty. Quickly
the Niger proceeds to a neighbor-
ing pawnshop, Mr.. Guergin's, who
advances Sam a small amount up
on the garment. This Is on the oath
OF January, and the negro disappears.
Mr.. j. NJ. Taylor, whose property the
coat is, returns to his office and finds, to
his dismay, the coat absent from its ac-
customed hook. "Who could have taken
it?" Ia his muttered exclamation. No
trace Of it can be discovered. Mr.. Tay-
lor informs the police, who, after some
investigation, discover the coat, but the
thief has left no clue. This morning,
however, Officer Abbey found the thief
and conveyed him to jail.

note this and furthermore that dit

that the only purely vegetable prep.
aration of this kind, and one that ID
IN every way harmless, prompt and
effective, is Red Star Cough Cure
