COOTS WAS FOOLED.
The Clever Little Trick Played on a
Detroit Police Official.
From the Detroit Free Press


In the basement of police headquarters is
a room where the officers in charge of the
patrol wagon lounge about while waiting
for a signal. To while away the time
table and box of dominoes have been pro-
cured. Last evening Bob Schemansky,
Mike Kinney, Roundsman Shoemaker and
Pat Murnane were playing dominoes and
Ben Coots looking on Coots became so
deeply interested in the game, and so ex-
cited over the playing, that he soon drop
ped asleep.
''Now let us pay Coots off for that beastly
dream he had when he took gas TO have a
tooth pulled" said Schemansky.
'rm with YOU" said Murnane: "the
BLACKBOARD dreamed l was in Hades, warm
ing my feet by the fire aud yelling for more
coal.n
The plan was soon perfected. Reaching
up, Murnane turned out the gas. Then
the game, 10 all intents, went on as before.
The room was in pitch darkness, but the
dominoeS shuffled, each player drew five
one set and the play went on.
Double five; count ten"
give or nothing, Ell! That sends me to
the woodpie"
"Five-blank; give us ten"
Somebody pIrpOsely trod on Coots's toe,
and he awaked with a snort, rubbing his
eyes. The game went on.
Twelve, tray; give us fifteen"
Throw me bone there"
Fifteen and five; give us twenty"
"Why, boys" exclaimed Coots, ''are you
playing dominoes"
"Are we playing dominoes2 That's a
bright question to ask. Don't you see we
aref Deuce, tray give us FIVE"
II hear you but | can't see you"
Cant see usl Why, what's the matter?"
~ don't know, but its a fact, boys, can't
see anything at ALL"
Hes blind"
''Ye7, sir; he's blind"
'Hold on" said Murnane; 81 know what
to do l remember just such case in Ire
land. A lot of US young chaps were out
one cold night to the killing OF a landlord,
and after the festivities we went over to
the house of a widow named Clarity
One of the boys hadn't been in the warm
room more than five minutes VIXEN he was
struck blind as bat But in less than five
minutes the widow had him out of it and all
right. It's a lucky thing / remember the
affair. Here, Coots, lay yourself st aight
across the table; let your head hang over,
so that the blood will rush into it. There,
now, I'll pass my hands over your eyes like
this; seer
Coots was lifted before he had time to
object, bent over the table and Murnane
began making magnetic passes over his
eyes Schemansky reached up and slyly
lit the gas
"Oh, | begin to seel l begin to see!n
exclaimed the patrol driver
In a few moments it is needless to say,
Coots's sight had been restored to him, and
he warmly grasped the hands of all pres
emit in token of his sincere gratitude.

will simply transfer himself from one
department Of the government TO anoth-
er, he having faithfully served the state
four years as treasurer. He was born
in Perry county, Mo February 3,

institution, by the way, which rarely
fails to have a representative on the
democratic ticket in Missouri In the
early years of his history Mr.. Seibert
was a farmer and merchant IN Cape
Girardeau county, in which avocations
he became SO popular that in 1874 the
Cape Girardeau county democracy
made him sheriff and collector, and
there they liked him SO well that whei
the two Offices were separated he wa
given the c~ollectorship, which he helC
six years. In 1884 he received the
nomination for state treasurer.

A TALL ONE.

A ~twenty-eight- story Office building
is to be erected at Minneapolis by l..
5. Burlington, an architect OF that city,
who has obtained a patent on a method
of iron building construction which, If
practicable, threatens to revolutionize
the art of modern building. No wood
work will appear in the building ex.
cept doors and window sashes. When
finished no portion OF the construc-
tional iron will be visible. Contraction
and expsnsionaare. provided for under
the patents. Each office has its own
safe or series of safes built in the outer
wall and forming a part of their struc-
ture-whichs the architect claims, is a
feature never before used in build.
ing. Another important consideration
in the iron construction is the reduced
thickness of the walls, as those on the
exterior of the building do not in any
part exceed % inches, thereby giving
more light and air to the offices. The
building does not weigh one-half as
much as an ordinary masonry OF
the same size, and is much cheaper and
more quickly built. The building is
so by so feet on the ground, $50 feet to
the top of the glass lookout, and con-
ftains 72S large Offices, all of which are
outside rooms"
