wrote a newspaper man IN the autograph
album of John W. Coffey, the skeleton dude.

amiable Coffey's shadow ever did grow less
there would be nothing of him. Think of q

rather Frenchy imperial, and body and
legs SO attenuated that they are Tout Of

famous thin man in history. All told he
weighs fifty pounds and that only when he
has drawn a full breath. The doctors call
his case one OF 'locom0tor atsxia'' and pro-
nounce 1t the most curious i'll the annals of
medical science. He is 10 pe at the st. Paul
museum this week. and he tells his visitors
IN the most entertaining fashion how it all
happened. So charming are his ways that
many girl has forgotten his atrOciously
Ih1n legs. in her admiration for his per
sonality. For the rest of the show there is
much to interest, a special re-engagement

Brothers, being noteworthy.
