T.. Alexander John.tone is Partic'


Paul Alexander tombstone, who SO
mystifled those attending his recent exhi-
billions in Rock Island, was obliged to
appear before a Monticello audience last
week without his dress suit. His vslises
had been checked at Cedar Rapids, but
strayed over TO Oxford Junction. where
they remained out ell night in the rain
and the contents were in no condition for
use when he received them. The Men
ticello Express says ION account of this
blunder, which deprived him of his claw
hammer coat during the evenings per-
Torrance, much to the distress
of & his mind. The pale faced
mind reader has lodged a claim
against the c., NJ. s st. P. R'y company
for 90. 500. In his letter to the company
he said that his is such sensitive organ
ism that unless he operates in the dress
suit, which he is accustomed to wearing.
he must necessarily overtax himself. He
says that the embarrassment of appear
ing before his Monticello audience was,so
intense and realistic that he would not
again go through the tortures of that eve
ming, incident upon the loss of his bag
gage. for So. 600. The company has not
yet paid P. Alexander .Johnstones mod
est demands. But he probably knows
whether its officers have it in mind to do
so. 1t doesn't require q mind-reader to
guess at that"
