"who Stole Browns Steps ?"
A standing joke this morning is, "Who
stole Browns steps?" James Brown, liv-
ing at the corner of Lonsdale avenue and
ing to have his front steps painted. Ac-
cordingly he took them to Bloomfield's g
paint shop late Saturday night and left
them there. Officer Stafford, going his
rounds, noticed that the steps had disap-
peared, and searched all over "Weeden's
Worry" for them, thinking that someone
had hidden them. When Officer Coombs
came on Sunday morning he found the
steps gone and took measures to locate
them. Councilman Carlin happening along
early in the morning saw that the steps
were not in their accustomed place and
notified Mr.. Brown. In fact, no less than
a dozen or fifteen people rung Mr.. Browns
doorbell and told him that he had lost his
front door steps. To avoid further uneasi-
ness on behalf of his friends, Mr.. Brown
has hung out a sign which reads as fol-
lows "Not lost or stolen, but gone to
Bloomfields paint shop to be renovated" 1"
