0arenimo,s Solvents CssA

Abraham Jefferson, a negro, was
held to the grand jury recently on O
charge OF larceny, says the Kansas City
Journal. The namesake of Abraham
and jefferson is charged with having
stolen from Fred Harvey, the railway
restaurant man. a c~uriously made
buckskin coat. which was formerly a
possession of the bloodthirsty Apache
chief, Geronimo. The coat, which was
exhibited in court. Is an interesting
specimen of Indian handiwork, and a
striking commentary on the character
Of old Geronimo. It Is festooned with
forty or fifty long tufts of hair, which
are believed to have been taken from
the heads of the many white women
whom the old chief had killed. Ger
enimo must have had a particular dis
like for women with dark brown hair,
or a penchant for that kind of deeora-
ton for his coat, for, with n excep-
ton, all the hair is of that color. The
exception Is q very light brown, which
might at one time have been red. All
the hair is long. It Is attached in hit
or-miss fashion to all parts Of the
coats exterior, and hangs down the
back 60 thick as to almost conceal the
highly colored Painted figures which
constitute the rest Of its Ornamental
ton. AS a curio the coat was worth
about $500.

The first man in England to keep O

named Tobias Hobson.
His methods of doing business were
strictly impartial. He strongly OBJ

vantage over another. In accordance
with his peculiar of justice,
therefore, his stable rules were such
that when q man came to hire a horse
he was obliged to take the one nearest
the door, and naturally the style Of

chance.
This unusual procedure attracted at
