Thomas Capelis. "A clerk at IS Dorrance
street, has always had strong desire to
own horse. and he came into the square
yesterday and made the fact known 10
friend. who. by the way. has charge OF
a department OF ]. o. San Souci & Co.
This manager had with him a number
OF "drummers,' and a wink from the
/ manager to the drummer was sufficient.
The manager informed Mr.. Capelis that
/ ne had at his home some tickets for
raffle for a handsome chestnut horse. one
| that was gentle, stand without htching
/ and, I'm fact, combined all the qualities
OF horse except that he was not very
fast.
Mr.. Capelis did not care 10 own fast
horse, but just an ordinary one. The
manager, to all intents and purposes,
went home, and soon returned with
! bunch OF numbers and told Mr. Capelis
! 10 draw one, which he did, the number
being "a After the drawing the party
broke up, Mr. Capelis going down town,
| and the manager was TO attend 10 the
darwing. which was billed 10 come or
at O'Clock.
At $3.50 o'clock Mr. Capelis was Informed
| by telephone that q was the lucky num-
ber and that the horse would be deliver
cd 10 him about o'clock.
The manager got all of his friends to-
| gether and Mr. Capels got his, for he
intended to do what he thought was prop
| er so long as he had won the horse.
The party numbered about %, and then
the manager took from a large box a
child's toy horse. Mr. Capelis did not
know whether to get mad or not but
| looking into the eyes OF the party, came
! 10 the conclusion that to get mad wouli
| be extremely unwise. So the exercises
we're carried out, as Mr.. Capelis had ar
ranged but says he will get even with
the Olncyville joker soon r or later.
ARE EXPERTS.
\ II ~ somewhat amusing 10 some. and
these some" do not by any means In
clude those who pay taxes on real es-
tate. 10 watch the men who are engaged
I'm keeping the square clean, for they are
certainly experts i'm their line.
They will dig up a lot Of hard Ice one
| day, and the next somewhere else ana IN
| a few days the snow that has been broken
UP will be frozen solid again, and VIII
need TO be broken again.
The taxpayers think that these men
should be sent TO portions or the city
that seem to have been forgotten and
II they do nothing else, open mp the catch
basins and put the crosswalks In proper
| condition.
