THE TALE OF A COAT. Two business
men of this city occupy a Store:jointly. One
is all long and no wide and the other is all
wide and no long. The latter went to Bos-
ton last week and when it came time to go
| to the wharf to take the boat he began to
put on his CD overcoat. 1t went on hard and
his store mate, who gave him a helping
hand, noticed that it was very snug fit.
When the one left at home went to put on
his (?) overcoat he found it surprisingly
large around, while the sleeves only reach
ed about half way between his elbows and
wrists. In fact it fitted like shirt on a
handspike. 1t then dawned upon him that
his overcoat had gone to Boston and that
he had helped the tourist to get it on. But
for the fact that the Sturgis law was on
there would be grave suspicious concerning
this affair, and explanations from the Bos
ton visitor will be demanded by his many
friends when he returns. Meanwhile a
short man is wearing a tall mans overcoat
around Boston, and is liable to be regarded
by the police of that city as a suspicious
character.
