When the maximum is past, as at
present, and the minimum perhaps four
or five years distant, decrease in size
or number, or a decrease in both, is the
usual course. Occasionally, however,
the growing calmness is dissipated by

Carleton C. Crane of the New York

him with an electric piano for his new

L. F. Stanton of the Chicago, Mil

loss of large and phenomenally
handsome dress suit case. This case
was left by him on the local from
Sacramento and he is extremely desir-
Gus of finding the man who took it.
He has offered a large reward for It's
return and is considering the advis-
ability of raising the amount Stan
ton promises on his part never to
divulge the name Of the thief.
He has one clew. The man who took
his grip must be at least feet inches
in height. weigh about 220 pounds, have
small hands and small feet. Otherwise
the contents of the case could be of no
value to the thief. Stanton is not the
only railroad man who has complained
of the depredations of sneak thieves
on the trains. Overcoats and grips dis
appear from almost beneath the eyes of
their possessors.
