Dignam Wants His Coat

The San Francisco citizen who won

overcoat with two buttons missing and
hole in the left hand pocket the
gratuity of ]. B. Dignam, at that time
editor of the Dignam's magazine, Rich
mond, Ind. would do well to return
the garment. Dignam needs il now
more than any one in the world. ae-
cording to his own story, and he has
uttered pathetic appeal in an effort to
recover his contribution to the relief
of San Francisco's distressed.
Writing on December %, from room

Dignam said
Editor The Call. San Francisco. Calf.
Dear Sir During the recent up
hieayal in your city q refer to the Sc
coat to citizen of your town and he
has failed to return it to me. Now,
with the wind blowing. 40 mile gale
bobbing around the zero mark, 1 find
myself very much in need of it. With
this climatic condition in .force and
several months of it staring me in the
face, am beginning to grow a little
anxious.
In common with other residents of
the city of Richmond, Ind, where L
resided at the time in question, l tried
to do my share toward relieving the
unenviable position that a large num-
Der of your citizens found themselves
In after the big fire had done its hest
and I loaned the only overcoat that the
house of Dignam was in possession of
to some unknown citizen of San Fran
cisco.
In order that there be no misunder
standing regarding the nature of the
transaction, / wrote the following on a
slip or paper which | attached with a
overcoat:
To you my friend this coat loan
To have and hold 1t for your own
Until such time as you can see
The dawn of new prosperity.
To him-Eho plugs, success is sure
No longer need the poor stay poor
Roll up your sleeves; you not lose,
Work like the devil and cut out booze
Then when you have got your start anew,
And life looks pretty good to you,
Send back my coat; don't how,
l shall need it than you do now
At the bottom of this added. u. B.

Notwithstanding the standard of lit
erary merit that the state of Indiana
is famous for they were. unable to
appreciate Dignam's magazine, and the
last | saw of it was, it was going
south with two paper mills, a printer
and landlord about days march
behind.
I regret that it has become neces-
sary for me to make this lengthy ex-
planation to you. but / feel that it
may encourage you to make a greater
effort to put me in possession of my
coat than you otherwise would do
OF course, If the gentleman who got
this coat can prove that he needs it
