Mourned His Seven Cents.

There is q story running about
Cleveland of man who lost his pock
etbook containing over thousand
dollars. When he discovered his loss
he hurried back to the place where he
had stood while removing bill from
the wallet, thinking he might have
dropped it there. And as he rounded
the corner and came In sight Of the
spot he saw q newsboy stoop over and
lift the heavy purse out Of the gutter.
That's mine," he cried, running
up, that's mine! Look at the ini
tials, boy-they're stamped in the
leather. x. Y. z. Dye find them
there?"
Guess it's yours all right" said
the boy, handing it over.
The man gave the boy dime. and
departed, and as he went he went
muttering: "A street car ticket would
have done just as we'll, just as we'll!
He hadn't looked in it-didn't know
what was in it! Out seven cents! Out
seven cents!"

to walk, 50 he called up cousin living

money to pay for . nights lodging.
The cousin told Mckinney to go to his
(the cousin's) home to spend the
night.
John started out and found house
which he thought was the right one.
He pounded on the door, but no one
answered. Then he tried q window.
He raised 1t and crawled through. He
was greeted by the shrill scream Of a
woman. who was standing on a bed.
John announced that she need not
scream. for it was hin" " "Him" didn't
mean much to Miss Lulu Long. She
continued her screaming. A brother
came running into the room with q

stretched far above his head. Hearing

rescue and the situation was soon
cleared.-Indianapolis News.
