People in the vicinity of Broadway
and 43d street this noon were perplex-
ed when they saw a well-dressed man,
weighing about $50 pounds, wearing
an expensive fur overcoat on his hands
and knees in the middle of the uptown
car track.
Patrolman Patrick Mcdonald ell
bowed his way through the crowd and
grabbing the man by the shoulder, ask
ed what was the matter With him. The
man got up and, pointing to his mouth,
muttered a semi-inteligible manner
that he had lost his false teeth. He
said he believed they were lost in the
slot of the car track. Search by 90
hcemen, chauffeurs, bystanders, motor
men and conductors failed to reveal
the missing piece, and with great dis
gust the unknown man hailed a pass
ing taxi. His breadth being bigger
than the entrance of the taxi, he final
ly secured a large limousine and de-
parted, giving instructions to drive
anywhere north.-N. Y. Eve. World,
