THE OLD CLOTHES MYSTERY
Police Department Baffled by Strange Discovery in Freight Car This Morning.

The detective bureau of the local police department has deep. dark and dank mystery, a case which baf- fies solution. It is one which Detec- tive Sergeant Matthias Rival has tried In vain to fathom. It might be called in detective thrillers, ''The Mystery or the Old Clothes"
 It all started this morning about s:30 o'clock when George Green or the American Hardware corporation telephoned Lieutenant Samuel Bam- forth that there was a suit of clothes In a freight car on Washington street.
 Sergeant Rival conducted an ln- vestigation, only to learn that the mystery had deepened. Instead of one suit, he found two suits. Both suits were old and bore signs of having been discarded for good and sufficient reasons.
 But no sign was found of the own CTS of the discarded clothing. whether two tramps played stick-up men and relieved some embarrassed citizens oi their wearing apparel, or the owners of the clothing were murdered py some mysterious masked organization or whether the suits represented q bootlegger's disguise, no one seems to know. In the meantime the plot thickens.

It just went to show what cat can do. A year ago he didn't even have a name and his meals were coming in late. Taking up the slack whick hung on his ribs he limped into the kitchen of Joseph Frascona over on the East side where charity works both ways, and with one curl of his moustache won the hearts Of the kids, Joseph, Jr., and Antoinette. They fed him and loved him and when they found they could enter him in a cat show for $1 they named him Snooser Boy, dropped perfume in his bath. bought an orange bow to go around his neck, built a crude cage and took him to the Waldorf Astoria. The children had the $1 and the show had to take in Snooser Boy
 He was placed between two high. toned cats who turned up their noses at his artificial fragrance but who
