FINDS LOST WATCH
Left In Suit of Clothes a Year
Ago.-Discovered BY Local
Tailor.

II pays TO have that old suit press
ed IN once in while. This is not
an advertisement for tailor but the
thought is brought TO mind by an in
cident that occurred the past week
in the shop Of Angelo the tailor.
A man brought In suit Of clothes
to be pressed. When the tailor got
ready 10 work on the suit he picked
IL up and noticed a heavy object IN
one Of the pockets. Reaching into
the pocket he withdrew a gold watch.
The tailor thought that the CUSTOM
or had forgotten to take the watch
from the pocket when handing over
the suit. When the customer return
ed he was asked If he had missed any
thing. To the surprise Of Mr.. Angelo
his customer said that he had not
missed anything or lost anything.
Customer Surprised
Then the tailor showed the man
the watch. II was the customers
turn to register surprise. He said
that he had 'lost" the watch year
ago and had supposed he would never
see IL again. IL developed that the
customer had taken the suit Oft al
most year before. put Il in closet
and had not worn il. He had looked
for the missing watch but not find
ing II had bought another timepicce.
II was when the old suit was brought
back into commission and the find
was made that he remembered that
the last time he had the watch was
the day he last wore the suit.
Many articles. given up for lost
come TO light during year when
clothes. temporarily Discarded. are
brought out Of the clothes closet.
