A certain negro boy, 'on Satur
day night, walked into the e jre of
W C Coleman and rH for a
match. The proprietor wa3 busy
writing a letter and beside his sta
tionery which was lying on the
showcase, lay a dollar's worth of
postage stamps. He left his ma
terial and went for the requested
match, and when Coleman's back
was turned, the boy laid hia hand
upon the stamps, which stuck to
his fingers. Coleman did not dis
cover the theft until after the ne

man notified several business houses
to look out for some one to offer the
stamps for sale. A man offered
the stamps to Mr. Luther Shirey,
clerk at tfye St. Cloud, at a discount,
but when Mr. Shirey told him that
a warrant-was out for him for steal
ing the stamps from 'Coleman, the
negro lost no time in returning the
property to its rightful owner.
The man who returned the stamps
to Coleman was not the one who
stole them, as has been learned since
