Show Sterlinc' 8tocker Kecovers Roll of r Bills After Losing Them in Street Fred Myers Up for Special Men- JV ' Pageing Mr. Diogenes! "' ; ' Bingham Canyon has - an honest , man. Yep, and now the old man who - . . searches the countryside with his lan-' lan-' . L ,'tern for an honest man can throw his ; flashlight away, for all he has to do Is come to our camp, and the honest ' man will be turned over to him. Space, forbids us elaborating on the - , circumstances leading to the locating . of a playmate for Mr. Diogenes, but it happened like this- ' Sterling Stocker, who resides on , - - Lower Main Street, had received his check on the 25th of last month, and v " after cashing same, had tucked a few ' bills, to the amount of $60.00 in the watch pocket of his trousers. , , Arriving home, Sterling proceeded to tell his family about the $60, when lo and behold, they were gone. "No ' use advertising for them," argued Sterling," as the guy who finds the roll will be about as talkative as an i oyster." i - Now let us leave Sterling to mourn ' his loss, and look upon the home life of our hero, Fred Meyers. Fred, be i , it known, found the roll of bills on j - his way home on the 25th, but not . '. knowing who owned them, decided to ! .. keep mum until he heard the ravings , of the loser, and - on Thanksgiving night, he chanced to - hear Sterling V ' mention that he was now $60 poorer 'f. than he was once, as he had lost that ;; sum. ' "How did you happen to lose it," asked Fred. "Well, it slipped out of ' , my pocket," answered the unfortunate ' , Sterling. "Was it in bills?" contin- L ued Fred. "Yes," came back Sterling. f "There was two twenties and . two tens." ; "Well, well," quoth Fred", "so you are the guy who lost it,", and v . , . thereupon he handed over the $60 to "p - -Stocked ' Not af reward would Mr. Meyers i ' take, stating that he figured every r man should allow his conscience to k ' tell him what is right and wrong, and that no one should expect remunera-' remunera-' . tion .for doing. the right thing. We still insist that Mr. Diogenes j. should be notified ,and that it should be done at once. Hurrah for Bing-s Bing-s ham Canyon, the home of honest people. |
