        John Current who lost $200
recently recovered same last Mon-
day evening.  Mr. Current car-
ried the money in a little side
pocket of his trousers. He did
not know that he had it lost until
a week or so after.  As soon as
he discovered his loss he adver-
tised it and also had a large card
made.  When he attempted to
place the card in some suitable
place he came across John Bair
and asked him where he should
place the big card.
        "Let me read teh card first"
said Mr. Bair.  When he had
read it he said, "Tear it up."
        "I might as well," said Current,
"for I shall never find it."
        "O yes you will find it," re-
joined Mr. Bair in such a confi-
dent tone, so that Mr. Current 
was going to put up a bet, but
Mr. Bair waived this procedure.
        "Your money is found" said
Mr. Bair "and you can get same
tomorrow morning in the bank."
        Imangine the astonishment of
Mr. Current who could hardly
believe the words and yet he
knew John was honest.
        The money had been found in
the alley between the Grove
House and the Meat market over
a week ago by Noah Bair. He
picked up the three bills, one of
$100 and two of $50 denomina-
tions and brought them to his
brother to find out whether it
was real money.  Thereupon
Noah Bair deposited the money
in the bank witing for word
from the looser.
