It was at the Dewey restaurant, Ninth
street near Vine, that Doctor How was
found today taking a late breakfast. He
at" 10 cents' worth, The breakfast was
oatmeal and milk, two soft-boiled eggs,
l-'it'nch fried potatoes, coffee and rolls.
"Very nourishing and cmlte cheap If
one takes in consideration, however, that
n man can afford ten cents for a broal;-

lips with a handkeichief. The wnlter
had forgotten to furnish a napkin.

"The boys hive sort of drifted ar.ay

A friend of Doctor How, who was

' not to bo dlscoiiiagtd. lie was of the
i opinion that "Tony" niddlc had only two

"I want the newspapers to help finding

"Now you peo n man offers a position to
