ENJOYABLE CONCERT

GAVE LARGE AUDIENCE--
PLEASURE.
The large audience who heard the
concert at Wesleyan's auditorium

program w-a* largely If not entirely
made up from well-known com posi

SOME NEAR TROUBLE
FOUND BY A FRIEND WHO TAUGHT
THE LOSER A LESSON—GREEK
ACCUSED OF FINDING IT BY
OFFICER AND ARGU
MENT ENSUED.
As a sequel to the loss of five twenty-
dollar bills, which have since been recovS
ered, there wag considerable of an uproar
In a local Greek restaurant yesterday
morning when one of the employe* there*
In. a youthful minion of Prince George
whose tendereit years were spent in th^
shadow of the Acropolis, waa accused by
an officer of tho law of having found i
the money.
The officer waa merely trying to bluff
the young Greek, not ’knowing whether
or not he had found the goldbacks. He
figured that If the foreigner did have the
money, he would asare him Into giving
It up. But the boy did not know any
thing of th* loss of the hundred dollars,
and was consequently much surprised
when th* officer calmly told him that he
I “had to come across." nnd said a few
other things about spending long, sleep-
iless nights In dark, cold cells. The
more the Greek protested, the more ob
durate became the officer. Tho latter I
l» ramo convinced of the other’s guilt for
some reason or othor. but bop- *
rival of the proprietor of the place 4 who
vouched for hla employe’* character and
iveraclty. brought the matter to an end.
I While tne fun lasted, however, there
were a number or highly excited Greeks
in the eating bouse, who aald a wholo
lot of things tliat meant a whole lot
more. Fortunately, the officer did not
understand their tongue.
A complete vindication of the youthful
Greek, who had such an argument with
ithe officer, developed yesterday after
noon, when the money was restored to
its rightful owner by one of bis close
friends. It seems that a number of
young men were eating In the restaurant
and one of them, In taking something
from hla pockat, unknowingly dropped
ills ’Toll" on the flebr. Hla friend aw
It, picked It up. and resolved to teach
the other a lesson on carelessness that
he would never forget. Accordingly, he
did not mention having found the money
until yesterday afternoon. In the mean
time the supposed loser had ndvertt#hd
In Th* Telegraph and was much put out
because of the loss of the money. He Is
now thoroughly satisfied and declares
that h* will never again carry so much
money around In his pocket.
