Petit Larcenists
Have a New Graft
"My liltje boy Just bought this medicine
hero and the doctor says net to use It.
He gave us soma of his own and I'd like
to have my money back."
A woman holding in her hand a bottle,
of a standard patent medicine was ad
dressing a clerk at the UnltUDocekal
Drug company.
"How long ago?" queried the clerk.
"About two hours," responded the
woman.
.lit didn't buy it here as I have been
the only one on duty and I sold no alien
medicine to a little boy." declared tha
clerk. ,
"But h did." asserted tha woman, "I
know he did."
How much did he pay for It?' asked
tho clerk
"Forty cents." aald the woman.
Not In this store," grinned the clerk,
"as It only coats 32 cents. Try it aome
place else. You're about tha sixth one
that has pulled that gag here."
Whereupon tho woman beat a nasty re
treat. That panhandlers and petit larcenists
are selling stolen patent medicines at
various drug stores and where they can't
sell it outright are trying the bbove
method is information received by the
police. Where they get the medicine Is
a mystery as drug stores are not missing
it from their stock. One man tried to
sell the Cleveland Drug company several
dollars worth of standard patent medi
cines at a ridiculously low price. The
police are investigating and expect to
stop the newest graft shortly.
