One morning several years ago, Just as the

that they had business OF importance on
hand. Suddenly man appeared at one OF
the windows, took in the situation at glance

and the Off ,ials below him. Some of the OH
GERS, knowing the desperate character of the
man, proposed TO shoot hun until he was

GERS would ass st him 30 dsceud he would cap

the dtliCult and dangerous task, and sue
ceeded in bringing his prisoner TO the ground
in safety.
The man who accomplished this task was
Mr.. Thomas Curtin, the present superintend-
ent of the city police of Buffalo, N Y. Mr.
| Curtin is n mau who is known by every
! prominent detective and policeman in
! America, and he stands prominently in the
! front OF his profession. Quiet and gentle

seSses courage, combined with marked ply

! evil-doers and the pride of law-abiding citi-
2ens. Few people can realize, however, the
trials exposures, and even privations, to
which the members Of every municipal police
and fire department are exposed. Compelled

TO the most inclement weather. and often
uecessitated by the nature of their duties to
protractad undertakings, they endure a ner-
Vous and physical strain that is terrible.
Such was the experience of Mr.. Curtin in for
mer days; and it is not surprising that he
found himself suffering from a mysterious
physical trouble. In relating his experience
to a representative of this paper he said;
CAT times when was on duty would feel

my head seemed dull and heavy. did not
