The Policeman's Life as 1t Is Suppos-
 ed to Be and as it Really Is-Ftfty
 Candidates for One Vacancy on the
 Force.
 The pathway of the average Water bury policeman is not strewn with roses More often it is a cabbage stump thrown by impious hands that greets the blue coated guardian of the piece as with measured step he wends his weary way. And yet there are fifty applications for one vacancy upon the force. The can didates are of all nations, in stature large and small, some of moderate means and others poor.
 All are thoroughly imbued with the idea that the life of a policeman is a dream of happiness. In fancy the can didate sees himself marching down South Main street dressed in a suit of spotless blue, with highly polished club dangling in negligee manner by his side. Everyone will bow to his au- thority and if called upon to quell a disturbance he will settle the difficulty | by one stern look. Politicians grasp his hand familiarly and strangers l in the city will consult him as to the lay out of the streets and the location of the best saloon. The buns and loafers flee | in terror at his command and the omni- present newspaper reporter will approach nm With awe ana respect.
 This is the same picture that always presents itself to every candidate for a position upon the police force. But how different is it from the reality. No one | bows to the policeman's authority; he ] takes his life in his hands when he at tempts to disperse a bad gang; polit- icians plot for his removal if he performs his duty, and the reporters strike him for news on every possible occasion. He is liable to be laid out with rock thrown in the dark, without even having the | satisfaction of knowing who struck him. Altogether the pollceman's life cannot be said to be happy one.
 Of the fifty candidates for the vacant position on the force only two appear to have a pull with the commissioners. George L. Hastings and Ludger J. La vigne are the fortunate ones. Messrs | Goodrich and Martin are in favor of the former, while Commissioners Reilly and l Webster are supporting the latter. Mir l Lavlgne Is a Frenchman and there is no | reason why that race should not be rep | resented upon the force.

 iden, cut and bruised, probably inter

 notified of the accident and went to
 Quinnipiac on the special train. Every thing was confusion and excitement but
 he at once began an inquiry into the
 cause of the accident. He heard the
 statements of a few passengers, but found
 it advisable to defer the general hearing
 of the railroad men until to-day and de,
 voted his attention to the examination of rails and wrecked vehicles.

money to his wife when the door
bell was rung. The newly married
wife said she wanted a certificate
No marriage was good without one.

that would suit her. The reverend
gentleman filled the blank out in
the usual form, and she went away
seemingly satisfied.
A few days later she again ap-
peared at the door. "Mister," said
the woman, in an aggrieved tone
"I looked through the papers and
can't find a notice of our wedding
Yoy ought not to treat us different
from other folks" So the dominic
went to a newspaper office and paid

When he returned home he handed

Ain Amusing Turkish Story.

Many a culprit has been brought
to justice by faltering in his answer
to cleverly framed question. An
amusing story is told illustrating
this, of the Turkish Khojah, a kind
of typical scamp. He was stealing
turnips from garden, and had
filled sack with them, when up
rushed the owner. "What are you
doing?" exclaimed the angry pro-
prietor. "a violent gale of wind
caught me up, whi-led me through
the air and deposited me here"
said the unabashed KhOjah. "Well,
but how came you to be holding
some of my turnips?" "Why," said
Nasid-ed-din, "the wind was so
very violent that it tossed me about,
and, to steady myself, | grasped
these in my hand" "Good again."
said the owner, "but tell me now
who filled the sack?" "Ah," replied
the Kojah, 81 was just considering
how that question should be answer
ed when you came upon me so
rudely and unexpectedly"
