CAPT. HENRY EELLETT,

| On another occasion q large fishing
smack, with but one sail set and with no
one IN sight on deck, YVES found driftingin
the lower bay. The police boarded the
craft and found that the crew, who were
also part owners of the smack, had been
celebrating very successful catch of fish
by getting royalty drunk, and were all ~
ing on the cabin floor in dense stupor.
As they could not awaken TIE inebriates,
tho police lowered the sail, dropped the
anchor, put the signal lights in place and
then induced the skipper of vessel near
by to keep q friendly eye upon the smack
until morning While the water police,
on account of the dying out Of tho river
thieves do but little in the chase and capt

benefit suppTassing nlutimes, extinguish-
ing fires and recovering lost property. In
regard to the last, they annually recover
property whose value is much more than
the entire expense of the service.
One of the best known faces around po-
lice headquarters is that Of Inspector Pat

duties of inspector, he adds those of peda-

The task is not grateful one, although il
is relieved at times by giinpses of huInor.
Some Of these deserve 10 be recorded

then, with all eeleI2nity, answered:

A Beautiful Girl Who Preferred Death
to Life.
Why did Jennie Benson kill herself?
That is question but one person in Rome
City, Ind, can answer and he has not
word to say. Noquestionable motive closes
his lips. 1t is the silence OF an honorable
man to whom an unhappy girl told a
secret. She loved him. He asked her to
be his wife. She refused, but acknewledg-
ed her affection, and in confidence gave him
the reason for her negative to his proposal.

as the prospective brides caught sight
ofthe priest their little autt~r,ng hearts
