MISTAKE OF A NEW YORK POLICEMAN.

Sized Up Colston as a Hayseed and
fumes and Luhins as Bunco Stesrers.
A good joke is going the rounds of the
local newspaper men in which the veteran
Harry Colston, a trio of scribes well
known in local reportorial circles and a
New York policeman figure as the prin-
cipal characters.
That Harry Colston, who has grown
gray in local reportorial service. who,
representing the New York Tribune, in
terviewed such celebrities as Daniel
Webster and others of renown in past
decades, should have been taken for a jay
from the wild and woolly" west, or a
hayseed from the south, is a joke in itself;
but that the trio of younger and we'll
dressed scribes should come within an
ace of being run in' as a gang of bunco
s~teerers by a blooming member of the
Metropolitan Police force adds consider
able interest to the joke.
The story is a true one.
The trio were standing on a corner in
Park Row. They had met accidentally.
Going to do anything" asked Humes OF
Van Lukins by way Of salutation. No;
Colston. Let's brace him, just for fun,"
said Lukins.
Along came Harry, his flowing white
beard parted in the middle and the tips
whisking over his shoulders in the
breeze he created in his hurry to reach
several offices with copy. His SLOUGH hat
was pulled well down over his dome-like
forehead.
Get out. get out!' he said, brandishing
his cane about the legs of the trio of
braces who bounced upon him.
AT this juncture a new actor appeared
upon the scene. He wore blue clothes
and brass buttons. A suspicious shrewd-
ness lurked about his eyes as he stood for
a moment sizing up what he considered a
brace of bunco ~steerers and a country
jay. Then he started to take a hand. He
placed them all under ARREST. Explana-
lions were in order. and by the time Harry
got through with his lingual drubbing of
the policeman for sizing him up as a hay
seed, his nibbs of the force had about all
he could do to keep the crowds moving"
Harry delivered his copy on time, and,
returning, invited the trio to the nearest
corner
