TIE OLD POLICEMAN.

le Knew How to Use Electrically - Q
Means Of Personal Comfort.
Policemen may be an illiterate lot.
ont they do every now and then con-
frive some method to get ahead Of the
lronclad rules which are popularity sup
posed by the long suffering taxpayer at
least to govern their movements.
There is one particular bluecoat who,
by virtue of his long service, carries
three faded stripes ON his coat sleeve,
and he honestly believes that he is en-
Titled to some incidental favors. Taken
altogether, he is of such o naturally
grumpy disposition that he is far from
being popular among the police opera
tors.
Notwithstanding all this, Mr.. Brass
Buttons beat the combination and beat
it pretty thoroughly. He had been rath-
er behind time in his hourly communi-
cations with headquarters, and his su-
periors determined to teach him a les
son Accordingly he was sent to travel
Q lonely, isolated post, which had a SOL
itary patrol box situated just alongside
q deserted hut that had onc been util-
lied as q Toulouse by q railroad cor
p~oration. 1t didn't require many hours
presence on the part Of the disciplined
copper for him to discover that he had
been given the best Of the deal in this
particular transfer. and he Immediately
set about arranging q scheme whereby
he could benefit by his newly acquired
advantages.
The much crnved boon that he sought
was light maps. He had long ago tried
the plan of an alarm clock set to 60 of
o few minutes before pulling time, but
tired nature had in each instance as
serted itself, and his station had failed
to hear from him. Now conditions were
different, for he had found just what
he needed to carry out the clever ruse he
had concocted. Running alongside the
deserted shanty were two electric light
wires fully charged with q current Of
electricity, and to these the valiant
watchdog pinned his faith.
First he once more produced his long
ago discarded alarm clock after remov.
ing the gong from the top. Next he
broke away the glass face, aud after
making sure that the clock was on time
with his watch he made q connection
with the electric light wires by means
of two small pieces OF copper wire. One
of these he wound around the minute
hand of the clock, and the other he firm
ly fastened to the framework Of the
timepiece just over tho figures that in
Dictated his hour for pulling up. Then
to one Of the wires he. fastened two
more pieces of copper, which he wound
about either of his hands. This done,
the Willy policeman stretched himself
out Oh the floor and enjoyed the desired
nap, safe i'll the knowledge that at the
proper moment the meeting of the two
wires on th9 clock would convey to him
q shock that was hound to waken him,
so he could salute his station through
the natrol box. -Chicago Times.

The Poet OF the sierras Don't Like the
Dole Government.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-Joaquin
Miller arrived Wednesday from Ha-
waii. The poet left Honolulu suddenly,
with no baggage. His intended de-
parture was kept secret, as he says he
was afraid the officers Of the govern
would put him in prison. Miller
denounced the treatment accorded the
political prisoners as barbarous in the
extreme. He predicts that a filibuster-
ing expedition will be organized to go to
and rescue the political pris-
oners. When asked if he was done
with Hawaii, the poet said:
IL am going to wait to see who goes
down there to hbcrate those men. If
their captors do not liberate them and
return the lands appropriated from the
and the queen under the name
crown lands, I shall 60 to Japan. I
think l shall only have to state the case
and promise political rights to the OPP
pressed 10000 contract slaves of Japan
down there, to get an ironclad."

offer better conditions than she profesz-
es to make. In the first place, we do
not believe Spain wants to give Cuba
autonomy. She only wants to deceive
US, as in 1858. We want absolute inde-

Electric Rittors.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more sener-
ally needed in Spring, when the languid
exeausted feeling prevails, when liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and alternate is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti

ters. Only fifty cents per bottle at

ships on the Great Lakes.
DETROIT, Nov, S.-Mayor Pingree last
night sent long communication to the
council, favoring the abrogatIon of that
portion of the treaty between Great
Britain and the United States, which
prevents building warships on the Great
Lakes. The document is more gingery
than the average paper, and in it his
honor rehearsed the story of Perry s. VIC
tory and his history of more recent war
like episodes on the lakes.
Proper resolutions were offered and
the message was adopted as the sense of
the Detroit common council.
