But One Omcer on the Beat That
Should Have Two.
The residents in the locality where Po-
liceman Greer was so nearly killed last
night state that Minor. the negro who re-
sisted arrest, has before this oeen an Of
fender against the peace and order of the
neighborhood. and that he was last year
arrested for acting III the same dsorderly
way. What probably aggravated the af-
fair last night was the fact that last week
the son of Minor was arrested by Officer
Greer for stealing a watch. and he and his
father. 1t Is said, wanted a chance to get
revenge. There were at one time over q
hundred negroes pushing and fighting in
the melee. One of the young men who
came to Greers assistance tried to get the
key to the patrol box out of the officer
pocket and was knocked down by a negro
The officer made a fair fight. the spec.a-
tors say. never trying to draw his revolver,
and only at the last being able to use his
club with any effect.
A Murderous Kick.
Toward the end of the fracas a stout
young negro of medium height got a
chance and kicked Greer as hard as he
could in the abdomen. Then the negro ran
away as fast as his legs would carry him.
IF Greer dies" said one Of the srecta-
tors. that was the work that finished him.
1t was a most wicked piece of business.
and done when the officer was down and
in such position that he could not pro-

There Is one thing wrong about cur po-
lice protection up there" said this resi-
dent. That region is one of the toughest
In the city. and there is but one cfficer on
the beat. When he is attacked ne has no
one to help him, and he is at the mercy Of
the mob of negroes that can swarm out Of
the stores in the vicinity at moments
warning. There should be two men on that
beat, and then the patrol can be called or
an alarm sent in to headquarters. If Greer
dies 1t will be due primarily to his being
put on a tough beat alone"

PRESTON.

You can scarcely pick up newspaper
without seeing one or more jokes about
the much abused mother in-law." 1t
is a mystery which no one has yet solved,
why so many sad jokes are being perpe-
trated about a mans mother-in-law.
What dreadful crime has the unfortu-
nate woman committed in providing the
man with his wife that he should bear
such an undying grudge against her ?
Now il it was a woman's mother-in-law
who was made the butt of these jokes,
there might be grain OF sense in them,
for it is the mans mother who has it in
her power to make life burden to the
young wife and not half try. As mat
ter of fact, a woman is usually proud and
fond of her son-in-law if he only giv8
her the ghost of chance. When the
young couple first 60 to housekeeping
who is it that comes in and with her
good sense and practical experience tides
them over the rough places? A mans
IlOiHSI-lu-ldW' ~ 10 lliO NOhioh o liONh-
in-law who is most apt to criticise al d
who exasperates the young wife by quot
ing, all too frequently: "My son is usC d
to having things thus and So" "NIy son
must have this or that for his meals"
"My son, with his small income should
have married prudent, economical
woman" etc. When the first baby
makes its appearance, as well as the sue
cessive ones, who is it that steps in and
relieves the husband OF his weary vigils
and takes the load OF care and worry off
the wife's feeble shoulders and keeps
the household machinery running
smoothly? The mans mother-in-law.
When he and his wife plan to take lit
tie trip together, who is it that comes in
and takes charge Of the house and the
children, so they can peacefully enjoy
their holiday with the restful thought,
Mother is there and it will be all right
The mans mother-in-law. When there
is sickness or trouble in the family this
same malignant person proves to be the
faithful nurse, wise counselor and sym
pathizing friend. And if, in the course
of events, the wife dies, who is it that
usually comes in and takes care of the
children and keeps up the home till the
bereaved husband has time to look
around and find another wife? A mans
mother-in-law. And how does he re-
ward her for all this devotion? By ma
king heartless jokes at her expense and
publishing them for other men to snick-
er over. Ingratitude, thy name is man.
