"Some folks have strange ideas as to
the duties of the police force, said the
desk sergeant.
"When was at the North Chicago
avenue station, for instance, remem-
Der a case. A lady rang me up one after
noon and said she wanted two police
men sent to her residence at once. She
lived ON Dearborn avenue, and when
she told me her name recognized it as
that of a well known business man. /
asked what the policemen were wanted
for.
"'They will be told when they get
here, said she.
"'But, madam, said I, I couldn't
send two policemen to your house with
out knowing what they were going for,
even if ! wanted to- It's against the
rules.
"She thought it was avery strange
rule, she said, which compelled her to
state her private business over tele-
phone, but she finally told me what the
trouble was She said she had been out
walking with her little dog, and that
two very suspicious looking men had
been watching her from the other side
of the street. She was sure they meant
to steal the dog, and she wanted them
locked up. When explained to her
that we couldn't arrest anybody on such
evidence, she gave few more opinions
about the police and rang off.
81 had a call something liko this
from a residence in Bellevue place.
This one came by phone, too, and was
from lady. She wanted the patrol
wagon sent to her house right away.
She declined to tell me at first what it
was wanted for, but when refused to
do anything until l knew something
further she said an ugly dog was hang
ing about her back steps, and that she
couldn't let her dogs out to play in the
yard, as this dog insisted on playing
with them and was not the kind of a
dog she wanted her dogs to associate
with. l told her that couldn't SEM
the patrol wagon on such an errand
but said I would have the dog taken to
the pound by the wagon on its way
there next day. She said she didn't
want the dog there overnight, and
suggested that perhaps he would go
away of his own accord when he saw
he was being snubbed. She hung up her
phone with bang, and as l learned
afterward reported me at headquarters. "

THlRTY-THREE FEET AT A BOUND.


The Tremendous Leap Made by Hungry
Wildcat After His Breakfast.
The wonderful power of wildcat i,
shown in its ability to leap long dis
tances. All of the cat tribe have i'm
mense power in their legs, and they
make up in the length of their spring
their inability to make continued
chase. African leopards in captivity
have been known to leap from the floor
of the cages and strike the top, 10 feet
above. Tigers make tremendous leaps
and strike down on their prey with
blow of their powerful paws as they
alight But the wildcat, for its size, is
probably the most wonderful jumper Of
all the felines.
A hunter who is we'll known for his
veracity recently told the following
story of an adventure which illustrates
this power:
II was hunting in the snow and came
across the track of wildcat, which l
followed for long distance Suddenly
the tracks came to an end in spot
where the animal had crouched. Hook
ed around to sec what had become of
the trail, and away head of me saw
bunch Of blood and feathers. From that
spot the track led on again off into a
swamp. The situation was susceptible
to but one explanation wildcat
had been hunting for his dinner and
had discovered pheasant wandering
about in the snow The cat crept as
close as he dared to the unsuspecting
bird and gathered himself into an ami
mated spiral spring, such as the cat
| tribe coil themselves into when prepar-
ing to spring, and releasing the trigger
shot into the air, landing on top Of the
victim before the bird, quick as pheas-
ants usually are, could evade the stroke.
| The distance from where the cat crouch
ed to where it caught the bird was just
| 33 feet naturally supposed from the
length Of the leap that the cat was
young and in full activity, but after |
trailed it to the swamp and shot it I
discovered that it was old and almost
toothless. The animals hunger may
have spurred him to the great jump. II
not, and the leap was an evidence Of
what a superannuated wildcat can do,
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a
young and active wildcat could clear
at least twice that distance when press

His Reward.

A member of the house who was de-

a number of his associates what had
caused his downfall. He said one town
in his district had 20 voters, and there
were 13 persons in the town who want
ed him to appoint them to $50 place
in one of the departments in Washing
ton. This one place was all he could get
for the town. He gave it to one of the
1S, and the remaining dozen turned
loose on him in the primaries. This
ratio held good in other parts of the dis
trict, and when the convention was
called to nominate candidate the only
friends he had were those whom he had
appointed, and as they were in Wash
ington his enemies carried the day.

An Experience Which Decided Ono Mar

''I do not believe that il is right to

whenever am inclined to believe a

rience in my own life when, If / had
been tried for murder ON circumstantial
evidence, l would have been proved
guilty. Years ago l was living in an
other city. was married to my second
wife, and it was neighborhood talk that
we did not agree on account of property
and my children. We had had several
quarrels, and our domestic relations
were rather strained. Ny wife became
desperately i'll of fever, and it left her
mind in rather q shattered state.
"She had become well enough ono
day to go out for drive, and of course
accompanied her. We lived in large
house alone, and on returning she start

Just as / did so former servant girl

as my wife suddenly writhed in agony
She had rheumatism, and my grasping
her caused her to feel very sensitively
my touch and to almost shrek in pain.
However, managed to get her up to
her bedroom, on the second story, and
after she had lain down went down to
the stable to feed my horse.
81 was out of the house only few
seconds when heard cries of help and
saw several neighbors rush into my
yard. Invent hastily in the direction in

wife lying prostrate under an open win
dow in the side yard. She had fallen on
the top of her head and would have had
her brains dashed out, but by good for
tune her head struck the soft soil of q
flower bed. As it was, she was uncon.
scious for several days, and heard from
various sources that ugly reports hao
been circulated to the effect that ha6

her up stairs and had pitched her out

case is now pending in California to
