was much grieved to think that South anpton rewarded it's conservators of the peace with beggarly stipend of about six dollars week
 We whizzed into London late in the afternoon. There was an unseemly absence of turmoil and strife among hackmen to obtain fares. There was instead quiet cabby for each passen- ger who wished one, but the cabbymen didn't seem to want to tear anybody to bits in the process. It was sad, fune- raj, un-Chicago-lilse spectacle.
 In hearse-lilxe vehicle, except four wheeler, two of us were cabbed to the hotel we had selected and which was nearly mile from the station. Like most of the hanson cabs in London our hearse was provided with rubber tires. These and the sand-papered streets made the drive pleasant one.
 Our three trunks were placed on top of the cab, and our ever-present and certainly unnecessarily numerous hand luggage tucked away on our laps and under our feet inside Note, that feet and luggage are inside All cabby asked for the whole outfit was three shillings. Seventy-ive cents! Talk about cheap Chinese labor
 And the duke of Wellington distin- guished as hotel porter-I knew him by his face-met us at the hotel portal and accepted a sixpence. But cab hire and bus hire and mems clothes are about the only exception to the gen eral process of extortion and licensed petty larceny by which the population of the village of London is maintained, for London is village. 1t is big in size and numbers, but it's ways are those of a village.
 Sightseeing in London is easy. All one has to do is to go out and lose one's self. Then the sights come trail ing along of their own accord. After the sightseer has grown weary of gag ing at Westminster abbeys, and St. Paul's, and towers of London, and Buckingham palaces, he can ask the bobby, the ever ready, ever polite bobby, the way out. He will probably tell you, also, that there is only one of each.
 One day I ran up against the Devil bug here in London. In moment of oblivion I consented to stray around London hamlet with him. I'm glad now it wasn't in New York, We'd have been run in half dozen times, even had we escaped a more tragic fate.
 There's one advantage in the density of the London officials, for it takes them so long to grasp any situation ex- cept the one they're holding down for life that any ordinary American cul- prit can escape. The next American Bidwen will steal the tower of London. The tower, by the way, was the first thing we visited. It is malarial-lools- ing edifice and is the haunt of the boiled beef eater, or yeoman of the guard. When an English soldier be- comes so old and feeble that he is in prime condition to be sent to the bone yard, instead, because he has been on his good behavior for twenty or thirty years, the queen lets him be a yeoman of the guard and wear the cast. off garments of her ladies in waiting, They are made over somewhat. The yeoman of the guard doesn't have tc know much to keep his job, and he succeeds admirably in keeping his knowledge within properly restricted
