There IS one particular bluecoat who.
by sVirtue Of his long service, carries
three faded stripes on his coat sleeve,
sand he honestly SLEEVES that he IS on
TITLED to some incidental fayors. Taken
altogether, he is Of such q naturally
grumpy disposition that he ii far from

tors
NotWit hstan ding all this, Mr.. Brass
Buttons beat the combinat ion and beat
itSpretty thorough lily. He had been rath-
er behind time in his hourly commnni-
cations with Headquarters, and his SUI
speriors determined to teach him q les
son. accordingly he was sent Is travel
Is lonely, isolated post, which had q sol
itary patrol box situated just alongside
q deserted hut that had once been util-
lied as 8 tooth BY q railroad COR
poratmn. It sdidn & 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 immed iately
set about arranging a scheme whereby
he could benefit BY l.s newly acquired
advantages. - .s@
The much craved boon that he sought
was light maps. He had long ago tried
the plan of an alarm clock set to 90 off
q 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 condi tions were
different, for he had found Just what
he needed to carry out the clever ruse he
had concoeted. Running alongside the
deserted shanty were two electric light
wires fully charged with a 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, and after
making sure that the clock was on time
with his watch he made 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
" fastened to the framework Of the
timepiece just over the figures that in
dictated his hour for pulling up Then
to one of the wires lie fastened two
more pieces of copper, which he wound
about either of his hands. This done,
the willy policeman stretched himself
out on the floor and enjoyed the desired
nap, safe in the knowledge that at the
proper moment the meeting Of the two
wires on the clock would convey to him
shock that was bound to waken him,
so he could salute his station through
the patrol box. icago Tunes

Adry is apparently a gentleman and a

What will be done with this lesser
specter? The defense will try, nay, says
it will show that Adry Hayward is, and
has been, as visionary sas. the most
chronic imbec1e, harmless, but iincom-
potent. This is the intent. Insanity
will be shown to have been IN the fam
ily for years back, to add to the claim.
For this the dispositions from Illinois
will be used, if the conrt allows them.
So far Erwin expects smooth SAILING.

EVERY once in a while some good
popullst brother comes in and wants
to know if it is fact that the popu-
list central committee is trying to
elect some one candidate and slsnght-
er ell others. Do not be fooled by
any such nonsense as the central com.
mittee knows no difference between
any of the candidates. II is doing
what it can for the election of the en-
tire ticket, and with the help of the
voters will eject every man nomlnat-
ed. The game is to play off one
mans frienu.s against others. The

filed petitions asking that the name
of D. J Kinsey be placed on the peo-

Professional Etiquette.

The following is told cf the late Sin
William Gull as illustrating the doc
tors maxim that it is necessary bcfor,
all else that the patient shall have con
fidence in his medical adviser.
Being called in haste to a patient un-
der the care of a very young practition-
er, Sir William found that brandy and
water was being given at intervals. with
certain other treatment. The great ply
sician carefully examined the patient
and said, Give him another spoonful
Of brandy &"
He then retired to a private room
with the young doctor in charge.
1T is a case Of so and so, " he said as
soon as the door was closed. 'You
shouldn't have given brandy on any &C
count.
But. said the Junior practitioner
IN amazement Il thought, Sir Will
liam, that you just told the nurse to
give him another spoonful "
$50 did. . said the great man, be
cause we must not destroy his confidence
in you, or he'll never feel comfortable
or believe anything you tell him again. -
