POLICEMAN'S ESCAPADE
CELEBRATES HIS APPOINTMENT
BY GETTING LOADED
A Brand-New Officer Is Found Glo-
riously Drunk After Three
Hours Service

1t does not follow that, because
man wears badge and a policemans
uniform. he has got beyond the tempta-
tions which beset the ordinary individ-
ual as would seem to be proven in the
case of Maurice w. Moore, who was one
police commissioners at their meeting
Thursday. In fact, Moore's start wac
anything but auspicious. and while his
career was very brief. he will proba bly,
fellow officers.
Yesterday morning this new appointee
appeared at the police station and re-
ported for duty He wore a brand new
uniform, and after receiving his badge
felt that he was the equal of any full
f1edged policeman on earth. At noon
he went out with Sergeant Gus Smiths
watch and wa,a stationed on South Los
Angeles street.
Moore was feeling thoroughly happy
and his heart was light. For two long
years he had been trying to get a job
on the police force. Sixteen times he
mad got gloriously drunk in joyful an
ticipation that he was about to realize
his dream and was on the verge of re-
ceiving the appointment Now it had
come at last and he was thoroughly
happy.
AS this new policeman with his brand
new uniform paced up and down his
beat on lonely Los Angeles street he
did not think any of the residents were
in any imminent danger from burglars
or safe crackers or petty larcenists and
just decided to show himself how proud
he was and happy by inviting that in
dividual to have drink. OF course the
invitation was accepted But he didn't
stop there. for why should he? He had
been on the force two whole hours and
had been living up to all the regulations
and if he just took few drinks no one
would be the wiser.
Abouts3 o'clock in the afternoon tele-
phone message was received at the po-
lice station that a policeman down on
South Los Angeles street was monopo-
lizing the whole sidewalk, greatly to the
inconvenience of anyone who might be
disposed to use it in preference to walk
ing in the street.
Captain Roberts and, Sergeant Smith
hurried to that locality and were sur
prised to find Moore doing police duty in
hie own peculiar way. He was escorted
to the police station and brought into
the august presence of Chief Glass. 1t
wasn't necessary to explain matters, as
appearances were sufficient. Moore
was relieved of his star and. club and
then summarily dismissed to await the
action of the commissioners on his case.
He will undoubtedly be dropped from
the force.

Mother Goose's RHYMES

Mother Goose the alleged author Of the
collection of popular nursery rhmyes. was
reality. Mrs. Goose was of wealthy
family in Boston. Her eldest daughter
married Thomas Fleet, an enterpris.ng
printer, and Mrs. Goose lived with them.
When their first child was born she was
delighted and spent nearly the whole time
in singing songs and ditties which she had
learned in her youth to please the baby.
The unmusical sounds annoyed everybody
and especially Fleet who loved quiet. He
demonstrated, coaXed, scolded and ridi-
culed, but in vain. He could not suppress
the old lady; so he resolved to turn the
annoyance to account by gathering up and
publishing the songs, ditties and nonsen-
sical jingles of his mother-in-law and
Furnishing her by attaching her name to
them In 1I19 they were published in Pud-
ding lane (now Devonshire street,. with the
title of Songs for the Nursery. or Mother
Goose's Melodies for Children" The latter
portion oil the title was intended by Fleet
TO get even with his mother-in-law.

REVIVED MEMORY.
When We Grow Old, We Recall the
Things of Long Ago.

When We Grow Old, We Recall the
Things of Long Ago.
About rs years ago, upon a rainy
day, small boy who had reached the
mature age of 6 was sitting with his
mamma and bemoaning the state of the
weather and accompanying absence Of
novel entertainment Mamma wore on
her finger beautiful ring that was a
family heirloom, and as she sewed pa
tiently the jewel glittered Oh her little
white hand. The small boy regarded
the bright bauble for some time in
silence and then sweetly requested
mamma to take it off and let him play
with 1t. 1t was a weak thing to do,
perhaps, but she complied. 1 dare say
there are mothers at the present day
who can sympathize with her, for hui
man nature is the same, though fash
ions change, and when the "dear
child" looked up in her face pleadingly
he looked with papa's eyes, and papa
was dead. So he got the RIG and lost
it, as might have been expected. He
always insisted that he had put it
away to keep" but he could never re-
member where.
The years went on. The gentle young
mother went out into the great I'M
known to find the light of her life that
shone in ''papa's eyes" and the CEN
fury and the boy having been young
together grew old in company too.
Finally age began to tell on them. The
century got troubled with complaint
designated "fin de Steele" and the boy
lost his memory for the things of TO-
day, but became abnormally reminis-
cent in regard to the past. His thoughts
often turned back to the young mother
long dead, and in the decline Of life he
had as clear mental picture of her as
his boyish eyes had ever seen. One
evening, having pushed his spectaoles
On top of his head and hunted every
where for them vainly, he sat musing
before the fire, when suddenly a food
Of light illuminated that dark corner
of his memory where hung the picture
of that small edition Of himself losing
or putting away" the ring. He sprang
to his feet with an excited cry: ''The
ringl The ring! I slipped it down the
crack in the window casing-the one
that looks out on the orchardl"
Upon investigation the ring was
brought from its long hiding place,
which was the exact spot the old man
had described Buffalo Express.

Forgot to Wear Trousers.

A certain noble lord, who shall be
nameless, during his journey north on
a political mission changed his costume
for full highland "rig OUT" intend
ing it as delicate compliment to the
land of the kilt, but when he looked
at himself in the glass he found that
the tailor had cut his kilt too short, so
he made up his mind to put on evening
dress.
He changed his upper garments and
then sat down for q few moments to
study his speech. This set him to sleep.
He awoke with start, only to find
himself running into the station. For
getting what happened, he thrust on
his hat and appeared at the window
bowling, and this was how he was
dressed:
He had full highland costume as
far as his waist Above were a white
shirt and swallow tailed coat, and the
entire edifice was crowned with Chin
ney pot hat, upon which he sat down
without noticing it. His lordship's hor-
ror when he stepped upon the platform
and felt the keen wind cutting his bare
legs changed to absolute agony when
his valet appeared, scrambling out of
the carriage with pair Of trousers in
his hands, waving them wildly and ex-l
claiming, my lord, my lord, you We
forgotten these. London Telegraph.

New England Meeting Houses.

Cotton Mather said: 81 find no Just
ground in Scripture to apply such a
trope as church to house for public
worship. A meeting house is the term
that is most commonly used by New
England Christians, and every town,
for the most part, can say we have a
modest and a handsome house for the
worship of God, not set off with gaudy,
pompous, theatrical fineries, but suited
unto the simplicity of Christian wor-
ship"
The people were seated in the early
days, says DR.. Ezra Hoyt Byington, in
his book on 1.-THE Puritan In England
and New England, on rough benches,
men and women on opposite sides.
Pews were not provided first Now and
then special vote was passed by the
town authorizing some person to build
a pew i'll the meeting house at his own
expense. Squares on the floor, about 6
feet by 6, were decided to individuals,
on which they erected pews to suit
themselves. The best seat was some
times assigned to the man who paid the
highest tax in the parish. Sometimes
the committee was instructed "to
have respect upon them that are 80
years old and upward, others to be
seated according their pay" In one in
stance we have a record that the COM
mittee was instructed "to have respect
to age, office and estate, so far as 1t
tendeth to make a man respectable, and
to everything else that hath the same
tendency -

was sitting on a keg of nails in a
West Virginia mountain store watching
native dickering with the merchant
over trade Of basket of eggs for a
calico dress. After some time bargain
was closed, the native walked out with
the dress in bundle under his arm
and followed him.
''It isn't any business of NINE"
said, "but 1 was watching that trade
and was surprised to see you let the
eggs 60 for the dress. !"
"What fer?" he asked in astonish-
ment, as he mounted his horse.
"How many eggs did you have?"

Dunno; can't count"
"That's where you miss the advan-

you might have got two dresses for
those eggs. "
"But didn't want two dresses, mis-
ter" he argued.
Perhaps not, but that was no reason
why you should have paid two prices
for one. The merchant got the advan-
tage of you because of his education.
He knew what he was about. "

he felt real sorry for me Then he

Turks and NIeerschaum.

According to the best authorities
upon the subject. the idea of using
white tale in the manufacture of pipes
is Of comparatively recent date, COM
pared with the age of the habit Of smok-
ing, and what is still more curious is
the fact that in the oriental countries
which produce white tale, or meer-
schaum, as it is called, and where the
use of tobacco forms part Of the educa-
ton Of the faithful, the people never
dream of making this substance into
pipes. They make bowls and goblets OF
it, but no pipes 1t may be that the
long pipestems which allow the smoke
to cool and lose its acridity before
reaching the mouth leave the oriental
smoker quite Indifferent in regard to
the quality of the bowl. At all events,
one never sees a Turk with a meer-
schaum pipe. -Courrier DIES Etats Unia

CHAPTER XIV.
THE OLD OsTLFR.

After this, it was decided by the mas
ter and mistress to pay a visit to some
friends who lived about forty-s miles
from our home, and James was to drive
them. The first day we travelled thirty
two miles. There were some long heavy
hills, but James drove so carefully and
thoughtfully that we were not at all har-
assed. He never forgot to put on the
brake as we went downhill, nor to take it
off at the right place. He kept our feet
on the smoothest part of the road, and
if the uphill was very long, he would set
the carriage wheels little across the road
80 as not to run back, and gave us breath
ing. All these little things help horse
very much, particularly if he gets kind
words into the bargain.
We stopped once or twice on the road,
and just as the sun was going down, we
reached the town where we were to spend
the night. We stopped at the principal
hotel, which was in the Market Place; it
was very large one we drove under an
archway into long yard, at the further
end of which were the stables and coach
houses. Two ostlers came to take us out.
The head ostler was pleasant, active lit
tie man, with crooked leg, and yellow
striped waistcoat. l never saw man I'M
buckle harness so qnickly as he did, and
with pat and a good word he led me to
long stable, with six or eight stalls in it,
and two or three horses. The other man
brought Ginger; James stock by whilst We
were rubbed down and cleaned.

ON THE STRENGTH OFAFIVE
A Young Man Who Found 1t Cheaper to
Travel Without Change.


Travel without Change.
Washington, from what have seen
of it, is a peculiar place, said the Wis
iting young man to a reporter.
"I'll tell you why think so, he
continued. "The other day was going
over to Baltimore, and on consulting
my watch discovered l had but a few
minutes in which to catch my train. l
struck the avenue at Fourteenth street
and boarded car.
"When the conductor came round for
my fare, put my hand in my pocket
and found l had nothing less than $5
bill. The conductor glanced at it, then
at me, and shook his head disapprov-
ingly.
8" L can't change that, he said.
81 told him it was the smallest I
had, but he said then he could not
change anything larger than a 50 bill;
that they were not required by law to
do so. | began to think would have to
get off and walk, when he came to my
relief by saying that could get the
bill changed and pay him at the end of
the line, near the depot.
II thought this was very considerate.
When we reached the terminus, told
the conductor that I could have the So
changed and pay him, starting for a
place on the corner.
" That's all right Go onl Go onp
he told me, waving his hand as if he
owned the railroad
However, | tried to have the bill
broken unsuccessfully. just then l re-
membered l wished to communicate
something to a friend up town and
asked if could use pay telephone in
a corner of the room.
"'You could use it all right if you
had 10 cents in change, the proprietor
told me, but you haven't it, Come
back here in my office and use my
private phone. That's all right when
l was profuse in my thanks.
"Say, do you know what I think, ;"
continued the young man. 81 believe
could get 500 bill and live in the
capital for weeks for nothing, simply
by getting things and showing it under
the noses of the people L purchased
from. They would rather give them to
me than take the trouble to break it. 3"
And then he remarked that the only
difficulty would be in securing the bill
in the first place. Washington Star
