How an Emperor Rode to the Chase.

The Emperor himself is carried upon
four elephants in a fine chamber made
of timber, lined inside with plates of
beaten gold, and outside with lions
skins, for he always travels in this way
on his fowling expeditions, because he
is troubled with gout. He always keeps
beside him dozen of his choicest GER
falcons, and is attended by several of
his Barons who ride ON horseback
alongside. And sometimes, as they may
be going along, and the Emperor from
his chamber is holding discourse with
the Rarons one of the latter shall eX-
claim: "Sire! Look out for the CraneSw
Then the Emperor Instantly has the top
of his chamber thrown open, and hav-
ing marked the cranes, he flies one Of
his gerfalcons, whichever he pleases:
and often the quarry is struck within
his view, so that he has the most eX-
quisite sport and diversion there, as he
sits In his chamber or lies on his bed;
and all the Barons with him get the
enjoyment of 1t likewise. SO 1t is not
without reason | tell you that l do not
believe there ever existed in the world,
or ever will exist, "A man with such
sport and enjoyment as he has, or with
such rare opportunities.-St. Nicholas.

CuICAao's POLICE FORCE.
Sweeping Changes by Mayor Harrison
Were Not Legal.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-The supreme court
of Illinois handed down n decision to-
day UNFOLDING the constitutlonality of
the civil service law of the state. The
decision was rendered in a mandamus
proceeding brought by the attorney
general to the state to compel Chief
Ripley of the Chicago police force to
make appointments from the classified
list furnished by the civil service COM
mission. The decision is sweeping in
its nature and upholds the attorney
general in all the claims he makes in
behalf of the law.
All the appointments which Mayor
Harrison and Chief of Police Ripley
have made since they We're installed
In their present positions are now, un
der this decision, rendered Illegal, and
the chances are that the commission
will in short time inaugurate n
grand house cleaning that will take his
position from every man not appointed
by the commission. In the police de-
partment a hurricane will sweep
through the upper ranks and but few
of the commanding officers will be all
lowed to remain unless they pass their
examination.

per seller, the bootblack and this
youngster whose home IS the street

Seventy-fve walters Were busy for
six hours dealing out In generous
quantities portions of the following
collection of eatables Four hundred
and seventy-five turkeys. six barrels of
mashed potatoes. twenty barrels of APP
pies, / 900 gallons of milk, four barrels
of cranberry sauce, $50 lunches of BAN
anas, $50 loaves of bread, fifty boxes
of grapes. sixty boxes of oranges, $50
dozen cakes, 200 pies. and celery and
other side relishes galore. Prior to the
"feed" a parade of newsboys, headed
by n newsboys' band. marched across
the river to the Woolf store. From
their arrival till late 81 night It kept
n dozen policemen busy holding back
the crowds and restraining the young
sters. Nine hundred were seated at
once, and the scene in the big store was
remarkable. Besides the music of
munching and drinking there was an
orchestra present. and also vocal ar
lists. who assisted in diverting the
feasters and the hundreds who looked
on.
Mr.. Woolf was born In London
forty-six years ago, and lived next to
Barney Barnato for time and peddled
papers with the once diamond king in
the streets of the worlds metropolis
The memory of this experience in early
youth is the cause of his generosity
on each Thanksgiving eve.
