Captain McKaig's whiskers have a re-
markable resemblance to those of Cap
tain Chapman, the would-be autocrat of
the New York Tenderloin. 1t seems as
If Captain McKaig's brains also resem-
bied those of the New York notoriety.
When real crime and lawlessness is
rampant in his precinct, as in the case
of the burglary epidemic a couple of
years ago, Captain McKaig is as inefi-
cient as a police captain can well be.
Violations of any quantity Of ordinances
and statutes are in constant progress
every day in the week. and especially on
Sunday, under his very nose, but he ele-
Yates his chin as he walks through the
streets, and his whiskers hide them from
his view.
As soon as there is a little notoriety to
be had. however, the Captain is all vigil
lance and activity. The more doubtful
the law and Justice of the case, the more
cocksure the Captain is, and the more
determined is the Captain in making ar
rests. Scoop 'em ini Lock 'em up!
What matter whether it is right or
wrong? It is sure to bring an article in
the paper and a chance for the Captain
to tell how little he cares about law.
BALL Huh. I'll take no more bail.
The police must not be fooled With
Lawt No matter about the lawi I'm
using my Judgment in this matterr"
Lawyer Peshan had better be careful
or Captain McKaig win withdraw per-
mission for him to live in the precinct.
