Officer Walter Hurt

Officer Walter tried to board a west
bound car from Boyle Heights near the
First street bridge last night, but slipped
under the ear and was dragged for nearly
half a block before the motorneer brought
the car to standstill. That the officer was
not run over and seriously injured is due
to his pluck in hanging on to one of the
rods on the truck. His left side was terri
bly, bruised. and he will probably have to
absent himself fom his beat in consequence
for while.

A corporal's Lesson.

During the American war the cap
tain of little band of soldiers was Civ
ing orders about heavy beam that they
were endeavoring to raise to the top Of
some military works which they were
repairing. The weight was almost be-
yond their power and the voice Of the
superintendent was often heard shouting
at them. An officer, not in military
costume, was passing, and asked the
superintendent why he did not render a
little aid. The latter, astonished, turned
around with the pomp Of an emperor
and said, "Sir, am a corporal"
"You are, are you? 1 ask your par
don, Mr. Corporal. " and, taking off his
hat, he bowed, saying, Twas not aware
of that. "
Upon this, he dismounted and pulled
until great drops Of perspiration stood
on his forehead. When the beam was
raised, turning to the little great man,
he said, "Mr. Corporal, when you have
another such job and not enough men,
send for your commander in chief and
will gladly come and help you a SEQ
ond time.
