Well, the officer brought his mar out
into the alley and around the corner
and led him to the patrol box. The
wagon came hastily in response TO the
summons. Now the other burglar had
not been recognized, and he could have
easily escaped If ne had run away. But
curiosity led him to come back and
mingle with the crowd. After the pris-
oner had been placed in the patrol
wagon, be was asked what had become
of his pal He looked over the crowd
and pointed him out, where he was
standing on the corner. The officers
who came in the patrol wagon arrested
the other marauder. ana both IF them

"No, / never was on the white house

easy post, and at the same time one al
the most important There are about
30 men detailed TO look after the safety
of the president, and that is small
force compared to the regiments and
platoons which guard monarchs in the
old world. But 30 men are enough &c

You will see them all around the lower
floor of the white house. They are in
the corridors, the east room, the parlors
and everywhere. These gentlemen are
officers in citizens dress. You may
think that they are paying no attention
to you, but all of them are sizing you
up. OF course they know all newspaper
men and public men after they have
been there a few times, but every stran'
ger who goes there is constantly under
supervision.
Then, if you will observe when the
president goes out driving, there is al
ways a man on horseback half block
or whole block ahead of him, taking
an outing for his health. That is one

presidents carriage the horse in the
buggy would take sudden notion to
travel along at a gallop, and one of the
men in that buggy would haul out q
shooting iron, which he can handle as
well as Buffalo Bill or Capt. Carver;
and if there should be any hostile
demonstration there would a shot ring
out which would not miss its mark
But the chances are a thousand
to one that the man on horse
back would not be many feet away if
there were any suspicious person on the
sidewalk. He would check mis- horse and
be right on the spot at the right time.
However, there is no danger 20 the
president, except in times of great po-
litical excitement, and then there are
always cranks in abundance.
There is scarcely a week without
some sort Of crank coming here to get
imaginary treasures, but they are near
ly all harmless fellows, with soft brains.
Nevertheless, it is wise and proper that
the president should always be guarded.
Besides the men in citizens dress, there
are always several men in uniform out
side the white house. 1t is not likely
that any dangerous man would go past
them and pass the door; but even
though they make no arrests the pres
ence of men In uniforms in the white
house grounds is sufficient to warn any
criminally-inclined fellows to keep
away. They may not know that there
are officers inside; but they realize that
there are officers outside, within easy
call, and that has wholesome effect.
president Mckinley is the only occu-
pant of the white house who has
mingled with the people, for many
years. I remember that President
Hayes used to drive about the city,
and occasionally go walking down
Pennsylvania avenue, But President
Arthur never was seen on the streets,
except when he walked across La Fay
cite park, to St. Johns church, on Sun
days. President Harrison for four
wears and President Cleveland for eight
years never walked anywhere. They
both seemed to be apprehensive of per-
sonal danger. President McKinley
seems to be without fear of that sort,
for he takes walks about town when
ever he feels like il. He is often seen on
the streets walking with some friend,
and the people greet him cordially, so
that he is often obliged TO stop and
shake hands with old acquaintance.
But, as a matter Of fact, he is closely
guarded He has signifed his unwill-
ingness to have a guard on his daily
walks; but the superintendent guards
him. Just the same, and he does not
know it, He never leaves the white
house for a walk. without having offic-
ers preceding and following him.
The uperintendent is right. Our re-
public is cosmopolitan and In our midst
are all sorts of people with all sorts Of
brains, good, bad, Indifferent, diseased
and cranky. The president ought not
to be unprotected for a single second,
no matter whether he is popular or ur-
popular. While he is our chief magis-
trate. he is. and should be, an object Ct
the regard and solicitude Of all of the
people. SMITH D, FRY.

ago he was standing down near Masonic
Temple, when a private Waterman told
him that burglars were getting into a

night, and the rain was just coming
down in a hurry. The officer ran up 10
the place, and throwing away MS ruo-
Der coat ran up the dark alley, where
the burglars had scaled high brick

the officer, who was ambitious to make
an arrest unaided, climbed over the wall
and dropped down into the dark yard.
AS he did so he struck his knee on a
low fence on the inside and gave it a
