RESULTS or SHAKE UP.
Cox Dislikes McKaig's Pets
and the Dogs Wont Leave
the Precinct.

Captain Archie McKaig was out all day
yesterday making a tour Of his new field
of duty, the Seventh precinct. His tour
was a most thorough one. He has al
ready made himself acquainted with the
environs of the Montgomery street sta
tion. The Captain seems to be perfectly
at home wherever he goes. He said yes
terday that he would make the station
house, the smallest in the city. comfort
able. All his furnishings used in the
Captains room in the Commun.paw ave-
nue. station, have been taken to his new
home.
Captain McKaig and Captain Fred Far
rier of the Oakland avenue station have
entered into an agreement to share the
products of the small farm in the rear
of the Montgomery street station. This
garden was planted by Captain Farrier.
Various kinds of vegetable seeds We're
sown. There are Irish potatoes, Spanish
onions and American cabbages among
them. Judging from the appearance OF
the plants, prolific harvest will be
reaped.
Captain McKaig is also taking an in
terest in the little farm and he says
the former commander of that precinct
must be on the spot at harvest time if
he wants a square deal on the fruit. !"
Among the pets of Captain McKaig are
two valuable dogs which have become
closely attached to the Captain and also
to the Communpaw avenue station
house. 1t is because of their fondness
for the station house that Captain Cox,
now in command of that precinct, has
declared he would turn the dogs over to
the gentlemen who use huge scoop-nets
to pick up CANNES promiscuously.
One is full blooded greyhound, about
three feet high. and the other is black
and tan scarcely more than five inches
high. The two make a pretty picture,
but Captain Cox does not seem to be of
that opinion. When he entered his new
home Monday the little canine refused,>to
allow him to enter the Captains Office.
No amount of coaxing and fattery could
change the dogs mind. It barked and
growled furiously at the intruder for a
few minutes.
Finally the Captain executed a clever
flank movement and dashed into the office
while two patrolmen drew the dogs at
tention from him. He is now more de-
termined than ever to rid himself of the
dogs.
Captain Cox told Captain McKaig yes
terday to take his ''blamed old ours"
away with him. Captain. Cox was told
that the dogs would stay at no other
ton. Every evening both dogs wend their
way to their owners home on Bergen
avenue, where they get their meal. They
then return to the station house.

No. 20 ON Old SITE
Board Of Education in Com
mittee Of the Whole De-
oided Against Lem
beck Site.
DISCUSSED OYER TWO HOURS
Plans Will Be Ready Next
Thursday--Architect Long
Says Journal Mis-quoted
Him.
DISCUSSED OYER TWO HOURS

The new Board of Education met
last night in Committee of the Whole
to specially consider proposition
of Finance Commissioner Henry
Lembeck to sell the city site
for the new No. 20 School. This site
known as the Columbia Park site,
had been spoken of before the old Board
of Education decided to build on the old
site, but Mr. Lembeck at that time was
not willing to sell.
Since the new Board was organized the
Columbia Park site has been offered the
city. On Sunday last the Committee on
No. 20 School, Directors Witt, Barker and
Mulvaney, inspected the site, but could
come to no agreement.
AT President Mulyaney's suggestion, the
Board was called together in Committee
of the Whole to settle the matter last
evening. The committee was in session
from half-past eight until nea1W eleven
o'clock, during which time the matter
was thoroughly discussed, but it was fin
ally almost unanimously decided to follow
up the old Boards determination to build
on the old site.
Architect Long will have the plans
ready for inspection next Thursday. He
declares that the alleged interview with
him, published in the Journal last FRI
day, condemning the old site, was unau-
thorized, and that what he said in con-
versation was misquoted.
The new building will cost about $4,000,
and the new Board anticipates that the
new Finance Board will carry out the
promises of the old one to allow a small
+1I in71
about midway between Danforth avenue
and the city line.
There is general feeling of satisfac-
tion that the matter has been finally
settled.
When the old Board began to take
steps to erect a building for the accom-
modation of pupils thrown out by the
burning down of No. 20 School, it was
said that the site was not large enough
for the erection of a modern school.
Mr.. Gennert offered the city four lots,
two fronting on Danforth avenue and
running through to Gator avenue, for
$4,000. This was thought reasonable un-
I'll one Sunday afternoon Directors Mig
gins, Quinn and Mulyaney, with superin-
tendent Snyder went to Greenville, and
ioohIhS oVei INC piopei'y' ueSioeo '.
$4,000 was too stiff a price for it.
The Lockwood site, fronting at Dan
forth and Gator avenues and old Bergen
road, struck them as good one. They
thought they could get it at the same
price as the Gennert site, but Mr.. Lock-
wood refused to sell for less than $4,000.
Meanwhile ex-Finance Commissioner
Simpson got the offer of a site a block
further west, known as the Detwiller
tract, for $500. The Board considered
this a poor site in view of the location.
The old Board of Finance would not
purchase the Lockwood site. The old
Board then ordered Architect Long to
draw plans for building on the old
site agreeing to appropriate money
enough for the erection of another small
school building between Danforth avenue
and the old city line.

THE ETERNAL LOVE.

In every human love, Love lives,
God of the Apostles Word;
Rooted in Paradise, it gives
Life still to new life stirred.
Though wisdom nor great faith be
mine
The mountains weight to move,
Still let me hear that song divine,
The worlds deep hymn of love.
Who never in the loved ones eyes
Has seen life grow divine
Is blinded by cares earthly prize,
Nor sees Heavens pure love shine.
For Wisdom's proudest work shall fall,
Earth's crumble to decay;
Loves triumph far exceedeth all
1t lives in endless day.
