London has many queer things in the

queerer than its women guardians of
the streets, for London, unknown to
most OF its inhabitants, has a police
force the like of which does not exist
in any other city on earth.
In order to sec it work you must get
up very early on Friday morning, and
visit Corent Garden market. There
you will see such block of traffic and
such crowd of angry ard unreason-
able drivers that you will not be sur
prlsed at the metropolitan police Civ
ing up the duty of keeping order as an
impossible job. But still you will find
that things come right in the end, and
on looking to find how this is brought
about you will probably be shocked at
discovering that Covent garden has a
police force all to itself in the shape

own way. But for these women it is
believed that it would be necessary to
read the riot act every Saturday morn

day before the army beef court of enquiry
at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, by Sergeant
Edward Mason of the lst United States
cavalry, who served as regimental commits
sary sergeant at Lakeland, Fla, and dur
ing the Cuban campaign. The canned
roast beef furnished on the voyage from
Tampa to Cuba was tasteless and unsatis-
factory, and generally had to be thrown
away. In Cuba the men of his regiment
would not eat the canned roast beef, and
as a rule il was thrown away. The re-
frigerated beef issued after the surrender
was good, but as a rule it was spoiled be-
fore it could be used.
In regard to beef taken from cars at
Lakeland he said: 1.-The meat we received
was in appearance fine, but it was undoubt-
eddy chemically treated. One morning
went down to the refrigerator car to draw
meat and objected 20 the appearance OF
it. An agent of Armour a. Co. was there.
