THE NEW POLICEMAN
Neatly Tricked by Young Rascals
 He Intended to Capture.
Carriage Used as Hiding Place Almost Proves His UndoiME--Is Driven In- 4O the Country and Has to Pay
 His Fare Back Again.

4 Milwaukee man was recently ap- pointed to the police force of city up in the state, and being from the ''city'' was anxious to show his brother patrolmen how to do things in real metropolitan style
 It chanced that the new officer was detailed to beat on which was To- cated the opera house, and he was given special instructions to watch the crowd of small boys, who for weeks had been a source of great an- noyance to the manager of the the- ater.
 On the evening when particular attraction was billed at the play house, says the Milwaukee Sentinel, the policeman noticed the boys as usual hanging about the front doors and creating no small disturbance. Now as d matter of fact boys in the small towns have way of lodging police officers even as they do in the cities, and the new policeman, realiz- ing this, thought that he would work a plan which would be the means of making him a much-talked-o sleuth at the central station.
 A number of hacks and carriages were standing at the theater en- trance, and the new policeman, after, as he thought. s1uding the gaze of the youngsters, crossed in the shadow of the street and ensconced himself on the cushion seats of hack, ready in an instant to run out and grab the youthful offenders. But he did not know the kind of youngsters he had to deal with. More than one pair of eyes watched him cross the street, and it was not long before boys voice told the driver of the hack, who was taking drink in a nearby sa-

NAUGATUCK NUGGETS.
Concert at Columbus Hall Last Even
 Largely Attended.

The civil service examinations will be held to-morrow morning in the post office at g o'clock. There are five ap- plicants to be examined.
 Next Wednesday evening the Amer ican band of Waterbury will give 3 promenade dance at Columbus nall. The last dance given by this band at Columbus hall was so well patronized and enjoyed so much by those present that Director Fulton has thought 1t advisable to give another dance on Wednesday evening.
 Miss Ethel Brown Of Trowbridge place left yesterday for Boston, where she will reside in the future.
 The concert given at Columbus hal last evening was we'll attended. The singing of Miss Hogan and Mir Su!ii- van could not be improved upon. Miss Hogan has a fine soprano voice and both her solos were rOundly ap- plauded. The tenor solos by Mir Suili- van Of Norwich were excellent. Mir Sullivan is the possessor of q rich tenor voice, and it is to be hoped he can again be heard in Naugatuck in :he future. The last number on the pro gram was Anchored which was beautifully rendered by St Francis'S choir. under the direction of Mrs Charles J. Baxter.

General Hall Retired.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Brigadier General Robert H. Hall was placed on the retired list of the army today by op- eration of law on account of age. He was born in Michigan and appointed to the army from Illinois. Graduating from the Military academy in July, 1860, he served with distinction throughout the civil war. Because of exceptionally meritorious services in the Philippines he was made brigadier general in the regular army last February. Returning from that country several months ago, he was granted leave of absence and is now at his home, near Fort Porter, N. I. With the retirement of General Hall President Roosevelt will have an op- portunity to promote two officers of the army to the grade of brigadier general. The other vacancy was occasioned by the retirement of Brigadier General Henry c. Merriam on the 18th lnsts

THE LEFT-HANDED BARBER.
Some of the Sensations Experienced When You Get Under His Razor.

Were you ever shaved by q left handed barber? asks the Hartford Times. No? Well, when you run mp against him you will get an experience that you will remember. You get tine covering of father in about the. usual way; the rubbing is the same, only with the hand that is not familiar; all this you hardly notice. But when the operator begins you come to yourself.
 The right side of your soapy face is upturned, and you expect the knight of the razor to gently lean upon your manly breast and scrape. But just as you are wondering where he is he. looms up on the other side-right in your face and eyes. You are looking at him. Then his right hand is swept over the cheek to the head. and rests at the top to steady it. Now from the depth rises that left hand, with the shining blade, and while you are think ing thinks and sort of getting your bearings he gets to work.
 Of course he should; that is what lie does that you may honor his check later. But everything seems wrong side up to you as you recline in the chair. The razor is held backwards, as it seems. and the strokes are side ways towards the mouth instead of the usual downward slide to the chin. And then lie gets you guessing when he tackles the chin. The blade slides easily about, but the route is new.
 Again there is a surprise when you follow the injunction and turn tile other cheek. The operator is righr handy. He has been there all the time, and no reaching over is now necessary. He slips the steel down the cheek, lie runs about the neck, and caroms to the chin; all in quick time.
 By the time he reaches the hot towel. the bay rum, the almond cream and the brilliantine you have got ac- quainted with that left hand (you cor tainly ought to if you haven'O, and you like the fellow The same hand directs the comb, and is still on duty when you receive your pasteboar1 check.
 And this is what you find in Boston.

loon, that the policeman was snooz- ing in the vehicle.
 There was moments discussion and then a plan of revenge was de- cided on. The hackman walked noise lessly around the dark side of the carriage, and before the officer knew what was being done the horses were whipped and going at a mad rate of speed down the street.
 There was a yell from inside to stop, but the driver never heard. Around corners and over crossings at pace that made the policeman's hair stand up with fright the horses dashed as he clung frantically to the seat to keep from having his head bumped against the top of the hack.
 The ride lasted for 15 minutes, and when the horses were finally allowed to settle into walk and stop the dis tance back to the policeman's beat was reckoned by the hack driver at about four miles. Of course there was an argument, possibly some Ian guage that would not bear repeat ing, but through it all the hack driver maintained an air of calm indiffer- ence until, in a last effort to contain himself from laughing, he made the proposition that the policeman pay his fare back to town.
 It was insult to injury in the off, ficeris eyes, but notwithstanding he remembered that the chief was at the theater and if he was not seen upon the beat when the play was out ques- tions would be asked. Accordingly, with much loud talk, $2 bill was produced, and the driver with profes- sional politeness opened the carriage door for his passenger to enter on the return trip.
 When the hack finally did come in sight of the opera house there was a scattering of small boys, but 1t was not done quick enough for the new officer to escape hearing the delight ed peals of laughter as the last tat tered coat and cap whisked around the corner.

It is one of the peculiarities of travel by balloon, says the Idler, that you do mot feel anything; all is still with you, no matter how fast you may be going. You see, you are riding with the wind; you move as fast as it moves; you are part and parcel of it, whether you wish to be or not. It takes you in its em- brace so firmly. yet so softly, you do not know it is there. You may be in the teeth of a hurricane, but you never know it; all is calm and placid with yOu.

 The increase in 1me number of tall buildings has resisted ill larger use of ribbed and prismatic glass for win dows, as we'll as in the production of improved varieties of such glass. The illumination of dingy rooms, shut in by lefty walls, is increased by the re- f1ection, from the many facets of the glass, of light which would otherwise pass the windows without penetrating the interior of the rooms. The em- ployment of diffusing glass is regard ed as introducing "a new era in in- terior lighting"
