the city. has been transferred to the
Central station, and Patrolman White Of
tho night force Is now covering that beat
This takes from the night beat and adds
to the work that must be done by the
night force.

Peaches have been the cause of consid-
erabie trouble for boys ever since peaches
have been known. and nearly everybody
has at some time or another been In his
happiest mood when stealing fruit. But
at times this happiness has been quickly
chsnged TO sorrow. as was the case or
the McCoombs boys yesterday. for they
undertook to be happy under a peach tree
IN the yard OF William Cooke on Laurel
HUI avenue. and undoubtedly they would
have been happy had not McCoombe
caught them. Later they lad an oppor-
tunity to think the matter over In the
waiting room Of the Chaffee street sta
tion.
A well ll-known business man voluntarily
acknowledged that he had at one time
been In a like position, and declared that
eny man who would plant a peach tree
should build an iron fence about IT, add
ing. Where Is the boy that won't steal
fruit.''
