cinct with the men when they went
on post. But he stuck TO Sergt. Reilly
more than TO any of the rest, and ever
since that time they have been accus-
toned TO take long walks together.
The name Bum" stuck to him from
the remark made by Roundsman Haw-
kins the first night he came into the
house. Before long the policemen in
Ehe house Clipped in and bought him
handsome collar inscribed Bum" and
also bearing regulation brass figures
as, used to indicate the number of
che precinct.
He is very fastidiOus about his meals
now, but he has friends about the pre-
cinct who give him anything he wants.
The night watchman at the Astoria
1erryhouSe has plate of cooked meat
s0r liver ready for him every night az
II o'clock. And Bum is usually on
hand. So between the policemen in
the house and his friends on the out
side he fares pretty well.
He always turns out with the mid
Night platoon and barks his approval
as the men march out.
The conductors on the Eighty-sixth
street crosstOwn horse ears all know
him, and he rides free with them lust

Learned the limits of the precinct from
rzhe men on post, and he has never been
known TO go below Seventy-ninth
street or above Ninety-siXth street
He has the record also of having fast
zened his teeth in the trousers of more
than one burglar or thief running to
escape arrest. Bum always managed
20 interest them until a policeman
could make the capture.
Altogether, the men of the Twenty
seighth precinct think they have pref

having seen better days and was gen
teel in his department. He fell in
love with Miss Laura and in spite of
his being a tramp she returned his
love, although she told him she could
never think of marrying him.
On Saturday Henry Snodgrass, one
of her unknown suitors, appeared
and was rejected. On Sunday Harry
Williams, the other man with whom
she had corresponded. was to appear.
But she waited all day and he failed
TO put in his appearance.
That evening the tramp spoke TO
her of love and she told him she
loved him, but could never marry a
poor man. Throwing off his disguise
Harry Williams, young, wealthy and
dressed in the height Of fashion,
stood before her. Miss Keller was
quite overcome at the denouement,
but all obstacles having been over
come she renewed her love vows and
they were married. Williams is said
TO have wealth and social standing,
but took the disguise of a tramp to
ascertain, unsupported, what manner
of girl Miss Keller was. Both were
satisfied and they are now on a
honeymoon trip.

I tried pounding on it the way you
do on ear windows when they stick,
but it was no use; couldn't move it.
After that | tried the straight pull
on il again, and almost upset the
bureau this time. l did joggle some
things of the top of it and then
was meditating on going for the axe
when Mrs. Billtops passing the door,
looked in.
"Is the drawer locked, Ezra" she
said"
And by Jimmy hOe-cakes, the
drawer was locked. The key was in
the lock. and somebody had some
time or other turned it, and il had
never occurred 10 me to try il now.
In fact. / never thought anything
about the key or the lock at all, one
way OF the other; but when | turned
that key the drawer opened just as
easy. And l made up my mind that
hereafter the first thing l should do
when / came across a bureau drawer
that stuck would be TO see if il
wasn't locked"

BUM, DOG POLICEMAN
Hs Goes Out Regularly on Patrol
and Catches Burglars.
n Recognized Member of the Force
Precinct sS, New York city
Has1CDuntIess Friends and
Admirers. -.

The policemen all like Bum, anyhow,
and it is not recorded that he has any
snemies in the precinct, except possibly
some burglars who have felt his teeth.
He arrived at the police station in
Eighty-eighth street, far over the
East river, one bitterly cold night four
zEinters ago, says the New York Sun.
Capt Freers was in command at that
sine, and he happened to be sitting
beside Sergt. Tom Reilly behind the
desk. The street door opened and a
diminutive black-and-tan dog lodged
IN al the heels of Roundsman Hawkins.
Here's a poor little bum almost
frozen TO death, said the roundsman.
Lets thaw him out"
Sure" said the captain, "let him
lie down by the stove"
But Bum didn't like the stove. He
was so benumbed by the cold that he
could hardly walk. He managed to
drag himself around behind the desk,
however, and curl up by Sergt. Reilly's
chair.
That was the beginning of their
friendship. Sergt. Reilly was his IA
vorite from the first, and has cOntin-
,ued so.
"He looked up at me in such an APP
pealing way" said the sergeant, Il
could not help but pity the little crea-
1ure,"
Bum was not the spick-and-span-
looking dog then he is to-day. He was
small. scraggly and haIf-starved.
Sergt. Reilly sent out and bought him
some meat and liver when he was
1hawed out. 1t was probably the first
square meal Bum had ever had.
His next acquisition of fortune was
an old blanket TO lie on upstairs in the
dormitory. The men all came to know
him soon, and his fortune prospered
EOrrespondingly
He made his home at the police sta
zion and began TO go about the pre-

Town Of Early Marriages.

Rhosllanerchrugog, North Wales,
probably holds the record for early
marriages. The place is a thriving
mining town of about 10000 popu-
Eation. The majority of the marri-
ages are contracted when the bride
groom is from Is TO 20 years of age
and the bride generally about two
years younger. The marriages. as a
rule, are happy ones, for the young
miner of IS or 20 is able to earn a
splendid wage. After a few months
OF married life the young husbands

HERE ON ALAMEDA
Company Of Thirty People Will
Play One Week at the
Orpheum.

The second company of the Henry
Lee and ]. Rial Worlds Entertainers
are expected to arrive on the Alameda.
on their way for a tour of Australia.
The company has thirty people well
known in theatrical and concert cir
Giles. and the specialties are taken from
original productions in London, Berlin,
Paris and New York theaters. One at
traction will be the Martinellis, the
famous acrobats. The company will
remain over in Honolulu until the Ven
tura arrives on January %. on which
the company will depart for Australia.
and will play every night next week
at the Orpheum Theater, the Hogan
engagement closing tomorrow evening.
The first company of Worlds Enter
tainers IS still in Australia, and is SAID

said to be better than the first one.

so arranged that nearly every one In
the cast has an opportunity to do some
speciality.
The lack OF proper scenery proved
quite a drawback in the second act,
and the terrible storm on shipboard re-
quired a considerable stretch of the
Imagination to make 1t realistic. How
ever. these little things are overlooked
when followed by such high-class
specialties as were introduced through
out the bill.
Hogan, as the country coon, has a
character which suits his versatile abil-
ity. and his love scene with Katie Mil
a fine piece of comedy.
McClain did some good character
work as the bum actor. Chenault
would make a wonderful female i'm
personator, for he makes a graceful
and good looking woman, and when it
comes to dressing he can give many
lady pointers.
All the characters were well sustain
ed and the piece, on the whole, went
smoothly and seemed to please the
large audience present. There are
many fine songs and choruses intro
duced, some of them being original
compositions of Hogan and Wise.
The Country Coon" will be played
tonight and at the matinee tomorrow.
while tomorrow night will be the final
performance of the Hogan season.
