Summary dismissal OF policeman after
nine years service Is not only unusual
but unprecedented. A decent regard for
fairness and justice would have restrained
the police commission from such an un-
warranted act. Di Grado may not be
qualifed for the duty of a patrolman.
but having served in that capacity for
nearly decade he is entitled to hear
ing. No man should be dropped from
the force until charges have been pre-
ferred against him. and he has been given
an opportunity to answer. The commits

on that here in Rhode Island autocrats
are no more popular than monarchlcal
despots were at the time that made the

WHAT A MAN THINKS OF WOMAN.

Woman Is the puzzle which drives men
to endeavor TO solve by marriage and then
give IL up and say II can't be donc. They
are full OF unexpected delights. but are
as undecided a summers breeze. They
can be the meapest, most sarcastic and
devilish and the dearest. sweetest and
kindest thing on earth-all In the same
day. Why. who stands by the men in
time of trouble? Woman. And who gets
him into trouble? Womas. They can
stand more pain I'm ten minutes than
man can in lifetime. yet they will have
a sinking spell at the sight of a mouse. A
tramp will scare them into cooked hat,
yet they would fight regiment for their

Carlyle as a Child.

A London clergyman who died late ly, the rector of Chelsea, was an in- innate friend of Thomas Carlyle. One of his "reminiscences of the writer, who often seemed to ride upon whirlwind of words, shows the tender side of that rugged na- ture. The child is father to the man, and Carlyle's tender-heartednes when little boy may be regarded as certifying to generous characteris- tics in later life. The author told the clergyman that he remembered a cold, snowy day, when he was child, on which he was left in charge of the humble cottage which was his home
 His father and mother had gone to the nearest market town to buy pro-
