THE AMERICAN POLICEMAN.

{ THE AMERICAN POLICEMAN.
+ A Kentuckian was passing pond
in Ohio upon which some young
men and women, strangers to him
were skating. Noticing that the ice
was very thin, young Bluegrass
called young Buckeye to. him, and
peremptorily demanded that he re-
move the party of skaters from the
pond. The Ohio boy resented the
manner of the Kentuckian and de-
manded his reasons for interfering
in matter which was no concern
Of his. .,.
ssNo concern Of mine" repeated
the chivalrous southerner,i in aston.
ishment. II should SAY it is. Why,
first thing you know one of those
young ladies will break through the
ice. and then I'll be drowned" .
< This is the attitude of the Ameri-
can policeman. When danger comes
it is inevitable that he take the ini-
tiave, as no one else will do so un-
less it be some expoiiceman who
chances to be on hand at the time
and in whom tho instinct of heriosm
is as lively as when he was but a
year on the force. He confronts
death in many forms. The midnight
runian waits for him with a blud-
geon in some dark alley, or the vim
dictative italian turks with drawn
knife, to stab him in the back. Thugs

Rome. July II 33 20 a. m.-Prof.
Mazzoni late last night expressed
frank astonishment at the pope s
holding out so long. The pope,
speaking to DR.. Mazzoni, said that
he was weary of the hopeless struggle,
and begged to be allowed to die peace
fully, without useless stimulants,
which could only prolong life few
hours at best. The pontiff was es-
pecialiy solicitous for those about
him, and often apologized Tor the
trouble his long illness has caused
them, doing so with touching deli
cacy which moved his attendants to
tears.
The pope was restless before mid
night, but then fell into a deep,
lethargic slumber, which his attend
ants feared might prove a sleep with
out an awakening.

At 2 :05 a. IN. DR.. Lapponi again
had recourse, with beneficial effect,
to an injection of caffeine, which had
not been used for some day because
of the pope's dislike for it. Up to

explanation Of the pardon granted TO
John Nance, negro sent to the PEN

for criminal assault, whose recent
release by the governor has caused
some criticism. Justice Calhoon
was the prosecuting attorney for the
Yazoo district thirty-three years ago
and prosecuted the negro for the al
legged crime. He states that at the
time he entertained grave doubts as
to the negro's guilt, especially as he
was permitted to live long enough to
come to trial, and there was no senti-
ment against him whatever in the
community. and no disposition to dc
violence. The law at that time die

his own behalf, and Justice Calhoor
states that there is no question what

the pardon after the negro had serv
