Or. MendenhaII ReCiteS Their
Good Work At The Recent
Strike.
WATCHMAN IN HISTORY.
Intlmates That Present Salaries Are Too
Small, And Then AIIudes To The
Temptation Which Beset Them-Invites
Congregation To Visit Police Head
quarters-Says Jail Is Disgrace.

In his sermon yesterday, Rev. DR..
Harlan @. Mendenhall, of the First
Presbyterian Church, paid a fattering
tribute to the efficiency of the local
police department, and mentioned
particularly the excellent service rend-
cred by the officers in connection with
the strike at the Copper Works.
DIR. Mendenhall took as his subject,
Watchman, What Of the Night?"
He began his discourse by quoting
from the Bible the history of the first
watchmen and telling of their various
duties and hours of service. He said
that the topic of his sermon would
indicate nowadays the question:
"What time is it. {" In olden times
the watchman's service, he said, was
known by different names every three
hours. Dr. Mendenhall talked of the
different watchmen and sentinels in
times of peace and war and praised
their courageous work at all times
Leading up to the present time he
gave data upon the police records of
arrests for the various crimes in Paris,
London and the leading cities in this
country. He spoke of the bravery of
our policemen in time of fire and riots
and commented upon the courage of
the Chicago police during the time of
the freight car riots some years ago.
DIR. MendenRall then related the
history of the police of this city, be-
ginning at the time of our forefathers
when the mep were known only as
watchmen. Referring to the time
when our police force was organized
in 1879 he Said that James Flaherty
was mads chief with three men under
him. 8e also called attention to the
faithfH1 service OF the present force,
men Rioning the long service of Chief
Bud ke, Sergeants Durham and Multi
gan He praised the prompt action
of he Chief and his men for the way
they handled the recent strike at the
CopIS Ser Works. He mentioned the
variB bus duties of policeman.
D1 Mendenhall said he was at a
loss 10 see how they work successfully
on $b7. 30 a month. He also called
atteH Htion to the many temptations
which beset policeman and said he
was 1T loss to understand how an
oficeF could always restrain his feel
ings. He invited the congregation to
visit police headquarters and see the
many instruments with which crime
had been committed in this city. He
declafed that the condition of the Jail
was a disgrace to this city. He ex-
pressed the hope that some day this
city, qike others, would be able to
pension the police.

STRANGE TASKS FOR WOMEN
Butchers, Veterinary Surgeons and
Drummers In England.

Butchers, Veterinary Surgeons and
Drummers In England.
John Bull has been to some
pains to gather figures about
queer employments for women in
his domain, and the results are
surprising. 1t appears that in
England and Wales alone there
are nearly $4,000 women boot
makers, 1929 rOpemakers, 4,730
saddle makers, 5,140 who make
living by gardening, $3.50 butch
ers, p, 707 who keep soul and body
together by tending bar, nearly
5000 cycle makers, and-the high
est figure of all--117,640 tailors.
1t appears that there are women
bailiffs, bOatmen, boiler makers,
bricklayers, iron founders, plumb
ers, plasterers, slaughterers and
veterinary surgeons. One woman
in the kingdom is set down as a
dock laborer, and another as a
road labOrer, while 279 are under
takers and - are shepherds.
One bright, pretty Irish girl,
who managed 80 escape the cen,
sus altogether, has lately
hranched out for herself as a com
mercial traveller in whisky and is
supposed TO be the only woman
t"whisky drummer" in England, if
not in the world. She is Miss Vic
toma short daughter Of Tip
perary property owner whose re
duced circumstances on account of
land agitation made it necessary
for the girl TO earn her own living.
An Irish member of parliament
got her a place in the thirst APP
peasing department Of the house
Of commons and her fame in that
sphere of national activity
brought her the surprising offer to
30 out on the road. She hesitated
at first, but finally accepted the
offer, and she has now become an
object of much criticism and curl
osity. She has succeeded, how
ever, in minding her own business
so well that she is making a great
success of it. Oddly enough, Miss
shorts employer is a man named
Tall.

Does 1t Depend Chiefly Upon the
Eye to Dstsct Danger?

Does 1t Depend Chiefly Upon tn,
Eye to Dstacs Danger?
The proposition that prong
horned antelope depend more
upon the eye than the nose or ear
to detect danger is quite new to
me as il is to yourself.
Indeed, | should express an ex'
actly opposite opinion, says a
writer in Forest and Stream. l
suspect that wrong Inference
has been drawn from the conspic-
uous and even laborious use to
which the antelope does make Of
its eyes. But it has always been
my belief that he does so because
his sight is so far from keen that
careful examination is needed
before that particular sense con
veys definite confirmation of the
warning first gained through 9th
er sources. Hence the sO-callcd
curiosity" of the species. | do
not profess any exact informa-
ton as to the quality of their
hearing, for the other protective
senses, be they what they may,
usually put the ANIMAL on guard
long before the ears could come
into use.
AS two cases on the affirmative
side for smell, | cite these: Long
ago. when antelope were more
plentiful and less wary than now,
!, being down in an arroyo on soft
earth, where made no sound that
could be heard 20 feet off, and
whose banks were everywhere
much above my head, was discOv.
cred by band OfantelOpe a t least
500 yards away, and directly down
wind, a careful study of the stu
alton afterward being enough to
entirely eliminate the possibility
of either sight or hearing being in
volved.
Again, in October, 1895. with
three mounted men and five pack
behind me, rode mp the
trail from the ford across the Vel
lOwstOne near the mouth of Black
tail creek, to strike the road from
Uncle John Yancey's-peace to
his ashes to the Mammonth Hot |
and up on the open roll
ing country we rode up on two |
bucks and three doe antelope. |
within 30 yards before they found |
us out. A strong wind was blow
ing right in our faces, which of |
necessity would carry both scent |
and sound away from them and
leave them largely dependent |
upon their eyes. 1t ia true that |
these antelope were in the park
and had some idea of safety, but
even in that secure haven give the
nose chance and pack outfit
will not ride within short pistol
range of the prong horn before
discovery.
