There are few cooler headed men about
these plantations than Lieutenant Tyler
of the Chaffee Street station. Nor none
chat enjoy life or enjoy seeing others en-
Joy life than he.
Mr.. TYLER was born and bred In Provi-
dence and has never strayed far from
his home and fireside, but yesterday ne
and his chum, who Is none other than
his daughter Florence. thought that tne
proper way to sped the day was TO take
a trolley ride to Narragansett Pier
There was good breeze and Lieuten-
ant Tyler cid not care 10 lose his 81 hat
80 he carried IL in his hand all the way
down and most OF the way back.
Now. one OF the feutenant's vices. IL II
may be called a vice, is smoking, and he
smokes only the best, which anyone can
testify TO that has smoked one OF his
cigars On the way home. or when
they were within perhaps a mile or so or
East Greenwich. Mr.. Tyler thought tnat
he would enjoy a smoke. and told Flor

that he had "toted" In his hand both
ways he placed upon his head, ana no

Mr. Tyler made on effort to grab IL and
what pleased him most OF all was that
young man who sat behind him tapped
him on the shoulder and Informed him
that he had lost his hat. The only re-
ply made by the lieutenant to the
young man was, We'll you can have IT,
for the car was going at a rapid rate.
He rode bareheaded to East Greenwich
and expected 70 do so the rest OF the way
into the city. The car was obliged 20
wait some time at East Greenwich, and,
Judge his surprise. when colored boy
about IA years old ran up along the side
of the car and said: Mister: is this your
hat and the lieutenant OF course knew
that IL was his. but could not for his
life see how any one could make the dis
tance from where he lost his hat 10
the switch.
The lieutenant had the same hat today
but as he gave the boy crisp dollar
bill for his efforts the lieutenant claims
that he is wearing $3.50 hat Instead OF
o $3.50 one.
