allows himself to be outclassed in the
scattering OF holiday sunshine and
'early on Christmas eve he was about
his usual tricks of anticipating Santa
Claus by some hours. He loves the

than the tiger loves Tammany or
cat loves liver. And what's more, he's
not ashamed Of it, Every once in
a while he insists on making the Anal
gamated Association Of city hall en-
ployeS happy and it occurred to him
that even a policeman ought to have
token of remembrance at Christmas
time Consequently ne sent to the city
marshal last evening a fine box of CT
CARS with the following card: From
T. A. Jobs to the City Marshal and
his noble band of sleuths who have SO
effectively guarded the city of Phoe-
nix and patiently endured the short
comings of a grumbling old city re-
corder, 10 these many weary months.
