A PLEA FOR LANGDoN.

These happy hills of Langdon thrills
The hearts of old and young,
For all around is beauty found
These joyous hills among.
The blue o'erheaG so bright is spread
1t fills all hearts with cheer,
But yellow mud comes in flood
When gentle Springtime's here.
The red bird sings by bubbling springs
That streaming toward the sea,
Run down the hills in ripping rills
Mixed with the merry glee
OF children gay who romp and play
And feel no worldly care.
FROM Natures wealth they're given
health
With LangdOn's balmy air.
OF LIES rich joys our girls and boys
Are given a full share,
And ne er a place where charming grace
Finds womanhood more fair.
But one thing more we ask BEFORE
Our days grow dim and dark,
We all request, dear Mr.. West
To let US have a park

Piper Report ArOuSeS
Chicago Police Force
Assistant Chief SAYS Patrol Sergeants Must
Look Up Their Men and Latter Must
Do Their Duty

so far as the force is concerned, 1
have been in New York during the
Strong. Van Wyck. and Low administra-
tons, and I've seen men that were no
better than the worst Chicago copper
A policeman is human, and one could
pick flaws in any force.
A plea for the patrolman was made
by Inspector LAWN. who remarked that
the hours of service are so long that
man does not last more than dozen
years at outside work. At the Harrison
Street district sixteen hours Is the aver
age day. as against eight in New York.
The report is wrong In one or two
instances Where men VINO never uIi i
are listed as being in saloons taking
whisky and beer.
Every man knows how to manage
woman until he gets married, said
Chief of Police O'Neill. when he had
been told the substance of Captain
Piper's report on the Chicago police.
Ideas and Practice.

police force is not what IL ought to be,
But every reformer viii tell you how
he would manage the department If he
we're chief. / had some of those ideas
myself till / got to be chief. and then.
like the man who gets married, 1 found
out.
las long as the present quality of hu-
man nature prevails it will be next to
impossible to make policemen travel
their beats properly. The fact Is that
the condition OF the force in Chicago
is the condition everywhere. including
New York Everywhere the continual
alienation of parties in power makes
il the task of the chief to do the best
he can for a temporary period. He can
effect no stable reforms. Piper himself
told me that New York policemen are
no more attentive TO duty than their
Chicago brothers"

LARGEST IN THE WORLD
Plants in Detroit and Lansing Employ

With the rapid development of the

manufacture OF automobiles, and their
product is well known in every country

This enterprising concern owns and
operates the largest automobile plant In
the world; the branch at Lansing, To-
Gated on tract of ffty-six acres. has
a total floor space OF over 210,Oo0 square
feet and employs 800 men The other,
situated In Detroit. has nearly 100000
square feet and employs nearly zoo men.
Parts Are Tested.
one of the most Important features OF
the product of the Olds Motor Works
plants is the thorough test given 20
every part as well as to every COM
pleted machine. before it is allowed 20
go upon the market. At Lansing the
company has a half-mile track which is
used for testing the machines, and in
the winter time, when this is not avail
able, they make use of One-eiShth-
