PAUL JoNEs's FIRST COMMAND.

Returning home from the West In- dies after his voyages as slayer, the yellow fever broke out on the ship on which he had taken passage. The cap tain and mate died, the crew was re- duced to few sick men, but John Paul defying the fever as he defied every enemy, would never go below except to aid the suffering, but spent his days in the rigging. In the end he took command of the ship and brought her into port with a crew of five men. The owners of the brig allowed him sum- mary salvage and made him master of their finest full-rigged ship. As cap tain of this vessel he made three full voyages from Whitehaven, her home port, to Virginia and the West Indies. It was on one of these voyages that, having a difficulty with burly, mutin- ous muIatto of the crew, he knocked the man down with a belaying pin. Some weeks after the man died, and Captain Paul, on his return to White haven, was arrested for murder. This incident was favorably made much of, by class of English writers who were fond of portraying Paul Jones as mere } 8dS pll ctLSS ct M lScl1lo OL LAlS sea. But an English jury summarily acquitted him. He testified in his own s behalf with the frankness and fearless ness of his nature. When asked if he had not used more force than was necessary to preserve discipline, he an- swered May it please this honorable court, may say that it became nec- essary to strike a mutinous sailor. Whenever it becomes necessary for a commanding officer to strike a sea- man, it is also necessary to strike with a weapon. I may say that neces- sity to strike carries with it the neces- sity to kill or completely disable the lnutineer. I had two brace of loaded pistols in my belt and could easily have shot him. struck with belaying pin in preference, because I hoped might subdue him without killing him." Later in life Paul Jones threw over- board the cat-o-rine-tails on every American war vessel he took command of and treated his fighting sailors with a regard and consideration unknown in those rough times.-Lynn Few Sprague, in Outing.

 Those are only very few of the things policeman has to do, and as for murder mysteries, gigantic bank robberies and strange purloinings of princely jewels (aside from those be- longing to the theatrical profession) we'll, they are as scarce as the afore- said jewels. Of course it is usually the policeman on the post, where a murder or other crime is committed, who is the first officer to appear on the scene, but he is soon relieved by his superior and men from headquarters, and then he generally goes back to telling per sons to pull up the grass or shovel the snow, according to the season of the year.
 Say, never get it into your head that policing properly is such an easy thing as most persons think. And that Sherlock Holmes business? We'll, the man who wrote it admits it is q pipe Baltimore Herald

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in Preserying Hsalth and Beauty.

| 95 t r=. I Iz 4fE
 Nearly everybody knows that char-t coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleans ing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; 1t is not al drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines, and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on- Hons and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and irn-, proves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which, collect in the stomach and bowels; itl disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they tGtI0 SOlllpO0C0 VI llLC 1AA4GGl EOWuSlCN willow charcoal and other harmless an tiseptics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting log enges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. ss5J#ss5 <, ss, s%s
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and pIrer blood, and the beauty of 1t is that no possible harm can result from their continued use. but, on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: T ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores; and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet be- lieve get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any Of the ordinary. charcoal tablets"

THE POLICE"

Nothing Like Sherlock Holmes or
 Nick Carter in Real Life.
 Merely mention the police" and there arises in the minds eye of the general public visions of Sherlock Holmes, Cap Collier, Old Nick Carter, murders, mysteries and crimes horrible enough to make ones hair curl; but ask the average policeman about them and unless he is gifted with a Don Quixote imagination he will give as much of a grunt of disgust as the police regulations allow. and tell you how many citizens he has notified to put their sidewalks in repair or how many he has informed that the health of the city requires that they yank the grass out from between the cobble- stones in front of their homes. Talk about your Sherlock Holmes and the other dope finds they're all pipe dreams of the men who write those things" said an old policeman If catching murderers, bank robbers, burglars, yeggmen and all kind of desepradoes was all we had to do, then this life would be dream beyond compare. It's nothing to go into a gang of 'yeggies' or any other des- perate crowd, where man is liable to get shot, compared to notifying a prominent citizen that he must pull the grass up in front of his house or have his pavement repaired, or in winter time that he must have the snow and ice cleaned away from in front of his house. Why, if a so-called criminal or suspect shows fight or takes shot ' at you, you have the same privilege in dealing with him, but when you go to the house of a man who is in any 1 way prominent, or thinks he is, he will
 act toward you as if you were crim- inal, and he will threaten to have the buttons cut off your coat and make
 you lose your job. No, sir, police man and one of those pipe dreams l Sherlock Holmes are not in the same department.
 E Say, do you know that policeman Ihas to know more about city ordi- nances than regular lawyer? That's Ia fact. If a lawyer is retained in a lease regarding some alleged violation of the law he can take his time to read up iuIl IL, DuL d SVuu pulISSlllSIll leIS IO have all the city ordinances, regard ing the general public health the So-
 ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty tc Animals and everything else under the sun at his fingers tips and he has to Isee that they are enforced, too. Say, there's not much Sherlock Holmes work in telling man to have the
 snow cleaned off his sidewalk.
 "And, say, did you ever see a great lbig. 300-pound copper leading dirty face, little brat by the hand and a lcrowd of about 300 other dirty-face kids following behind yelling, Hey baby Wouldn't that remind lyou of Old Nick Carter, with two re-

SQUARE DEAL TO REPORTERS.

We are inclined to the opinion that those who resent the supposed intrus- ion of reporters are usually men of mere momentary importance, and near- ly always are quite mistaken as to the functions and the value of the repor- ter They may be lifted up by the se- lection of the post which they com- mand for an unusual purpose, or they may be gossiped of as the possible in- cumbents of a public office, or they may be concerned in a marriage, or in birth or in a death which, for one reason or another, is justly and pro- perly interesting to the public. The idea that possesses such persons of temporary interest is usually that their privacy is being intruded upon; that they are being annoyed and per- secuted for the qualification of the curiosity of the reporter himself, whose unpleasant duty it is to gather and present what the public desires to know. Such 8 person may rest assured, however, that the reporter is no more pleased with the task of visiting him and interviewing him than is he to re- ceive the agent of the newspaper. The reporter is very intelligent servant of the public. r. '' .

Two new books that boys will take delight in are just issued by the John c. Winston company, Philadelphia. They are in the new series of three volumes by that prince of story tellers for boys Edward s. Ellis. The books just out are "Deerfoot in the Forest" and "Deerfoot on the Prairies." The series is based on historic facts. The time and incidents are those of the Lewis and Clarke expeditions, and the reader unconsciously absorbs along l with the story the spirit and history of
 those stirring times.
 Exciting adventures and perilous sit- nations usually incident to such works are here present in full force. They gratify in an unobjectionable way the love on the part of boys of vivid de- scriptions of deeds of strength, cour- age, or cunning, but are entirely free from unhealthy sensationalism.
 MT. Ellis, in these books, as in his former ones, manages his savage very ! discreetly, is guilty of as little blood shed and the horrible generally as is possible in such themes. His boys are \ decent, manly lads. The hero, Deer \ foot is as courteous, brave and beauti-
 ful as any of Coopers heroes, and in addition is possessed of a never-failing fund of humor.
 ! The plot of the first of the series, "Deerfoot in the Forest" consists in
 the rescue of the two boys, George and Victor Shelton, who had gone on a
 hunting expedition, not knowing of the
 Indian uprising there. Deerfoot a Chris
 ttan Indian, hearing of their danger, starts in pursuit, and arrives just in
 time to save their lives. The three friends now try to get back, but meet
 with many hair-breadth escapes before
 the never-failing strength and cunning
 of Deerfoot finally surmounts all ob- l stacles.
 '"Deerfoot on the Prairies'' makes a
 long and dangerous voyage from Ohio
 to the Pacific coast with two young
 friends and a guide. Deerfoot's cour-
 age and resourcefulness bring the yttle
 party safely throughevery one of the
 dangers which fall thick and fast on
 them, and some of his feats seem al-
 most miraculous. Their adventures
 take place about century ago, when
 every species of wild beast and tribes
 of hostile Indians menaced their path.
