Oldest Active Policeman
Peter Yetter Familiarity Known 'Old Pete,' Still
On his Beat, Despite His 70 Years.
Mr. Yetter Says That He Owes His Health and
Strength to Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey

"Old Pete.'' of Trenton Ave. and Dau-
phin ST., Philadelphia, is acknowledged
to be the oldest policeman in active duty
in the United States. ..
He is a familiar figure in the northeast
section Of the Quaker city, his beat being
in the heart of the business section Of
Kensington. Everybody Is acquainted
with him, and the fathers of sons whom
he good naturedly scatters when they
play mischievous pranks declare that he
looks scarcely older than he did when
he chased them quarter Of century
ago.
Mr. Yetter says his witness and robust
health are due to the judicious use Of
SDuffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and plenty
of outdoor exercise.
When 'Old Pete became policeman
on Sept 5, 1874, times in the city were
far more strenuous than they are now
Then there were several hard gangs Of
young men who rejoiced in such appella-
lions as the Snapper Gang" the "Fish-
-towners,'' "Pulverizers." But it was no
joke for the policeman, for in those days
there were no patrol wagons, and the
men were compelled to walk their pris-
oners to the lookup, in momentary dam
ger of being set upon by prisoner
friend Old Pete recently wrote us as
follows:
''Sirs: You can have my endorsement
of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey with pleas
ure Its medicinal qualities are O. *

HELPS SOUTH ST. PAUL
Rate Adjustment Will Be Of Benefit to
Packing Interests.

Under the order, just issued by, the
adjustment Of freight rates will SO
affect South St. Paul as to make it as
profitable to slaughter livestock there
and ship the products to other parts
Of the country as to ship the livestock
to Chicago to be killed. The result,
railroad men say, will be to materially
increase the receipts Of the South st.
Paul yards.
The order compels the roads to re.

fornia with her father. What Lulu
rides every morning. The poor donkeys
didn't get much rest, for the little
folks kept them busy all day. Lulu
was kind to them, but some of the
children were not. Lulu liked donkey
named Pet best of ALL
One day Lulu's father put her in the
saddle and Pet kicked up. When Lulu
was lifted off and the saddle removed
great bleeding sore was found on
the poor donkey's back. Lulu felt very
sorry for poor Pet and said, Papa,
don't want to ride today, but please do
not send Pet back to the stables"
why not, LULU" said Mr.. Brown.

Mr.. Brown was pleased to see his lit
tie daughters kindness to the poor
dumb donkey; but he wished to know
if Lulu would deny herself for Pet.
"Well, Lulu" said her father, 'if
you have any money, give 1t to the
man when he comes for the donkey
Tell him you wish to keep Pet all day."
IT have the money you gave me for
candy" said Lulu. "Will that pay the
MANI"
1t was enough and was given to the
man. Lulu kept the donkey all day
She led Pet to the greenest places in
the yard, and let the animal eat the
grass. She divided her apples with Pet
and carried the donkey pail of water.
At night Lulu told her father she
had been happy all day. He made hec
still happier by telling her she could
keep Pet every day while she was in
the mountains.
Lulu kissed her father and was soon
fast asleep. She dreamed of riding in
a little carriage drawn by six white
dOnkeYS.

IN the early spring time, when the
snow and ice begin to melt and
form ponds in shallow places and
low ground, the boys are thinking of
boats, RATS and other things with
which to navigate these waterways
caused by the spring freshets.
1t is not always easy to build boat
quickly, for it requires time to match
joints and make them watertight, os
well as to construct a safe boat that
will hold several boys.
And then, perhaps, a boat could not
be used at any other time of the year
excepting when the thawing ice and
spring rains make artificial or tenn
porary ponds and lakes.
For that reason a raft is the best to
make, for it is always possible TO get
some logs or long pieces of heavy tim
ber and lash them together to form Il
float.
In the drawing of simple raft the
arrangement of four large logs is
shown, with three smaller but longer
ones lashed fast on top of them. The
large logs can be eight or ten feet long
and foot thick. The upper ones are
six or eight inches in diameter and fif-
teen feet long.
Before lashing the logs together it
would be well to cut laps in the top of
the lower logs and the under side Of
the upper ones. as shown in Fig. J.,
and when they are brought together
they will not roll and strain the LASH
ings, as they would if left round.

She was afraid he would go, so said
earnestly:
mo, Dick, you mustn't, please. Be-
sides, 1 don't want one of those in the
store at Happy Land They can't shut
their eyes and they haven't any clothes,
and I don't know how to sew
But her wet eyelashes told another
story, and Dick wagged his head know
ingly
"Never you mind"
Long before Elsie was up the next
morning Dick was away on his bronco.
There was a look of determination on
his brown face as he faced the cold
wind, murmuring:
"I'd face wuss nor this for the poor
little kid, with no children to play with
and no doll baby. I'll get her one or
bust, and bet I get it some duds too"

through the lonely plain in glittering
silvery lines he saw, almost at his
horses feet, bundle. He picked it up
and found to his intense surprise that
it was labeled For Elsie.' From one
end protruded pretty waxen face and
feathered hat. and as he squeezed it in

of the barrel. When the eXpressman
came to remove it he said to himself:
Seems to me that top amt put on
very strong. Oh, well, l guess it will
stay" The barrel was roughly put
from his wagon to the ferryboat; from
the ferryboat was put on the last
freight car of a train. The car was
nearly full, but the barrel was squeezed
in near the door. All that day, all
that night all the next day the train
sped westward. and all the time the
barrel tilted and swayed near the door
of the car.
At a small station far in the west,
one night when the door was left un-
guarded for a moment, a stealthy
tramp crept up and slid into the door
when no one was looking. Smuggling
down between the barrel and couple
of boxes, he fell asleep, and the barrel,
pushed still nearer the door. tilted and
swayed. 1t was almost daylight when
the tramp woke up They were on the
great plains and had stopped to take
water for the engine from tank. As
the engine started again the jump
slipped open the door of the freight
car. and without troubling himself to
close it again, ran away into the gloom.
And the barrel, swaying, and freed
from the pressure of the door. tipped
over and rolled gently out. From the
top of car a brakeman saw what had
happened and stopped the train.
Here's messl" they cried, as they
lifted the barrel, whose top had fallen

A larger and better raft is shown in
the drawing of a sailing raft.
The lower logs are fifteen or eighteen
feet long and five cross logs are at
least ten feet in length.
They are lap cut, as shown in Fig. 1,
and securely bound with rope and long
spikes.
Across the top logs, and running
parallel with the under logs, four
joists are made fast with spikes, or
