They had been discussing the vari-
GUS duties of a policeman at the station,
and the subject of runaways had come
up for incidental consideration. =,
.''''The way to stop runaway" the cap
tain had said, lis to catch the horse by
the bit. Never yell at him, for that
only frightens him the more, and OF
course the worst thing a man can do
is to get out in the street and jump
around and wave his arms. Just keep
your head, take things cool and easy,
and catch him by the bit. You might

Policeman Barney Flynn had asked at
this point.
Certainly" the captain had replied.
"Thin It Is me that hopes they'll put
'cur-rb-bits, with handles to thin on
livery hor-rse in me disthrict," had
been Policeman Flynn's comment.
Nevertheless, these instructions,
given half jokingly in a general con-
versation some time previous to the
events here to be recorded, became firm
1y impressed on the policeman's mind.
He referred to them repeatedly in his
conversations with his wife, and on one
occasion, when she was endeavoring to
lay her hands on their elusive boy Ter
ry, he suddenly called to her: "Ca-atch
him be tn bit!" The subject seemed to
worry him not a little.
"Wondher," he remarked on another
occasion, IF t was in his mind I'd thry

any way is good enough for him.
CIT is WRONG" he thought, as he
caught the tail-board of the wagon az
it went past, "but t is betther than noe
thryin' at ALL"
It required both strength and activ-
ity, but Policeman Flynn succeeded in
swinging himself over the tail-board,
and worked his way along the wagon
box to the seat. Here he found that tho
reins had fallen over the dashboard.
and he had to climb over the seat to get
them. He was just reaching for theH,
and the watching pedestrians were
starting cheer for his pluck, when the
horse stumbled and fell.
"An' d. We know" he said in telling
about it afterward, eth very first
thing knew I was sittin' ashtride tn
horses neck, an had tn dashboard
with mel had that same"
At the time, however, he had no
leisure to think of that feature of his
trip. He merely knew that he was
astride the neck of struggling horse,
and that lot of men were giving him
| advice from safe distance.
"Sit on his head" roared two or
three.
why, ye divils,' sputtered Police
man Flynn, in the midst of his wrestling
match; cd We think wa-ant FIR to sit on
his hoofs?"
Hold him down." was another cry
from the crowd
Don't let him get up!" advised some
others.
Hell get away!" shouted the doubt
full ones.
IF We think so, why don't some of We
SMART lads put salt on his tail?'' de-
manded Policeman Flynn, as he finally
got settled on the horses head, and
thus was able to hold him comparative
~ quiet. "Ye're bra-ave cr-rowd, We
are, f'r sure" he went on sarcastically,
''shtandin' there, afraid to give me a
ha-and whin have him down. If amy
iv We ha-ave horses iv ye-er own ye'd
betther sell thin an blT sheep f'r to
| dhrive."
Just at this moment the captain
pushed his way through the crowd, and
few minutes later they had the horse
on his feet, still nervous, but reasonably
quiet.
| AS result of his experience Police
man Flynn was sight to see, especially
as he hadn't even had time to brush off
his uniform. The captain looked him
over and laughed. -.
what were you doing ont there on
his neck, Barney?" he asked.
The glance that Policeman Flynn
gave his superior was reproachful, but
the tone of his answer, at least, was
respectful. -.
II was in tn wagon fir-rst,' he said,
"but I ray-mimbered ye-er worlds, an
1 I come out here f'r to ca-atch him be

nevertheless, the duty Of a policeman
to obey his superior's orders.
It was month or so later that his
trial came. Shouts and cries attracted
his attention one day, and before he
fully realized what was happening, a
runaway horse attached to light

~ There is some queer history locked up in the
files of the various government departments. A
few days ago the appointment clerk of the treas

Horace Greeley in 1865 recommending Cornelius
Vanderbilt for appointment as member of the
cotton claims commission.
The photographer of the treasury department

detect any of the familiar features of the silent
soldier. :
In the bookkeeping division of the Office of

When, in June, 1909, Lieutenant
General Arthur Macarthur, having

ice, retires from the office which he
assumed yesterday in succession to

exceptional meritorious service in the
