How Policeman Barney Flynn hap
pened to be put ON crossing duty
was mystery to every man on the
force, but why he was taken off was
well known to all of them. The "cross-
ing men" are usually large and of i'm
posing presence, while Flynn is small
and would not attract the attention
Of anyone who did not know of his
prowess. But he was given the work,
nevertheless.
"'Tis me size" he said by way Of
explanation. "Th' big ma-an is a fine
thing on para-ade, but f'r worry give
me tn little felly livery time. TIL big
ma-an can hold up his shtick an get
ga-ay with tn dhrivers, but It's tn lit

Zaar has to go home in a dhray. an
what is Represented be tn five hun
derd dollars ye spind in jew-ry shtore
ye can carry awa-ay in yer-er vest
pocket"
Whatever of truth there may be in
his assertion, the fact remains that
he was put on crossing duty, and he
went about his work with the same
energy that characterized him in all
that he had previously undertaken.
He was the supreme ruler OF that
crossing, and ne did not intend to have
any mistake about it. He was excep-
tionally jealous of his authority, be-
cause his size tended to induce some

PAULINE MORTON TO MARRY.

Morton, to ]. Hopkins Smith, Jr., has
been announced.
Mr.. Smith is the son of J. Hopkins
Smith and Harvard man. class of
1902. He is well known as a yachts
man. He met Miss Morton at tho
White House while Mr.. Morton was in
the cabinet
Mr.. Smith is the son of a retired
capitalist, who is worth many times
a million. He is himself treasurer of
the firm of NJ. w. Kellogg & Co.
Miss Morton is Is years old. Her
father is now president of the Equit-
able Life Assurance society.
Society gossip says the match is
the outcome of a pretty romance, be-
cause Mr.. Smith, although 80 years
old, won his suit against the eligible
young men of Washington society who
wooed Miss Morton in vain when she
shared with Alice Roosevelt-Long-
worth the social honors of the cap
ital.
While she was in Washington and
before she was out of society it was
persistently declared that Miss Nor
ton would become the wife of Thomas
Chalmers, rich young Chicagoan.
Gossip said Mr.. Chalmers ardent
quest was not repulsed by the young
woman, but her father declared that
the two should not become engaged
because he wished his daughter to

of the more thoughtless of the drivers
to treat him with condescension, if
not with contempt, and nothing is so
calling as that.
9TH guardeen iv tn la-aw," he said
to a burly driver one day, "sh'u'd be
threated with ray-spict."
Don't get foolish, little man." re-
turned the driver, patronizingly, at
the same time showing a disposition
to ignore the policemans uplifted
club.
"Oho! ye'd yet ga-ay with me, w'u'd
ye?" cried Policeman Flynn. Come
down out iv that high-chair seat"
The driver only laughed, whereupon
Flynn, by a quick movement, caught
hold of the reins and jerked them out
of the drivers hands.
"Now will We be good" he asked,
cor will ye dhrive me over to tn sta
tion?"
The driver realized that he was at
the policeman's mercy, and surlily
promised to show all proper respect in
the future.
"'Tis not me own dignity, but me
polls dignity I'm upholdin." Flynn
explained afterward. "Ye ca-an't
r-rule at crossin onliss ye insist
upon r-rulin', an 'tis tn injane-yus
ma-an that's tn boss iv things"
Policeman Flynn certainly was in
genious, and he held. the drivers who
regularly passed his corner in sub
lection by his reputation for resource
fulness and the uncertainty as to
what he would do next. When he
finally humbled the contractor who
was always in hurry. and cut in and
out of the line of teams in a most haz-
ardous way, his authority never again
was questioned. Another policeman
would have caught the horse by the
bride some day, thrown him back on
his launches, and cursed or arrested
the driver; but Policeman Flynn never
does things as others would do them.
He bided his time, and finally, when
the contractor was caught in a pocket
and had to draw up, the policeman
promptly stuck his club between the
spokes of his buggy wheel.
81 wa-ant f'r to ta-alk to ye," said
Policeman Flynn.
"Take that out of there or I'll break
IT." exclaimed the contractor.
"Ye'll br-reak tn shpoke iv ye-er
wheel If ye-er hor-rse moves" retort-
ed Policeman Flynn. "An' l wa-ant

time ye go scootin' over tn 'crossin'
may damage me club, but ye-er bug
gy'll go to the ray-pair shop Now
g'wan an don't be blockin' up TIL
r-road."
That settled the contractor, and
thereafter Policeman Flynn was the
,utocrat of his crossing. But he had
other troubles, and his methods were
not always those that would be ap-
proved at headquarters. The advice
that he gave on various occasions
while undoubtedly good, was too sharp
and pointed. A man from the coun-
try secured his attention one day and
told him he had been asked to cash a
check for stranger who had to catch
d train to GO te sick wife.

WASHINGTON.-It is difficult to determine
precisely what it costs his fellow citizens" TO
keep the president of the United States, but it is
safe to assert that it does not figure up than
twofifths of cent for each person in the country
man, woman and child. Compared with the cost
of maintaining the head rulers of many imperial
istic nations the expense attached to keeping the
chief executive of this country is small. The royal
families of England, Germany and Russia spend
millions of dollars of government revenues every
year and besides have set aside for their use large
domains of lands and costly buildings.
Among the presidents of republics the one
who costs his countrymen most per capita is the
president of Hayt The citizens of that nation
