legged negro murderer here, the pris-
oner did not seem to be in the least
concerned about it. The detectives
walked up, informed Gather that
they wanted him and to consider him
self under arrest. The negro greeted
them as he would any other stranger
and calmly and quietly held out his
hands to be handcuffed.
When the city hall was reached
and Gather given seat in the court
room while the jailer prepared his
cell. he drew deep breath. $50 you
say ! gave you hard chaser" he in
quired of the detectives. 81 did not
think you all knew me. but it was no
a surprise TO meet up with you" He
talked as If it was very ordinary
happening Of no importance.
Those Who are unacquainted with
the inner workings of the police de-
partment little know of the real work
of the Man Behind the Buttons. and
do not appreciate him as he should
be. The public sits and reads its pa
pers telling of the capture of some
celebrated criminal. little dreaming
of the many weeks often spent by the
police in working Tuses and tricks to
effect the fugitive's capture. 1t Is
hard work to police correctly. and
The policeman does not always get
his just dues from the public.
A good illustration of the work of
uniformed police is seen in the arrest
of Bernard Schulke, whose real name
is Suite. a young man who is now in
Jail pending trial for passing worth
less checks TO secure clothes and
hoard Officers Aaron Hurley and
Henry Singery learned that Suite had
started out travelling for st. Louis
candy house and located him first al
Jackson. Tenn. He slipped them there
but was again located at another Ten
nessee town, but managed TO get
away again. All this time Suite was
in total ignorance that he was be-
ing watched and sought after. When
he hit Fulton. Officer Hurley went
down after him but was again disap-
pointed-his man had gone.
Several days later a friend came
here from Cairo broke" and the Of
flcers "staked" him for his breakfast.
The friend" told the police that he
had seen Suite in Cairo and believed
him still there. The police paid the
mans way bacl; TO Cairo and in addi-
tion paid him to meet Suite and in
troduce him to some Cairo police
man. The police then telephoned the
Cairo officers and the next day Suite
received MS Introduction and was ar
rested.

A well known resident of the North
Side recently played an unusual joke
on a neighbor. fohd young mother
The person in question went TO TN;
neighbor and borrowed the baby pre-
sumably to show IL to friends who
we're calling at his house. The baby
is an unusually beautiful infant. and
the mother felt pride in the interest
taken in the cherub. She readily con-
sented to let the child be taken away
for a short time.
Some little time after the infan
had been taken away the door bell
rang and the young mother answer
ed the call. she opened the door and
saw the neighbor to whom she had
given the child standing near the
edge of the porch holding the baby
tenderly in his arms.
Without word of warning he toss
ed the baby towards the mother. II
was fully ten feet between the two
and the infant was pitched several
feet high into the air TO insure safe
landing in the mothers arms. There
was a piercing shrek when the moth
er saw the infant leave the neighbor's
arms and she nearly tainted when the
supposed child hit the floor.
When she finally collected her wits
to snatch the child up or
the floor she found that it was moth
ins more than a bundle of rags dress
ed in baby clothes. The neighbor had
only fitted ont the dummy child to
play joke on the young mother.
William II. Tooker. who plays the
part of Lynch. the mulatto lieuten-
ant governor in "The Clansman." is
an artist who knows what it is to
reap the laurels of his profession
without enjoying them to any hilar-
ious extent.
He has been playing in the south
and his part is one that is very re-
bulsive to most people. The faci
that he plays it well is all the worse
for him, because the more real h.
makes IL, the more unpleasant ii be-
comes for him. In some places ih
the south the Kissing, threatening
exclamations and general feeling o:
indignation became so pronounced,
that he was forced to go beforc he
curtain and assure the hot-heads and
others carried away By the play, that
he was only playing the part for a
living. and did not in any way in
dorse the sentiments he had to ex
press. Fortunately this called the
audience to its senses and he was
able to proceed with more equaniml-

MILITARY ACTIVITY
IN FRANCE EXPLAINED

Paris, Jan. 4.-The ambassador of
one of the powerss said yesterday that
careful inquiry had convinced him
that the recent revival of French mil
itary activity which has given rise to
alarmist reports was due mainly to a
change from the military methods of
M. Berteaux, the late minister of war,
to those of NJ. Etienne, the present
minister of war.
:. NJ. Berteaux belongs to the Social
lists, whose cardinal principle is oppo-
sitiOn to war and reduction of mill.
tary expenditures. Those naturally
resulted in inactivity in military cir
cles.
NJ. Berteaux's precipitate :resigna.
ton has brought M. Etienne in con
troll of the military administration,
and he Immediately adopted q vigor-
GUS policy, not for belligerent pur-
poses, but in execution of the general
desire to have the army in the perfect
state of efficiency it lacked.
1t is believed that while Morocco
may have accumulated the need fol
military alertness, yet the chief cause
of the recent military activity is the
adoption of M. Etienne's energetic
policy of having the army ready tc
fulfill its functions whenever required
