Ing tunes, and at little distance por-
tion OF the music" sounded like a steam
whistle OF a mill or a steamboat There
is a young man who Is employed nights
at the Boston Store who is a fiend for
going 10 fires, and this being a WELL
known fact some OF his associates put
up n little job on him. He was enjoying
a little luncheon al the cafe at 1901 West
Minister street when one OF the jokers
came In and said that there was a big fire
at Thornton. and also asked everybody to
listen to the whistles blowing" The
Boston Store man did not wait 10 finish
his lunch, but bounded for n Thornton
car. He returned In about an hour and
said that there was no fire, and when
told TO listen to the whistle (the music
box he did so. Then there was some

HE THANKED THE PATRoLMAN.
1t is not often that a member of the
police force is greeted with thank YOU

noticed a man on Rough street who was
unable TO navigate, and the patrolman
thought that the best place for the inebr-
ate was the station house When accost-
ed by the patrolman the man told him
that he wanted To go 10 the home OF
Mr.. --- at Edgewood. "All right" was
the patrolman's reply, and a few mo-
ments later the 500 chariot from the sta
tion rolled up TO the box and the individ-
ual was assisted into II. When comfort
ably seated he told the driver 10 take the
man to Mr.. ---, Edgewood. Then there
! came another ''All right from the driver
| and II was then that the man in very
| polite way addressed Patroman Feeney
and thanked him; called him real good
man." and some day he would come back
and pay him for his trouble" and for the
| carriage" BY the time that he had
| finished his story the chariot reached the
station and the man was locked up.
