POLICE SLAVES OF A BABY.

Period of Two Weeks.

Period of Two Weeks.
The officials of the Children's So
ciety breathed a sigh of relief when
| they got rid of a 2.year-old baby boy
who was on their hands the last two
weeks. There have been hundreds of
2-year-olds in the society rooms since
the organization was founded, but none
ever compared with the little unknown
who made things so lively that there
wasn't an hours peace while he stayed
In the place.

In Corlears Hook park, where he had
been abandoned. He was turned over
to cop, who took him to the Delan-

Although unable to talk, he made It
known that he wanted drink of water
and couple Of cops on reserve made a
rush to wait ON him When the tot
drank his fill he let the dipper fly and
caught Policeman Sullivan over the
eye. He laughed in glee when he saw
the cop rubbing the sore spot and
straightway bawled for all he was
worth until the dipper was handed
back to him. A second time he let it
rip and 1t crashed through a window
of the back room.
Seeing that he had done some de-
struction, he appeared to be happy for
a while, but once his eyes rested upon
the checkers and dominoes on the ia
BILE he slid off the bench and toddled
over. The big cops DIDN'T like the in
terruption Of the game, but there was
nothing to do but quit then and there.
Samson gathered all the checkers and
dominoes together and then let loose a
fusillade. Laughing and chuckling. he
threw every one at the cops, who
lodged and fled from the room.
Left alone, Samson toddled across
the room and kicked over every cuspi-
dor, overturned benches and chairs and
with a mighty effort tipped the heavy
table. The sergeant, hearing the rack
ct, rushed In and just nailed Samson
In the act of hurting a brush through

cused of cowardice for not standing
their ground and the doorman was
threatened with charges. Two blue
coats were detailed to watch the young
