THE POLICE HAVE PUT ON
 THEIR WINTER UNIFORMS

That curl was the pride of the force. it is light. glistening. and just as twisty-w -wisty as you please. all the men admire it and occasionally when one of them has done especially fine work. Captain Miles Smith of the police force will allow that extra good man to run a finger through it. But now. alas the curl has to take a back seat. for few days ago big box was brought into, police headquarters. Cantey and McDade brought it up and set 1t before Chief Taylor's desk but Chief Taylor has been in police work for years and is now or pretends not to be, interested in such things. Scale brought out a hatchet and Lowe got piece of board to prize with and slowly the blanks were taken off the top of the box.
 The first thing that come to light was long blue something with big brass bottoms on 1t. It was Patriek's new winter coat. Patrick wasn't present so Hill put 1t and switched up and down before the mirror admiring himself in the glass. Then new helmet was taken out and Graham clnched on to it. but 1t was too small and with one fell swoop Ring wiped it off Graha's head and damned 1t down over his own little pink ears
 Then garment by garment and hat by hat the big box was emptied and every one was arrayed in new clothes. Then the trouble started. Everyone wanted to go on duty so the public might behold and admire. For a moment 1t seemed like a strike was imminent The off duty men claiming the privilege of walking double beats with those who were on, and the men on duty protested that they would have their beats to themselves and the second relief could go and wait Then the off duty men claimed that they should go on anyhow because there were q lot of pickpockets and things coming into town to operate durins the fair and they wanted to pot them
 Chief Taylor at elast straightened out the matter by ordering that each post should be relieved every three minutes and the whole force stay on duty for forty eight hours. This dictum settled the. matter and everyone was happy And that is why the people saw all the beautiful new uniforms on the street ''towunst" Saturday.
