THANKS TO ''F0WL TIP"
 THIS JOB WAS SAVED

History has repeated itself. As the geese saved Rome from Gallie sack, so the Ealiiaceous bird saved a police man of Montgomery from disgrace.
 Tuesday night. as Captain Miles Smith, upon the exercise of his un- ceasing vigilance, patrolled the streets on the lookout for laxity on the part of his underlings, there came to his notice, in the glare of Monroe street lamp, the sight of an officer engaged in the absorbing devotion to Morpheus. Soundly asleep was the minion of the law, in direct violation of statutes and regulations.
 "Ha," quoth the wary wearer of the brilliant epaulets. Asleep at his post He shall be punished" And he unto whom the unfortunates of the police court bow in awe, stole nearer the prostrate one to deal a summary pun ishment. to strip the unconscious one of the badge of authority,
 Nearby, a box containing ducks. the property of Monroe street green grocer, stood, the only object within sight. The ducks, to all appearances, were like the policeman, dead to things mundane. But appearances are de- ceitful. and the fowl, failing one who steals at night to pluck them from perch and roost, broke forth in loud acclaim spa nGa. .aa.
 Startled. the captain jumped.Aroused the sleeper leaped to his feet, wide awake. And one of Montgomery s finest was saved the disgrace of a visitation of his superior while under the prohibited charm of sleep.
