CL IJR

gTNIE police branch of the Ananias club
met as usual last night with Lieut.
II Charles Dixon, worthy Ananias, in
the chair and nearly all of the regular
members in their usual places.
1t was the night for the report Of the
committee on plans for the season of
1908 and the good of the order, but Ser
geapt Lee Heath, who is the chairman
of the committee, reported that ne hal
been unable to get the members of the
committee together to discuss the matter
before them, and consequently he asked
for further time.
Sergeant Heath was granted time,
after the chairman had rebuked him
properly for failure to- corral the menu
bers of the committee, and the club
then went into an executive session to
consider the application of a half a
dozen or more names for membership.
DIR. Sumner J. Qulnt and DR.. r. H.
Wiley, police surgeons, were elected to
full membership, as was DR.. Eddie II.
Garrett, also a police surgeon, but the
applications of o. II. Gilpin and Sam
Mckenzie were turned down, it being
deemed by the club that their standard
of veracity was not high enough to per-
to them, and they were advised that 1t
would take at least another six months
of probation before they would be ELI
gible. In the meantime they were advised
to study up on Baron Munehausen, the
Arabian Nights, Rabelais and the records
of the Ananias club, and perhaps after
time they might be able to reap the
reward of their well-timed efforts.
1t being a rule of the club that each
new member should relate some truthful
story of his past adventures in order
that the club members might be con-
WINGED that they were worthy brothers,
DIR. Eddie Garrett was chosen to be tne
story teller of the evening.
II can't say" said the doctor, that
you gentlemen have set me an easy task,
for my modest achievements are so far
below those of others of this club that
am afraid 1 am not fit to ass ociate
with you but as you have asked me to
prove to you that l am an Ananias of
worth I will relate to you how l got my
start in life and as a consequence ar
rived at the distinguished position which
| now occupy in the police community.
ut was always my ambition to be-
como a professional man-not a profess
sional Ananias, you understand, but a
professional man. 1 was always on the
lookout for opportunities to achieve nay
ambition.
when I was a small boy I was prac-
ticing medicine and surgery on cats and
dogs and every other animal which i
ran across. I frequently rescued dogs
or cats with broken legs from cruel boys

nursed them back to health and strength.

ut was during this period that visit
ed Catalina with a number of friends OF
my family and almost every day l was
out In a boat riding around and fishing.
zone day while l was out there was
a great commotion near the boat. l was
all alone that day, and presently what
should come up from the water but a
great, big bowhead whale. 1t was
monster, l want to tell you, and at first
l was dreadfully frightened.
II started to row away as fast as
could, but something queer in the
action of the whale stopped me. 1t was
crying, actually crying, and tears as
big as an ordinary BUCKET ran from its
eyes, and it sobbed just like child,
only the volume OF sound was larger.
"My curiosity overcame my fear, and
stopped rowing, and the whale came
right up alongside of the boat. Then
it looked at me with an appealing glance
and opened its great mouth. My, but
that was q cavern to look into! That
mouth open was big enough to take in
my boat and a dozen more like II.
looked into the mouth and noticed some
thing that seemed out of place.
"There seemed to be a great swelling
way back on the jaw of the whale, and
by looking closer / saw that it was an
enormous gum boil, and from the actions
of the whale l rightly judged that it
wanted me to cut that gum boil and
relieve it Of pain
NOW the only thing had was gaff
hook, but 1 made up my mind to try
and do what l could, and so l took the
gait and the whale came up real close
and opened its mouth very wide, and
I stepped from the boat into its lower
jaw and using the gaff hook lanced the
gum boil. My, bur had to jump quick
to get out of the way, but l succeeded,
all right, and finally the whale sank out
of sight, and as / learned, soon washed
its mouth out. Then it came back and
opened it's mouth again and 1 saw
dark mass protruding near where the
gum boil had been. took the gaf and
pulled on this mass for long time,
and finally it came away, and what do
you suppose [ had? Just a slab of baleen,
or whalebone $50 pounds in weight, and
worth so cents pound right here in
Los Angeles
"Say, that was SIS worth of whalebone,
and given me by that big mammal as
payment for my first job of surgery.
I sold the whalebone and started into
college. A few weeks later / was out
boat-riding again and the same whale
came up and opened its mouth again
and seemed to indicate that 1t wished
to get rid of some more baleen. l took
the gaff hook and got out g. slab weigh
ing over 200 pounds towed It ashore
and sold it for $1O7S5. I guess the whale
thought that it had paid me enough for
my surgical job, for although / looked
for 1t frequently never saw it again.
Anyway, I was well paid. for the
money enabled me to pay my first ex-
penses in college, and will never for
get my first patient"
The doctor was deemed to have fairly
won his spurs as a member of the An
anias club and a medal of merit was
bestowed upon him without a dissenting
voice.
After banquet at which Harry White
and Teddy Haupt acted as masters of
ceremony. the meeting adjourned.
