At the depot the other day a brake
man observed n gentlemen. closely
followed by yOungster, rushing VI
to the train which had just started
The brakeman courteously assisted
the gentlemen into a seat. and lifted
the boy in beside him. As he came
out the car, he felt pair of hands
clutching him and a voice hiss in his
ear:

a pOliceman's life is not a happy
one when n lovely woman grips
him by the throat, tickles him with

seat of wisdom. The only consolinp
thought that the copper" can derive
from all this lies in the fact that wo
man is VIGOROUSLY a bad shot.
