Dayton, O.-James Dcsch, q con-
tractor, residing in Cincinnati. leaped
from the window of an incoming c.,
H. & d. train, dreaming that the train
was being held up by robbers. That

ted. surrounded him and brought the
dazed man to his senses. He arose
from the ground while still asleep and
started to run, but was stopped and
awakened, when the somnambulist re-
allied what had happened.
He was removed to Central Police
station in a patrol wagon and Police
Surgeon McKemy attended to his In
iuries sewing up several cuts about
the head and body. Later he was re
leased. Desch leaped through a win
dow of the coach, and his face and
body were badly cut, while his cloth
ing was ruined. The train was JUS

would have been killed.

In fact the Chicago force to-day is one which de-
mands that man be soldier, athlete and min
ion of the law combined. During certain months
each year examinations are conducted and dur
ing the fiscal twelvemonth 5000 men were ex
amined Of this number about one-half were sue
cessful. First the doctor looks over the appli
cants, then the physical examiner takes the men
in hand and puts them through the most rigid
tests required anywhere in the world. After that
the written examination is given in which each
applicants education is brought to the FORE
Civil service tests severe and absolutely
honest. 1t is up to the applicant himself to pass
the tests. You cannot be appointed upon the
Chicago police force by possessing acquaintance
with man with pull" So great has been the
success of the system installed by President Ell
ton Lower of the civil service commission and his
aides-H D. Fargo and M. L. McKinley-that to-
day every city Of any size in the United States
has its eyes focused Gpon the details and meth
ods employed by the Chfcagoans.

in the work of giving Chicago an efficient police
force great strides have been taken by t.a city
toward making its citizens absolutely safe Irom

Physical Examiner Edward G. Westlake is in
a measure responsible for bringing out the best
bodily qualifications in the men who are turned
over to him for inspection.
Says Examiner Westake:
stage fright during the physical examination
is one of the worst setbacks which the tests meet.
When a rnan becomes 'fustered,' knowing that
good job depends upon his every movement, it
is quite natural that the best he knows will not
push itself to the surface. Hence it is the duty
of the examiner to alay the fears of the applicant
as much as possible.
consequently have found that it helps men to
do their best by applying suggestions and occa-
sionally allowing man to lay off for few mo-
ments until he can compose himself. When the
period of embarrassment passes, as 1t invariably
does the best that is in the applicant is bound
to come out The men take the tests purely upon
their own merits and perhaps the most severe OF

Maj Boudets charges perform manual OF
arms, which, If anything is more complicated than
that which the soldier is compelled to learn. one
of the prettiest sights imaginable is the series OF
evolutions which these policemen carry out.
There some tax-paying Chcagoans who scof
at pretty evolutions, but they Maj Boudet claims,
are not of the far-seeing class. He points out
that the drilling Of policemen in this manner
teaches them to handle themselves with grace and
ease and makes them ADLER in the duties they per-
form.
Only recently the beauty squad, about 100 strong,
gave miitiamen of the First Illinois infantry, sta
toned at Chicago, drill exhibition in the big
First Regiment armory. So perfect were the eVo-
lutions that even the soldiers were awed. The po-
licemen formed revolving wedges, hollow squares,
fve-pointed stars, circles and other ingenious for
nations, the perfection of which had taken them
months to accomplish.
The squad is formed the order Of a military
company There is Maj. Boudet at the head
first and second lieutenant and the regulation
number of sergeants and corporals.
Gaining a place on the Chicago police force to-
day is perhaps as difficult feat as the average
man of middle age would care to attempt, and for
that reason the department is composed of the
best physiques that the city can furnish. The same
is true Of the fire department, the efficiency OF
which is evidenced by the fact that during the
past fiscal year every confagration in Chicago
was put under control before the fire could spread
to adjacent buildings.

licemen undergo, follows:
