From Forest ard Stream


Our guide allowed me to assist him in
preparing the breakfast. though l fancy
my assistance might have been easily dis
pensed with. He sagely remarked that
If l was going to rough il might as well
begin learning now as any time. 1t was
astonishing how appe<izng meal he pre-
pared with the very fewest conveniences.
For instance. he made bread In the sack
Of flour without using bread pan He
followed out cavity in the hour, poured
in water, added salt and baking powder
in proper quantities. then proceeded to
mix the dough. He did another thing In
his cooking that amused me very much.
To prevent the coffee boiling over he
placed a small willow stick ACROSS the
open top Of the pot. The lesson In
physics soon followed. The coffee dubbed
and then rushed up to the top of the pot
as though it was going to boil ever the
sides and extinguish the fire, but as soon
as il touched the willow 1t subsided like
some sentient thing.

in the police aud fire departments of the
greater city. From 1877 to 1892 only
about nine appear to have had tho
courage TO take the examination for
the police force. and every one Of these
passed and served with credit. We are
Indebted to William L. Ryerson of
Yonkers. N. Y. for valuable data on
this subject. 1t will be a revelation
perhaps to many who have not kept
themselves informed on this subject.
The first Negro appointed on the police
force in New York was Christopher
Gibbons. who was six feet four inches
in height and n yeritable Hercules. He
served twenty-five years as q regular
policeman in the city Of Brooklyn and
was retired on pension.
At one time 1t was a popular belief
that the Negro was moral coward
and would not fight. The contrary Is
true, for when the Negro as soldier
or policeman Is assured that the M
ton or the state will sustain him he
will fight at the drop Of the hat. even
IL he has to drop the hat himself.
In an effort to discourage Negroes
from seeking appointment on the po-
lice force Chris Gibbons was sent
out on beat where the worst gang
Of Irish toughs In Brooklyn assem-
bled dnily and nightly.
\ It was secretly believed that IL Glib
bons was sent to this beat the gang
would disfigure him so badly that his
remains would defy Identification and
that other Negroes would take the cue
and look for jobs elsewhere. So he
was sent to It to be done up But
his record shows that he was not that
kind Of man. He went after that
gang OF ruffians as ordered and took
two of them, the ringieader and his
understudy, one under each arm, a
distance Of two blocks to the station.
