And I first saw the light of day

Necker."
The Star-spangled Banner. "oh
long may she wave"
Der the land of the free n the
home of the brave" hummed the re
porter.
Timely Tip Might Have Helped.
you say you were tipped off not to
go to the auditor or the treasurer?
Why didn't you pass along the tip sc
that our fellows would stay away
You know they couldn't help but put
their feet in it,"
That's telling. We talked it owe,
with Secretary Cox and others. Were
told 1t might not be a wise move. Why
didn't your leaders go to your corn
missioners and others. You'd got good
advice then. Charley Smith would post
you"
They're not our leaders. and never
will be. They are fumblers. 1 mean
the committee"
We'll, you can catch more flies with
molasses than with vinegar. anyway"
Right you are. but you sent q man
to Acting Auditor Brady about the
pay"
Whom did we send?"
Jimmy Meehan.-
did not: Jimmy went of his own
accord and had a sensible talk on the
subject. Didn't go to the wrong place
with a brass band. Jimmy is no
slouch."
Maybe he carried a billet"
Maybe your men were armed with
field guns. They did a storm-the-fort
act at all events"
What can you expect from sea law
yers anyway"
"Since you mention names, I'll tell
you something You can't scare. Mr..
Brady or Mr.. Guenther."
Know It," broke in the 1reman
Know 1t. and am glad of it. too.
They're all right. We are with them.
Eddie Burke says they are all right
and are doing the best they can and
will help us as much as they can.
Eddie says don't fall out with alder
men or other city officials. Use moral
suasion in the right direction, he adj
vises."
That's the way Johnny Baader puts
it, but why don't you say commissioner
instead of 'EddieT"
Don't have to except in company,
Used to play ball with Eddie. He was
some player, too, but why don't you
say Commissioner Bladder instead Of
johnny"
Don't have to for about the same
reason. Went TO school with Johnny
He was some scholar at that"
but what does Johnny Bladder say

their rent on the first day Of the
month";"
THE hurry-up wagon Cor them. And
what Toe Eddie say?"
Hasn't Anything ON PumpernickeI.
Don't know; 1 board"
"Oh, it's pu~mpernickel and sauerkraut
for yours"
Just as good as your corned beef
and cabbage"
THE devil with casting up. Tell me
what Eddie says about those landlords
who are so pressing about the rent"
Turn the hose on them. Aside from
that you gave us the dinky-dink."
Huh"
Huh; yourself"
Just let me tell you some fire de-
partment7history that you know moth
ing about. Your man Bender called at
the auditors Office some time back and
wanted to kno q whole lot about PEN
sion business. Assumed to know all
about the laws himself, Auditor For
man referred him to Andy Brady,
who speedily opened Bender's eyes as
to law. Andy is posted. Martin Hoppe
attempted to tell Andy what going
into effect on the first of the next calen-
dar month meant. Andy promptly en-
lightened, or tried to enlighten Hoppe.
Bender said in a recent meeting that
Andy could not read and understand
the pay ordinance. Think of that crack.
And John O'Toole said something about
a committee going to the City Hall and
giving Andy Jesse. Didn't, know about
that, did you? We work the Bertillon
systemic
81 heard as much, but how did you
get next? Andy gave them Jesse in
stead. Am glad of it. Andy won't
stand for a hoId-up. AS I said before,
1t will all come out. Can't hoodwink
those reporters. Never know where they
are. Guess everything will turn out
all right; hope so, anyway"
Hope SO myself. Sure it will turn
out all right"
II must be going now. Am booked
for house watch in the morning." re-
marked the fireman.
And dog watch will be my trick to-
morrow" replied the cop. well, good
night and take care of your house"
Good night. Look out for your dog"
and they separated.
The reporter then fell into a peaceful
sleep.
