May served as a regular policeman
for just one year to a day, which is the
probationary period for all policemen.
He was previously a substitute. and
even before then had a taste of police

gamblers. to rid the streets of undesir-
able female citizens, and to run errands
for the men in the police department

his dog and to patrol his beats himself

DRUGS TAKE PLACE OF

Two men were drinking at Broad

sion of a musical comedy show at the
theater next door. One man was an
a Scotch highban. The other was a
druggist. His tipple was glass of
vichy and milk, says the New York
Times
did you ever notice the. intense So
briefly of the average bar tender?" asked
the amateur sociologist II have never
seen one in the slightest degree be-
fuddled, even during a rush time like
this. With liquor all around them,
and with every temptation to take a
treat with every Tom, Dick and Harry
who comes in, they seem to steer clear
of the booze stuff. 1t seems to me
like a wonderful instance of self-con-
troll"
The druggist smiled cynically into his
glass of vichy and milk.
You are right in saying that the
average bar tender passes UP the joyful
waters" he said. but don't make the
mistake of supposing 1t is a case of
self-control The substitute he uses is
far more demoralizing than the real
thing"
"Dope?" asked the amateur sociole-

Exactly" replied the druggist. The
about him: at the same time he is con-
stantly under a certain nervous strain.
He needs a stimulant, but he realizes
that his job would be gone If he took
to the booze. So he takes a substitute.
Haven't you ever noticed the pasty
look and the indolent, blase air of
the bar tender in place like this.
for instance, where everything is at
high pressure?
And the bar tender is far from being

would not be able to accommodate his
brother, but the johnson end of it was
quickly gathered together and the bet
recorded. This is the largest individual

enormous call for the much wanted
slips was so heavy throughout the day
that Rickard and Gleason were notified
and Immediately advised that the ONCE

all who wish seats may be accommo-

buy seats in San Francisco, as the en-

PRICES OF HORSES
AND MULES Go UP
Auto Has Failed to Reduce Cost
of Animals

4 statistician has figured il out that
whereas there were almost half mill
lion horses in London decade ago
there are now not more than 100 700.
AZ is deduced from this that the horse
is losing his place in the world and
that he will eventually disappear.
City people have habit of decid-
ing questions from their own view
point without regard to what is go
ing on elsewhere. New York is woe-
fully ignorant of the rest of the coun-
try. SAYS the Charleston News and
Courier. Every horse might disappear
from London and every horse from
New York. yet this could not be taken
TO mean that the horse had lost his
place in the world. As a matter Of
fact. horses have never been more pre-
cious than they are now They cost
more than they ever did. at least. with
in recent years. Time was when a good
horse could be bought for $50 or S75
but even the meanest plug cannot now
be purchased for any such sum. Mules
and horses cost money.
II may be that the production of
horses in this country has decreased
ana that the high prices are the re-
suit of this. but the probabilities are
that while the production Is greater
than ever before IL has not kept pace
with the demand. We venture to say
that there are more horses on farms
today than there ever have been be-
cause there is more farming and the
advent of the steam plow and other
mechanical machinery has not yet had
any general effect.
