FOR POLICE LIEUTENANT

foe who was too much for him, and
the police reserves rescued him from
a ditch into which ex-Alderman John
ellis goat knocked him.

ten Island differ from the fields in
that ON the roads the grass grows
only three or four feet tall. Early
at 1 a. m. strobe along brayely until
a white object leaped into the air
and then landed solidly between the
lieutenant's belt and his gold badge.
The impact deprived the policeman
of everything but his breath, and
that he expended in a yell for help
that was distinctly heard in the New
Dorp station and in ellis hotel.
The ex-Alderman and the men
from the station found Farley al
most unconscious In the ditch that
runs along the road. The goat was
munching thistles. Farley managed
to tell the story of his adventure
and was taken home. The ex-Alder-
man appoligized and was allowed to
take his goat home.

at least you ought to be thankful for,
and that is our pastors kindness In

GUINEA PEOPLE.

They are not nomadic. but live In
wellbuilt villages, where even the
streets are paved. Some tribes use for
this purpose the bark of trees. while
others simply place palm leaves over
the roads to keep the dust down.
Their villages and houses are kept
clean and near each house gardens
are planted, in which many kinds Of
flowers are grown. These people are
extremely fond OF flowers. and always
wear some in their hair. They sue
cessfully practise agriculture. and
their decorative art is of considerable
beauty.
Strange to say, nothing at al, like
any form of government could be de-
tected. There are no chiefs. and the
only thing approaching known irsti-
tutions is a sort OF council of the old
est men of the tribe. These, however.
do not rule the people. but their ad-
vice Is asked In important matters.
Notwithstanding this. the utmost good
order prevails. everything being done
according to custom.
Their family life Is peculiar. Every
person dwells alone; the young un-
married men have separate houses.
the wives have their own homes quite
apart from their husbands. When a
married man wishes to speak to his
wife it is not etiquette for him to go
to her house and call on her, nor to
speak to her when he meets her In
the village. He must inform woman
neighbor of hers that he wishes to
talk to his wife. and the go-between
then arranges meeting for them In
the nearby forest Taking these facts
into consideration 1t is not surprising
to learn that domestic peace is never
disturbed. occasions for quarreling be-
ing extremely rare.

race the Kaya-Kaya. because on meet

The Hague, Holland-The latest

Philadelphia.-The latest device for

victim, and, after propping open his
mouth with small oblong block, to
tell him that he is on the verge OF

method was found to work effectively
