RULES FOR THE KIND PO-
LICEMAN.
BY Fred kohIer, Chief Of Police
of Cleveland, O., the Golden
Rule Policeman"

The best policeman is the one
who manages the offender with
the least display of authority.
The policeman who lacks a
keen sense of justice frequently
Furnishes those who do not de-
serve 1t.
Bear in mind that the people
you deal with are human and
not machines.
A kindly feeling is essential to
the efficient administration OF
this policy
With a large body of men the
chief cannot personally super
wise all; consequently your
hearty cooperation as individ-
uals is asked.
This policy will put you into
position that no other American
policeman occupies today.

achievement of Chief of Police Fred
Kohler of Cleveland, o., as disclosed
In a recent report Kohler believes
that his figures are a clear and con-
vincing demonstration of the sound,
ness of his Golden Rule police the
ory. The people of Cleveland agree
with him. The figures are rather star
Ting. In the first three months OF 1907
the police made 1925 arrests. In 1908
the first year after the Inauguration Of
Kohler's system, the figures were re-
duced TO 2,679 for the same period.
Last years figures. LAOS, and this
years, 1888, tell the story of constant
ly diminishing arrests.
The explanation, keynote and IN.
spiration of Chief Kohler's policy are
to be found in the following extract
from his report:
we have made our police stations
not places where punishment. as usual
ly interpreted, hardens the hearts OF
apparent violators, making 1t easy for
them TO become second offenders. bnt
we have made of them what might be
termed moral hospitals, where advice
good will, protection. correction and II
possible reformation are the watch
word"
In reality Chief Kohlers Colder
Rule policy is the extension Of moral
suasion to mature Offenders against
minor provisions of the law. Az the

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

A saw, pair of long handled prun.
ing shears, short handled pair and
the necessary ladders will fill aver
age needs in the pruning line.
Simply pull up any weeds which
succeed in pushing their way through
the strawberry mulch Generally,
it is best not to hoe or cultivate
the fruiting bed in the spring.
Pruning raspberries and blackber-
ries: Cut out all canes that fruited
last season (should have been done
last falD; also all winter-killed canes.
Shorten remaining canes to three or
four feet, and cut off at least a third
of the long sideshoots. Rake up and
burn all brush.
Don't think the old orchard is past
hope. If too thick, thin out the trees
Clean out all bad limbs. Spray and
cultivate. Feed plenty of stable ma
nure and, my word for it, in nine
cases out of ten, the old orchard
will pay for itself ten times over.
Take care of it, be good to it; it
pays.
Albert Repp, New Jersey, speaking
about apples. says: Taking the total
population of the United States and
dividing it by the number of apples
produced, it leaves but twenty-four
apples for each person from now till
July LIST. 1t Is wrong, when we can
grow such good apples, not to grow
more; 80,000,000 barrels would be but
one barrel each, yet we now have
but 100000 barrels on hand In this
entire country.
Formula for making the Bordeaux
mixture: -Four pounds of sulphate of
copper, four pounds of quicklime, fiji
ty gallons of water. First, dissolve
the copper sulphate. The easiest,
quickest way to do this Is to put the
copper sulphate in a cheese-cloth bag
and suspend the bag in a barrel
partly filled with water. Next, Stake
the lime in another receptacle, and
strain the milk of lime thus obtained
into the copper sulphate solution.
Lastly, add sufficient water to make
fifty gallons.

Grace Van Studdiford at Lexing.

So much has been said and written
about Grace Van Studdiford and her
new opera The Golden Butterfly
that an entertainment of extraordinary
merit may be confidently anticipated.
We are to have the entire production.
which means scenery, costumes and
electrical effects which characterized
the opening performance in New
York. The success that it has already
received has passed the fondest expec-
tations Of the managers. It has at
tracted more attention and comment
than any other comic opera that has
been produced in this country during
the last twenty years. 1t was writ
ten by Americans. and each member
of the company are American edu-
Gated ssingers. There is something
about Miss Van Studdiford and The
Golden Buttefly" which seems tc be at
-tractive to the public. even before it is
presented, invariably as soon as
the seats go on sale all seats have
been sold within few hours, this fact
may be taken as the strongest indica-
ton OF the effectiveness of the pro
duction. The organization is made up
of seventy-five selected singers and
dancers, and special New York
orchestra. The engagement at the
Lexington Opera House is for Mon
day, February 81.
