"A Iorelgn-look1ng young man walked
into the license department, of the
City Hall and asked Inspector Ward
for a license.
Fill out this application said the
inspector.
But / don't want a moving picture
license" said the applicant. Il got nc
money for theatres"
Liquor licenses on the second floor
suggested the inspector.
The young man walked out and vas
met in the hall by a shy little maiden
with a shawl around her shoulders.
They took the elevator to the second
floor.
In the Excise Board rooms they were
an application.
Booze or MARRIAGE" asked Berla.
Wedding" said Antonio.
Across the hail, and have your dol
lar ready" directed the clerk.
You fellows have a snap travelling
to all parts of the country at the ex-
pense of the county," remarked a
visitor to the county detectives room
at the Court House the other day. And
then you should have heard the bunch
jump on him.
Snap, is it?" snorted Walter God
frey, sergeant of detectives. YES 1t
is-not. How would you like to have
to travel 800 or 1000 miles with a
prisoner in your charge and worry all
the time for fear he would make his
escape. It's all right If you go after
bank presidents or someone like that,
with whom you can travel in a Pull
man car.
But how about going after a for
eigner, who is usually of the lowest
class and being forced to travel in a
day coach with him for from "a to 80
hours? Snap! I guess not!"
John Tully, who plays Cerberus for
many good stories about his brother,
Michael Tully, he who handles we'll the
traffic at "the second busiest. etc."
John it was who gave out the tale,
which has since become one of the
classics of the police department, about
the woman who buttonholed his big
brother and said: "Of1cer, a you
see me across the street," only to be
f1oored by the reply: Surely, my eye
sight is good and l guess that 1 can see
you a whole lot further than that"
Well, yesterday John told Of the lady of
color who sailed majestically up to the
aforesaid big brother and queried:
"Of1sah, do dis yeah street empty into
de Pennsylvania stashun?" Michael
reckoned that it did something of the
kind.
"Confound that automobile" said Ed
die Grant, the architect. yesterday, as.
for about the third time in a block. the
engine gave a cough and stopped. 'I'll
be hanged If / know what is the matter
with it,
Maybe you monkey with 1t too
much" suggested a friend, who was
standing nearby.
"Oh. no." said Grant, "I only put in
a couple of new plugs today, cleaned
out the engine and radiator. fixed the
oil pumps and valves and a few other
things. I amt one of those tinker
ous' kind of fellows that's always do
ing something to a. machine"
