Z beat is in Ninth avenue, was passing a
basement second hand shoe shop one night
recently, when he observed geyser OF
shoes pouring up from the shop. Now, that
was no way for shoe shop to act, even
though It be a second hand one, so the
officer investigated.
He found that the apparent phenomenon
was due to entirely natural causes y
woman customer had tried to get out OF
the shop after paying less than the pro-
prietor had asked for a pair OF patent
leather pumps An argument ensued' III
which the customer wrecked the shop and
threw the stock into the street, while the
proprietor. to show that he wasn't IDLE all
the time, pointed to one of the high tenn
pered customers arms, which ne mao
broken.
Late one night patrolman Of the Adams
street station, in Brooklyn, happened TO
peep over the side of an excavation for the
Brooklyn extension Of the subway, at Flat
bush avenue ard Hillary street. About
thirty feet down in the earth he saw a
white-headed old man standing on a ledge
of blasted rock. The policeman knew that
there wasn't such a thing as ghosts, so ne
called down to the old man the question;
How'd you get down there?'
The old man didn't know. The patrol
mans examination OF the place didn't tell
him how the feat had been accomplished
either. There was seemingly no logical way
by which the patriarch could have come TO
be standing there-yet there he certainly
was The old man was taken to the sta
ton. where he told the captain in daZed
way that he thought he had a wife and
daughter but he couldn't be sure about it.
Another form Of mental alteration that the
force has to deal with every summer is the
man who suddenly takes the idea to run
amuck in the altogether.
You may not happen TO know II, but
every citizen has a perfect right TO arrest
any violator of the laws whom he may run

Waldo and the law of the land are all very
explicit on that score. The fact that you
don't happen to wear a blue suit and gray
helmet doesn't prevent your running In
any burglar whom you may catch in the
force of men whom we pay to do guard

of arrest that they have.
Mayor Gaynor made this very clear in a
letter to a certain Miner II. Paddock. jr.

to serve as a policeman without pay. In

No matter how high and wide you are OF
| how much your biceps bulge up when you
| bend your arm, you will come out with a
better opinion Of the man in the blue coat
The fat cumbersome cop Of the irrevo-
cable past has gone his way. Our comic
artists haven't noticed the change-or II
| they have they cling to their portly ideal
| in spite of it.
That the 900-pound policeman has passed
is well. There is little sorrow for his mem
DRY. Other kinds have passed without be-
ing greatly mourned by the long suffering
taxpayers-the Elizabethan style, for in
stance.
In those days the streets of London were
supposed to be guarded at night by watch
men. Many of these ancients were
around the fourscore and ten mark,
and to protect their infrmties from the
sings and arrows Of outrageous weather
kindly government gave them little sem
try boxes, where they could stand and
listen TO the rain. In those olden times
they also had many robust humorists.
one of the greatest Jokes that could be
pulled off was to catch some eighty-year-
old Waterman when his half-blinded eyes
were closed in innocent slumber. overturn
his sentry box and send it rolling with the
venerable Waterman inside down the cob
BILE stones or some steep street.-the sleeper
the better
That style OF cop has slipped into the
fragrant past, but we still have testers OF
that droI type. Among certain crooked
circles it is considered very funny to take
policeman's club away from him and
| beat him over the head with It, The New
York gangs consider this something OF
their national game-neXt in their affec-
tions to rough house gun fights. 1t seems
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1911-07-02

to be something like the impulse that
drives the rabd college student to collect
barber poles and other forms of trades
mems signs.
A little scrap like this is one OF the
things which may break in on the monot-
ony OF beat at any time. In addition to
his sense of duty. there is another strong
factor that encourages the cop" to come
out of a fight like this with his club ram
pant and prisoner in each hand-it is the
sentiment around the station. A patrolman
does not care to come in all tattered and
torn, go up to the desk, salute and report
to the icy eyed lieutenant that a gang OF
boys down the street just took his club
away and roughed him up with il.
You're a lovely policeman" the lieu
tenant will say-only he wouldn't use the
word lovely exactly; 'let bunch Of boys
throw you down and take everything
you've got"
Kids are the one continuous trial of the
policemans life. No matter what age he
is-the small boy is a formidable pest to
the copper. If he is but baby, he gets
lost. And then the patrolman has to gather
him up in unaccustomed arms and carry
him gingerly through grinning crowds to
the station. Most bachelors of the force
would rather be assigned TO capture muir
derer.
When the small boy gets a little older he
gathers together In the streets to ring door
bells or break windows. Fifty per cent of
the phone calls that come to some stations
have their origin in the irrepressible ac-
tivities of kids There is a wide variation
to these reports. 1t may be a distracted
mother who can't find her little one-year-
old.
What does your baby look like, madam
asks the man at the desk.
