tice Stein, Saturday morning, with
his head swathed In bandages. He
said he received his injuries by being
beaten with a club In the hands OF
Patrolman William j. Myers, who la

beaten the prisoner.
Laskowski said he was walking
near Perrien Park, Friday afternoon
when he saw the officer driving q
couple of men from the park. Their
only offense consisted in reading
newspapers, declared Laskowski. Las

With that the officer turned on Las

and told him 1t was none of his bus

kowski says that without warning or
provocation. Myers assailed him with
his club, beating him to the ground.
did you beat this man?" asked Po-
lice Justice Stein.
Eyes, l did, but thought he was
going to strike me- said Myers.
"The officer may have been unduly
excited, but that does not excuse his
conduct" said the court. People
have a perfect right to read news
papers In the parks. Otherwise, We
would have to have force Of 10000
policemen to enforce the law. This
citizen was within his rights In re-
monstrating with the. officer"

ordered him to move on. The two
had some words, and, Wummel says.
Myers struck him with his club and
knocked him down.
"You are altogether too free with
that club said the Judge, the case
is dismissed"
Officer Myers victims both say they
will ask for warrants, charging as

THE SMART CHILDREN

The other night I took a walk, and
called on Jinx, across the block. The
home of Jinx is full of boys and girls
and forty kinds of noise. Dad Jinx
was good and kind and straight; he
let the children go their gait; he new
er spoke a sentence cross; he never
showed that he was boss, and so his
home, as neighbors know, was like
the Ringing wild beast show We
tried to talk about the crops; the chill
dren raised their fiendish yawps; they
hunted up Thomas cat, and placed
| it in my stovepipe hat; they Jared
me with a carpet-tack and poured ice
water down my back; my long coat
tails they set afire, and this aroused
my slumb'ring ire. I rose, majestic
in my wrath, and through those chill
dren moved a path; / smote them
sorely, hip and thigh. and piled, them
in the woodshed nigh; l threw their
father in the we'll, and fired his cot
tage, with a yell. Some rigid moral
lists, hear, have said my course was
too severe, but their rebukes cannot
affright-my conscience tells me l
was right.

THE SONG BIRDS OF FLORIDA

There is something tenderly sweet
in the call of the Florida hooking
bird, but to awaken in the morning
after long ride from the cold and
dreary north, and to hear this mock
ing bird without your bedroom win
dow, is to submerge yourself in per-
feet flood of sweet sentiment.
Those who live in Florida regard
the hooking bird like they do all of
their other riches-a commonplace
thing, and they do not know how
lucky they are.-New Florida.
The song birds of Florida have ever
been considered a most charming as
set, the hooking bird being the most
popular of them. Maurice Thompson,
one of the best authorities on bird life
in America, in comparing our mock
ing birds with the European nightin-
gale, which is it's only near-rival, says:
eff were going to risk the reputa-
ton of our country on the singing of
hooking bird against a European
nightingale, should choose my cham
pion from the hill country in the
neighborhood of Tallahassee, or from
the environs of Mobile. I have found
no birds elsewhere to compare with
those in that belt of country about
thirty miles wide, stretching from
Live Oak in Florida, by way of ITALIA
hassee, to some west of Mobile"
The hooking bird is a source of
pleasure to visitors and residents of
Pensacola. His songs are always in
spring to the lovers of nature and a
source of joy to everyone.-Pensacola
Journal.
