According to the above list this city
has as large u police force as the av-
erage city but several of the cities
have motorcycle patrOlmen. 1t Is ar
gued by Police Supt. Gormon, and 9TH
ers that this city should have one or
two motorcyclemen. 1t is found that in
other cities o.e motorcycle policeman
covers the beats of two and three pa
trolmen. 1t is also said by persons who
are In touch with the police depart
lment here that there should be man
at police headquarters to answer emer-
gency calls. OF course the patrol dri-
yer Is always at headquarters. but he
.cannot answer anything but wagon
calls A patrolman with a motorcycle
stationed at headquarters could ans
wer hurry up calls and quickly ar
rive at the place from where the call
came.
Mayor Zimmerman has often declar.
ed that motorcyclsts and autoists
speed too fast in this city. A motor
cycle policeman could easily ascertain
the speed maintained by them. by the
speedmoter on his own machine and in
this way could compel observance of
the speed limit.
The mayor asserts that too much
money is being expended by the police
department. 1t is stated that one mo-
torcycle. which costs but $3.50. would
reduce the pay roll of the department
from $500 to 5000 annually, and that
two machines would reduce it from
$1,000 to $500.

THE FIRST AERoNAUT.
KingsIsy's Queer Idea and IN Embar

kingsIsys Queer idea and IN Embar-
raising Coincidence.
Charles Kingsley was at q dinner
once with the aeronaut Coxwell. It was
shortly after Coxwell and companion
had made flight in which they had
risen SO high that CoxweIrs. hands
were frozen and he had time only to
tear open the air valve with his teeth.
A. c. Benson tells the story in The
Leaves Of the Tree" in the North
American Review. After dinner Kings
ley suddenly said:
Il have often thought that the first
man that ever went up in a balloon
must have been a d-dentist."
Some one laughed and said. what
an extraordinary idea."
II don't know" said Kingsley. "a
man who is always looking down
peoples throats. and pulling their teeth
about, and breathing their breath, must
be inspired with a tremendous desire
to get away and above 1t ALL"
Coxwell leaned forward and said
very good humoredly. "Well. Mr..
Kingsley. it is true that am dentist.
DuI IL WAS uDl ludt tAoI AA0OC INC oS
come an aeronaut."
My d-dear Mr. Coxwen," said
Kingsley, flushing red. Il am sure l
beg your pardon. l had no idea it was
so. You must have thought me singu-
larly i'll hammered to make joke OF
it."
Kingsley could not recover his spirits
for the rest Of the evening. He hated
giving pain to any human being more
perhaps than anything in the world.

NOTES.

A bill providing that the surplus In
the game fund at the end OF the fiscal
year be turned into the state general
fund has been introduced by Repre-
sentative Giedt. This MONEY was
turned in as license by the hunters
and spOrtSmen and the state has no
moral right to appropriate il for any
purpose other than that concerning
fish and game OF the state. For that
reason it is very doubtful if Mr.. Geidts
measure will ever get out of the COM
mittee, but in any event it is doomed
to be lelegated TO the waste basket.
The senate committee reported the
Canadian reciprocity resolution. men,
orialiZing the South Dakota congress-
men 10 oppose any such attempted
