Officer eDan Than

Patrolman Nat Dean of West
Homestead, a suburb of Pitts
burg, sighed for other worlds to
conquer the other night. He
was weary of yanking poor steel
workers to the calaboose for rails
ing hades at christening or get
ting spiflicated on 40-rod whisky.
What he wanted was to catch
some heightened gamblers. Four
or five steel kings playing table
stakes would have suited him ex-
actly.
Patrolman Nat Dean got to
wandering off his beat. He passed
the court of justice run by
Squire William c. Coggin. He
heard strange rattle. A gentle
manly voice said: You're shy
again."
Dean broke in the door and
ended the poker game. When he
identified the players he was
stunned, but he marched his
catch to the town hall. In the
bunch were J. B. Walton, a coun-
Gilman; Police Chief Lips, PATROL
man Harry Laird, Sub-Patrolman
e. G. Smith and r. A. Marrow,
republican county committeeman.
The whole town Ia stirred up.
Laird has resigned. The council

councils are like all the others;
they're always investigating some
thing or other. Nat Dean doesn't
know whether to be proud or
scared Of his Job.

THE TOUGH LOT.
AS the warm days of spring

The little boys in school peek
out
And see the glad hills far away,
And long to run and romp and
shout.

Their hearts are where the

There Is no Joy on the dull page
OF grammar or geography.

They ache to dive and splash and

kids.
