JUDGE ASSERTS SPECIAL
POLICEMEN ARE LIKE OXEN

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.-Judge
Audenried yesterday took occasion
to declare that the mental capacity
of special policemen was comparable
to that of an OK. The case at the bar
was that of William Benson, colcred,
convicted of stabbing Daniel O'Brien,
of South Twentieth street.
After the prisoners conviction the
court tried to get some additional
light on the case and called Barr, a
policeman of the Twentieth and Fed
eral streets station, who arrested
Benson.
"You are like an OK said Judge
Audenried to Barr you can never
hope to amount to anything In the
police department. You will never be
made a lieutenant, although you may
become a special policeman, but spe-
ciai policemen, from what we see
of them here, are like oxen. There
should be special school for special
policemen, because 1t is the worst
service in the city government

RANK cAUGED BY CHEESE

The English, the German and the
Norwegians are great consumers Of
cheese, but the people Of Switzerland
surpass them all The cheese of Ter
matt is so hard that one is Obliged to
scrape it or cut off chunks with a
hatchet, and its use is considered
most important on all ceremonious
occasions.
The rank of Swiss family is
known by the age Of its cheese, and
the more affection or respect a guest
inspires the larder is the cheese which
is cut in his honor. It is said that
there are families in Switzerland
whose cheeses dave from the first
French Revolution, and these are
served only at baptisms. weddings
and after funerals. The larder in
every family is guarded with care.
and the cheese is named.
Upon the birth of a new heir a
cheese is made that takes the name
given him or her, and that particular
cheese is never in any circumstances
cut until the boy or girl grows up and
is married On such occasions each
of the guests take a piece of cheese
from the bridegroom and from the
bride and drinks to their felicity. the
cheese being held aloft.-Tit- Bits.

Edict Goes Forth and Men Are
Saddened.

Curfew will ring tonight in the Y.
M. c. A. 1t will be sounded promptly
at midnight. Then all lights must be
out and all dodgers tucked snugly in
their ebay" SO dictates William J..
Bannister. chairman of the dc rmitory
committee.
The lao men in the dormitory re-
ceived this news today with droop-
ing hearts. Every one received the
notice with his mail. Before deciding
on the curfew Mr.. Bannister con-
suited a few physicians. Then he
looked at the official light bill. The
result was this edict, signed and
sealed with official stamp of the as
sociation:
Dear Sir--Physicians agree that
the average man requires eight hours
of sound sleep every night.
1.-THE committee feels that for the
sake of your health, and also from
the point of economy it would be a
good thing if all lights were out at
midnight.
I'VE hope you will help us enforce
this rule.
Respectfully yours,

Instead OF .Grumbling
Buy Hub-Mark Rubbers

The average person buys rubbers
only when storm is imminent, and
takes what the salesman puts on his
feet without ever looking at the brand.
Then, on general principles, he frets
about the price and criticises the
quality. The whole trouble is--he has
no confidence in his purchase.
Try Hub-Mark rubbers this winter,
and you'll never feel that way again.
They'll give Won satisfaction; you'll
buy them season after season. If
we weren't sure of it, we couldn't
afford to advertise. We depend upon
your repeated purchases TO make
good the cost of advertising.
Get a pair Of Hub-Mark rubbers;
keep them reasonably free from dirt
when not in use, and they will give
you generous service.
