McCarte. having just reported for duty stood In
line with his fellow patrolmen in the assembly
room of the Bush street police station, the lieu
tenant instructed the watch to be particularly on
the look out for milk and paper thieves
Policeman McCarte suddenly remembered the
warning Of his superior officer as he was gazing
at the reddening sky over Oakland and he heard
q hearty peal Of laughter issuing from some point
halfway down the block
Hearty laughter at dawn when the laughter Is
not of q maudlin character Is an extraordinary
phenomenon. This laughter had the tone OF
sobriety, Of appreciation and seemed to proceed
from a mtrth that bubbled up like mountain
spring In the winter season.

how Lord Lytton once asked Lord Duff

of his success in conducting inter-
course with eastern princes. MY glass

the glass eye and watched them with
the other" lie may, of course. have
meant his monocle. adds Sir Thomas.
who also describes the effect of Lore
Duferin's odd right eye upon him
self:
when he spoke to you he dropped
his monocle and fixed you with
steady gaze which made You feel as If
you were giving yourself away TO one
whom no human sympathy would
move. When you had finished what
YOU were saying he would go on
watching YOU with the same steadi-
ness as If he were listening now to
what you were thinking. You would
wabble on the thin planks on to which
in your confusion you had stepped. and
then in the uncomfortable silence You
would say something YOU did not in
tend. and Dufferin seemed to be wait

1t seems like borrowing trouble to
point out that next years sugar crop
may be calamitously small, and the
price of sugar in consequence appal-
lingly high, because but 10 per cent of
the sugar beet seed used in this coun-
try for planting purposes is grown
here. Europe's supply of seed may
be too meager to help out much, and
besides, it will be exceedingly costly
to obtain. The proper remedy for such
disaster, if it comes, should be to
stop candy eating.
