FROM THE NEWS
FILES OF II YEARS AGO.

the police department is given the CO.
operation and support of the courts
and the papers. Mr. Cassidy was in
the police service OF this city for 20
years and during that period he did
not say as much for the public ear as
is embodied in the above sentence.
Now that he is a private citizen he
feels free TO express his opinion and
place the responsibility where, in his
belief, IL belongs. Mr.. Cassidy says.
There IS not a man on the police
force who Will not carry out any or
der given him by his superior Off
Ger, but after he has performed his
duty the public interests will not be
conserved unless the law is fulfilled
by the courts and the public is ad
vised of the character of the offense
and the identity of the offender" His
service merely brings the case up to
the courts. He can not punish the Of
fender or hold him up to the contume-
ly of his fellow men. If the courts
do not do their duty, the moral and
legal effect OF the police service is lost.
For instance, If a gambling house is
pulled the police department has done
its whole duty when it produces the
Offenders in court and furnishes the
evidence on which the raid was made
and which was developed thereby. If
the court then fines a few of the Of
tenders and releases the others, the
result is not only farcical but it is dis
couraging and depressing in its in
fiuence on the police department.
Then when the newspapers dismiss the
whole affair with a brief and detail
less mention, the moral as well as the
legal farce is complete.
Now" said Mr.. Cassidy, 'if the
courts will fifty punish every offender
against whom case is made, and If
the newspapers will publish the names
of the people arrested and convicted
of Offenses against the law, / will
guarantee that crime and vice will be
reduced TO the minimum in South
Bend"
The valentine that never came is the
one that was held for postage.
There is only one degree of friend

There is one thing in favor of the
proposed Chicago ordinance requiring

fected; the cost would be light.
In snow there is work, in work
there is money in money there is
food, in food there is life, in life there
is hope; hence snow is a symbol Of
hope.
To the trained ear of the mechanic
or the factory superintendent there is
harmony and rhythm in the sound of
machinery properly operated, and so
perfectly attuned does the expert ear
become that the workmanship need
not be inspected to discover flaws
step out there quick" said the
manager of a large factory TO an Of
fee assistant, land bring me the board
the man is cutting on that first ma
chine"
II thought So" he continued when
the board was brought and he found
the work imperfect. Il could tell by
the sound he was not doing it right"
This is true of a saw, a planer, or
any of the many machines used in our
factories in shaping wood or iron for
use. A saw will sputter and scold
when it is being OvercrOwded or clang
if fed too loosely, but if the man be-
hind the machine understands his
business and tends to il, the whirling
disk seems like a child happy with its
toys. Just so with a planer 1t growls
and groans it's distress and makes dire
threats of humiliation If the feed is
irregular but when the material
comes to it's liking and it's glittering
knives flash in their orbit like bolts
OF lightning it drones in diapason a
song of contentment and peace.
There are some men you know you
ought TO know better than you do.
This was borrowed from a man who

A curiostitian has figured out that
if we got every thing we wished for
we would not have anything.
The manufacture of articles that
are used in common everyday life de-
velop many strange occupations for
men, women. boys and girls, in which
one or more of the senses are utilized
and so highly cultivated that persons
so occupied become known as experts.
One of the specialists incident TO
the manufacture of furniture, sewing
machine cases and that class of goods
is a blister hunter. In the prOduc-
ton OF fine goods veneer is used. and
in applying il to the cheaper mater
ials used as a base. there are places
here and there where the glue does
not hold ii and il swells up into what
is called a blister. These may be
large enough TO be apparent to the
eye or touch of any one who can see
or feel but they are more likely to
and hand can detect them. The ear
also performs a part in this work. If
the eye fails 10 see a blister, the OPP
orator still has his ear and sense Of
touch TO aid him in finding flaws.
Passing the finger over the surface of
the article he feels a slight Irregular
~ or his ear detects peculiar sound
that indicated a hollow space. He
then pricks the veneer. works liquid
glue through the pin holes and presses
the refractory shell into place.
Few people take a drink when they
need it, but many do when they don't.
There are men who wish and
scheme for less and less work until

Gentlemen. II we are 20 have wo-
