The changed orders are due, 1t is said.

lightfoot Tells How His
Horns Grew.

1t is hard to believe what seems i'm
possible. And yet what seems impos-
slble to you may be a very common
place matter to some one else. SO it
does not do to say that g thing cannot
be just because you cannot understand
how it can be. Peter Rabbit wanted
to believe what Lightfoot the Deer had
just told him, but somehow he couldn't
believe 1t. You see Lightfoot had just
told Peter that the splendid great horns
which crowned Lightfoot's head were
new and had grown that summer. Do
you wonder that Peter found this hard
to believe? If he had seen them growing
it would have been another matter
But he hadn't seen Lightfoot since the
very last of the winter. and then Light
foot had had just such handsome horns
as he now wore, so he really couldn't
be blamed for not being able to believe
that those had been lost and in their
place new ones had grown in just the
few months of spring and summer.
SO when Peter had asked him about
the rags hanging to his horns Light
foot had told Peter that he didn't like
to tell things to people who wouldn't be
lieve what he told them. And Peter
didn't blame Lightfoot in the least. I'm
humbly
Its all true" broke in another voice.
Peter jumped and turned to find his
cousin, Jumper the Hare. sitting near.
Unseen and unheard, he had stolen UP
and had overheard what Peter and
Lightfoot had said.
How do you know it is true?'
snapped Peter, d little GROSSLY, for
Jumper had startled him.
Because ] saw Lightfoot's old horns
after they had fallen off. and | often
saw Lightfoot while his new horns
were growing" retorted Jumper.
''All right! I'll believe anything that
Liehtfoot tells me if you say it Is
true" declared Peter, who greatly ad-
mired his cousin Jumper. Now tell
me about those rags clingine to your
horns. Lightfoot. Please do
Lightfoot couldn't resist that please.
Those rags are what is left Of a kind
of covering which covered the horns

AS he made his rounds he happened

Hansen. being a janitor and not a de-

the man in the furs had fallen. In

Police Relief Association,
Beneficiary of Field Meet,
Formed November 26, 1869

The Metropolitan Police Relief Associa-
ton, for whose benefit the field games
are being given today. is one of the
oldest organizations of its kind in the
United States, having been formed No
vember 26. 1863
The purpose of the association is to
give Immediate financial relief to the
widows and orphans of policemen who
die either in service or after retirement
Since 1907, when the association suffered
a setback, its reserve fund has never been
large. Proceeds from the field meet it is
hoped will sufficiently increase the fund
to enable the association to extend the
fullest benefits for which 1t is organized
At the present time the balance is
less than $500 and for several years it
has ranged between 5000 and $500. An
assessment upon the members of the
department of so cents a month, with
a dollar assessment for each death of
a member, and contributions are the
revenue sources from which the fund is
recruited

sporty young men who occupied that

achy and grateful Hans would go
around and perhaps receive dollar for
his thoughtfulness. He, remembered
once before he had saved a rich mans
prices had risen, and lives might be
worth dollar. Anyhow. he'd try it;
and, besides. the man who owned the
Ashcania might not like it if one of
his best tenants froze to death outside
| the door. If there was any freezing to
be done, let it be done right there in
the house.
So Hans and his load mounted to the
! third floor. leaving fine alcoholic trail
{ behind. He kicked in the door of
apartment Sc and switched on the light.
There was lot of drapery and hang
lngs, and Hans was beclouded for a
moment. as he could not find a bed on
which to lay his burden. However, he
soon saw what he was looking for and
heaVed the young man straight through
the hanglnss. which were very thick
and red.
Then he went downstairs again puff

An hour later he was making his
rounds again and happened to step

picked up the load once more. Mount
ing the. stairs againt to apartment Sc,
he tossed his dissipated friend through
the hangfngs again and babe him go
to sleep and stay in the house for the
rest of the night.
That was after midnight. One O'Clock
struck and Hansen went on his rounds
once more, and again he found a man
lying PROSTATE in the snow. Turning
1t over with a long. furnace iron. he
again found that his little friend from
S. was out once more:
1t ban cold night" he said, and
shouldered the load Once more he
tossed 1t in through the hangings and
asked it please not to disturb him any
more that night
half hour later, a rude policeman
disturbed Hans as he slumbered by his
furnace.
Hey, youse." said the policeman,
one of your tenants is out here in
the snow
Hans stumbled out of the furnace
room. and there on the snow in front of
the palatial and altogether gorgeous
doorway of the Ashcania apartments
was his old friend
What a jag" said the policeman.
Here. help me. Take. his feet. Alto

So they toiled upstairs again and
went into apartment Sc.

Keeps Families From Want.

The amount of money given by the
relief association, together with the
regular pensions, serves to keep many
families from actual want and destitu-
ton. but the depleted condition of the
fund frequently has prevented payments
being made promptly and at a time
when they were most needed.
As explained by Maj. Pullman, the re-
lief fund is for the purpose of meeting
all debts of deceased policeman, and
is not to be COMPOUNDED with the pen
sion fund of the department, which pro-
vldes simply monthly payments to
deceased policeman's family.
The associa ton is nothing more than
cooperative benefit organization
within the department. From the first
the association has been conducted
without any overhead expense what
ever. the members Of the association

Protest Against Eberhart.

The protest against former Gov. A.

to western headquarters at Chicago. A
Minneapolis committee. consisting Of
Magnus Martinson, George H. Selover
and Joseph Allen. the last named pro-
gressive county chairman. waited on
A. T. Hert in the committee headquar-
tiers and represented that the Eberhart
appointment would ALLEVIATE not only
prcgressives. but also many regular re-
publicans who had fought the Eberhart
machine in politics. 1t was finally pro-
posed by Mr.. Hert to add another Min
nesota man. representing the other ele-
ment of the party. to the advisory
committee. This the delegation agreed
TO. The conference ended with this I'M
derstanding. The Minnesota men are
to agree on the new committee mem
Der and send his name to Mr. Hert,
who will forward it with his o. K to

1t is predicted. will offset the Eberhart
q appointment and smooth the troubled
