can boast of having a man who has
probably served more years in the
capacity of constable than any other

man of good sound Judgment and has
plenty of common sense and has al
ways made an ideal officer. He has
nose for unearthing crime and has run
down many criminals in his nearly 20
years Of service as a law enforcer. He
takes much interest in his work AMI
makes an ideal reformer, although he
has a kind heart and is always ready
and willing to assist the Under Dog

nected with several lodges and is held
in high esteem.

NOTED by care in diet as we'll as BY
careful devotion to hard work. They
wear far longer who are diligent in
business than those who rust out.
