Beck as Village Constable
There were so many unique ana
clever stunts that only few may
be mentioned. At the entrance to
the grounds were two pseudo officers
of the law of the rural variety. one
of these attired in a discarded uni
form of a policeman was Joseph H.

markable semaphore which was
capped with a small parasol and
decorated with stop" and go" de-
vices. His side partner was Harry

constable. intent on stopping all
traffic violators and holding up for
a consideration every offender

was deeked out in all the foliage of
his kind, including animated chin
whiskers, high top boots. a formid-
able policeman's club and the usual
badge of authority. AS each auto
mobile with its cargo approached
the semaphore contingent, Wallazz
with many genufections stopped the
car and the fake constable did the
rest.
Passengers Contribute
All passengers were accused of
some violation of the law and their
only means of escape was a contri-
button of some sort to the busy
traffic officers. Beck is qualified to
take a prominent part in any come

there was always a large crowd at
the traffic center ready to applaud
the holdup of the incoming picnick-
ers.

with his great responsibility as a
minion of the law could not extract
the coin of the realm, he gagged

The more rich and delicious a
certain food is, the more care people
take to avoid eating too much of

The same rule applies to smoking.
Cigar smokers, for example, are

down the number of cigars)
In the same way, cigarette smokers
are learning that Turkish tobacco,

heavy that man can easily smoke
too much of it.
