 Johnny was asked suddenly about the penny he had dropped on the floor and he looked down, about the humble bee over head and he looked up-there was no stiff neck But his ingenious sister explained that it was really sort throat so the throat was examined and it was discovered to be most disappointingly normal. So Johnny can't have a blue ticket and come to the party.

the stranger, you need it more than
1 do"
The man did not hesitate He seized
the package which contained two sand
witches and a large piece of cake.
Where will l go to eat it?" asked the
stranger.
There in the hall will be all right"
said the sergeant
Ten minutes later Sergeant Sheehan
went to the hallway to 500 how the man
enjoyed the lunch.
EATS CAKE But
LEAVES SANDWICHES.
The stranger was gone. He had eaten
the cake, but he did not seem to care
for the two sandwiches, as he had
thrown them on the floor.
Years ago in indianapolis, on Market
street, near West street. there was a big
house known as the Friendly Inn The
travelling public" who were without
funds to pay for a nights lodging and
breakfast were always welcome at the
Friendly Inn, for in the rear yard was
big pile of wood, and the guest
could pay for his lodging and breakfast
by taking a little exercise In splitting
wood. With the majority of the travel
ing public this was not popular. How
ever, it was welcomed by many a man
who was Just out of luck"
Later there was a shelter house on
North New Jersey street between Ohio
and New York streets. That was during
the first term of Lewis Shank as mayor
of Indianapolis. The man who was in
hard luck could call at police head
quarters, tell his story to the desk
sergeant. and obtain q shelter house
ticket. The man was given a warm place
to sleep. a bath, and his clothes were
disinfected. Then in putting the man
who is down but never out" back on
his feet, the shelter house ticket pro-
vided for hot coffee and something to
eat. But this place Is no longer in ex-
istance. The city paid for each shelter
house ticket.

Indianapolis needs a shelter house for
unfortunates, in the opinion of CHIEF OF
Police jeremiah E. Kinney, who each
night is the host for from twenty-five 10
forty men Some are well dressed and
some a-e ragged.
These men arr not under arrest. They
appear at the police headquarters early
each night and 'fOp" on the floor OF the
rear hallway near the downstairs cell
room. This space soon becomes crowded.
Then some climb to the top Of an old
wardrobe in the hallway at the risk OF
rolling off and falling to the cement door
and breaking an arm or a leg. Iheh
others find places to bunk" on the iron
stairway leading from the rear hallway
to the turkeys Office. Sull others
ofopped" on the floor of the public wash
room on the second floor Of the police
headquarters since the rear hall has be-
come crowded
However. that is against the orders OF
the police captains as the janitors say
the men soon viii have that place in
tested with veTmin. Some Of the men
are covered with vermin. others were not

VISITORS OPPOSE
EARY RISING.
Each night the men become holder,
and some insist on sleeping on the stair
way until a. m. but when Sergeant
Sandman. turnkey, threatens to lock
them up on i vagrancy charge, they
clear out
eff you fellows are looking for work,
as you say you are" said Sandman,
"you should get up and start looking
before O'clOck-unless you want a job
as a clerk in a bank"
The janitors don't approve Of the
hospitality extended TO the men who
frequently refuse to get up when the
janit0rs arrive to clean the building.
Then there is trouble. The hObOeS have
made the negro janitors "hotfOOt it" on
several occasions. and only the timely
arrival Of the police officers from the
front office saved the jauitors from be
ing "al mussed up" on several coca
sions
Still the number seems to Increase each
night as the cold, rainy and stormy
weather drives the men from the streets
to warm shelter
Some really want work. Others would
run away if they thought they would
find work, the police say.

now welcome only at police headquarters
and they are not made to feel over wei

However, Chief Kinney says he would
rather have them as his guests in the
rear hallway of police headquarters than
to have them roaming the streets
IF they are in police headquarters
they are not breaking into any place or
trying to hold up anybody. We can
keep an eye on them and know where
they are" explained the chief. I'm these
unsettled times when lots Of men are
out of employment, the problem of car
ing for these men is a big one. 1t seems
to become more serious each night as
the news spreads that they can bunk in
