bad little boys and wear polished
brass buttons and strut around with

pretty nursegirls airing their charges in
the city parks.
Never mind his name. but certain
desk sergeant on the force will blush
with shame If you mention 1t. To
think that a cop-well. here's the
story:
When Mr.. So-and-So, promising
young man, applied for examination
to be a policeman the other day, he
was received with open arms, because
there are vacancies to be filled on the
force. He was sworn in. and he
bought himself a pretty blue uniform
and polished up the buttons. stuck a
big revolver in his pocket. gave his
shining billy a twirl and started out
en- his beat.
There came a rain. and the rookie"
sought shelter under an awning. The
ed under the awning until his con-
science told him there might be trou-
BILE somewhere in the territory whose
peace depended on his vigilance.
So out he started. and the first
damp puddle he put his foot into he
called the precinct station.
Am l supposed to stay out here and
get my feet wet?" he asked
'Oh. Mabel" responded the sergeant.

time. and Pope Benedict ordered the
authorities of the pontifical chapel.
of whom the music is the exclusive
property. to have manuscript copy
made and sent to the Very Rev. K. r.
Dyer. president of ST. Mary's Semi
nary and president of the Society of
St Gregory in America.

before the cardinals death. a small
group of the late prelate's personal
friends was asked to finance the
printing of the music for the choir.
