he dotes on humor, and he thrives
on wit!
His leg went bum when he had
that stroke-an' his chest hurts
some where his ribs got broke.
He smashed his jaw when he fell

the smile that old Bill wears!

Dairymen should demand cows with

Humphrey points out that cows of
vigorous constitutions are most gener

Such cows will have a strong circu
lation of blood to all parts Of the body
as indicated by healthy condition of
the hair, oily secretions of the hide
and well developed milk veins on the
under side of the body, and occasion
ally noticeable on the face and the
udder.
Humphrey claims that constitution
and vigor in the dairy animal are fur

POLICING CONTESTED cENTERs
RESULTS IN HANDLING OF
VARIOUS PHASES OF CRIME
BY RICHARD E. ENRIGHT

new set of stories of One Thous-
and and One Nights might be written
with each tale dealing with differ
ent phase of the myriad duties of the
New York and other big city police.
A disciplined force of twelve thousand
men functions throughout the many
New York departments with marked
uniformity in it's smoothness.
Whether it is dealing with hus-
band who has progressively poisoned
his wife, or it is in recovering for
little Miss Six-Year Old her lost puppy
the organization works with precision
and along certain definite well-laid
out lines.
The Pawnshop Squad not only
checks all the money-lenders pledges
in search of stolen property, but also
regains lost articles, the finders of
which have pawned them. Does your
conception of policeman in his re-
lation to the public 1T in with the
facts? Do you imagine him merely
forbidding embodiment of the eternal
Thou Shalt Mott" or do you see him
Big Brother, with a ready friend
ship for those who need him, but
with a touch of parental sternness
for those to whom that is best fitted.
This latter is the correct picture Of
tho :rodcIn policeman-of New YcrK,
at least The human side of the Police
is often on exhibition.

The poor mother of joey is case
in point
Four months before Joey had been
born his father had deserted a dis
traught wife. After Joey was born
she found work, and for two years
she and Joey Jared, if not well, at
least fairly well.
Then came misfortune-no work,
no money Starvation followed.
When Joey had been without food
three days she staggered to the MORT
SANTA Police Court with him.
She left her baby warmly wrapped
on the court steps. She walked away
that was desperation.
She couldn't drive the thought of
Joey from her mind
Mother love was stronger than even
desperation
In twenty minutes she was back at
the courthouse steps Seeking Joey!
The policemen who had been set
to watch for her possible return had
to arrest her Vagrancy was the least
charge they could make. The law is
the law.
Joey and his mother were reunited.
And here comes the thing that sur
prised. The very policemen who had
arrested her came to her in che sta
ton house with gift Of $29 that had
been subscribed by themselves and
their fellows in the station. The law
is the law-but humanity is something
else again. In describing this one in
cident I have told the story of hun
dreds Warm hearts beat beneath the
blue coats and the shining shields.
There are thousands of men in this
country who will testify that when
they received their fresh upward
starts at the hands of men, in blue,
Big Brothers?-yes, big-hearted broth
ers!

Affection Inspired BY horses

about horses; have never yet seen
n man horse liked as well as a nice

Burt in the Saturday Evening Post.
But on the other hand. IL you have
ridden one horse lot and know all
his little ways and he knows all
yours, and If you have ridden many
lonely and sometimes dark miles
with him. after while you begin to
cherish an affection for him against
your better sense.
There's n sweet. warm. companion

cles Of his neck when you put your
bare hand against them on a pitch

as you get out of a dog in camp.
And as for Joe, IL you miss the
trail In the dark and try to turn off

you.
There's one thing about being
with such short-Iiyed things as
horses and dogs that isn't pleasant.
