ORDINANCE.
CITED BY
CHIEF

FREDERICKSBURG Va, Jan.
0.Taking official notice of the
criticisms Of two police officers in
ordering that q private dance at
the Elkg Home ON Friday night
be stopped III accordance with q
city ordinance. w, s. CheSley,
director Of public safety has in
vestigated the incident and issued
q statement saying the officers
conduct had been polite and
courteous.
Al misunderstanding as to the
provisions of the city ordinance
relating to dances is responsible
Tor most of the indignation which
resulted when the officers entered
the dance hall and directed the
orchestra to cease playing. Most
people we're under the impression
that the / o'clock closing applied
only to public dances, whereas
the ordinance prohibits dancing
after that hour id ANY public or
private room or hal"
3lFy II EsEFrAttbGN} khVAtAOS
The ordinance does not forbid
dancing in bona-fide residence.
Chesley's statement is as FOL
lows:
Certain criticisms in the paper
recently in regard to the action OF
two Of the police officers in stop
ping d private dance held at the
Elks Home have been called to my
attention. and in justice to the of
ficers, 4 will say that they were act
ing strictly according to the ordi-
nance regulating and controlling
dances in the city: and after q
careful investigation / find that
the officers were polite and .cour-
teous in the discharge Of their
duty. A copy Of the ordinance
governing dances is given below.
'FThat it shall be unlawful for
any person to promote, assist or
engage in dancing in any public
or private room or. hall In the City
of Fredericksburg, Va, between
the hours of / q. m. and 8 a. m.
Any person violating this ordi-
nance shall be deemed guilty Of
a misdemeancI and shall be pun
ished by a fine of not less than
$25 nor more than 500. This
ordinance shall not be construed
to interfere with dancing in the
bona fide residence of any person
so promoting, assisting or engag-
ing in said dancing"
Kept Their Hats On
Referring to the appearance Of
officers in the hall during the
dance, members of the police de-
partment stated today that the
officers first talked with q young
lady, daughter OF. the. hostess.
who expressed a willingness to
have the dance stopped when the
officers conversed with her.
One of the officers then went
into the hall leading to the dance
hall floor and after looking
around went out. AS he stepped
from the main building someone
quickly showed the door shut and
locked it.

officer and returned to the door,
which was opened by someone
after the officers had knocked
on it for admittance. They then
went into the hall, it was stated,
and not seeing the hostess,
walked over to the orchestra
leader, whom they ordered to
stop playing, telling him it was
against the city ordinance. After
that they left the hall.
The officers did not remove
their hats, it was said, as it is
against regulations for an officer
to remove his hat while on duty.
A hatless officer is not officially
on duty, it is stated.

ican patriot and succeeding masters
Of Mount Vernon.
The drug store-at present an un-
pretentious, small brick affair not un-
like the one In your neighl,orhood-
was opened first IN 1792. Edward
Stabler borrowed 500 pounds for the
venture, and made o tidy sum out Of It.
Stabler's descendants, and those of
John Leadbeater, who married one Of
his daughters in 1853, have chung to
the store. Seven generations of the
Washington and the Lee families have
traded there.
Two ashingtons--Augustin and
Lawrence-learned the drug business
there and later established themselves
In West Virginia.
To any one interested, q peek at the
stores prescription flles may be had.
And they afford an insight into the lives
of Washington and his family that per-

out the sIightest hesitancy, he walked
straight over to Black PusSy's dishes
and there made himself quite at home.
In the kitchen doorway Mother
Brown stood with such q funny express
sion on her face. She was looking
down at Jimmy Skunk with OPEN
mouthed astoniShment. At first she
couldn't find her voice No, sir; Mother
Brown simply couldn't find her voice.
When she did, It was to say, why, why,
Jimmy acts as II he had been here
before"
"He has," chuckled Farmer Browns
Boy. "You were so sure that you had
been feeding Black Pussy so well, and
all the time you haven't been feeding
her at all, but have been feeding
Jimmy Skunk. Just see how fat the
rascal is. Jimmy knows q good thing
when he finds it; and when he diScov-
cred that he could come in through
that cathode and get good meal he
made the most of it. Now you under
stand why Black Pussy has been get
ting thin. Well have to shut the door
on Jimmy, guess, hereafter"
"No," said Mother Brown most de-
cidedly. mo, we'll not shut the door
on Jimmy. guess we can afford to
feed him and Black Pussy, too. Here
after I'll feed Black Pussy in the
kitchen and put meal out for Jimmy
just the same"
Then Mother Brown remembered that
Black Pussy was still dinnerless, hiding
under the kitchen stove, and she hur-
ried to prepare a good big dinner for
her..

Mother Brown was still puzzled over
Black Pussy. Apparently, Black Pussy
had eaten two big dinners and still was
hungry Anyway, that is what Mother
Brown thought. She couldn't under
stand it at all.
Farmer Browns Boy saw how puzzled
she was and chuckled. Tomorrow

Mother Brown.
"Wait and see," replied Farmer
Browns Boy. "Just you wait and see.
You are going to have another surprise
and then you are going to understand
why Black Pussy has been growing
thin. All I ask Is that you do as tell
you to-"
Mother Brown good-naturedly agreed
to this. Cali right said she, I'LL do
just what you tell me"
So the next night she prepared Black
Pussy'S supper, as usual. Farmer Browns
Boy was on hand and told her to put
it out in the back shed where she
usually did, and then to wait in the
kitchen doorway to see what would
happen. Black Pussy at once began to
lap up the milk. Then there was a
scratching sound. Black Pussy stopped
drinking. A look of fright came into
her eyes. She turned and ran past
