(BY THE OUT EAsTER)

V0A T kAE OO CAO A A1AAD
 Memories of old police days were revived when Captain Frank R. Cutting died and was buried recently.
 For it was years ago when Frank was first introduced into poe lice work, somewhere around the famous trolley strike of 1903. He was then supernumerary police man, among 25 or more of that particular grade. He became a regular in 1907 under the Thoms regime.
 Chief Broken" |.
 When Frank Cutting joined the police force the talented George M. Egan was the chief of police. The strike broke him, being forced out by the viewpoint of the then manufacturers \of the city. There IS no doubt about that. Next to Egan, was the celebrated Major Bannon, recognized as the hand- somest and most military appear ing man in uniform. And what a good soul he was, gentle and kind, and most considerate of everyone who happened to get into trouble. Tom Dodds of goatee fame was the Lieutenant and head of the detective bureau, another fine looking police officer. Behind him were the three uniformed serg- ents, Jack Pagan, Bernard Cahey and Frank Blakely. These six men comprised the administrative offi- cers of the department. The pat rolmen numbered about 50.
 Young Cutting first reported to Chief Egan.
 "Step out there until look you over," commanded the chief. Cut ting did as ordered, with heels together, his chin up, and his arms at his side. He looked direct- ly in front, toward old Harrison alley. The chief closely scrutins ized him. Then he took his pedi- gree for file purposes.
 Advice
 "Young man." spoke the chief, put it there," extending his right hand. T congratulate youl you look good to me. Bear in mind, you're a police officer, now, at tached to this department for life unless you do something in vio- lation of the oath you have taken. Beware of entanglements; tell the truth; bear no false witness against thy neighbor'; if you are wrong in any way, admit it. In the matter of arrest, be sure you are right before you act; the gun is not to be used except when felony has been committeed: read up on the difference between misdemeanor and a felony; be alert, but don't be a sneak; do everything in the open, your life's work is ahead of you; won't be here, but I'll venture to predict, you1l die a policeman"
 And Frank Cutting did die policeman just as Chief Egan said he would.
 Frank Cutting was just as mild hammered as he looked. Boyish in appearance, and somewhat slen- der, he swung the club, the ofhcial weapon of authority, until the early part of 1913 when he was made a sergeant; 8 few years later he was advanced to 8 cap taincy. And almost every night since the death of Deputy Edward J. Mullings, Captain Cutting had been the detailed officer in charge of the police department. Of late years, he was seldom seen in uni- form, except when all of the po- lice were ordered out for some big parade or celebration. His powers It night were similar to those of the deputy superintendent of po- dee. Regulation of the prospective beats and their numbers com- prised part of his work; he knew
