ThiePs Arrest Reveals Honest "Cop"
,pHICAGO. There Is nt least ono po
Vs Uccman In Chicago who Is abso
lutely on tho square. In fact, ho Is
so honest that an attempt to present
him with part of tho proceeds from
a net job of "frisking" startled him,
nnd ho simply gasped for breath.. Tho
doctors say his heart may have been
injured by tho shock.
Tho policeman Is "Honost Pat"
Duggan of the Desplalnes street sta
tion. Ouggan was standing at South
Jefferson and West Madison street
talking to Henry Habalt, an old friend
of the honest copper.
Knuto Gabrelson. a friend of Hnbalt,
but evidently a stranger to Duggan,
approached and Joined in the conver

his eyesight might bo a llttlo bad.
At least he did not see Gabrelson ex

Chicken Explodes,
N3W YORK. It would disconcert
anybpdy to have a roast chicken,
nicely browned, cxphdd with a loud
nolso just as the kn'.fe was inserted
In it, and It would -startle tho most
lntropid epicure if tho explosion was
followed by n gas that drovo every
body from the room.
Therefore. It Is not to be wondered
at that Mrs. Elizabeth Jones or Brook
lyn was much agitated when a chick
en she had bought from Butcher
David Kahn and which was bought,
dressed and cooked under her person
al supervision, should burst liko a
black hand bomb just at the instant
sho was about to carve it.
Mrs. Jones had invited company to
dinner and got tho chicken for tho es

Night Watchman "Worked" by "Coeds"
CHICAGO, Even policemen are hu

show it. Jf anything can bring out
their human qualities it seems that a

ready owned.
It took tho parrot about a week to get
uccu to tno surroundings, then, one
morning when the old man was play
fully stroking the back of Its head
nnd admiring Its beautiful plumage.. It
cocked one cyo up at him knowingly
nnd In guttural, croaking tones In
quired: "Why don't you pay Blank's bill?"
Tho old man nearly foil from his
chair. At first ho was furious, but
llttlo by little the funny sldo or tho
situation grow upon him, and It final
lr awakened oven IiIb dormant senso
of humor. Ho smiled, then ho
grinned, ho chuckled, then ho actual
ly laughed! Tho Ico broken, ho kept
on laughing, until tho tears rolled
cown his rugged cheeks nnd his stin

cackle alternated at frequent inter

its one accomplishment In tho con

"Why don't you pay Blank's blli.T"
The next day tho old merchant sat
himself down nnd penned a lcttor to
Blank & Co., whoso credit man gave
every cvldenco of exoesslvo plcasuro
when he opened, for It rpad: .
"Find Inclosed checU to balance my

As Habalt walked away Gabrelson
approached Duggan with perfect con

"Geo, but that was dead easy. Say,

"And you ought to ee tho roll. I
bet he's got 200 bears in his Inside
pocket, which won't worry him by

when I got tho roll I will split Havo

When Gabrelson began to talk tho

Butcher Is Sued
Jones Jabbed tho fork Into ono of tho
wings or tho fowl to steady the bird,
brandished the carving knlfo aloft,
and In her most winning way asked:
"Mrs. Smith, will you havo somo or
the white meat?"
Mrs. Smith smiled her ncqulcsconco
and Mrs. Jones plunged tho point of
tho blade Into tho chicken Just below
tho breast bone.
Instantly there was an explosion
like that of a big firecracker, and tho
Interior decorations of tho bird were
scattered to the colling. Mrs. Jones
and her guests pulled away from tho
tablo immediately nnd looked nt tho
chicken with bulging oyes.
Mrs. JoneB went out and got n po
