“makes things huml” The papers have
been full of tales about her prowess in
cutting off official heads, firing old
bachelors from the force, installing her
friends in office, making the police force
doi‘f their hats to her and driving a va-
riety troop out of town. She also in-
augurated a code of whistle signals by
which the force is put in constant com~

never be found when wanted; but,

sanitary arrangements undremncd of be-
