WILcox. soc'y. William F. Childs. who was appoint~ ed by Mayor Harrison a few days ago to be a police sergeant in Chicago. is said to be the only negro commanding police oiiicer in the United States. Almost twanty-four years ago Mayor Harrison's father, the first Mayor i-lar- ison. took the initiative of putting the first colored man on the city’s police force. That was the first time a color- tion in any of the large cities. Rev. Dr. Charles A. Crane of Boston after careful inquiry has come to the conclusion that there are about seven score different fads or kinds of religion in that city. Dr. Crane made this an- nouncement at a revival meeting held under the auspices of Christian En- deavor societies, 'He urged that men should be more interested in the use made of religion than in views con- cerning it and declared that the high- est not of worship is to use divine as- sistance to the limit of human power. As a church choir singer, Mrs. Fred- erick B. Bushnell. of Renniesvllle, N. J. is believed to hold the record. At 75 she is still a member of the choir of the Methodist church at Dennisville. Her connection with the organisation has extended through two decades and for a long time she was the choir Up to a recent period she taught vocal and instrumental music, but now she is giving lessons only to 'three of her grandchildren. She and her husband enjoy good health and both are remarkable well preserved. Although there were more court-inur- tlals of officers of the army last year than in any year since 1900, the judge. advocate of the army finds comfort in the fact that there have been fewer court—martinis in the past four years than during the same length of time after the reorganization oi the army. which followed the close of the Civil War, and the army is larger now than it was then. At the present time the incompetent and unworthy men among the thousands of officerse who have been commissioned in the regular army since the war with Spain are being rapidly weeded out. and the numbers of court-martinis should, therefore, be much less in the future than during the past four years. u—g RECENT ARRIVALS OF VECBELI.

Jim Husby has a dog. probably the most ornery car that ever walked on four legs. This pup has no more courage than a dove He has been licked by every casino in the neighborhood.

He decided that the dog. to begin with: looked too cowardly: so with black point be decorated the dog's face in a most horrible manner. it a man of a blbulous turn of disposition could meet that canine in the gloom- lng he would forswcar rum and lead a temperate life. i never saw a dog illustrated in so fierce a style before. He was a regular Roycroft edition of all that is to be feared in a dog.

Well. the big fellow no sooner saw the pup comingkthan he made ready to fret him. With a growl and a rush he boomed out into the road, and then catching a good view of the cur's ban- dit-like expression. he paused and eyed him in amazement and some trepidation. The cur thought the big dog wanted to be friends and crept forward. The big dog detected some- thing slnister in the slow approach. and turning with a long drawn howl lied to the barn. The cur was puz- zled. At the next house he met a bulldog. which came out to shake him up. But as soon as the bull saw what he was up against he began to tremble and retreated in abject fear. Then the cur began to get chesty. The next dog he met he chased for two miles and scared almost out of his senses. “For the next three days he did nothing but hunt his old enemies. He neg‘ectcd his meals in order to keep on the warpath. Nothing was too big for him to tackle. Jim held a mirror up before him that he might know what to thank for his transformation. The pup was proud. He began to be a regular nuisance. No dog could pass the farm but what he must hike out and throw down the gauntlet. "This got to wearing on Jim's nerves, so one day be washed the paint off. An hour later the cur sallled out and was whipped to a finish by a water spaniel. He dragged himself to the barn and thought it over. Then nosing about he got the pail of paint. and taking it by the bail logged it out to Jim and mutely begged for another coat of paint. Jim again used his artistic talent. Again the pup was monarch of all he sun veyed. but now realizing that it was thi paint and fearing it would he re- moved. he sought no more duels.
