Out stepped a burly policeman and a sheepish small boy, followed by another, smaller and more sheepish, and yet others, till there stood eight naughty little urchins, all grinning shamefacedly, all twisting their worn caps in dirty fingers, all with faces decorated with flowing mustaches and beards, traced In coal dust on their scarcely less grimy faces. They had been. caught building bonfires between the tracks back of the Central Chemical company, 446 Barclay street The rapidly mounting d blaze had nearly caught a boxcar and had threatened wooden frame buildings in the vicinity. The heard complaints for several weeks about the policeman on the beat having ' escapades of the "gang, decided to give them a scare, so called out the real, patrol wagon, rushed them all off to the police sta tion, and held them there until Guptaln Sullivan arrived. The discipline didnt work very well, though, for the boys, considering the whole affair an exciting adventure, enjoyed themselves hugely, talking to the detectives and officers, and storing up Information .to retail to their friends about the "pleece station? Everybody made pets of them until the captain came. It was a meek little group of kiddles that filed out of tbe captain's office, which they had entered with such a swagger. .Captain Sullivan, to whom the distracted policeman had related his troubles at the hands of the little Imps, made them understand a few things about endangering other peoples .property, and evidently. they took It to heart .Those of the boys who had not participated la the building of the bonfire, but merely came along as witnesses, were as chastened as the culprits. Only the two eider boys, fourteen and fifteen years old, were held at Detention home.

Thus we have this parados: running time of trains Is lengthened as that of women la shortened. In reply to a complaint of the South Jersey Commuter! association the management says the running time of trains cannot be shortened tanless styles of skirts change. Taking or leaving a train anywhere Is no easy task for the tightrsklrted woman, but In New Jersey It Is serious business.' The equipment there Is largely old Pullmans converted into day coaches. Formerly a porter put a stool under the bottom step, but there Is no stool or porter now and the women have fairly to throw themselves Into the arms of the brakemen in detraining.
