Show HOW POLICE OFFICERS WILL GET POSTED 0M THEIR DUTIES TO the end that the officers may know whom to arrest, what charge to prefer and what evidence to secure, every policeman on the force has been supplied with a nicely-bound nicely-bound copy of the now city ordinances. Lest they bo carried home and laid away with the family Blblca and other neglected literature, It has been decided to hold regular classes every afternoon, at which Prof. John Hempel will examine ex-amine thc students. When the class is lined up for recitation recita-tion in the drill room of the, city hall Prof. Hempel will rap his club smartly on the slough table and ask, beginning at thc head of the class: o "What would you charge a man with If you found him sleeping on a stairway stair-way on your beat?" The answer would probably be: "Trespass." , "Next!" 1 "Vagrancy." "Next!" "Impersonating an ofTlcer." "Right. William, go to the head of the class. Now, what is a suspicious character?" char-acter?" "A man who lakes his bananas Inside of the store when he sees a policeman coming." "You hit it thc first time. What must you prove to convict a man of vagrancy?" va-grancy?" "That he was In a saloon." "What else?" "Please, sir, I don't know." "Next!" "That he is not an Indian." 1 "Correct. Now, what is tho difference between a fight and a boxing exhibition?" exhibi-tion?" This proves too much for thc class until a little policeman near the foot is reached. "A boxing exhibition is a fight where the chief and thc city council get the front scats." , "That Is right. Move up, Danny." Many similar questions will be asked and answered, and there is no doubt that the recitations will be of great benefit to nil the members of the force. |
