POLICE 0F SPAIN In Andalusia They Arc Seen In All Their Shabby Glory. ARSENALS ON MOVING LEGS. Thty Will Put Pi.tol to Your Hd With the Grsstett PoliUn.s. and Lock You In Coll With Infinit. Courtt.y Mino. of Mi.inform.tion. He In polite. I the Spanish police man. There I live ud let Ilv. ulr iKiut him. U possesses neltbor the easy nd kindly dignity of the polhe man of Ionih)u nor the trucuieuee of the policeman of New York, but he la very, very human. And ho hna the blessed gift that no other brand of policeman seems to pmwia of appear ing to be more than an ordinary person. True, be la armed. He la an arsenal moving on less, nut aomethlng tella you that he wouldn't really hurt a dy. like him. And here I must ay that he ta not to be confounded with the guardla civil. The guardla civil la quite an other person altogether. He la atern and austere, and he patrols country district and lonesomu mountainous places, ne was used to put down the bandeleroa, those adepts in the art of awlft forceful borrowing, whose pres ence did o much to heighten th ro manceof old aunny Spain. Tbeguoidla civil killed off these gay financial art ist, but now. even after his Job has been finished, be still wears a cold, austere air. lie la Indeed not to be confounded with my friend the police man. The first time 1 met the Spanish po liceman was one night In a certain town Id Andalusia. Troth compels me to state that I met him In a profes sional way. I was Indulging with others In a row when he appeared In force. 1 was gathered In by live of him. But bow polite be was: He put his pistol to my head. or. rather, the Ave of them put their pistols to my head, and made me feel that I would be doing him the greatest of favors by coming with blm to the police station. The whole affair wss courtliness It self. To be arrested In such a manner was to have a privilege conferred upon one. At the police station I was again treated with politeness D1 ,n tne enc' with a locked door. The Spanish policeman is not too well paid. He sports not an ambas sadorial salary. AH he gets Is 2 pe setas a day. ne ta therefore ame nable to the friendly and considerate tip. This. 1 most hasten to say. how ever, makes blm none the less a worthy and effective guardian of law and order. Be Is shabby of uniform. But that is not hta fault It Is the fault of a frugal government In appearance he looks something like an English post man and an Impoverished Spanish officer. But there is artistry about his ahabblness. He fits Into the picture Very often, especially in Andalusia, be is old and rather infirm. One Is often sorry for him as be bumps along with bis sword trundling behind him. Bat he has the wisdom that goes with age. If be sees a row be looks at it with bis blind eye and allows It to simmer down a very good thing with rows. If you ask a Spanish policeman a question be la politeness Itself. But bis answer will be wrong. He Is a mine of misleading Information. He doesn't know. Indeed, what be doesn't know about the name of streets and the way to get to them and thinga generally would Oil an encyclopedia. If yoo want to know anything you must not ask a Spanish policeman. Respect him. for be Is of the best but don't ask Dim questions. In the nighttime be sometimes car ries a lance He Is then called a ereno. presumably because he brings serenity upon troubled waters. He looks very picturesque on a clear, star lit night and makes one think of the times of old-the times one reads about In historical romances. But he is al ways barm less, alwaya peaceful and ready for a friendly gossip. He la really a sereno a serene person. His lance la merely there to round off his artistic and romantic appearance And It is not a sharp lance. I know, for I have often felt the edge of lt-wben the sereno courteously banded It to me for Inspection. But It looks artistic when seen In the distance on a star litnlgbt - The policeman of Catalonia is some what different from the policeman of Andalusia. He Is alert pushful and Interfering. He is spt to want to know - who you are and what you are and what your business may be. But Cata Ionia is not Spain. It is a place where tbe people rush about doing ail man ner of things. Thpy like work, and, what Is worse, they like other people to work. And their policemen take after tbem. No. the Catalonia j policeman cannot trait b called a Suanlsh noliceman. 1 MR. HENRY PECK AND HIS FAMILY AFFAIRS - By Gross YJRll ' tt yon want to see the true Kpanlsh polli-eninn you must go down to Anda lusia. And you will Ilk him. Tou will feel for him the friendliest regard. You will see him ambling casually along with stooped shoulder and trundling sword. And should yon bare to make his acqualntum In a professional way you will tlnd that he will deal with you na an easy aud kindly father would deal w ith you. If he arreste yon ha will arrest you In a way that won't Injure your feelings. I can recommend blnv-Bart Kennedy In tandon 8tr. n conquers twice who restrain himself In Tlrtory.-Syrna. Head to Heart Talks "BOARDED Ur." In the hot weather In the city, when the bouses cast uo refreshing shallow s such ns lie under the tree aud alone tbe fence rows in the country, there are two melancholy sights. One of them Is to be seen In the slums. There men and women and little children sweat and pant and live their liven aiuoug sights aud sounds and odors which dellle the air and make It pestilential. The other lies "uptown." where the wealthy folks live-when they are In town. Xow they are summering by seashore or lakeside or lu the cool, breexy mountains. Their bouses stand teuantlesa, with doors and windows boarded up. You may walk along row after row of houses of the wealthy without nud tng one open. In the slums th gutters swarm. In the rich districts you may walk squares without seeing any one save au occasiouul watchmau or caretaker. The quarters of the wealthy are al most as des. rted as the ruins of Baby lon. At night one might almost hear In fancy the hooting of the owl and the yelping of the Jackal that make the silence more pronouueed In the wreck that was Nineveh. Too often do the rich board up them selves as well as their houses. Be tween them and their brothers, the poor. Is a wall of gold that shuts out human sympathy. They are "boarded up." They hoard their treasures of wealth and art as In summer they close, up their mansions. In winter tbe bouses are occupied for a brief time between Clttlngs to winter resorts. Most of the year the town houses are closed. So it Is with their sympathies. Tbey close them up as they do their house. Every city, every town and villa has Its dividing line between Its rich dis trict and Its poor quarter. Beyond It the poof may not P083 snt 1100 do not care to travel. They board tbemselves Tip. Not all. of course. Some there be who keen onen all the year round the houses of their love and brotherllness. ho do not Inclose themselves within their own four walls and forget the rorld without Of aucb are tbe true philanthropists, 'lovers of man." who work in hot weather and in cold for the advance ment of their fellow men. They are invested with the sense of the brother hood of man, and they garb tbemselve In the robes of charity and forget the rich raiment to which.

I OLD BROAD CREEK CHURCH. It la In Rurws Mo Yst Washington Once Worshiped Jhere. Within eight utiles from th. national capltol at Washington la an old church which waa built In 1.IU4. Ita parish was founded even before that Very few people have ever beard of this old church, for the simple reason that for the past fifty year the place haa been falling to rack and ruin. It 1 a famous church, and In th early dnya It was a well known parish, for It was the flrst that waa founded near the city of Washington. Of late years the old famllie have all moved away, and their children have had In terests elsewhere. They have all for gotten the little old church where their ancestors worshiped. It was this church of Pt John' that George Washington attended on hie frtipient visits to Its side of the river. A few years hack those old parishion ers who could re.nemlier their father- stories of having seen Washington row ed by hi. slaves over from Mount Ver non to service there, put on Washing ton's pew In the old church a sliver plate as a memorial to him.
