FUNNY SIDE OF LIFE IN

Harry P. Coffin, Chairman of the Public Safety Commission, Recalls
Troubles of Newlyweds and Cites Them as Warning to Recent Benedict.
H
T1Y JERROLD OWEN.
ARRY P- COFFIN, chairman of the
Public Safety Commission, naa
lust congratulated Neal Crounse,
Deputy City Clerk, upon his recent en
trance into the Tanks of the benedicts,
when he married Miss Wilma Chandler.
Apropos of the trials of the newly wed,
Mr. Coffin became mirthfully reminis
cent "I can remember 24 years ago, when
my wife and 1 were on our honeymoon
up the historic Hudson." he eald. "She
was on the upper deck enjoying the
scenery and I was tending to our bag
gage oh the deck below. The purser
was Just coming around to collect the
tickets. No one was allowed to go
from one deck to another. I had both
tickets in my wallet.
"When the purser came around to
me, I stammered that I, inadvertently,
had become separated from a young
lady whose ticket I held. He asked
me the name. 'Miss Bigelow," I replied,
without thinking, 'She is on the deck
above.' My senses returned and I saw
my mistake.
" 'Wait a minute," I called, as he was
leaving, "I made a mistake. Miss Bige
low has her ticket, but I have the
ticket belonging to Mrs. Coffin.'
"He turned around and I saw his
eyes light with an inward smile, as
he solemnly winked."
One Incident reminded him of an-
"It was just five yeare later, said
Mr. Coffin. "I had Just been trans
ferred from the Chicago to the New
York office of the firm for which I
was working. I had been given a fare
well dinner. As the limited was about
to leave the station some of my fool
friends appeared with bags of rice,
ribbons and old shoes. We were given
an enthusiastic send-off.
"An hour later when I noticed the
too complimentary attention awarded
us by the negro porter, I said to him
in disgust, 'They make me tired," re
ferring to the crowd at the station.
Why. we have been married five
years."
" 'Ah know, boss," and his answering
grin revealed acres of white teeth.
'That's what they all say." "
One morning last week I. Oda, Jap
anese proprietor of a Tooming-house,
appeared in Municipal Court, charging
one Roy Bond with attempting to steal
an electric light bulb and extension.
The bulb was introduced as evidence
and laid on the rail behind Deputy
Clerk Crounse.
Deputy Crounse had been recently
perusing the utterances of Richmond
P. Hobson on the possibilities of Japan
attacking the Pacific Coast and of her
soldiers walking triumphantly down
the main streets of Portland.
Speaking in his own defense Oda
waved his arms "wildly about One
hand came in contact with the exten
sion cord attached to the light, and
with a "pop" that startled Captain
Moore at the information desk on the
floor below, the bulb exploded, show
ering fine glass on the floor.
When kindly hands assisted Deputy
Crounse out from' beneath his desk,
ho was still muttering:
"I knew we didn't have enough ships
to keep them away."
Incidentally, the Japanese was fined
$10 for remonstrating with Rond with
a section of gaspipe before calling the
police to complete the argument.
The Municipal Courtroom was
crowded with visitors. The benches
provided for the curious public were
congested. Many were standing in the
rear of the room or lined about the
walls.
Deputy City Clerk Crounse was call
ing off the cases on the morning
docket.
"F. R. Jones. Drunk and disorderly."
"What is the plea?" queried Htzzoner,
Judge Stevenson, from the bench.
"Jones, were you drunk?" asked the
clerk. '
"Guess, 1 was," responded Jones with
sheepish grin.
"Ever been In jail before?"
"No, yeronner."
"Very well, go and sin no more."
"S. Bomelli assault and battery,"
droned the clerk, and so on down a list
of minor cases was justice dispensed.
The prisoners filed from the room with
out arousing but a passing interest in
the spectators.
"Case of Sadie Smith, Ralph Bogart,
Edward Riley and Fanny Dresser," an
nounced the clerk. Interest awakened
perceptibly in the audience. The Judge
rose from his bench and walked
through a door leading to a small room
furnished only with a bench, desk and
several chairs. Attorneys. Clerk
Crounse, City Attorney Stadter and
Deputy District Attorney Deich fol
lowed. As one man, the courtroom visitors
rose and started toward the little door.
The form of Bailiff Johnson blocked
the way.
"Where'r ye going?" he inquired bel
ligerently, and the front ranks of the
oncomers wavered and pressed back
ward. "The public is excluded from
this hearing."' in disgust the visitors
tramped from the room.
They had forgotten that cases of im
moral conduct Rre tried within the
confines of the Morals Court
Police Sergeant Lyons tells how he
handed himself a few lemons last week.
It seems that the Sergeant was raven
ously hungry one morning and asked
his faithful spouse to prepare for him
an extraordinary luncheon a substan
tial meal that he might eat it when
on duty and lose no time.
Such a lunch was prepared with
care; there were two big sandwiches,
several kinds of cake, an orange and
various other articles of diet well cal
culated to appease the appetite of the
Sergeant The lunch was stuffed in a
paper bag and left on the kitchen
table. Another bag was on the table
and when the Sergeant went from his
home in a hurry he naturally picked up
the wrong bag. When opened at the
police station. Sergeant Lyons found
himself In possession ot a Dag contain
ing one dozen lemons.
"It wasn't so much that I missed
firood lunch." lamented the Sergeant
"but It's what my wife will say to me
when I get home."
Judge Stevenson was in reminiscent
mond. A lawyer passed.
"That man has a fine reputatlonas
a lawyer," remarked Hizonner, 'but
can remember when he was not r
garded seriously. Here is a story they
tell of his younger days:
It appears that as a young attorney
in Seattle, he was prosecuting a negro

Welcome of News of Treaty
of Ghent Is Described.
Ellxabeth MrU Rowland Heealls
Stories Told by Her Father About
llotv Tidings ot Peare Came 100
Years Ago.
ELIZABETH M'l.. ROWLAND,
Dean of Women. Reed College.
FIRST the news of the treaty ef
Ghent had to get to "Washington,
and that took seven weeks. Meanwhile
the battle of New Orleans was fought
on January S. lSlii. and the news of
the victory had to come around to
Washington by sailing vessel and on
to New England by coaster or stage
coach, and the victory beat the treaty
by a few days only.
Portland. Me., had been hard hit by
tho war. her commerce destroyed, her
merchants ruined. Biit perhaps better
days were coming. Here was a great
victory, and the guns at Fort Preble
boomed tne glad tiaings to we ur
rounding towns.
My father lived at Gorham. ten miles
Inland. Everybody there heard the
Portland guns, and not to be outdone
in patriotic rejoicing the Gorham men
"rigged a swivel" on "Meeting-house
Hlli" ind made a tremendous noise
with it. Then the boys went out
further to Kort Hill, where a barrel of
ter had been suspended on a scat
fold during the war. ready to light and
give warning to the neighborhood in
rase Portland should be suddenly in
vaded. Unfortunately the boys lighted
the tar a little too early In the after
noon and nearly burned It up before
dark. But then, having come through
hoth these dangers with eyes and all
their fingers intact,, four of the boys
contributed 10 cents each and bought
half a pint of molasses and father
made the candy to finiBh up the cele
bration. It was Just a few days after all this
glorious excitement, before 7 o'clock
on a cold morning In late February,
that my father was sent on an errand
to "Deacon Jimmy's." It is quite poe
sible that he carried a skillet to bring
home a live coal for starting the fire.
I've certainly heard him say that he
had been sent on such an errand when
the fire on the hearth hadn't kept
over night, but I know that he was go
inir ninnir "the Portland road." a lit
tle fellow just past his 10th birthday.
when he heard a distant gun. tnen an
other, and the boom came from Port
land! Just then in 'the distance he saw
horse galloping towards him. Its rider
wa shnutlnir and flinging out his arms
and calling something at every house
as he p'assed. He came up to tne nine
boy. He waved his hand, leanea w
waril him and sang out: "Peace! Peace
Peace!" and without breaking from his
gallop he was gone through tne vil
lage. Then, as now, boys of 10 had more
intoraRt in swivel-guns, tar barrels and
molasses candy than In treaties or
neace. although the elders Knew mat
negotiations were pending. They were
waiting with anxious hopes snd fears;
they were praying both in the pulpit
and at their nresiaes, ana me oj
found the McLellan family wondering
over the meaning of the Portland can
nonading. -More guns for New Orleans.
I suppose." said Deacon Jimmy. But
father told him of the breathless rider
snd his shouted message or f-eace.
Peace!" and Deacon Jimmy said, i nen
the war must be over."
That was father s story.
Then mother would take up the tale.
