MANY mothers

only lasted a month or possibly six weeks.
Thej- have excused these shortcomings by
V
reasoning that their children were racing
and romping all day and that the shoes were
BOUND to give way. This is all WRONG and such
shoes are not deserving of the name. There isn't a pair
of shoes in our three stores that you cannot place absolute
dependence in for DURABILITY and COMFORT. Just
as fast as mothers realize that "Hahn's Shoes are Relia

we will say that we sold more School Shoes last week than
in any other six days since we've been in business.

So much has been written ami published
of late descriptie of yachts designed
solely for pce'd, and the racing of them,
that one might fancy no other kind of
yachts was called for, and that Americans
cared for neither comfort nor safety,
economy nor endurance in boats.
But such an estimate of American yachts
men, and Washington yachtsmen In par
tlculir, would be most erroni'ous, for
nothing Is more dclred by fcijulblc men,
especially by that large and increasing
class who own and sail boau Tor pleasure,
health and education of their faculties,
than boats that are easily handled, tale
when well handled, and comfortable to
crnlse In.

clear, bright and breezj day, onemny count

SMALL BOATS. THE RULE.
True It is, that the-sreat majority of these
craft are less thanab'rf feet p.t the water
line, but it Ehould not be forgotten that
eplondid sport may be had In boats of small
dimensions, and that most yachtsmen in

An cxhillaratlng thresh to the windwanl
in a freEli breeze is quite as enjoyable In a
small catlioat as In a palatial schooner
yacht. The invigorating breeze, nnd the
stimulus of a closelj contested race can be
as keenly appreciated from the cockpit of
a cockle shell as from the quarter deck of
3ie largest two sticker.
Arnou-r thecraft of the Washington YacLt
Club are boats of nearly ever kind known
to the vicinity, fcloops seem to be the
faiorltes, but schooner jaciits, catboats,
sharpies and cruising canoes are found In
abundance.
One of the finest, bur- nut the largest
owned here-, is the cabin sloop yacht

Among thesteam yachts owned by Wash

Thero is not much activity in club
circles or among yachtsmen in general
at present. The most of thm have Just re
turned from fiftctn or thirty day cruises,
and a great many are Just preparing to

The small bays on the river, front, though,

The Ways tho "Finest" Take Hold of
1'rlKoiicTM Are um Varied ns the Of
leiiKOH Officer Who Are OppoKCd
to the- XJe of Club mid I'refer
Their FltttH.
An Infallible key to the individual char
acter of a policeman is the manner in which
he makes arrests, and his treatment of
prisoners beforeandafterthelrincarcerat ion.
The possession of a gun and club, and
the authority estcd in the wearer of tht
bit of nickel plata. on which the words.
"Metropolitan Police" arc stamped. Is
very apt to make even the most level
headed cf men somewhat autocratic.
The officer who persistently refrains from
making use of the weapons with which he
is proWded deserves the credit he gets,
and what is better, gets the credit be de
serves .
Whcnmon render themselvesllabletoarrest
they are not. as a rule, cry opt to consider
that the policeman is only doing his duty
In arresting them, and would probably lose
his Job if he didn't. They nearly always
Uilnk they are being treated unjustly, or
discriminated against, and their Inborn
yearning for liberty makes of them kickers.
This is annoying to the policeman, and
frequently disastrous to the prisoner.
It Is work to make an arrest, and no one
In the employ of the District goernment
Is going to do more -work than his duty
calls for at least no policeman Is.
HOW TO BEHAVE.
If a book wero written on the etiquette
of being arrested. It should be carefully
perused by e-very citizen. The average
win doesn't know any more about how to
act .when he fills into the clutches of
the law, than a Cherokee Indian would
at a Trench ball.
They are unwilling to accept tho fact
that when a policeman gets his hands on
they mut go somewhere. If they don't
go to the station house in a quiet, orderly
manner, they are likely to go to the
hospltal'ln an unconscious condition and an
ambulance.
As soon as a person is notified that he
Is under arrrr he should fall in step with
the officer, and marcji. Resistance never
does. any good. With some policemen it
eipiply mcain that they will take a great
deal of. unnecessary trouble, and land their
lijuoncr at the station house er wrathy,
very murii out of breath, but whole.
"With others, and there are a number of
others, it means that the foolish indlUduil
ilolng tl e resisting will get pounded nntil
his system won't hold his political opin
ions. And, minus the opinions, he n ill be
locked up. Just the same.
With the advent of so many young men on
the force, the club lias been brought into
more frequent use, but there arc many
of tlie older members of thedepartment who
pride theniJelves on never having had oc
casion to use either their pistol or club.
In those days, too, when the force was
small nnd the city thinly populated, making
an nrrest was an altogether different mat
ter from what it is to day when men run
double beats, and can call on numbers of
citizens for aid.
Mr Itobert Burns, the night clerk at policy
headquarters, and one of the veterans of
tho police force, is one of those who are
oprot ed to the use of the club.
FISTS INSTEAD OF A CLUlk
In the early days of the cit police lie die)
duty on what was then called "The Island"
In South Washington, nnd there were few
harder sections in the city to manage.
But whenever he wanted company to the
station house he had only to indicate his
wish to the offender, and without more
ado he had company.
A salutary lesson, administered to a dis
orderly character with Ins fists, when lie
first began to do ratrol duty, gained for
him great prestige in the neighborhood,
however, and it -a8 probably due to this
fact that he had sollttleuse for club organ.
The actions of a newly madi; prisoner
depend entirely upon the man making the
arrest. With some policemen every of
fender who Is at all tough -will "buck-,"
while -with others Uie same people arc
meek and accommodating.
Mr James MeHcvllt, now a-private de
tective, who became a member of the police
force shortly after its organization, and
who tins probably arrested more notorious
toughs and criminals than any oUicr man
doing police business In the city, is one of
those who never used either club or gun.
And yet a South Washington tough by
the name of Donovan, who Is -well remem
bered by a number of the older men, would
submit to arrest at the hands of no single
policeman except McDevitt. With lilm it
was only necessary to be told that he was
wanted, and the man would go
Tbe average policemandoen'ttand"hiuch
on ceremony when he ha-, a drunk and
disorderly person on his hands, and the
more the prisoner hangs back the more
disastrous the consequences will be There
are different degrees of roughness among
different policemen, but the man who
hangs back and is troublesome never falls
to get the worst of It, and It goes against
him in the police court.
Tough women, especially colored, are
the most troublesome prisoners to hardle.
The Innate chivalry in a big, stalwart po
liceinau nearly always tends to make him
hold lilshandwhana worn in, blackor white
is the prisoner, and the trouble they some
limes take to land a female at the station
bouse should procure them an Increase
or salary
NO EASY TASK TO TAKE nEP.
There is at present in South'Wnshington
a colored woman by the name of Rose
Craig, who lias a police court record cov
ering almost the entire period of her existence-
She hnrdlj cer spends more than
five days at a time out of the workhouse,
nnd her proud boast Is that she can lick
any man In her neighborhood.
When he has been drinking nnd is In a
fighting humor, it is no easy task to
take her to the patrol box. She has re
sMed the officers e-iery time she has
been arretted, scratching, biting, pound
ing and kicking them, bat she has never jet
felt the blow of a club.
It has. frequently been ne-cessary for tho
officers to drag her three or Tour squares
in the mud, and to hit on her In the patrol
wagon, but whatever cracked heads she
may iave KT.tai.itil live not been due tu
the rosowooil sticks In the hands of the
guardians of the peace.
The Cheslerflcldt, jt the polfee Torce,

come uuder their supervision are much
higher than the ordinary run of petty
offenders who are picked up by the patrol

serious nature and more artistically com
mitted. Tbe detectives wear citizens' clothes,
have only a reMilver in their hip pockets,
and are very dignl fled and impressive when
making arre&ts. The formula In "ordinary
cases is, "I want you to go-to. headquarters
with me." and If tho other party to Uie
conversation Is wise, he VIII comply as
rapidly as his dignity nilipermlt. I Che. Is

"The Dark S-ccret," a Henry Lacry, the
colored detective. Is styled ty his fellow
sleuths. Is remarkably successful in making
arrtsts among colored offenders against
tbe statutes, and he "very rarely "has any
troub'e in convincing a man that his best
play will be to go along with him. lie
never uses force of any kind, cut there Is
a general impression that If it becomes
necessary he could ue a great deal, and
consequently his prisoners never give him
the opportunity.
DONE AWA.Y WITH IT.
The system ot patrol boxes has dorw
away with the necessity, of Jaklng a
prisoner along the street for any great
dl-tauee, and has considerably lessened
the chances ot escape by doing up the
officer, as they did in the early days
Now, as every beat has two or more botes
on it, the policeman has only a square or
two to take his prisoner before he sends
in a telephonecall for thepatrol wagon.
There are teveral recognized means of
taking a prisoner ti a box , va rying slightly,
Dt eiiure. according to the officer. Moral
suasion is the first course.
The offender is notlficdUiat he is under
arrest, and If a gentle s at the coat
sleeve falls to moe him, a firmer grasp
on the arm Itelf is taken The grip fa
usually pretty determined, aid vtrj fre
quently Induces a man about to "buck" to
itiangc his mind and go nltmg quietly.
It it does not, however, tho "nippers"
are nest resorted to, and the exquisite
torture that can be produced by a well
applied dose of those little instruments
rarely fails to cimvlnce- the most dis
orderly character that discretion is the
best part of being pulled. When a man
"lays down on the nippers," though, as
It is termed when the prisoner simply
floors himself and refuses to budge,
pain or no pain, outside assistance Is
called and he is picked up bodily and
earned to the box-. And wiieirtlic wagon
conies id such cases the bucking individual
is treated pretty -much .is a big of flour
would be ghen a couple of swings nt
'be hands of his emptors, and, loaded into
the wagon with a considerable thud.

Poach.
very rare, while policemen themselves
are so frequently assaulted and brutally
beaten that it is a. wonder they do not
use more violence. One of the recent
instances of that nature was the assault
committed upon policeman Greer, then ot
the Eighth precinct, by a numl erof negro
toughs. Greer bad arrested Batter Jiinor
for"fat driving, and was about to carry
hisuprisoner to tbe patrol box, when he
wassct upon by hatf a eVzen otherncgroes,
led by a son of the prltorcr, and beaten -into
insensibility. He was kept at the
hospital under constant treatment for sev
eral weeks before he was even able ta
walk around.
Perhaps one of the most troablesom
prisoners ever brought Into the First pre
cinct was a strapping young Virginia
mountaineer farmer, who came, to Wash
ington last winter, and started out to
calsomlne the town with crimson He had
a satchel which contained a Jug filled with
whisky which he had evidently distilled
himsclf.and It was of the wildest and most
lurid variety. Frequent pulls at the Jug
had filled him with a yearning for trouble,
and he jup afoul of a couple of offlccn
near the market and got It.
The first two were unable to cope with
him. He successfully kept Inem off for
several minutes, throwing them down ai
fast as they got at "him, and they finally
resorted to their whistles. Two other
officers and a sergeant responded, and
after a bard fight they finally succeeded
in getting the nippers on both wrists and
taking him to the station house
The nippers are persuasive little instru
ments that deserve a special dtscription.
They resemble a chain bridle bit, being
only a little longer, and when thrown
around a wrist, however tough it may be,
a couple of gentle twists will do the work.
Tbey are easily applied, and a policeman's
equipment is incomplete without them.
