WORLD’S OLDEST COP IS DEATH ON MASHERS I TJl'TTJ;, Mom. —Ninety-eight-year old Sam Pretino swung his club and made a motion to give puisoit to a youngster who was cutting the cor ner on the park grass before he turned to answer the question. “Being the oldest policeman in the world is a ‘pipc.f ’* lie said, twirling the mace. ‘All you have to do is to shoot the kids oii’ii the pausy beds here m the park in the summer, and to see that none of them young fellers gits too fresh with the girls that parade the streets in these now short skirts." Sam’s been listed on the police roster here lor so long that even offi cials themselves can't remember when he started. Ltiirn in Jersey Sam1 was born in 1824 in the an cient fishing village of Barnegat, N. J. With him, being a policeman is an avocation. He started as a plain clothesinan in the government secret service at the time of the St. Louis whisky ring before the Civil War. Sam. pounding the wall with his club to emphasize his remarks, says: “In i 8G1 r was Lincoln’s personal bodyguard on the way from Illinois to Washington for the inaugura tion.’’ Daring to have that statement questioned and have it pointed out that if all such claims were true, Lincoln must have had 0,000 body guards. Sam assumes an air of in jured dignity. Sprinter. Too “I was a champion sprinter in my time, too." he adds. "Lincoln once said to me: ‘Well, Sam, you can run faster than I can, but i can split more rails than you.* But l don’t suppose you believe that, either." Sam says he went into the north west first, in 1858 to watch for poach ing Canadian trappers. Now ho has switched to watching for mashers. •‘.Sec those numbers on my badge?" He displayed it proudly. ‘•Twenty-three! That don’t mean anything special for me, for I’m go ing to live a long time yet. But it means ’git’ for them young masher fellers." NO. 14 i u ... ....
