"MINISTEK FOR FUNERAL”
MEANT WHISKY FOR PARTY
Denver. More than MOO “ministers”
are reposing in tho vault at the city
jail here otay .
It all camfl about when Sergeant
George A. Hellers obtained the “pass
word" of a bootlegger.
Sergeant Hellers called a number
and asked for a “minister for a fu
neral." In a short time a man ar
rived with a quart of white horse
whisky.
The sergeant took him in charge
and led him to his home, where he
uncovered several caches.
It was learned that if a buyer
wanted wine he .asked for “a preacher
for a wedding.” If he wanted beer
he called for “someone to officiate at
a baptism,” and if he asked for a
red-faced sky pilot” he got moon
shine.

A Hopeless Task.
William .T. Burns, the famous de
tective, said to a Washington corre
spondent the other day
“Shadowing is one of the hardest
jobs a detective 'has to learn. The
first time a new detective starts out
to shadow a man or woman—to
shadow without being seen, you know
—he is up against as hopeless a task
as the two boys at the football field.
“Two boys stood before the en
trance gate of a football field. They
had no money, but they were deter
mined to outwit the gatekeeper some
how and get in and see the game.
!
“They suggested scheme after
scheme to one another, and finally, the
older boy said:
“'I got it now! We’ll walk in
backwards ami he’ll think we're dom
ing out.’ ”
If You (Jet What He Means.
“Pa, what’s a scintilla?”
“A scintilla? Why—er—a scintilla
is something there isn't anything of.”
—Boston Transcript.
Peking, May lit.—Heavy cannonad
ing was audible yesterday from Kou
minchum and Feng Tien lines, north
