Monarch's Burial Place
? Not Definitely Known
There is some uncertainty as to the
flnal reRtlng place of Alexander tho
Great, who died at ItnbyJon. The body
was prepared for transportation to
Macedonia, and Philip -Arridncns,
whom the army chose to succeed Alexander
conjointly with the latter's posthumous
son, was entrusted with the
funeral rites. He left Babylon with
the body, Intending to convey it to
Greece. Tho accounts as to what happened
after that are conflicting. It
seems that Philip learned that during
his life Alexander had expressed n desire
to be interred in Egypt. Philip
therefore altered his course and went
to Egypt. Lagus, one of Alexander's
favorite generals, who was satrap of
Kffypt, got possession of the body and
placed it temporarily at Memphis. Lator,
It is supposed, it was interred with
great pomp at lhe now city of Alexandria.
The Ampersand
The sign is called the ampersand.
The term is a corruption of the
expression "and per se and." meaning
"and by Itself Is and," which refers
to the fact that the sign when followed
by n o (Sic) means nnd so
forth. More common nowadays In this
nse is "etc.." tlie abbreviation of the
Latin words of cetera. The script
ampersand, a cross made with one
stroke of the pen. is still very common.
In type the ampersand is most
commonly used in the abbreviation of
firm names.

The son laughed.

Helping the Cause
Two men attended a village church
tea for which the tickets were sixpence
each. The profits were to go
toward providing comforts for the
aged poor of the village.
Ellison, after accounting for ten cup.*
of tea, eight sandwiches, three plateg
of bread nnd butter, five jam tarts, and
four small buns, was passing his cup
for the eleventh time when he turned
to his companion and said: "I think
every one should enconrnge a thing ol
this sort, as It's for a good cause."?

of NEW YORK J
I'oljce Commissioner Edward |?, Mulrooney
is a ruther quiet man. but.
when lie Ih In the mood, one of the
most interesting talkers 1 know, lie
has a keen, observing mind, a thorough
understanding of police problems and
the relation between the force and the
> public, a tremendous knowledge of
human nature, and a grand sense of
humor. Why shouldn't he haye with
a name such as Mulrooney? The policing
of a city such us New York
culls for a commissioner with strength
and judgment, and Mulrooney has
both. I imagine he cau he pretty firm
and cold on occasion; but you can't
talk to tho man long without hearing
the heat of the warm Irish heart In
him. You may suspect that I like Mulrooney.
and I do. Maybe It Is because
w<f> both hre old-fashioned enough to
like big league baseball better than
midget golf and agree that the big

"Who would have supposed," says
Commissioner Mulrooney, "that you
ever would see a Tom Thumb golf
course on Fiftieth street? It makes
you think that Manhattan real estate
may not he so valuable after all. But
they are keeping these courses open
n little late. I think an ordinance
will he passed to close them at 1 a.
m. Thai's late enough for any golfer
to- get home. These places are getting
to need a little regulation."
- * *
I said that afulrooney had a sense
of humor. He also has a sense of
drama, lie can tell you stories that
would keep you listening for hours,
and he always holds his. suspense and
drops his curtain on the big thrills. 1
asked him whether good detective
work?-be once was head of the detective
bureau?was not mainly perseverance,
courage and common sense.
He said a hue detective must have
more than that, one of his greatest
qiu?lincat-ioiis?heing the ability to put
himself In the other man's place and.'
from that angle, figure his line of .
thought. lie Illustrated his point.

"We got word," said Mulrooney.
"that an embezzler, who was badly
wanted, was heading for New York on
a railroad with its terminal ,Jn New
Jersey. That meant he would have
to come in on a train ferry, so we covered
them all. Those were the days
of horses; it was before tnxlcabs had
come in. We had received such short
notice that by the time the detective
i who went to the Twenty-third street
ferry got there, the boat he wanted
to meet was in and the passengers
gone. He knew all the hackmen, bur
?that wnsn't going to get him any
thing. They were a tough lot and i!
-was not in their code to help n cop.
Still he asked them if they had driven
anywhere a man such as he described.
No, they had seen no such man. What
with handling bags and the confusion
of a boat crowd, they had not time to
' take note of people they drove.
~ > .
"It was then." continued Mulrooney.
"that the man showed real qualities as
a detective.
" 'I'm sorry!' he exclaimed. T cor
talnly did want to got that fellow.
It's a shame he got away.'
" 'What did he do?' asked one of
the hackmen. - ,<=xu-- >
"The detective knew that if he explained
the mfln made off with a lot
of dough the hnckmen would wish Mm
all the luck In the world, so ho used
a bit of imagination.
* Y *
f "'The dirty skunk!' said the hackman.
'Now that I come to think of it.
I do remember a man like that one
you describe. The driver who took
him isn't back yet, but he'll ho hack
r in a minute and we'll find out where
1 he went. You wait.'
"So the detective waited. Sure
1 enough, the driver returned and all
the hackmen gathered around him.
as eager as the detective for news mf
his fare. When he heard the details,
ha took- the detective In his hack and
made good time to a hotel. There was
1 - the man, who soon was on his way to
1 the police station. The hackman certainly
had done their bit in the cap1
ture, but they had acted under a slightly
mistaken impression.
"You see," concluded Mulrooney,
1 "the detective hadn't mentioned rmi
bezzlement. He told them thnt the
man had murdered his old mother and
cut off her head with a razor."
