even the men showed a nervous alert
ness. But the curator of the zoo was
perfectly at case He held a big eight
footer out for Mizzl Hajos W pet, and
she. gasping, touched its sheathed head.
Tho menu was arranged carefully for
the occasion Thero were oysters, walk

AS COLD WAVE ARRIVES
Taoony Policemen Greeted by Sur
prise Volley Prom Pike County.
Drivers of wagons in Tacony had cause
to rub their eyes with reelings akin tc
surprise today. The cause of the eye-rubbing
was also the cause of their rubbing
cettaln other parts of their anatomy, al
though In the latter case with feelings
akin to something else. One of them,
afraid there was something wrong some
where, dashed into tho Tncony police sta
tion. "I ain't a drinking man," he told the
sergeant, "but ns sure as I stand here
there's a bunch of kids out there snow
balling." Tho coppers laughed, but were forced
to agree when on stepping outside they
got a couple of ftozen "Berthas" Inn led
with dazzling accuracy In the pit of their
own stomachs.
Tho boys had gathered the ammunition
from thp top of two freight cars from
Pike Countv, which were oif a siding in
mo yaru oi me uissionujsw Works.
immediately on the heels of the heavy
rainstorm of Sunday, the predicted cold
weather has put In its appearance. The
cold wave, borne eastward by a stiff
northwest wind, knocked tho mercury
from 62 degrees yesterday morning to
close to the freezing point at S o'clock
today.
It will be somewhat warmer during
the day, due to the Influence of the sun
but tonight it will react again, and the
weatherman promises a stlffer tempera
ture at that time.
Philadelphia, however. Is not the only
place suffering from a cold snap In
some parts of Canada the bottom has
dropped out of the thermometer nnd
bitter winter weather has arrived.
Temperatures several degrees below
the freezing point prevail lu Cleveland.

after he had signaled a clear road to an
eastbound train, Michael McCarthy, offl.
clal flagman nt tho Swarthmore railroad
station, today gave his opinion about the
negro elevator boy In New York who
stopped President Wilson beoause he
didn't have his visiting card,
McCarthy, according to natives of
Swarthmore, Is the best flagman who ever
wielded a white flag in that section. He
has a silver loving cup, given to him by
school children, and alto many written
testimonials regarding his good record
Strange to say, McCarthy himself held
up President Wilson at one time. It hap
pened last summer. McCarthy Insists the
Chtef Magistrate of the nation Is no bet
ter than a rallioad flagman when It comes
to obeying orders.
DUTV FIRST, HIS MOTTO.
"Just picture to yourself what would
happen If I didn't obey my orders,'' said
McCarth), as he waved a whlto flag to syj
passing local train.
"It Is the enme way with the President
of tho nation," he continued, smiling to
a group of students returning from j
Swarthmore College, j
"Gracious me, you have no idea what tf
would have happened if I would have R
permitted .president Wilson's automobile
to cross the tracks last summer."
When President Wilson entered a fash
ionable apartment house In New York to
call upon his sister, Mrs. Anne Wilson
Howe, It happened he didn't have his
visiting card with him. The elevator bov
promptly refused to deliver the Presl-'j
dent's message.
After considerable cross-examining, the
nesiaent convinced the ivegro ot ins
identity and his message was delivered.
"President Wilson Is a splendid gen-
tloman," continued McCarthy. "I Voted'
for him And then you know I have
several fine sons, who also voted for i
him.
"That Negro boy over In New Yolk
acted rlsht. Ho was there to oboy or

porals, sergeants and lieutenants In the
German army disobeyed the orders of I

SECRET SERVICE MAN NON
FLUSSED. "Now about my experiences with the
President. It happenod this way. There
was a train standing there at the depot
and another was down the line. My gates,
were down when an automobile came
along. I told the gent who was drlvipg
the machine he couldn't cross. To my
surprise a Secret Service operative
jumped out of the automobile- The de
tective ran up to me and said;
"The President Is In the car."
"My gates are down and no automobile
will pass while Michael McCarthy Is
flagman here," I teplled.
"After argulngovlth me the detective
saw he was wrong and went back to the
machine. When the road was clear I
permitted the nutompblle to paBS. And
please say that when the machine
crossed the tracks I bowed and saluted
