THE OSTRICH POLICEMAN. A policeman at Tower Bridge Police Court said that he saws some bovs playing cards and went home and put on an old coat and waistcoat and blackened his face. He then went back; and when he got near them a woman standing by shouted "Hi, boys! Here comes the copper.’’ Mr Campion, the magistrate: How did she know you were a police officer?. Policeman: I had my uniform trous":s on. Mr Campion: You were like the proverbial ostrich. Because you had blackened your head you forgot that the eagle eye of a woman would pick out your police trousers.
