POLICEMEN v. 'BUSMEN.

The annual match between the busmen and the police in a country town was always an exciting event, and this game was mo exception. The excitement began when the pride of the police team was run out. Hitting an easy ball the stout policeman ran as he hald never run before, and was well past the stumps when the bails were knocked off by a good return from the field. Nobody appealed; but "Out you go!" came from the umpire. v"Out!" protested the perspiring man. "Why I was a couple of yards past the stumps!" "None of, that now," commanded the umpire. l "Do you remember saying to me yesterday: 'Don't argue with the law?' You was the. law then, and you runs tne in. I am the law now. and I runs you out. 'Op it!"
