BIG CROWD GATHERS

New York.—James M. Howard, pas
tor of the Bedford Park Presbyterian
church, who saw service as a chaplain
with the Seventy-seventh division over
seas, has been going to bed early since
his return to America some time ago,
and until 11 o’clock one night recently
nothing had occurred to disturb his
slumbers.
He scarcely dozed off when he
dreamed that the bell in the steeple
of his church was ringing as though
sounding a warning of an attack by
hostile airplanes.
The dream soon resolved itself into
a partial reality, and sitting up in bed
be realized that it was in fact the bell
in the steeple of his church on the
corner of Two Hundredth street and
Bainbridge avenue, the Bronx,, and
that fully 40 automobiles filled with
people were in front of the church
looking at the belfry.
He dressed and as he was about to
go out of the door met Policeman
Charles Hess of the Bronx Park sta
tion. whose attention had been attract
ed by the crowd and tlie ringing of
the bell. Accompanied by the police
man and the sexton of the church, who
had also appeared on the scene, the
{ former chaplain let himself into the
building and the trio proceeded to
investigate.
Pushing open the door of the bel
fry he discovered Donald Hobson of
* 2436 Morris avenue, who recently was
released from the navy, and who is
one of his own parishioners.
In a few words, however, Ilobscn
was able to explain his end of the

case. It seems that before he enlisted
in the navy, two years ago, he had
been a prominent member of the Bed
ford Park Glee club and that upon bis
return to civilian life his companions
had decided that it was time to stage
a concert in honor of his safe return.
He had been made the victim of a
practical joke by his friends.
POLICE DOG IS REAL HERO
Breaks Leg While Herding Boys Out
of Danger of Speeding Auto
mobile.
New York.—Bum, the celebrated po
lice dog of the Brownsville station,
has been granted a sick leave, so that
a broken hind leg, received in the per
formance of duty, may mend.
Bum was led into the station by
Policeman Becker. He refused to al
low his escort to carry him. He stood
at attention while Becker made a re
port of the case and went with Beck
er to the policeman's home, where he
will stay until the leg is better.
Bum was on duty with Policeman
Becker in Pitkin avenue, near Bristol
street. Some children in Bristol street
screamed at the approach of an auto
mobile and Bum dashed out. The chil
dren were not hit, but he was run
over, and when he got up his left leg
was dangling. A surgeon on a passing
ambulance set the leg, and the neigh
borhood veterinary put it in splints.
Bum is a French poodle with a long
pedigree. He was acquired by the
Brownsville station about three years
ago. Along Pitkin avenue he tours
with his favorites, who are Policemen
Becker, Kanuch and SehneidermuHer.
He rides in passing automobiles,
street cars and is always on the pa
trol wagon when it makes its rounds.
He is indispensable in keeping crowds
back at fires.
Pitkin avenue merchants recently
presented Bum with a sweater coat
