LATE COL. GRASF,TT A FINE CHIEF CONSTABLE It was as a policereporter some 30 years ago that we met the late Col. Grasett for the, first time, and since then we have always thought of him in the lines, admiring if not 'altogether respectful, that Kipling used about an- other soldier- "Thhere's a little red faced man, --Which is Bobs." The late Chief Constable was a man of perhaps ordinary dimensions but surrounded as he nearly always was by .burlypolicemen he looked smaller, and this lack of stature made him con- spicuous. It would be, difficult and invidious to say who was the best chief or police Toronto ever had, but it ieesimple justice to say that Col. Grasett held a position in the eyes of the force that none of his suc- cessors is likely to have. The men re- garded him with mingled awe and respect. One reason was, perhaps, a snobbish one. 'He came from 'a differ- ent social stratum. He was, in the old fashioned sense of the word, a gentle- man. We doubt if there was ever a man who served under Co. H. J. Gras- ett who entertained the democratic, not to say Bolshevik, notion that .he 'was as good as the chief constable. Certainly none of the older men who .bec'aree 'office43j ever indulged this fantastic idea. We do not suppose that he ever arrested anyone in his life, though we have a vague memory that he em- barked upon this enterprise once in Queen's Park, only to be hurriedly re- lieved of his prisoner by several scan- dalized policemen, who presumably felt much as court attendants would feel if they saw the King struggling with a piece of furniture. We recall one personal contact with Col. Grasett which will indicate the discipline he imposed upon the officers under him, and to which they submitted as soldiers' may have submitted to the Duke. of 'wellington. There was a fire on King Street west one night and with some other reporters, we were on the scene, watching the flames from a doorway across the street. A police inspector was moving the crowd along and came to the group of re- porters. "Move on," he said. We de- clined to move on and explained that we were reporters. We were also, as he was to learn if the facts were not visible, very young and very dignified reporters. He disregarded our protests for it may be that he did not know any of us, and even when we produc- ed our police p'a'sses, signed by the Chief Oonsta.bl'e, he ignored them, and we were escorted beyond the police lines. +{9P g at d s laa}li g r „*1-114 4.4 deck, iur ? 104pedler ete941 a'ttc1P on But what ;ove Were v!t">ash ,ti ?u 11,1 " e }'off} O ut a o1q 3 c iof , a 011ready Jg.tb ade aiq an a 'as 41.e +aecl act' gof lour, stetteane��ks 'anc _, proc led at oxuee to 6 rbh'e, hider of the. ;inapec- ta>*.

"You root'~not,'' retor4ed the chief, and he proceeded. "to finislh what he had to say. •At, the dnd 14. it he. shook hands. with us and presently we left the 'office. All of. us. ,presently sorry for that inspector,.. who was, IS a, matter of fact; one of the best on thieforee, but we •felt; too, ,that. the rights of the press had been 'vindicated. e For ,many 'years the chief of staff for Col., Grasett was•tihe late Deputy Chief 'Stewart; 'universally . referred to on the force as the "depitty." He was a North of Ireland martinet, straight as a rush throughout his six feet two or three inches and enjoying boundless popularity on the force. But many times we have • sat with police- men in stables or in front of station houses when either the chief or the deputy passed. In fact one did not need to look up to see'which of them was passing. He could judge by the panic-stricken, haste of the men to scramble to their feet and button their tunics when the chief constable was near. Rarely did he speak , to the men. Pe merely gave a quick glance at then, and ruddy countenances would show the pallor of guilt because of an appearance of slackness that was obnoxious to his military eye. It was the depitty that disciplined the rank and file! Not often was one of tlenepermitted a 'tremulous audience of the great little man himself. Yet it. was the Ohief Constable whose glare or presence could reduce them to confusion and panic. The late Col. Grasett was a com- panion -in -arms and a life-long friend of the late George Taylor Denison, w'ho with the late Judge McDougall and afterwards for many years with Judge Morson, formed the police com- mission. The mayor was an ex -of- ficio member of the board but mayors come and go while the judge and the magistrate• remained as something permanent•in the world of the Toron- to policeman. We do not recall any appeals sof a member of the force ov- er. the Ihe.ad of the chief constable to the board. While Col. Grasett was theef there was no talk about promot- ing a man from the ranks to head the force on the ground that he would have a better knowledge of police work, because it would have been dif- ficult for any member of the force to name another ,member whom he thought Sit for the job. The late chief constable, while firm with the men, was fair. He was courteous to the general public and under him t h e policemen were never permitted to forget that after all the taxpayers paid their salaries and maintained them.

When they are fretful, fussy and disinclined to •play you may he sure something is wrong. Almost invariably that something lies in the digestive tract. It is to meet the need for an abso- lutely safe corrective of childhood ail- ments that Babyrysl Own Tablets have been designed. They gently regulate the stomach and bowels and thus drive out constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and allay teething pains. Concerning them Mrs. W. E. Forsyth, Dover, N. B., writes:—"I would not be without Baba's Own Tablets as I know of nothin'g to equal them for fretful, fussy babies who are troubled with colds or sour stomach." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. O.A.C. Scholarships. Between 50 and 60 scholarship win- ners who are among the freshmen class which enrolled recently for the fall term at the 0",A.C,, Guelph, are to have their fees remitted, according to instructions issued by Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, ;Minister. of Agriculture. The saving to the students will be $1;000 it is estimated. Among the scholarship students are 15 farm boys who won two years' tuition at the college—the gift of a large Toronto merchandisingi firm. These particu- lar scholarships carry with them a cash prize of $100 to be paid over the school term. The 15 boys in question were selected from the 500 young farmers who attended the Royal Win- ter. Fair last fall and wrote essay ex- aminations on what they saw and did while there.
