A LITTLE Fun WITH HoPK1Ns.-St

A LITTLE Fun WITH HoPK1Ns.-Some
six years ago, says Max Adeler in Sat-
urday Night, a new fire company was
organized at Reading, and the members
one evening thought they would have a
little fun at the expense Of Hopkins,
their foreman. They decided to rush
around with the engine to Hopkins
house after dark, to throw up their lad
ders, put out their hose, climb on his
roof and scare him with the belief that
his dwelling was on fire. But that very
day Hopkins moved out of the house,
and q Presbyterian clergyman moved
in, without the company being aware
of the change. So about 8 o'clock the
humorits rushed out, and went through
all the movements, getting on the roof
and splashing the water around, and
creating a terrible disturbance general
ly. A rival company noticing what
was going on also hurried to the scene,
and without understanding the joke,
attached their hose to plug, smashing
in the front windows, and began to
empty two-inch stream on the family
of that Presbyterian Clergyman. They
squirted into all the rooms, split up the
window shutters with an AK, broke
down, the front door, ran out the furni-
ture, tore off the shingles and bawlcd
through the trumpets, until the hired
girl had commissions on the kitchen
stairs The first company tried to ex-
plain, but the new corners thought they
were trying to get them out of the way,
and fight ensued, and presently fire.
men were sliding off the roof, and pelt-
ing down the chimneys, and bleeding
over the entry carpet, and having bois-
ferrous encounters with spanners and
brass horns on the stairs And the
next morning that Presbyterian divine
and his family moved out They said
the place seemed to be too animated and
sensational for quiet domestic circle.
They wanted a house where there was
more calmness and peace; where they
could have more security for their priva-
cy and pianos, and for their front doors,
and shingles, and peace Of mind and
window-sashcs. r.

our hunks inside the cabins and threw
us down in our clothes and slept. It
was an experiment for life or death.

The experiment was failure. The

NOT USED 70 ELEVATORS.

A few evenings since, an odd-looklng
character entered one Of the leading
hotels of this city, and after scrawllng :;
his name, "John Higgins, Sucker Fiat = :
upon the register, cast down wv
piece upon the counter, and asked tor
q "good room" The obliging clerk
locked him 4s8, somewhere in the attic,
and John Higgins, Of Sucker Flat, was
shown into the elevator. For some
reason or another the boy was not at
his post, and Higgins, supposing it to
be the room in which he was to pass
the night, Immediately began toundress.
| In O few moments the elevator boy
returned. and found Higgins minus
everything but his undershirt and draw
ers. The gentleman from Sucker Flat
was considerably surprised at what he
considered the unceremonious intrusion
of the boy, and demanded why he had
dared to come into gentleman's room
without knocking. The boy took in the
situation at a glance, and seeing a
party of ladies coming up, with the APP
parent purpose of ascending in the ele-
vator, concluded that Higgins must be
got out of the way as soon as possible,
and giving the rope tug, sent the APP
paratus skyward. The moment the
thing began to ascend Higgins began
to bound about the confined apartment
like Gagged lunatic, and for a while it
was hard to tell which of the two was
most thoroughly frightened, Higgins of
the boy. At last they reached the top
floor and came to dead halt. Here
the Sucker Flat man burst open the door
and rushed out of the elevator airly
clad in the simple costume of red un-
dershirt and white drawers. lie was
closely followed by the boy, who was
evidently anxious to get the guest into
room 49S as soon as the circumstances
would permit. AS luck would have it,
however, number of chambcrmaids
were just passing the spot, and, as
Higgins broke loose in their midst, they
filled the upper corridors with unearthly
shrieks and fled in different directions.
At last, by the assistance of several
waters, Higgins was caught and taken
to his room, where his wearing apparel
was afterwards brought TO him. Hig-
gins now uses the stairs when he wants
to go up or DOWNS. +. Chronicle

soDoM AND GoMoRRAH

SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
On Shinar's plains two cities rose,
Enclosed with alls of stone,
10 ma ke secure from outward foes
Their great king's sta tely throne.
They rocked not of a greater foe,
The foe they held within; u
But on their wicked course they go,
Intent alone on sin.
Now where are Sodom's marble piles,
GoInorrah's mighty walls!
The elimy reptile now defiles
Their altars and their halls.
These mighty cities of the plains
Are sunk benea In the flood,
And not single wreck remains
To tell where once they stood.
I. They filled the measure of God's ire,
Aud then His anger fell,
With storms OF birthstone, hail and fire,
And swept them down to hell.
Oh. all ye nations. hear His word,
And heed it ere too late.
Lest fierce destruct tion from the Lord
Should he your purchased fate
