set fire to the old grass on his premises, TO get

neighborhood. A lady who is nearly blind
was the first to observe the danger and give
the alarm. Il appears that the women folks
in that neighborhood have organized a female
FIRE brigade. uniting their garden hose for the
protection of their homes, and when the alarm
was given they rallied as promptly as though
thoroughly drilled for emergency. All the
masculines were pressed into service TO aid
the department, and by the use OF hose,
buckets of water and wet clothes the fire
was, after long and hard fight, suppressed.
Then the department took up the hose, rolled
down their sleeveg, and went home to cook
supper. But, joking aside, the ladies did ex-
cellent work.
