Considering the Centennial Celebrations Considerable Enthus1asm Displayed
 A Working Committee Appointed.
 A meeting of the Veteran Firemen's asso- citation was held last evening in their hall in the Insurance building. In the absence of President Camp, Charles AtWater, vice president, presided.
 It was suggested that the rope of Hercules engine, which belongs to the association, be heightened SO that more men could be as. signed to the drag ropes. The matter was referred to the committee on engines in view of the coming centennial celebration. On a motion to turn out in uniform on the occasion of the centennial celebration, twen' six members expressed their intention to be present.
 Veteran Charles E. Hayes said he thought it early to take action on this matter. He believed that more than one hundred would appear on the day named in full uniform He said he believed that the veteran firemer would take an interest in the celebration ot the one hundredth anniversary of the organ ization of the city government.
 A communication from Burton Mansfield, secretary of the committee on centennial celebration, inviting the veteran fremen to participate Tn the centennial ceIeDrat1on was read.
 Fire Commissioner Luther E. Jerome, 8 member of the association, advocated prompt action. He said the idea of putting of de- tails and arrangements until the last moment was disastrous.
 Veteran Charles E. Hayes moved that 8 committee of seven be appointed to ascer- tain how many will parade on July 4th in uniform, or otherwise. The motion was paeaad and MT Havaa Uaa QnDoinEed chair- man of the committee. with power to select the remaining members of the committee. He selected Bernard McManus, W. W. King, B. F. Crockett, Henry Ruff, John M. Hardy and Fred Schuesler.
 The association adjourned for one week from last evening. During this time the sec- retary will endeavor to get full meeting by notifying the members by postal card.

virtually nothing for the others to do
but to carry it out.

up, and the Berghaus contingent just
arrived, together with two friends of

HOW TO PREACH.

Make no apologies, If you have the
Lords message, deliver it; if not, hold
your peace. Have short prefaces and
introductions. Say your best things first,
and stop before you get prosy. Do not
spoil the appetite for dinner by too much
thin soup Leave self out of the pulpit
and take Jesus in. Defend the gospel
and let the Lord defend you and your
character. IF you are lied about, thank
the devil for putting you on your guard,
and take care that the story shall never
come true. Let your beard grow. Throw
away your oravat. Ifyou do not ''want
to break" make your collar an inch larg-
er, and give the blood chance to flow
back to the heart. Do not get excited
too soon. Don run away from your hear
ers. Engine driving wheels fly fast with
no load, but when they draw anything
they go slower. It takes cold hammer
to bend hot iron. Heat the people, but
keep the hammer cool Do not bawl and
scream Too much water stops mill
wheels, and too much noise browns
sense. Empty vessels ring the loudest.
