OVER FIVE HUNDRED FIRES
Extinguished by the Star Hand Grenade
During the First Year After Its
Introduction,

During the First Year After Its
Introduction.
Like all other good things, the Star Hand
Grenade has been initiated. and worthless
grepsdes have been placed upon the market,
which are not only infringements of the
Star Hand Grenade patents, but frauds u pom
the public. All parties having these in their
possession, or manufacturing or selling
them, are liable to prosecution for infringe
ment Of the patent lave. The Star Hand
Grenade still maintains its high reputation
as affording the only perfect grenade for ex-
tinguishing fires in their incipiency. The
Insurance Standard, in q recent number,
calls attention TO the fact that after thor
ough test of all other alleged hand grenades,
il was chosen for use in all the departments
of the United States Government at Wash
iugton as the only one that could be relied
upon as fire-extinguisher. 1t is also being
used in q vast number of public schools. fac
tories and large buildings all over the coun-
try: and it is known that during the first
year Of its introduction to the public over
SEQ fires have been exiting uished by its use,
thus saving great amount OF property from
destruction. A. n. Alexander is the State
Agent for the Star Hand Grenade, with
headquarters in this city.

The hour Was ten. the night was dark,
The fast express was late,
And II there is IN railroad lie
One thing j fercely hate,
IT'S finishing run up Ike
An owl train or freight
The dear old engine shot ahead.
Though big the load she drew:
Regardless quite of cloud and night,
She shook herself and few:
And. spite of grades and curves and cuts,
drove the darling through.
III
! thought knew the tricks and ways
OF every one horse road
That crossed the track. and small respect
To any such showed;
But whistled Tor the crossings, while
Our speed wss scarcely slowed.
Just SIS we flew around curve,
And dsrted through cut,
saw q sight that made me start
ASH felt shot:
a freigh, train lay before US, like
A wagon In a rut.
Across the track its length was stretched.
And not wheel was stirred,
While down the grade my big machine
Went flying Ike q bird:
Ipulled the rope. and worked the valves,
But could not speak word.

We speeded like flash,
With not hope out that we might
Go through II with dash,
And could only stand and stare
And await the coming crash.

oh, who can tell their worth?
Above all values wealth can give.
Or rank, or place, or birth:
And such head az such time
Outweighs the solid earth.

IT wasn't mine-some other mans:
"A brakeman on the freight
Who saw us aiming at his train
And coming for 1t straight;
And when he got his work IN. you
May bet he didn't wait.
quick as thought that fellow jumped
And pulled coupling pin,
And thus he cut the train in two
just where the rails begin.
And signifed 10 his en- yineer
To 60 ahead like sin.
The engine puts and pants: the train
Starts slowly like snail.
And through q little space see
Our line of shining rail:
But when we sped across the space,
BY very beard turned pale.

We tore away with ease;
But thar was nothing; down / dropped
And prayed upon my knees
That might never know again
So very tight q squeeze.

Where was standing then,
You might have said that IL would test
The powers OF tongue or pen
To well describe that brakeman's deed:
