Chat with Il Veteran Fireman-What
Ninety-Nine Out Of q Hundred
Are Likely to Do-The
Proper Course.
[Chicago Tribune.l

The terrible death of James Carr at a re-
cent north side fire chanced to be mentioned
the other day during a conversation between
q veteran fireman attached to one of the
down town engine companies and a reporter.
at is too bad" said the reporter, that 50
brave a follow should have lost his life after
having done so much for his fellow-work-
men,"
Yes, it is too bad" assented the fireman,
as he gazed refectively at ths ceiling; but
do you know that there was really no reason
in the world why be should have died as he
didp
How do you figure it outl"
swell, it's just like this: Most people
never give any thought to what they would
do in case they were caught in burning
building, and there IS probably not one in q
thousand who wouls have known how to
save himself if he had been placed where
Carr was at that fire. Now, supposing you
were unfortunate enough to be in a building
that was fire and were obliged to look to a
window of the third or fourth story as your
only means Of escape. What would you
dor
"Wby, suppose l would climb out on the
window-ledge and howl for a ladder, or q
rope, or something
~Yes, l suppose you would And II the
smoke got too thick for you or it should be-
come hot enough to make you think you
were being slowly roasted to death, and
there was no immediate propect Of ladder
being raised to you, what would you do
then.'
"In such case suppose would jump and
take my chances
"And that is just what ninety-nine out Of
. hundred would do if similarly situated
The hundredth man would keep his head,
and, after getting on the ledge, he would
close the window behind him. That would
of course cut off the smoke that was suffo-
eating him, and, in case there was
much heat behind him, it would cut
that off too. He would then have a COM
paratively cool place where he could remain
for fifteen or twenty minutes longer than he
would have been able to do if the window
had been left open By that time, in this
city anyway, a ladder would have been
raised to him and he would have an easy
descent to the ground"
But if they could not get ladder to him,
what thepF
"In any case they would be able to get
rope to him, either from the roof of the ad-
joining building or from the street.
"True; but they got a rope to Carr, and it
didn't do him any good"
That was only because he didn't know
how to Use it to the best advantage.
What he did was simply to take the
end of the rope in his hands and
jump 1t is no wonder that when he got to
the end Of the slack the sudden jar
broke his hold and he fell Now, if he had

II you to me be cold,
Or be false to you,
The world will 60 on, think,
Just as 1t used to do;
The clouds will fiirt with the moon,
The sun will kiss the sea,
The wind to the trees will whisper,
And laugh at you and me.
But the sun will not shine so bright,
The clouds will not seem SO white,
To one as they will to two;
So think you had better be kind,
And had best be true,
And let the old love go on,
Just As il used to do.
II the whole of .age be read,
II book be finished through,
Still the world may read on. think,
Just as it used to do;
For other lovers will con
The pages we have passed,
And the treacherous gold of the binding
Will glitter unto the last.
But lids have a lonely look,
And one may not read the book,
1t opens only to two;
So / think you had better be kind,
And had best be true,
And let the reading go on,
Just as it used to do.
II we who have sailed together
Fit out of each others view,
The world will sail on, think,
Just as it used to do.
And we may reckon by stars
That flash from different skies,
And another of Loves pirates
May capture my lost prize;
But ships long time together
Can better the tempest weather
Than any other two;
So l think you had better be kind,
And had best be true,
That we together may sail,
Just as we used 20 do.

Asst RAW.

AfAr in the west the sun went down
In q shimmering mist of golden rain
A. the grumbling herd swept Ger the crown
OF grassy mound on the rolling plain
A thousand wild eyed, savage head,
Spurred by the yells OF a savage train,
That swung the lash they had learned to
With crack like shots, and maddening pain.
"Round 'em up, Dickr' and low-browed
On horse foam-fiecked, and with rapid
pant
Flew Ike a hawk with wings aslant
At the mutinous break in the foremost
Then stopped aghast BY prairie spring,
From ribbon-grass and pttcher-plant
Plating grlish crown and ring,
Sat the child of n wandering emigrant
Right in the track of laundering herdl
With round eyes staring at the sight,
Beyond the reach of warning word,
Her lip a-quiyer with Albright
Right in the track of iinty feet
Hard as the owner of the ranch,
Her hair entwned with flowers to meet
Death s face beneath that avalanche
Men did not speak in jest of Dick
Red Dick" though hair and beard were
A son of the West with trigger quick,
And at cards an oddly winning way.
Black were the tales they might have told,
Those devil s-aids in his buckskiu belt,
OF what one man, in his tn rst for gold,
Had done since he as child had knelt
Had he heart? But yesterday
A laugh of scoru would have answered that
To-day-God found IL, so they say,
In that race with Death by the Rio Platte.
Over the mound the horseman sped,
Quicker than flash of u mountain cat,
Til he reached the bellowing torrents head,
And the air sung shrill with his lariat-
Heavens! Twas close. The snaky moose
Circled her waist as the mad horse passed
Mid a roar like a cyclone broken loose,
As the herd crashed down at the lasso's
cast.
The crown she had made was deep in earth
Ere she was a rod from the riyulet's flow;
Her scarf on a bulls horn reached Fort
Worth.
But the girl swung safe from the saddle
bow.
And Dick? From the moose to his own strong
He shifted the child with a cheering nod,
As he found that the mite had met no harm
In her sudden flight from the IAArie sod
And a thrill shot through his own wild heart
That filled with a feeling SO sweet and odd,
That il seemed from his old life miles apart,
When the child, looking up, asked: is you
God?'

Lydia Fishers Jig" Imported from Hol-
land by Way of Old England.
Every once in a while our national
song, Yankee Doodle" is the cause
of a spirited dispute among those who
search after the origin Of such things.
Such controversy is on just at pres
ent, and it is reviying some interesting
history about that old-fashioned tune.
From the best theories that can be
formed it is probable that Yankee
Doodle first came from Holland. In
the low countries of that kingdom there
has long been song which the har-
vesters sang, illustrating the fact that
buttermilk and one-tenth of the grain
they gathered was given as the price of
their labor. 1t runs thus:
Yanker didel, doodel down,
Didel, dudel lauter,
Yanke viver, voover vown,
Botermilk und Tanther.
The air to which these words were
sung was afterwards carried to En-
gland and applied to words written in
derision of Cromwell almost exactly as
they are known in this country and
named "Nankee Doodle" The song
was brought to this land soon after tho
landing of our forefathers, and was
known as Lydia Fishers Jig" In
1775 the regular troops, while the Con-
tinental Congress was discussing the
question of separating from the mother
country, used to sing the air to such
verses as these:
"Nankee Doodle came to town,
For to buy firelock:
We will tar and feather him,
And 50 we will John Hancock"
1t was not adopted by the Americans
as a familiar air until after the battles of
Concord and Lexington, when the brig
ade under Lord Percy marched out of
Boston, playing, by way of contempt.
Lydia Fishers Jig" or what is now
known as yankee Doodle. "--Phtl0-
