While casting this week spark
from the chimney Of J. ID. Grinnell's
foundry fell on the roof and burned a
good sized hole. John has since bought
some rubber hose and proposes to pro-
tect his property from fire. Good idea.
Let others follow his example or rath-
er the village purchase fire engine
which is certainly needed. Our vii
lage dads will not take any steps in
this direction. it is not likely, until
big rousing fire sweeps half our town
out of existence. Let the people rise
up and say we want an engine and are
going to have one and .hen they will |
grant your request we are sure with |
out any doubt. Try it and see.
We were amused the other day at |
an incident which happened. AL |
though the joke is OH ourselves we |
will relate it to our readers. A young |
lad about ten or twelve years of age |
came to our office with small black |
puppie, around whose neck he had
clothes line about ten feet long attach
ed, and entering our sanctum sane
forum he looked around To see if he
had not stepped into the wrong place
and on being asked what could be done
for him he inquired: Don't you want
to buy dog 2" We infol med him that
we bad no use whatever for dogs and
were about to fire boy, dog ana all out
into the street when he shot the fol-
lowing at us, as innocently as lamb:
THE jeweler over there said you
wanted a dog to watch your clothes"
Had there been anybody else around
we we would have looked for noun
tains 20 hide us. We haven't seen the
boy or dog since.
