LITTLE FUN TO BE HAD AT CITY FIRE.

One of the sharp contrasts between life in country
towns and life in New-York is brought forclby home
TO the newcomer In the city the first time he sees
the fire engines rushing through the streets TO fire.
His first feeling Is one Of surprise that he did not
hear the fire bells ring. He has been accustomed to
hear every bell in his native town JOIN In wild
clangor long before the engines the way. He
does not know that the only Ere bell that sounds
at all is the gong in the CINE house, which is sound
ed from the aarm-box nearest the fire. Next he OBJ
serves that few people follow the freengine At
home everybody who not hopeless cripple
ran TO the fire fast his heels could carry him.
He cannot resist the temptation here in fact does not
wondering that people stare at him strangely.
As lie nears the scene he recalls former exciting
experiences at fires. where he entered burning houses
and dragged out the furniture in fine disregard Of how
badly he smashed it, so long a. he got it out In
triumph. Excited youths at country fires have been
known to break off pianOlegs with fence rails,
than wait minute 10 unscrcw them from their

anticpadons and the best intentions
Suddenly he is brought up, all Standing by
bury and surly policeman, who roughly bids him
keep outside the fire line. Then he discovers that
there Is little fun for the on-looker ut city fire.
The police promptly draw Gordon around the burn
