Young Life Savers at Work at Custom
House Dock.


House Dock.
One fond mother in this town was I'M
doubtedly considerably alarmed when
her young hopeful, aged about seven
years, came home yesterday afternoon
with garments dripping with the brine of
old ocean. Shemay not know where he
had been, but those who were about
Custom House wharf yesterday about
8 p. M, can tell her. The boy was play
ing at the edge of the embankment near
Webster's clam shop, when he tumbled
in. The water was deep, and the chances
of the youngster would have been small
had it not been for Henry P. Printable
and Martin Conley, who were near.
Young Printable slid down a pile and
put out leg which the youngster
grasped. Then Conley and Printable
got the urchin out. Once rescued he did
not stop to thank his rescuers; but start
ed for home at topmost speed. Conley
has fished several boys out of this dock,
which, by the way, seems favorite place
for youngsters with a propensity for
tumbling into deep water. Printable
has quite record as life-saver, having
rescued two little boys and girl from
the currents of Back Bay.

these pneumatics hangs wire attached

with the reed board valves.

Of the motor which operates the music

This is a great country for crazes.
They sweep over the country like cy-
clones. Whence they come and whittier
they go man knoweth not. A few years
ago the entire country was in the throes
Of the pedestrian craze. In every city,
town ndvillage athletes were wearily
tranping around and around sawdust
circle, while thousands of spectators APP
plauded the dreary exhibition. Nobody
walks now that can ride.
Next we had the roller skating craze,
which affected both men and women.
It, too, has gone glimmering, leaving .
trail Of broken bones in its wake. The
bicycle craze is now upon ms, and bids
fair to become chronic disease The
men have had the red necktie craze and
recovered from 1t in time to laugh at the
