a NOVEL EASTER WAGER.
A Clubman's Offer to Walk Bull Street
In His Shirt Sleeves.


A novel Easter wager is reported to
have been made by two of the younger
members Of the Oelethorpe club The
two gentlemen, it is said, got into dis
cussion concerning the conventioualities
Of dress and fashion. They argued from
different standpoints and the result was
one gentleman offered to wager
the other the finest silk shirt
to be bought in Savannah
that the latter would not walk from
Liberty street to Bay street on Bull
street at il o'clock Sunday morning in
his shirtsleeves.
The wager was promptly accepted and
arrangements have been made to carry it
out. The conditions of the wager are
that the gentleman who accepted it Is to
take his Sunday morning stroll attired in
the silk shirt that is to be the forfeit of
the wager. At the hour named for the per
Torrance Of the wager the streets viii be
filled with ladies and gentlemen on their
way to church in all the glory of their
new Easter attire.
The name of the gentleman who is to
take the stroll, sans coat and vest, is not
known, but he is said to be a well known
young society man.
The silk shirt was purchased yesterday
afternoon, and it is said the wager will
be performed.

LOCOMOTIVE FIREMAN.
The Man Who Feeds the Engine Every

From Harper's Young People.

+ IOlu harper = I Dung HGOple.
AT least every thirty seconds he throws
open the furnace door, and without a
false motion or the slightest delay hurls
exactly three shovelfuls of coal on the
fire. He knows just how to spill and
spead it with a dexterous turn of the
wrist. Before Albany is reached he must
throw 6,375 pounds Of that coal into the
fire or nearly fourtyfOur pounds a mile.
Then, too, he must know exactly where
he is along the road, and when to drop
his shovel and seize the bell cord lie
must ring the bell in passing through all
towns and villages. he must know the
proper instant to vault into his seat when
important curves are reached to watch for
signals.
He must see the steam doesn't vary
and he is proud to shout in your ear
when you near Albany, She hasn't
varied three pounds since we left New
York. He must watch the water gauge
of the boiler and is constantly kept chang
ing the pumps and seeing that they do
their work properly. All the time he
must keep throwing his forty-four pounds
OF coal on tue fire every mile 1t ism t
long before he surprises you with another
motion. He throws open the furnace
door and thrusJs a long, dOuble-pr onged
fork into the fire. With q twist he prods the

out its teeth are cherry red. Then comes
the whir of fine shovel again, and the
sound of the hammer as Tompkins breaks
up the larger Jumps of coal.
When you approach MOntrose, near
| Peekskill, the engine begins to slow down
If you look ahead you will see a narrow
! trough between the rails filled with
water. The engine is going TO take on
water at a flying leap. TOmpkins stands
at the side Of the tpDI pr, with bje borI
on lever. Engineer Foyle suddenly
startles you with a shrill whistle between
his teeth that would put to shame the
warning signal a New York newsboy
gives to his gambling mates when a
| policeman comes in sight. Instantly the
lever flies back, and as you look at the
wheels of the tender You see surging uD
| among the trucksra torrent of water.
1t splashes and roars. ana as YOU wonder
If you won't be carried away two whistles
from Foyle, sharper and shriller than the
first warn Tompkins 70 pull up the scoop
and that the end of the water trough is
near. Then Tompkins goes back to his
coal, his pumps, his pipe, his water gauge,
his bell, his watch or signals and YOU
wonder what new work he will do next
Before you are aware of it he touches YOU
upon the knee, and motions for you to
raise your feet while he turns on the hose
and vets the floor of the cab to keep down
the dust, after which he sweeps up with
a stUbby broom.
Next he is shaking down the CRATES
with big steel lever that looks like the
| tlller OF large sail0oat. You now begin
! TO take IN what it means to be a fireman
| Toward the end of the trip you tap his
| shoulder and shout to him;
This seems to keep you pretty busy. "
Il tell you there is no funny business
about this work, " is his response.

The county officials are succeeding on
account of the stringency of the law in
getting a good many defaulters to pay
their back taxes, and from many of them
a double tax, is collected in cases where
they failed even to make returns at the
time the taxes were due.
There is still a number of liquor deal

and others doing similar businesses, who
have not paid the specific tax required of
them by the state, The majority of these
have paid the tax, but those who have
