brother, who was in poor health. They

No Wonder the Fire Burnt.

A chemist who had spent all hiA
leisure in trying to discover effective
means for the speedy extinction Of
fires at last invented grenade which,
he was persuaded, was the very thing
that was needed everywhere.
He arranged for a public exhibition
of it's Incompatible virtues, and built
outside the town a wooden structure,
which, on given night, would be used
to demonstrate the fire extinguishing
capabilities Of the Modern Wonder
Hand Grenade"
On the evening In question, as sool
as the darkenss came, a great crowd
assembled, and the man Of scientific
skill appeared with specimens Of his
wonderful invention.
After haranguing the mob on th
merits Of his grenade, he proceeded to
set fire to the temporary building, and
as the flames leapt up he threw off
his coat and let the bottles fly. But,
to the chagrin Of the chemist, as each
missile struck the boards the flames
leaped higher, and the fire burned with
l hercer glow.
Faster few the grenades, but large
grew the fire, and soon the stock OF
grenades and the patience Of the
thrower were alike exhausted. The
structure was reduced to ashes, and
the discounted inventor rapidly re-
ired amid shouts Of derision.
Up to the present he has failed to as

grenades, and, pouring out the CON-
tents, filed them up with parafhn!

however, no sign Of wolf, living o.
