A GOOD DRILL.

Recently q fire broke out in one of
the public school buildings of Omaha.
Tie children had been accustomed 10
a fire drill and had been thoroughly ia.
structcd what they must do III case of
an alarm. \ little fellow named Ollie
Downs was the drummer. and IL was
his duty whenever the alarm sounded
to take his position at the foot of the
stairs with his drum and start the pro.
cession with his mtaplan. Tie teacher
who discovered the fire marshalcd her
pupils In their accustomed order. then
notified the principal, who also placed
the other children i'm the ranks. By
this time both principal and teachers
began to lose their heads. and us the
smoke filed the building the children
were thrown into n panic. which was
intensified by the beating of the gong.
Little Otfic. however. did not lose his
head. lie rushed for his drum. pu,
himself In his customary place at the
foot of the stairs. though 1t was close
to the fire and IN the midst Of
binding smoke. and began his drum
beat. At the familiar sound the chill
drcn fell into the ranks and the marci,
began. The procession filed quietly on,
and all were saved. when but u moment
before 1t seemed likely that many OF
them would be killed In n mad scramble
to get out OF the building. Ollie was
the hero of the occasion by his courage
AMI presence OF mind. and he has rc.
celvcd the due need Of praise us his re.
ward. The incident shows the value of
military discipline and the habit of
unquestioning obedience. And there IL
