Washington ~ Fireman.

Some interesting little stories arc TOLD
of George Washington in connections
with the Friendship Fire company, or.
ganized in 1774 in his home, Alexan-
dria.
AT first the company consisted Of cit
liens who, out of mutual friendship"
'agreed TO carry to every fire 1.-TWO leath-
ern buckets and one great bag of ozna.
burg or wider linnen. " Washington was
made au honorary member, and when
he went as delegate TO the congress Of
INA at Philadelphia he examined the
fire Engines in use there. On his return
to Philadelphia to the continental con.
gress in 1875, ~ bought from man
named Gibbs small fourth class en-
CINE, for the sum of ESQ los, and Just
before he set out for Boston heights ~
become commander in chief he dis
patched this little engine to the Friend
ship company.
During his younger days he always
attended fires in Alexandria and helped
to extinguish them. In the last year Of
his life fire occurred near the market.
He was riding down King street at tie
time, followed by his servant, who waa
also on horseback.
Washington saw that the Friendship
engine was insufficiently manned, and
riding up to a group of well dressed gen.
tlemen standing near the scene of action
he called out authoritatively:
why are you idle there, gentlemen?
IL is your business to lead in these mat
tiers. -
After which he leaped off his horse,
and Selling the brakes was followed by q
crowd that gave the engine such a shak-
ing up as it had not had for many a
day. -Youth's COMPANION.

The audience that greeted Hon. Wash
ington Gardner at the Opera House last
evening was more than pleased with the
lecture on The Struggle for Chattanoo-
ga" 10 much has been said about the
abilities OF Mr.. Gardner as lecturer and
particularly on subjects with the late
civil war that the audience expected
something unusually fine and thew were
not disappointed. He was introduced
by Mr.. W. IL. Hosking. The lecture was
a very vivid portrayal of the campaign
leading up to this important battle and
the story OF the battle was told in an
unusually interesting manner. Humor
enough was brought in to make the
whole lecture laughable and amusing
The lecture was given under the auspices
oil the Young Peoples Society of the Red
jacket Congregational church.

The Little Toe to Go.

A comparative anatomist says that
the little toe has got to go; that it is a
useless appendage, already showing
signs OF degeneration or whitening
away. 1t is proved that the horse, in
the course of several centuries, has
dropped four toes aud now travels on
one, and some think that mans pedal
extrcmities axe bound to follow sim.
iiar line Of evolution. In, the horse it is
the middle digit which has survived as
the httest. la man it will be the first
or great toe.

Wonderful Figure.

Some men are hard to please, espe-
cially in their flustered and ill natured
moods The Scottish American has q
story Of such q man, an Edinburgh
banker.
One day, when nothing had gone tc
suit him, he broke out suddenly to one
of the clerks in IL tone like thunder
clap:
Look here, Jonesl This won's 10!
These figures are perfect disgrace. IA
office boy could Go better. If he couldn's
Id discharge him. Look at that five,
will you? 1t looks just like three. No
body would take it for anything else.
Look Mt it, say. "
"l-er-I beg pardon, SIR" began
the trembling clerk. 81 beg pardon, but
-er-well, you see, Sir, it is three. ="
"A three, roared the manager, "a
three Why, you idiot. It looks Just like

And the subject dropped.

Pleasant Event.

number OF young ladies of Calumet
and Red Jacket gave leap year dane
ing party at the Light Guard Armory
last evening, which was decided social
success and all the young men who were
fortunate enough to be favored with in
yltatlons report very enjoyable dance
and say the young ladies who had the
affair in charge deserve any amount of
credit and praise for delightful party.
1t was little late in the evening when
dancing commenced, but when it was
once under way the merry dancers held
sway until somewhere about 3 O'Clock
this morning, only stopping long enough
for luncheon which the ladies served
about the middle of the dance.
The hall decorations we're eyergreens.
bunting and flags, but no attempt was
made to make the affair elaborate in this
direction, as it wat gotten up simply for
social good time and in this 1t succeed
ed admirably.
karkeet's Ideal orchestra furnished
music in their usual frst-class manner
and James Riney acted as prompter to
