From the sEueaing Joasnat'of Yesterday
A QUESTION OF HORSE POWER.

When the ground was soft and mud
was deep, there was some excuse for
stalled fire engines, but there is some
thing wrong when the roads are frozen
and firemen have to pull engines by hand
as we'll as by horse power. Engine No.
10 got stuck on the night the steel works
was burned. AT a later fire engine No.
9 was stalled. The Greenville company
has a balky horse that is willing to go
occasionally. If these horses are too
light for fire duty, better horses should
be procured. There is something unreal
sonable about delay caused by a balky
horse or a stalled team. Fires do not
wait for fortuitous circumstances. House.
holders n business men have little pa
tience for delay on the part of fremen,
ana II would be a poor excuse to offer
that the team was not strong enough to
climb a hill or that a horse baked.

netic marches? They constitute the
national marches OF America and TEEN
with the spirit of the great Re-
public. III for no other reason Sousa Is
entitled to the consideration of every
music lover in the United States. Sousa
stands today as the conductor of the
greatest concert band known to musical
history. This is not an idle boast. The
words Of Gilmore, that great and gifted
leader, when asked his opinion of the Ma
rine band under Sousa's leadership, were:
"The United States Marine Band under
Sousa's leadership stands today peerless
and unrivaled on the American conti-
nent.o
There is always an especial interest at
tached to the coming of Sousa's Band.
It.arouses the musical enthusiasm of the
classicis as we'll as the worshfper of the
lighter and popular melodies. The virtue
of Sousa is his catholicism in music. He
Is at home in all schools, and plays all
things well. Included In his programs
are his own vrile marches which are
unapproached in the realm Of march
music. The band is now playing In su-
perb form, and the praise OF the public
and.press Is more heartily bestowed upon
the organization and its matchless leader
than ever.
