thusiasm counted far more than 1t does
now. The writer of this remembers
when the chief and assistant engineers In
a Maine city did not get pay enough to
recompense them for the clothes they
spoiled. There were three hand engines
in the place and $1,000 was annually ap-
propriated for each and company got to-
gether to run for that sum. One year a
new church was erected. 1t is still one
of the handsomest in the state. The male
members Of the religious society organized
fire company, took the $1,000 and "blew
it inn for the new meeting house and
then three quarters of the memoirs hired
men to do their fire duty for them in
addition.
The men of 1880 to 1860 did hard work,
and had lots of fun and frolic with IL,
but they were strong men and upon tnem
the safety of their respective communities
depended, and we'll was it guarded. 10
the veterans of the old organizations and
their successors, to the men who used to
do by well trained muscle what steamers
does today, Portland extends hearty
firemen's welcome.

There was little happening at the great
muster in Manchester, N. H., in 1858, II
we remember the date Alright. There was
a hotel called the American house at
noon, but at midnight, fireman having
been misused there in the meantime,
little was left of the house but its walls.
This was not laid up against anybody;
why should it have been Right here in
Maine there was a company just about
forty years ago which was disbanded by
the city authorities for what were con-
sidered good and sufficient reasons. The
boys kept together and hired a hall.
Likewise they went to mustsrs with an
old engine built by Hinckley & Egery
of Bangor, and carried home prizes In
1861 the ex- Tigers of that city formed a
company and went to the war in the
second Maine regiment. When the war
was over the ex-foreman was Brigadier
General Daniel White, as brave and good
the minor officers of the company was
Lieut.. Col. Edward L. Getohell, and
there were more of them. We speak OF
this company only because it was such .
fine specimen of the assembled manhood
Of the young Americans OF the years Just
before the war. Those fellows could fight
fire and they could fight. Their successors
who struck Portland yesterday looked as
if they were built the same way.

very little for protection from fire. En-

There are belts enough in the building
If placed end to end to go around 1t Two
or three times and these BELTS or some OF
them have been put to strange use,
serving as a wall border on the lower
floor. The visitor wonders at first what
the material Is of which this border OF

is made. A closer inspection shows the
belts.by the hundred fastened to the wall.
Hanging from the ceiling are number
of devices composed of cap numbers ar
ranged on frames and these old numbers
tell their stories to the veterans for they
bring to mind this or that old time COM
pany and its deeds of valor at muster and
contlsgration. The hat numbers are ac-
companied by hats worn by the fremen
of long ago. There are scores of these
hats hanging on the walls. There are
hats shaped like the stovepipe tiles OF TO-
day. The young man who dons his new
and glossy Dunlap does not stop to think
that the firemen Of his grandfather's day
fought the flames in tall hats but such
was the case. Then there is queer
shaped hat on which are still to be seen
the letters spelling foreman. Ihls
| is as tall as the other and seems to be
| cross between visor cap and stoveplpe.
1t has in addition to the visor piece
| of cloth which hung down over the wear
er's neck and shoulders to protect him
from the flame and cinders. Of still
| later pattern comes the forerunner OF the
familiar helmet of today, glazed hat
with a round crown and a broad brlm.
Then Of the later styles there are the he'll
mits and caps with which everybody is
| familiar.
| Almost as numerous as the hats are the
fire buckets. Time was when every cltl'
zen WAS expected to keep his leather DUCK
ct for use in fighting the flames. some
of these date from years long before the
| advent of the hand engines, wnen the
buckets were passed from hand 20 hand
alon Q a line of men extending from the
nearest well to the burning building, the
empty buckets being handed back by the
women who formed another line 1t was
the fashion to have these buckets deco
rated with the names of the owners and
some of them were ornamented with
aourishes and various devices in addi-
tion. Among those hanging in the rooms
of the Portland association are some
which bear the names of citizens who
played an important part In the Portland
of their time. With the buckets are the
lanterns, the Oldest being composed of
tin case punched full of holes
through which struggled the beams of

Bradford, Mass. and she remained tnere
until 1860 and during this time acquired
the reputation of being one of the crack
machines of New England. When the
town Of Bradford purchased steam ire
engine it was decided to get rid OF the
hand tub and it became the property OF
the Amoskeag people of Manchester, who
took it in part payment for the new en-
CINE they had sold the town.
In the early sos the city OF Portland
decided to purchase another steam IRE en-
CINE, and as special inducements Tor
them to buy an Amoskeag engine the
hand tub was thrown in to boot, and this
is the way the venerable machine first
came into the State of Maine. No place
for the tub couldsbe found in the city
proper, so it was sent to Peaks Island,
where it remained until few months
ago, when the Vets secured possession OF
it, much to the disgust Of the island COM
pany which had charge of the machine
for so many years and the
transfer resulted in their dis
banding. As soon as the tub came
back to Portland she was placeu III one
repair shop and thoroughly overhauled,
and then was painted and decorated I'M
til none of her former friends would rec
ognize in the handsome tub, Respondent
in glistenipg colors, the old machine that
rested idly at Perks Island for almost
fifteen years.
The present officers of the Association
are: President, James ". Plaistsd; LIST vice
President, Nahum Littlefeld; I'd Vice.

Secretary, Ambrose McDopald; Flnan-

finally secured possession of the building
the corner of Spring and South streets
which they have since handsomely
fitted up. and today the Vets are proud Of
the fact that they have the finest quart
ers of anyssassociation in the League.
When the Veteran Jiremen's Assooia-
ton was organized there yere i25 mem
bers. The organization has grown very
rapidly and today there are over 400
names on the rolls. OF this number 300
are between 60 and 90 years of age. ffty
are between 40 and 60 years of age. and
the balance are all over 80. No other as
ISOLATION in the League can show so
many old members or so many members
in the benefit branch.
If there is one thing in which veteran
fireman takes especial pride it is the
hand tub owned by this association. Now
the Portland Vets have a tub and it is a
beauty; in fact, no organization in the
country has handsomer one. This tub
Is named the James ". Plaisted, in hon.

members of the association and one OF
Portland's best-kncwn, old.time fire
fighters. Besides being thing of beauty
the Plaisted has first class playing rec.
