A CLEVER FIRE HORSE.

The Clear Headed Animal That Chief
Webber of Boston Used to Drive.
The rule in the Boston department is
to reach the fire rs soon as it can be
done with safety When an alarm comes
in, the firemen have that rule in mind
They are not thinking about posing for
the public, but what they are likely to
find at the end of their ride, and when
accidents occur in nine cases out Of ten
they are more likely to be due to the
carelessness or fright of the public than
to the recklessness of the firemen them
selves There are approximately 1000
alarms a year in this city, to each OF
which from one to eight pieces respond
Compare the activity and momentum
thus let loose, but skillfully controlled,
with the total resulting casualties Of
year, and the showing will justify the
department as a whole every time.
The horses themselves share not only
the spirit but the knowledge of the sit
uation, and to their training and intel
ligence is due to no small degree the
comparative exemption from serious
accidents which the department enjoys.
A few years ago Chief Weber drove as
his fire horse an animal which well ex-
emplified these characteristics He had
head like wedge, and he could run
for deer. His fire gait was run. He
was famous for economizing his oppor-
tunities Even in thickly crowded
street, if he saw hundred feet clear i'll
front of him, he made it on the run. If
an obstruction suddenly appeared, he
would brace himself and skate over the
pavement until his momentum was
overcome. Then with the next opening
the feat was repeated, while he writhed
in and out like snake among inter,
cepting teams and usually was among
the first arrivals at the scene of the fire.
On one occasion he took himself and
the buggy to fire some distance from
quarters without a driver and arrived
safely and at the right box. The I'M
initiated who saw his movements might
have called them reckless, but during
his five or six years of service he at.
tended more fires than any other horse
in the department. and no serious acct
dent to himself or others resulted. -
