NULL GOT A SHOCK.



Fireman Charles Milikin, who is sta
toned at Fire Headquarters and who is
known as the man with the iron jaw"
having once broken a razor on his face
while shaving himself, met with an acct
dent Friday which will make him careful
where he lays his hands while he is at his
duties about Fire Headquarters.
Null as he is generally called, is the
head man at Fire Headquarters and acts
in the capacity of painter. The place UNI
der his guidance is kept in such a neat
condition that often people having occa-
sion to visit 1T have commended the man
with the Handsome goatee." The brass
railing that eneircles the Commissioners
and Clerk Esterbrook's desks and those
leading to the Chiefs room in the rear of
the building are always kept shining
brightly by Null and woe to him who
happens to put his hands on them when
Null is looking.
Now Null" is a man of few words, but
when he does talk YOU dom need ear
trumpets to hear him His lungs are
simply wonderful.
Clerk Charles Este rbrook, who calls
Null his errand boz, had the rails
charged with electricity. When Null
entered he noticed the rails were not as
clean as when he left, so with his well
seasoned pipe in his mouth he proceeded
to get some cloths to clean them.
AS soon as Null touched the railing
well, he spoke, but the things he said
would not look very nice in print.
Null said he does not know who
played the trick on him, but he has his
suspicious, and says he will get even If 1t
takes him a year.

FOR CLEAN STREETS.
DR.. Stoddard Tells His Boys to Cease
Impaliug Lesson Books.

The following appeared in this weeks
issue of st. Johns Church Bulletin =
The corrected lesson books were given
back to the scholars last Sunday. On go
ing home the rector noticed one impaied
on a fence, one rolled up and thrust into
a rope hanging from a trolley pole, and
the remains of several littering the street
The last sight grieved him because all
the boys of st. Johns are supposed to be
in the fight against dirty streets and to
do all in their power to make our city
clean and beautiful. At least that is
what they all agreed to last fall, and
the rector is, therefore, sorry II even
one of them has forgotten that he is a
soldier in the street cleaning brigade.
If parents would insist on having the
corrected books brought home, that they
might examine them, it is easy to see
that they would thereby help to keep
the streets clean.
