enough removed from the business part
Of the city to prevent interference with
the trade and commerce of the town.
1t was in this lot that Chief Engineer

lace that wonderful addition to his
dre-fghting force-a piano box engine.
The department marched around the
lot. dragging the engine behind 1t. and
then halted at the south end, where the
machine was given a conspicuous place

active service as q volunteer fireman
brought rewards in the way of pOlit-
tcal and social preferment, to which
even those In the highest ranks Of pro
fessional and commercial life were sus-
ceptible. One of the most cherished
privileges was that Of appearing on
parade in the red flannel shirt and
,eathern hat, which, with a pair Of
black doeskin trousers, with the lower
axtremities stuffed into the tops of
long-legged boots, constituted the full
dress uniform. It was these things,
simple as they may now seem, that
gave enchantment to the fireman's life
and drew into the ranks the best men
in town. The actual fire service was
not particularly arduous. While the
city was built almost entirely of frame
structures, fires were neither numer-
BUS nor extensive, owing to the strin-
gent precautions taken to prevent their
origin. When the department was
called out the disagreeable features Of
the work were more than compensated
for when those who had been most ac-
tive in fighting the flames were singled
out as members Of the floor and recep-
ton committees at the next dance.
Such was a fireman's life In Chicago In
