The friends of a local young man are
having no end OF fun with him, for,
while he is city bred, his friends are
surprised 10 learn that he does not know
a patrol box from a firm alarm. An even

friends and as there was not food OF
light In the room where they sat. they
could naturally see light from outside
the house much quicker.

| the young woman saw at glance that the
| light was caused by the burning of
neig hbor's barn. Near her house was
a fire alarm box and not far from that
was a patrol box, and In her house was
key for the former. A. soon as she
discovered the fire she gave her young
man" the key, and told him TO send in
| aS-.slsrn. She waited for a time and not
| hes ring the alarm ran to the box but did
not find the young man.
She then ran 10 the patrol box and
there she found the young man fumbling
about with the key. What she said TO
him rather Jared the young mans
nerves. The young woman sent in the
alarm. The box in question Is located
on the outskirts of the city.
