Fire station No. 9.
Fire Chief Mcguire yesterday filed a
request with Mayor Myers to have an
appropriation made in next years bud
get for the purchase of a hook and lad
der for No. fire station in the South
Side. The Mayor seemed doubtful
about the city's being able to make
the appropriation and Mr.. Thomas
Gamble, Jr., the Mayors secretary
suggested that one of the toy hook and
ladders in Adler's window be pur-
chased.
Mr.. Gamble had evidently been dis
cussing the toy engines with Thomas
Gamble, third, for he was we'll up on
their good points. "They are just like
the big ones" Mr.. Gamble asserted
The Mayor said afterwards that the
fire chief stood a better chance of get
ting the toy hook and ladder than a
real one.
The South Side Administration Club
has interested itself in the matter and
will pass q resolution tonight, calling
upon the aldermen to make an appro-
priation for the hook and LADDER big
one, not the toy.

The apples in the orchard. aud the path
way through the rye:
The chirrnp OF the robin. and the whistle
of the quail
As he piped across the meadows swee,
as any nightingale:
When the bloom was ON the clover. and
the blue was in the sky.
Aud my happy heart brimmed over-in
the days gone by.
In the days gone by. when my naked
feet were trippel
BY the honeysuckle tangles where the
water lilies dipped.
Aud the rlpples OF the river Tipped the
moss along the brink.
Where the p,acid-eyei and lazy-footed
cattle came 10 drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless OF
the truant's Maynard cry.
And the splashing OF the swimmer, in the
days gone by.
o the days gone by, O the days gone by,
The music OF the laughing lip, the luster
of the eye;
The childish faith In fairies. and Alad-
din's magic ring
The simple, soul-reposing. glad belief In
everything.
For life was like story, holding neither
sob nor sigh.

for her.

should die, but then it would almost |
kill her, for the poor thing worships |
the old fellow. But il would be bad /
for the village il Ringwold should die. /
