MRS. RANSIER'S LETTER.
Another Attraction on the st. Louis
Pike.

x1kGs
Dear Sunshiners Il am going to
tell you about one more attraction
on the Pike, because it is such a
sunshiny one. True Sunshiners are
the fremen and it is about Hale's
Fire Fighters that I am going to
tell you. Then if you want to know
more about the Pike you must be
ready to go with me and see for
yourself.
Have you ever read 10 Lincoln's
poem about Fireman O'Raferty?
Here it is:
IA cloud of cinder-dotted smoke,
whose pillows rise and swell,
Thrust through by seething swords
of flame that roar like blasts
from hell;
A floor whose charring timbers groan
and creak beneath the tread,
With starting planks that, gaping,
show long lines of sullen red;
Great, kissing, scalding jets of steam
that, lifting now, disclose,
A c%rouching figure gripping tight the
nozzel of a hose,
The dripping, rubber-coated form,
scarce seen amid the murk,
Of Fireman Mike O'Rafferty attend
ing to his work.
pressed close against the blistered
floor he strives the fire to drown.
And slowly, surely, steadfastly, he
fights the demon down;
And then he seeks the window-frame,
all sashless, blank and bare,
And wipes his plucky Irish face and
gasps a bit for air;
Then standing on the Shiny ledge, as
narrow as his feet,
He huns a tune, and looks straight
down six stories to the street;
Far, far below he sees the crowds
pale faces flush and fade,
But Fireman Mike ORafferty can't
stop to be afraid.
"Sometimes he climbs long ladders.
through a fiery, burning rain
To reach a pallad face that glares be-
hind a cracking pane;
Sometimes he feels his foothold shake
with giddy swing and sway,
And barely leaps to safety as the
crashing roof gives way;
Sometimes penned in and sitting
fast, he waits, with courage
grim,
And hears the willing axes ply that
strive to rescue him;
But some time, somewhere, some
how, help may come a bit too
late
For Fireman Mike O'Raferty of En-
CINE Twenty-eight.
"And then the morning paper may
have half a column filled
With, Fire at Bullion's Warehouse
and the line, "A Fireman Killed.
Killed"
And, in a neat, cheap tenement, a
wife may mourn her dead.
And all the small O'Raferty's 90
fatherless to bed.
And he'll not be a hero, for. you see,
he didn't fall
On some blood-spattered battlefield.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-08-09

have won the hearts of the people,
and justly so. 1t is upon the stead
fastness and bravery of the fireman
that our lives are so dependent lin
time of fire in our cities.
Lesson deep and permanent are
taught by their exhibit. A lady said:
eff nothing else, this exhibition has
taught me a lesson in self-control. l
shall never lose control of myself in
time of fire for I can now see how
much a person would hinder the fire
mems work rescueing, by getting ex-
cited and making a fuss"
Hale's begin the performance
by a parade, in which Rosie Pansy,
George and Minnie, the little Shet-
land ponies draw a little fire engine
which weighs 1900 pounds. Then
the big engine and hose carts, drawn
by great intelligent sorrel and white
horses. Mr.. Hale, too-the fire chief
lis in. the parade. He is a typical
American, alert, resourceful, master
full. After the parade there are ex-
hibitions of rapid hitching, which
seems an Arabian Nights perform
ance, the enchanted harness simply
falling on the horses and buckling
and fastening itself. An arch is fired
and the intelligent horses run direct
ly through the flames.
There is expert placing of ladders
from the ground to the sixth story
of a building and from the roof fire
men descend a rope-although de-
scend isn't exactly the word, for they
go so fast that you don't see the
rope; they seem to just spring into
the air and shoot through space,
sometimes feet first, then head first.
in a way that quite takes your own
breath away while watching them.
In fact, the thirty-two fremen con-
nected with this exhibit do such Won
derful things that it is hard for the
uninitiated to comprehend it all.
The browning feature is when a six
story house takes fire. Of course
it doesn't really burn. It is lights.
smoke and noise that make it appear
to burn, but the light is like fame
and the noise of the cracking and
falling timbers are very real, and
the audience cheer and yell as the
brave fremen swing out on the ropes
from the top of the burning building.
swing in at the fifth, the fourth and
every floor, and rescue the people who
are wildly screaming for help from
the windows of the flame ~enwrapped
and doomed structure. The last one
is saved just as the roof falls with
a crash inside.
This is done by ingenious devices
of hinged parts that fall from sight,
but are later restored for another
performance. Other shows may dis
play feats of daring and athletic
power; skill of Workmanship; dis
plays for amusement or as ~portrayals
of destruction to the enemy in the
red carnage of war, but how much
nobler to a v life than destroy!
How much more el~evating to char
acter to witness bravery and skill dis
played in the rescuing of human
ity than in its destruction! A mans
skill used for selfish aims is worthy
of less applause than a mans used
