A FIREMAN,S LIFE.

(Written by Engineer Thos. v.
Ponder to commemorate the heorlo
work of the engine crew of Fire sta
ton No. 1, on Aug. 20, 1903. Pouhoer
was one of the crew.

The boys were sitting around
Playing games of pastime,
When the gongs began to SOUND

Now boys let her CO." a.,
When out the door our wagon rolIeu
With speed that's never SLOW
The engine team had started
Ere Bill could reach his seat
In vain we tried to stop them
Before they reached the street.
Momentarily we checked them
When swiftly they swung around
And dashing madly up the street
Threw Duffy to the ground.
With fingers crushed and bleeding
In sight of his child and wire
And the wheels of a monster engine
About to end his life,
When by good luck we swung the team
Before we lost our feet,
Then with snort three madoeneu
brutes,
Went racing up the street.
Then Lady climbed the suction,
He was riding on behind,
Swung nimbly to the drivers seat
And firmly grasped the lines,
And checked the mad and frighteheu

(That proved his nerve and skill
And saved a costly engine
From plunging down the HILL
We turned the engine around again
To answer that dread call
For she must get in service
No matter what befalls.
Our duty called us 10 that box
To join others in the strife
We left poor Duffy lying there
