A lawyer who visited Rome tells
how the fire department grappled with
blaze in the Eternal City. He says:
''The fire was in what we would call
a grocery store 1t seemed long
time before the fire department re-
sponded, but after awhile l saw a
hose wagon dash around the corner,
with number of firemen standing on
the running boards on each side. The
wagon stopped at hydrant, and each
fireman jumped from the wagon with
a little roll Of hose. The first man
coupled his to the hydrant, and then
each man coupled his section to the
preceding section. Finally they had
water on the fire, and after another
long period man with plumed hat
drove up in a victoria. He was the
chief. The captain of the company
and the chief saluted with much cere-
mony, then shook hands and then held
a long and dignifed conversation.
Finally, 1 suppose, the captain told the
chief the grocery was on fire, and the
chief acknowledged it was and COM
plimented him on his perspicuity Oh,
yes, they finally put the fire out, and
Rome still stands!'

Whenever | have heard people rail-
ing at the vast fortunes of some of the
California millionaires, says an Eng
lish writer, [ have always replied that
no man became a millionaire in the
early history of California who had not
earned his fortune by the risks he had
had the courage to face. / remembered
an old Trishman named Bill Dunphy
bringing home to my mind what these
pioneers had encountered when he told
me how he and a companion had Jared
in a journey across the continent The
companion injured his leg. Dunphy
had to cut it off with an ak and then,
going forward through the dark I'M
traced woods to search for the trail
and for food, had to leave his friend
behind by the side of a stream and
with a single tin Of biscuits to keep
him up till his friends return. Then I
saw what the pioneers of 1S49 had
faced, and l felt that they merited
such rewards, however great, as for
tune had afterward bestowed upon
them.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
