FORE HE IMPROVED THEM.
by the work Bonner did in his stay
of from two to three years in the city.
Today the fire department is the pet
of property owners, who no longer0
watch in blank despair the burning of
their buildings when fire breaks out.
There are over $50 paid men In the de-
partment. About 80 per cent of the
force are natives but the officers areI
Americans, and many of the officers
and men are former United States sol
diers, fact which makes for good dis
cipline. There are fire houses, steam
and chemical engines and all other ap-
purtenances of an up to date depart
ment. The first time that Bonner and
his new service We're called on to at
tend a fire in Manila there was great
excitement in the Philippine city. AL
blaze had started in the store of mer-
chant on the Escolta, the leading
street Shopkeepers by the hundred
ran out into the street, fearing that
their stocks of goods would be consum-
ed. Amid a Changing of strange bells
and clatter of hoofs the new firemen
made record in reaching the scene.
They obeyed their orders like soldiers.
the fire was put out in less than half
an hour, and Manila did not get over
the sensation in a week
One time when Bonner was chief of
the New York fire department a fire
broke out on election night on Broad
way. a force of thirty men were on
the fourth and fifth floors of the burn
ing building pouring water on the
flames when the wall on one side Of the
structure from the roof to the pave
ment fell outward. There was a whirl-
wind of flame and smoke, and the men
at work in the building fighting the fire
prepared to jump to the ground, think
ing that otherwise they would be bur.
ied in the ruins. The windows were
lined with men ready to leap to fate
that might be death. Bonner is noted
for his knowledge of the construction
of buildings. He knew that though one
wall had fallen out the others would
probably stand. So he shouted to the
panic stricken men,
Stay where you are. You're all
right The men had so much conf.
dence in his Judgment and were under
such good discipline that they obeyed
and thus their lives were saved.

MODEL FOR CHINA's CADETS.
He Urges Them to Take Back Stimu-
Ius for Youth of Own Country.


West Point, n. Y, Feb. 8.-This is
the most wonderful place l have ever
seen. These young men, who study
so hard and develop their bodies so
thoroughly, must be the finest type
of young men in the world. 1 do not
wonder that the United States stands
foremost among the nations of the
world. The organization is perfect
There is not break in studies or
play. Both are done with the precis-
ion of machinery.
Turning to two Chinese cadets,
Ting CHA Chen and Wing Hsing
Wen, who have been in the academy
since last summer, the Viceroy gave
them this advice:-
'Here is example for you! Study
hard and bring back to China the
skill, strength and scholarship | see
about me, that your instruction may
give to the youth of China stimulus
that will make their minds alert and
their bodies strong. l wish you luck.
You boys can do much for your
country, and think you will"
The Chinese boys saluted and
swore to devote themselves to their
tasks.

Green Christmas No Grave Filler.

destroyed more than one theory, and
now popular belief that "a green
Christmas makes a fat graveyard"
or that an open winter such as New

blow. Not only was the last week in
January this year the healthiest for
that time of year in the history of
the city, but the death rate for the
last two months has taken a decided
drop as compared with the record of
year ago.

orange blossoms, a spray falling
loosely over the coiffure.
The travelling gown is a tan cloth,
princess style, with a short jacket.
The skirt is trimmed with folds Of

Brookings Reds Win
Fav0r at MINNEAPOLIS
Burwe Holds Lund Team Up and Depnves them of Single
Hf-.One of the Most Remarkable Games Ever Played
in the Northwest

After winning a signal victory from
Hawarden last week the Brookings
Reds went to Springfield, Minnesota,
and drubbed the home team until the
boys were weary of running around
the diamond-the score being some
thing like sixteen to four.
On Saturday the Reds played the
Lund team in Minneapolis and won
by a score OF 2 to 0 with Burwell in
the pitchers box. Visitors say this
was a remarkable game, but the Sum
day game was peach and is described
as follows by the Minneapolis Tribune:
In the most remarkable semi-pro-
fessional game ever played in this Sec
ton of the state, Burwell, pitching for
the Brookings Reds, yesterday defeated
the Lund team of this city by score
OF to 0, holding his opponents the
entire nine innings without the SEM
blance of hit, and thus securing his
second shutout in two successive days.
From the beginning to the end OF the
game Burwell was the whole show, and
the phenomenal southpaw OF the South
Dakota aggregation deserves great
credit for his plucky victory, especially
when it is considered that he pitched
three-hit game on Saturday.
Peaches Graham was sent to the slab
to do the twirling for the Lunds and
exhibited a little wildness at first, but
| finally settled down and pitched beau
tiful ball. 1t was his first game OF the
year in the box and he seemed to have
everything necessary. With Brook
ings man on third, however, in the
seventh, Graham failed to field Bur-
Wells slow grounder and the only run
of the game was sent across the plate.
In spite of the fact that the Lunds
made no hits they had one chance to
score and this came in the seventh
also. Carlisle reached first on an error
and stole second, kinkle being at the
bat with two strikes against him.
Kinkle attempted to lay him down to
third with sacrifice, but couh not
hit and struck out, Carlisle gettingt +
