WHY NOT SOBER FIREMEN 2

Five Chicago firemen were called
before commissioner recently on
a charge rf drunkenness. which,.
they protested was the result Of
taking WHISKY to cure the grip -
The commissioner lemaIking that

cure" required the five men TO
sign the pledge for two years :.
This is the story told by recent
Chicago daily. which assumes an
attitude Of good-nntmed contempt
for anyone and every thing con-
cerned.
perhaps the contempt is iustifi-
able. Imagine five railway en-.
