few months ago / saw a thrilling
sight en- one of the streets Of Brook
lsn, A fire engine. drawn by three
magnificent horses, was going to an
swer an alarm of fire. The engine WAS
coming down a broad avenue paved
with asphalt, and the horses were gal
Looping at their fastest speed.
Suddenly one of the horses slipped
on the smooth asphalt pavement. and
losing his footing slipped completely
TO the ground. II WIS impossible for
the driver To stop the other horses.
and on went the engine At first |
feared there would he terrible ac-
cldent. for the horse that had fallen
could not regain his feet. and IL seem
ed as if the engine would be wrecked.
and perhaps the driver would be kill
ed.
But the harness by which the fall
en- horse was attached to the engine
was strong. and it held the horse SCI
curely as he slipped along the asphalt
pavement. For almost a block he slid
along the avenue. and then at last
engine and horses came to a sudden
stop. as they ran up against the curb
stone where stood another horse and
wagon. The shock of the collision.
as the engine struck the wagon, was
SO great that II broke the light har-
ness by which the horse was attached
to the wagon, all TO pieces and the
horse started to run away.
Meanwhile one Of the brave fire.
men had jumped to the ground, and
quickly stopped the runaway horse.
The other firemen went To the assist
ance Of their own horse and got him
up on his feet again. unhurt by his
long slide. They looked over the har
ness and found ii was still secure
and unhroken, and In another min
ute they were galioping of again to
answer the FIRE alarm.
II was thrilling sight, and
thought OF the many ways in which
these brave men who serve as fire.
men risk their, lives. And ! also
thought Of the man who had made
that set of harness which held the
fire engine horse 50 firmly. That har-
ness maker had done his work we'll.
and i'll 50 doing he had helped to
save some precious lives. which might
otherwise have been lest.--Apples of

The minister Fire Easter.

Now and then, even In these skep-
teal or half-believing days, you come
across a man who really believes that
there is hell" to which those who
die ia their sins are consigned, Such
a man is James Brown, a member Of
Hook and Ladder Company No. IS
Of the Borough of Manhattan. Nef
York Mr.. Brown is. known among
his comrades as the Minister Fire
Easter and the Say Pilot of Is
He has an excellent record as life
saver, over twoscare persons having
been rescued from burning tenements
by him Ten years ago he Joined the
Flatbush Methodist church, and be-
came a worker, when not lighting
fires. In the Hadey mission in the
Bouery and the Midnight mission in
Chinatown During four years he
has been instrumental in the CONVEX
sion OF 200 persons In d recent in
terview he said to the reporter. ITO
me- the saving of men and women al
fires is not nearly as important as
saving their souls from hell" 1t Is
this deep conviction OF the need or
salvation that makes him an effective
worker for souls, And yet he Is emil
nently practical in his method Of
work. When, he said. Il talk to
the drunkard or criminal ] do not
preach hell fire and damnation, but
take him aside and treat him like a
brother. Ii he repents and turns
away from his evil ways, I see that
he has food and lodging until he gets
on his feet. and later help him to
get work" Thus conviction of the
sinners lost condition and pity for
his Immediate need so hand In hand.
It makes strong team Mr.. Brown
is studying, and hopes to be licensed
as a local Methodist preacher. "Whe-
ther ! shall remain fireman or not"
he said, rests with God. by whom
