didn't discourage Deacon Spooner.

"Sons of freedom" he began as he
rose up, "there should be no strife or
jealousy over this matter. What we
first want is an engine to squirt u
fires. What we next want is a compe-
tent man to direct the squirting. AS
you are all aware. l have been in the
pump business for the last fifteen years
and I ought to know something about
water and squirting. l will take the
place of boss and do my best, and no
man can do more. l may perish in my
first confagration, but if so you will
remember me as one who did his whole
duty"
As the deacon vas sixty years old.
nearsighted and deaf in the starboard
ear, his offer to sacrifice himself didn't
create any great enthusiasm. When he
saw this he sat down with a jar. and
Philetus Johnson took his place. He
admitted that his experience with con-
fagrations had only extended to a
burning h%aystack and a blaze in a
woodbox behiud the stove. but he was
willing to learn-not only that. but
willing to peril life and limb in the
learning. In case of death he would
leave a widow and seven children and
two cows to mourn his loss. but the
town would erect a stone to his mem
Dry, and on it would be craven the
words, Here lies a man."
For two or three minutes after Phile-
tus sat down it looked as if he would
reach the pinnacle Of fame. but there
were others waiting to have their say.
The last speech Of the evening was
made by Lawyer Tompkins, though
only half finished. He started out to
tell of the burning Of Rome, and how
the fire could have been squirted out
at the beginning by the right sort of d
man in command of the fire depart
ment, and had gradually worked down
to. Washington crossing the Delaware
when the impatient audience howled
him down and proceeded to a ballot.
The ballot showed that there were for
ty-two firemen present and that every
one wanted to be foreman. The chair
mar raped for order and asked them
to remember that the eyes of the
whole world were upon them and that
one having the true interests of the
people at heart would willingly give
way, but the second and third ballots
showed the same result. Then Judge
Harmon arose and appealed to the pa
triotism of the audience, saying that
General jackson always stood ready to
take a back seat. but another ballot
showed no change. When the result
was announced there was a deep 81
lence for a minute. and her somebody
moved to adjourn. and it was carried,
and the crowd filed slowly and SOL

OLD ROMAN BATHS.

They Held Theaters, Temples, Feast
ing Halls and Libraries.
The ancient Romans were extrava-
gantly fond of bathing. They got their
notions about the bath as a luxury
from the Greeks, and at one time there
were nearly 900 public bathing estab-
lishments in Rome, some Of which
were the most beautiful and elaborate
structures in the world.
The baths Of the Emperor Diocletian
covered more than half 4 square mile
and thousands of marble recesses. the
aters. temples. halls for feasting, prom
enades planted with trees. libraries.
schools for youth and academies for
the discussions of the learned. The
batherS sat on marble benches below
the surface of the water. around the
edge Of the basins. scraping themselves
with the dull knives Of metal and
ivory and taking occasional plunges
into the water.
Dissipated Romans would spend
whole days in the bath. seeking relief
from overindulgence in eating and
drinking the night before. Everybody.

c0PPERPLATE ENGRAVING.
Tho Art Was Discovered Through the
Merest Accident.

The Art Was Discovered Through the
Merest Accident.
Every n has noticed on his visiting
card the extremely delicate lines of his
name. and almost every one knows
that they are produced by printing
from an engraved copperplate. Like
many other things Of use and beauty.
this art Of copperplate engraving was
discovered through the merest acct
dent by the goldsmiths of Florence in
the fifteenth century.
1t is a historical fact. however. that
one day an engraver on gold. wishing
to take a proof of his work. made the
usual sulphur cast and then filled up
the lines with lampblack. thus ena-
bling him to see exactly how his work
looked. While occupied in doing this
it occurred to him that possibly the
same results could be obtained by fill
ing up the original engraving with
lampblack instead Of making nm i'm
preston of it and filing up that
Struck with the idea, he put it into
practical use and. with q little damp
paper. succeeded in getting a fair i'm
preston from the engraving.
The discovery was communicated to
other workers in the art. and they
hailed it with Joy. as it saved all the
arduous trouble Of making sulphur
casts. but they never saw the full
value Of the discovery. and consequent
~ the art Of plate engraving lay for
almost a century before its true i'm
port was discovered and brought out
In all its great and beautiful results.
Today collectors Of plate %engravings
rave over the crude results Of earlier
times and search the world for exam
pies Of these early masters to add to
their collections. Many of these col
lections have been presented to mu-
seums. where they may be seen and
appreciated by the people.

When Red Hill
Glori6ed
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1912, by Associated Lit
erary Press.

The village of Red Hill had no rail-
road. 1t had no telephones. 1t had a
birth or a funeral at long intervals.
Lightning had struck anything
there. and a hurricane had never been
heard of. There was no politics. dog
fights nor lawsuits.
Red Hill just went right along with
out any man breaking a s%uspender as
he climbed a fence Or any housewife
burning her bread in the oven as she
gossiped at the gate. but her day was
coming.
On the morning of a certain day
the pasture and charged the town and
ripped open three barrels of salt and
upset a buggy. At high noon a mad
dog ran through the streets and bit a
hog. At 6 o'clock in the evening as
| Moses Hepburn was milking his COW
by candlelight she kicked the lantern
over and set fire to the barn. The
flames were extinguished after doing
| 80 cents worth of damage. but Moses
didn't stop there. The next evening
he electrified the %postofice crowd by
suggesting a town fire department.
There were two or three old conserva-
tives who solemnly shook their heads
and declared that CONGREGATIONS were
the handiwork of Providence and
shouldn't be squirted out, but the town
in general received the idea with en-
thusiasm and wondered that it had
not been preached before.
Inside of half an hour forty men had
put down their names as fremen. and
the town trustees had named a COM
mittee to go to New York and look at
a hand fire engine and report on the
cost. 1t was only after the report had
been made and public spirit worked
up to the boiling point that a cloud Of
trouble sailed over the horizon. All
Of a sudden everybody remembered
that a fire department must have a
foreman, and everybody felt that he
was just the man o the place. 1t
was Absalom Jones who made the first
break by rising up and saying:
81 am not the a as you all know,
to thrust myself forward, but on this
occasion l arise to say that I am will
ling to make sacrifices and become the
boss of the fire company. All l ask in
return. in case l perish while doing my
duty, is that you will visit by grave
now and then and cherish my mem
ory.'
Then Hiram sandman got up. Hi
ram had once assisted to put out a fire
in a grocery store in Syracuse and he
considered himself a fire veteran.
There was no doubt in his mind that
whoever was elected foreman would
sooner or later tumble off the roof of a
burning house and break his neck, but
when duty called he was not the man
to hang back. He had but n neck,
but he would gladly break that and his
back to boot snatching widows and or
phans from the grasp Of the fire tiend.
There We're faint cheers as he sat down
with moisteped brow. but the applause
