as chairman. He was one of that

EVER READY FOR FIRES
ELABORATE PRECAUTIONS TAX
EN- AT GOVERNMENT POSTS.
Uncle Sam Furnishes an Excellent
Example to the Country In This
Respect-Few Losses by Con-
fiagratlons In the Army.

Perhaps the low percentage of fires
In the army Is directly due to the
fact that guard duty is never sus-
pended.
In daylight and dark, during peace
or In time Of war, armed sentries walk
their posts scattered everywhere over
the garrisons. Falling asleep while on
guard is serious offence. Therefore
the guards are always alert. Never
is- sentry mounted on post with
out caution to look out for fires.
One of the first charges in a guards
general orders is one in which he is
cautioned to keep a sharp watch for
hre. His first duty, in case building
Is occupied by humanity. is to warn
the occupants. Next he turns in a
general alarm. And when fire call is
blown by the trumpeter at the main
guard house every male member Of
the garrison, except the guard, is
compelled to hurry to the scene Of the
are, no matter where he is. and no
matter how he is dressed.
1t is not necessary that man
should be in regulation uniform to re-
spond to a fire call. Military fires
10 not wait for antagonists in full
dress parade costumes, any more than
city fires procrastinate while the mem
3ers of the department make careful
toilets.
Once week, sometimes oftener, in
every military garrison. large or
small, throughout the country, and
there are several hundred at home
and in our possessions, fire drill is
held. Not soul save the command.
ing officer is advised of what hour of
the day or night or on what day of
the week a fire call will be blown.
AS fires do not give warning of their
coming, writes Monroe Woolley in In
surance Engineering. it is obviously
advantageous that fire drill should
oe as uncertain.
When the fire call goes, either for
drill or for fight for life and prop
srty, the soldiers rush out OF their
quarters, leave their posts in the COM
pany kitchens, and on the drill
grounds. picking up fire buckets and
Dire axes as they go in the race for
the fire station. Some may be hatless,
some coatless and others shirtless.
But it is an honor to be among the
first to take hold of the fire equip
ment.
All the officers dash for the fire
house, too, and the highest ranking Of
fcer present assumes the duties of
fire chief. A run is made with chem
ical engines and hand drawn hose
carts and hook and ladder trucks for
building designated as the scene of
the fire. When the equipment is out
for fire drill the men take advan-
tage of the occasion and play water
on the windows Of buildings, giving
them good cleaning.
The amount of fire fighting appar-
atus furnished the posts by the gov
ernment for their protection is regu-
lated, of course, entirely by the size
and needs of each post.

FOX LIVES UP TO ITS NAME

Escapes From the Hounds.

The reputation Of q north of Eng

jumped upon a large tree which was
hollow halfway up, and, creeping in
side, was safe.
AS in this case, the two following
instances were watched, and the fox
tried his best move once too often.
Number one was always lost just on
the top OF hill, and 1t was proved
that he did not descend the other
side. On the hilltop there was hol-
low, and he would run. with the
hounds not far off, up the bank, and
then quietly lay himself fat down in
the bottom of this hollow. Right over
him ran the hounds and galloped the
horses. When they pulled up over the
crest the scent was finished. After
they had all passed him, foxy simply
crept out and went back on his old
track!
The other one used to trick the
hounds at the top of steep precipice.

hound would go-but Reynard did. He
stretched out his legs and slid down
the rock with his face to 1t, as a man
would, until his hind legs rested on a
narrow ledge. He let himself down
carefully, walked along the ledge and
entered a crevice at the end. From
this place he apparently had no way
OF escape, for the rock was too steep
to negotiate in either direction.
1t was found, however, that he had a
back door on the side of the hill-a
tunnel running between the two open
ings. Had he entered the hole on
the hillside he would have been
caught. but his front door was safe,
because no one could see 1t from the
top Of the precipice-Exchange.
