'And when it's dark this man

startled pair in City park Sunday
said naughty things about the
man when his dazzling light
caught them just as John was
about to plant a kiss on Sues red
Hips.
"But the mean man was having
the time of his life.
| "Nobody's been able to see the
number on his machine yet.
"Some say he was jiltcd--tIat
the girl he was to marry left him
waiting at the church. and thai
he became embittered and re

Firemen's BANQUET.

lie annual ElFe10eIl banquet
was held at the Wehrli hall last
evening and was attended by
nearly one hundred firemen and
their families. The banquet was
served in two courses by w. A.
Kemper and his corps of able as
lsistants and to say ii was Il sue
cess but half expresses it. Three
long beautifully decorated tables
were placed in the center of the
room and they We're presided over
/ by about a dozen of the city's
fairest young ladies. Everything
was done to turn and was served
piping hot to the hungry guests,
land the way they did cat was a
sight that surely made the cook $
heart proud. After all had par
4 taken of the feast, candy mints
were passed to the ladies and
/ cigars to the men and while the
look of contentment was on all
faces a flashlight picture was
taken of the happy crowd by A.
N. Brown.
In few we'll chosen words j..
n. Fitzgibhon introduced j. N.
Tamisiea, who was TO act as
i toastmaster during the evening.
Mr.. Tamisica reviewed the history
of the department for the past
twenty years, recalling many a
humorous incident of the old
days. also many a pathetic one.
A paid department is a fine thing
and a necessity for a city, but
with volunteer department ey-
eryonc takes a personal interest
and pride i'm ills achievements.
Each of the firemen is personally
known to nearly everyone in
town and when Il fire breaks out
each one is willing to do his
share in helping the liremcn.
Mr.. ramisiea stated that during
the past twenty years but two
buildings had burned to the
ground, according 10 the reports,
which speaks very we'll for our
department.. ToasImaslcr Tamil
sica then called on Pres Wisler,
who also gave a short interesting

The Service Of the Newspapers

Puck. who threatened to put a
girdle round about the earth in forty
minutes" would be answered nov,
adays with the query: why take
SO long,"
Our newspapers bring to us the
records of the last few hours il
chaos-stricken Russia; they enable
Us to visualize the onward rush Of
the Germanic hordes to the plains #
northern Italy; they tell us little
human-interest stories of the tho
ghts, the viewpoints, and the advel-
lures of the soldiers of the Republic
who are awaiting their turns in the
trenches of northern France; they
tell us of the events of the day Ga
the British battle lines, and how
these strong sons of freedom, in un-
son with the inspired fighters Of
France, are welding the hammer IF
Thor on the crumbling German d.
fences.
The long reaches of material space
have been wiped out, and man has
conquered the time-factor. The mira-
Gle OF the modern newspaper is az
cepted as a commonplace of our dai-
ly lives. We wear Carlyle's tabled
time-annihilating hat. We are pres
ent, in spirit, at the battle-fronts, lard
feel the thrill OF the human drama
whose course will shape the destinies
of all of the earth's peoples for cen.
turtles to come.
1t is great thing to live in this
fateful hour-a greater thing TO
sense, its awful import to mankind
and to lend of ones full strength to-
the forces of light. 1t is a great
thing to be newspaper man just
now, and to help to keep the worlds
communities of free peoples in touch
and in unison. 'All service ranks
the same with Cod but this service
of the printed word calls to it tie
men and women who have faith and
vision and understanding = those
