Here Captain Costello and twenty-eight
men were in line, waiting to receive the
visitors. They are a fine body of men,

their appearance. Addresses were made
by Chief Prowitt. Mayor Hubbell and
Councilman Chinery. Mayor Bubbcll
iongratulated Captain Costello upon
the men he had gatherml around him
and his popularity with the members of
his company. The apparatus was then
Inspected. The company has a jumper
with 550 feet of hose. Their carriage is
out of repair. Chicf Prowitt. in com-

Where a pleasant surprise awaited them.
At thclast insxx-ction the company was
not up to st 1ndard and the Council
was mmsirlcring seriously thc advisibili-
ty of disbanding it; but now all is chang-
ed. The loam-ling party found twenty—

unavoidably absent. The visitors 11'1-1'c
pleased with this excellent showing. R11-

and councilmcn. Mr. Chi ncry explained
that the Pioneers wcrc ready to reform-
ish their parlors in a handsome manner
assoon as the city should ro-papor the

new one. Thc city property was found

marks were in order, as in the other
houses. CityI Clerk E. M. Lockwood
closed the speech-making by referring to
the honorable record of thnix Engine
company, the oldest fire company of the
city. He said the citizens received bet-
ter service than they could get by a paid
department. Referring to Captain Chin-
ery, Mr. Isickwmdsaid he was not only
popularsvith the company, but with the
tinned re-clcctiou to 1111111111111. of coun-
cilmun.
The inspecting party then prrx'eedcd
to box 56, located on the green at the
head of lower Main street, and an alarm
was turned in. The companies of the
department went to the new hydrant at
the corner of Main and School streets.
Three lines of hose from the supply
wagon were laid down School street. By
this time a second alarm had been“ sent
in for the isteamcr. In short order wat-
er was turned on and the steamer did
some excellent work; Daring tho test a
patent hose jacket was exhibited. It
can be used in case of a burst in the line.
It was found to be vcry priu'tical and
one or two will probably be ordered by
the city.
Chief Prowitt was v11-llplearsod1vith

He said the impaction was one of the

Thieouv of the Time of Charles I.
Moll Cutpurso's entrance into a gang of
thlcvcs was beset by no difficulty. The
Bear garden. always her favorite resort,
had made her acquainted with all the
divers and rumpads of the town. The
time, moreover. was favorable to enter-
prise, and once again 111111 genius ball into
agoldcn age. Thecuttinguf purses was an
art brought to perfection, and already the
more elegant. practice of picking pockets
was understood. Thotmusltion gave scope
for ondlcssingonuity, and Moll was not
slow in mastering thethcory of either craft.
It. was uchanging fashionof dress which
forced a new tactic upon the thief; the
pocket was invented, maybe because the
hanging purse was too easy a prey for the
tblevish scissors.“ But no sooner did the
world conceal its wealth in pockets than
the cly fllcr was born to extract the booty
with his long, nimblo fingers. And the
trick was managed with an admirable
forethought which has been a constant
example of after ages.
The fllo was always accompanied bye
bulk. whose duty It was to jostlo and dis.
rifled. Tho bung. or what not. was rapid-
ly passed on to- -tlm attendant rub, who
scurried off boforo the cry of “Stop thief I"
could be raised. Thus was the craft of
thieving pru1 ticod when Moll was enrolled
a humble member of tl111,gang. Yet un-
turo had notondowcd her with the quail-
tics which insure an activotrlnmph. “The

"10 Y. W. '0. I. U. Decides to Raise Funds for
a Most Worthy Purpose.
The scini-uionthly devotional and bus-
iness meeting of the Young Women's
Christian Tcmpemnce Union was held
‘.1t the home of Mrs. G. F. Waters, Fri-
lay evening, December 13.
A portion 11f the time allotted to the
transaction of business was spent in dis
cussing plans of work. and the Union
voted to start a fund for the purpose of
ziving aid to those desiring to throw off
the drink habit, but who, for lack of
nouns, cannot avail themselves of the
treatment. .
Neither as I Union nor as individual
members are we rich in this world's
goods, we are sorry to say, therefore we
used. and are ever grateful for financial
aid from any fricnds who believe in the
white ribbon work or workers. ‘
At all meetings of the Union. persons
not members are cordially Welcomed,
1nd1to not a few such friends we are in- ,
debted for contributions toward the, pro-
gramme of the social hour following our
meetings. We believe most heartily in
the gospel of the social hour. and that
true play never failsto make thc worker 11
stronger for the work.

And it is Aggravating.
As a rule most people are intensely
exasperated when, after wading through
some exciting story in the newspaper.
which they 1111111 devoured with breath-
lessinterest, to find at the finish it is onlv
1a trap to ad1ort1sc some wonderful soap
or patent medicine. Of course it' s dis-
appointing, but just (oiisidcr ho11
cleverly iris done, and by the way, what
a wonderful industry has been developed
in this mode of advertising. Some of
the great medicine firms pay their adver-
tising agent ten thousand. dollars ayear:
a certain nuinufm'turer of soap, pays his
advertiser twenty-five thousand. Just
think of it, and while you are thinking
just remember that“A Midnight Frolic"
is the best show on the road.
