Cheer up, dear folks, you will
not freeze though Boreas sends his
fiercest breeze—for as there’s coal
for every need from worriment
you should be freed. If not the
kind you’ve always had, you’ll
find these others “not so bad.”
Full many find it no great fuss to
use our good Bi-tu-min-ous, and
every fire will make good heat it
fed with rations of Buckwheat.
So cast your troubles in the sea.

History
In connection with the annual tur-
key dinner or the Phoenix Engine
company held last night. a review or
the history or the organisation since
its {ovulation is interesting. The Phoe-
nix Engine. company was organized
Dec. 15. 1855 by a score of prominent
Citizens of the old Borough of ’or-
walk. From this. it will be seen "hat
the company is over 65 years old.
Much enthusiasm was manifested at
the first meeting of citizens to form
the new tire company. The first fore-
man to be elected was It. B.’Crau{urd
while James a \Vntorbury was elected
assistant. At this meeting. it was vot-
ed to misc money for the purpose of
purchasing handdrawn fire apparat-
us. The money was quickly raised
and the apparatus for many years was
iltn pride of the uptown section of the
city.

Listed in the first minutes of the
Phoenix Enginercompany are a. score
of names of those who took part at
the meeting in which the company
was organized. Among these names
are those of: R. B. Crawford. J. C.

From 1858 to 1923 is a long's’tlme.
During that 'period‘ fire apparatus
changed styles rapidly with new lm-f
provements being added each year.
Or. the walls of the Phoenix‘Engine
company are three pictures which
portray the improvement, in the ap-
paratus“ of the company.- The first
picture shows the hand-drawn fire
pumper; the second is a scene. of a.
fire with the ‘hot‘se-drawn-hpparatus
consisting of a hand~pumper; the
third is a picture of the horse-drawn

it was in this fashion that the“'ap-

pany advanced with the years. After
the day of the handedrawq pumper:
horses were used for'pulllng the hand-
pump. A new steam-pamper was in-

..Within the comfortable tire head-
quarters in Main street there are many '
interesting relics. There are two hands
some silver trumpets. The first was
won on July .4, 1860 in Stamford in a.
hand-pumping contest; the second
was won in Westport. the same year.

A review of the original by-laws of
the Phoenix Engine company is inter-
lasting with reference to the offenses
for which fines ranging from 12 1-8
cents to one dollar was imposed. There
are, nlmteen ,, dlflement mixers-es music
a. member might commit and for
which he might; be fined. Among
these rules there are quoted because
they have since became obsolete: “For
leaving the drag rope without per-
mission or forbearlng assistance, fifty
cents fine; for wearing his hat or cap
during meeting time, 25 cents: mem-
bers or committees for not attending
to their prescribed duties shall indi-
vidually be fined one dollar."
