Before the week was out everybody | in town knew that sunthin was up, and one evening Reube shot off his | speech to the postofiice crowd and made a big bit. He had the number of fires and the losses In the United States | fur the last fifty years, and be showed how a fire company kept down taxes, reduced insurance and was the main- spring of liberty. He pictured the town of Jericho In ashes fur the want of sunthin to squirt out a conflagration, and when he went on to describe wid- | WENT WHOOPING DOWN THE ROAD, ders lookin Into the, embers fur the bones of their husbands and husbands shovelin over hot coals in search of the remains of wives and children even Joe Truelove was scen to wipe a tear | from his left eye. Kur once everybody seemed to be agreed, and when Relibe was named fur foreman of the compa- ny nobody kicked. Before the meetin closed it was resolved to buy two more palls and another ladder and that the company should be uniformed. Jericho woke right up. Real estate hegan to jump, Tom Bigelow put down glx rods of new sidewalk, and Homer Lee repainted his barn and put new hinges on his gate. [People who came gver from Dobbs Ferry and witnessed the speerit of enterprise went bome jealous of the town, and a lightnin rod wan said that the bustlin reminded him of the early days of Kansas City It wasn't a week before the Widder Taylor's smokehouse got afire at midnight, and Peleg Scott rung the alarm bell in a way to turn the bull town bottom side up in five minits. That fire company went at that conflagration to conker or die, and in 17 minits the red tongued flames of destruction had bin doused out, and Jericho was safe. In a leetle speech which follered the fire Squar' Danvers said tbat Rome in her palmlest days pever equaled the occasion, and Phile- tus Johnson declared that the thanks | ['of congress would be a poor reward fur such beroism. The day the firemen got their uni forms Jericho got up on her hind legs and howled. There was sich excite. ment In the town that soft soap was allowed to boll over, bread was burned up in, the ovens, and most folks forgot to feed their hogs. Some iden of what sort of & roysl jubilation it was kin be [gathered "from the fact that one gro- cery alone sold 16 lemons and 7 cocoa~ puts durin the day. It was Reube Holdfast's Idea that a fireman should always be on duty, and he advised ev- ery member of the company to wear his uniform day and night. When the first thunderstorm cathe along, the fire bell rang, and the company turned out and stood ready to rusb to the spot If lightnin hit anythin. If there was a dog fight in front of the town hall, the company come rushin up, and if any- body's team ran away or a kitchen stove got red hot there was a dash of red shirted heroes. Jericho was boom- in, but Reube wasn't satisfied with ber progress. He got his company out and marched them to Sunday church and to Thursday evenin prayer meet in. There was a lawsuit over a cow between Jim White and Aaron Tomp- kins, and the fire company was present In full uniform. Old Mrs. Hopkins was taken sick, and the doctor sald she must go, and Reube felt it bis duty to march the company up to her house and bid her a last farewell. Her slck- ness took a turn fur the better, and she begun to git well, and Reube marched the company up ag'ln to give her three cheers fur not dyin. After about a month there was only one thing lackin. The fire bad turned out fur everythin but a fu neral, but death had obstinately refus- ed to gin it a show. There was a lot | written | of old folks > with asthma and liver com pleut sad a lot of babies with whoop- and measles. b feet of airth the fire bells rung and red shirts went whoopin down the road. Mrs. Billings didn't seem to care very much whether they got Lish"s body or pot, bein it was alrepdy buried, but they was determined to hev it fur a funeral. They worked all the arter- noon and all night, and at intervals Reube had the bells toled fur the dead. Nobody In Jericho slept. The well kept cavin In, and the firemen kept workin like heroes to clear it out. It was 8 o'clock next mornin when they found Lish's old hat. As it was passed up to Reube he shed tears and turned his head away. DPhiletus Johnson was | jest remarkin that Lish's loss was our | gain or something of that sort, and the | diggers down in the well were lookin | fur arms and legs, when Lish himself appeared in the crowd. He seemed to | be In good health and speerits, and he | cho kin go to thunder! carelessly remarked to the fire compa- ny that he was much obleeged fur sav in him a week's work. Nuthin was sald fur about a minit, but presently Reube Holdfast wiped the tears from his eyes and asked: "Lish, whar you bin since yesterday noon?" "Up stalrs in the house," says Lish. "What was your objeck ?" "To boom Jericho by gettin up a fu- peral. Thar"s my old bat, and you kin take it along and bury it in good shape." teube called off his company, and they marched back to town with sol- emn tread. They hadn't put away their red water pails before folks was laugh- in at 'em, and before sundown the doom of the fire company was sealed. Ligh Billings bad thrown 'em down, and the public was guyin and ridlculin. When the 7 o'clock mail had bin dis- tributed. Reube stood up in the post- office and said: "Feller citizens, wharas this 'ere town of Jericho don't seem to apprecl- ate enterprise, vigilance, heroism and booms aud wharas she'd ruther be at the mercy of the fire fiend than to have ber disastrous conflagrations squirted out. now tharfore resolved that this band of heroes be dishanded, and Jeri- ° M.

Cn a ship returning from oue of ber tours in tropical lands was a monkey which became a great friend of the stewardess. One day she fed another monkey, a pretty, gentle creature. This | trifling attention enraged the other monkey, which coaxed the little thing to its side and then, before the stew- ardess bad time to realize that mis- chief was meant, took it by the neck and flung It overboard. Of another monkey the same person tells that while preparing dinner for a grand party the cook was absent from the kitchen for a minute. No sooner had her back been turned than the monkey slipped a kitten of which It had always been jealous Into the soup pot. Why a Minister Gave Up Preaching. A minister bad his salary cut down $100 a year or so ago (and this was ina western church) because his wife wore a handsomer gown than some of the prominent women in the congregation. The reason was given openly, and the matter found its way into public print. The fact that the wife's wealthy aunt was the donor seemed to be of no con sequence, and the poor woman herself, given to her private affairs, succeeded in persuading her husband to with- draw from the ministry.--"A Minister's Wife" in Ladies' Home Journal.
