When he got off the train at the North avenue station he inquired of a railroad employe where the church wasvand was "told by the employe that he did not know. The stranger then proceeded down to where the taxicabs stand, and when he asked one of the drivers where the church was located he didn't know either. I The minister then sought to findj th church himself, and meeting ai citizen who volunteered to show him where It was, he was taken to the Park Avenue Baptist Church, one mile away from the church to which be wanted to go.

The minister, needless to say, eventually was set right. The inci- in tbeled- the tyrant sun 'shall be subdued and all his counselors resign, the eye imperial city.

Former Fire Chfef Doane has one of best memories, for the exploits of the old volunteer days, before the new-fangled fire apparatus and city water came into use. When behind his favorite brand of cigar, ifterAhe duties of 7 the day. In which" be still keeps active, as building inspector, the reporter drew.hifn out out a little the other evening.

These are some of theniV WHen the fire alarm system wa adopted by the city, and boxes were located at Ekreet corners iso convenient that an incipient braze could be reported, on the instant, tt was supposed that there would be nothing to fire flgfiting after, that. Just pull the-lever In the box, and tjiere the firemen were, 'ready to turn. on a stream. The.

firemen were there all right, in theif regular speed and form, when a box was pulled, but sometimes, especially at night, they did not get word -of somja' latent blaze that had smouldering, then brojee out In Its fury; until it was a. real proposition to fight. The fire alarm boxes were opened by keys whieh. were located at the nearest hduses, and a placard on the bo told where to find the key. Af ter while Chief 'Doane thought the newspaper reporters were the last ones out at night, having had to know, this fact when they used to qpme to interview him about fire.

any old time of night, and he gave them keys to the boxes. They, however, were very discreet about using the keys and- not like an old minister living near t.h corner where alarm box was loeated, with a key to tbe box banging in his house. Abeut fhe first alarm turned in. from a box was. in day and the whole 'department' rushed to- the scene, finding-tbe minister standing ip the midst of an interested crowd of men and boys', explaining to how the fire alarm workeXl.

He had taken the key from his house, and opened the new-fangled coatraptiotk, pulled the hooky and the big fire whistler on the electric light house, at Madison avenue and West Second street, roared forth like the. bull' of Bashan. loud enough to be" heard In Rahway. The whistle which was new then, seemed to rejoice iu making, its loudftt noise, so. being one of the first of its experiences, naturally roused the whole town.

When Cnlef Doane came to the box to ask where the fire was, the minister said: ''O, there is no fire', but I was just explaining to the folks how to work the alarm when there is one." The Chief wanted to say something, as he saw the appa ratus all lined up ready, to turn on a stream, but when a boy his mother had taught him to confine his conversation more to' the old line, of invective. "Yea, yea. and So he did not say all thought. The fire alarm system was all right but when first installed the wires were not placed as securely as 'they are now, and were often blown down or broken by whieh broke limbs of trees, and often fall by the weight of snow and sleet, so for several years the "trouble-shooters" had to keep on duty night-and day. It was Chief Doane.

his assistant John W. Murray, and the lineman Herbert Chamberlain, of the -company, who also was engaged to look after the electric part of the fire alarm, that were always ready to hunt np breaks. The big whistle always tooted for a break, and then the three men' were out after lt, any time of day or night. Chief Doane never tires telling of the faithfulness of Herb Chamberlain In this particular line of work, always ready on call for a quarter of a century, day and and sometime all night. It generally happened that the worst time to be outside the4 house, nights when a blinding storm of rain or snow was raging, and when, the lightnings flashed and the thunders roared, that the breaks in the wire occurred.

and often the only ones seen on the' street at dead of night, were these three men hunting out the breaks. It sometimes took them all over town. Once after going over the! system, and not finding the break, they returned to the fire headquarters, and its cosy warmth, to find the trouble in the batteries in the house. One night, when a thunder storm was raging, an alarm came that the oil clpth factory on North avenue, near the site of the present freight house, was on 'fire. In the drying room were thousands of yards of oil cloth, drying, and Chief Doane told stalwart John Kiely.

who happened to be there, to take the fire-axe and open the doers. He did so, and the men carried the hose in but at that moment the hanging oil cloth, loosed from the poles, fell upon thm several feet deep, but they crawled" out. and kept on fighting the fire. There were no hydrants at that time, and the water was drawn from a fire well at East Second and Richmond streets, through a quarter of a mile of hose. One day in a sleet storm" a wire broke under the weight of from a pole in Netherwood.

The chief and Herb Chamberlain went there. Mr. Chamberlain climbed the pole in the strong wind, but was blown loose from his holding, and came tumbling EDUCATIOYAL those who should be wise. Any railroad employe at the North ave-u station ought to be able to direct a stranger to any place in any part of the city, and for a cab driver to lack a complete knowledge of iha town is even worse than the ignorance of the station employe. The citizen who undertook to direct the minister at least knew where one Baptist church was, and he did lne best he could when he took him to a place where he finally received correct information.

Dogs should be kept within some sort of bounds. They become a general nuisance when a great number of them get together and congregate in one place. When the owner of a dog finds his canine so popular that his neighborhood is becoming a mec-ca where all the dogs in the community meet to hold convention, it is time that the owner of that dog confine his pet where the canine will be less able to entertain visitors. That much owners of dogs owe to the neighbors. "Pedestrians have hard "enough times of it these days dodging automobile trucks without being bothered by the necessity of picking their way through assemblies of dogs which block the sidewalk and resent the passage of any one.

It is true that a good dog Is the friend of his master, but too often he is the enemy of every one else. But, when all Is said and done, one thing Is Bure, and that is that dogs, like children, should be taught their place.

1. Th Universal Negro Improvement Association held the last business meeting of Its thirty-day convention at Liberty Hall. 138th street and Seventh avenue. Monday night.

We object to mandatories for Africa as contained tn the League of Nations. Not until we lick some one on the battlefields of Africa will the nations of the world respect us, and we will do it some day." Garvey praised American Institu tions, saying they would further the cause of the negro, but added that tne practices of the Southern States were not American. charged Premier Lloyd George had requested the State Department to prevent him from leaving the country, and to suppress the association.
