Mb. Bolink's Amateur Fire Bri?
gade.?Mr. Bolink owns and runs a
cooper shop near tbo House of
Correction, and as lie keeps a dozen
men at work, bo is bound to have
his shop run on "system." Tho
other day he was reading a news?
paper article in regard to the pre?
vention of conflagrations. Tho arti?
cle advised all employers to lay out
regular programme of what should
be done when a lire was discovered
in the shop, and drill his hands
until they imderstoodjit. He bought
fifty feet of hose for the penstock,
detailed a man to uso it in case of
fire, and then instructed each
other man and boy just what they
should do when an alarm was given.
One was to roll out ban-els, another
to throw staves through a window,
and each one knew what to jump
for. This was all right, and Mr.
Bolink had a good mind to cancel
his insurace policies and depend
on his local firo brigade. Before
taking this step, however, it occur?
red to him to give his programme a
trial. He had a little curiosity to
see if his employes would spring to
their post according to instructions,
and he studied a plan. Yesterday
morning he passed up stairs, kicked
a pile of shavings together on an
old piece of zinc, touched a match
to them, and next minute ran down
stairs, crying out:
"The shop is on fire! Fire! five!
fire!"
The man who was to use the
hose grabbed it up, threw it out of
the window, and jumped after it,
shouting "fire!" until he was heard
three blocks off. The man who
was to save the tools threw an adz
and hit Mr. Bolink in the back, and
then hit him again with a draw
shave. As Mr. Bolink was pawing
around on the floor, the man who
was to save the ready-made work
rolled five pork barrels over him,
kicked in the heads of three more,
and then dug out through the back
door. One man savod a peice of
board six feet long; another took
up a stave and broke two windows
before he fled, while the third
threw a hammer at the clock, utter?
ed a wild shriek, and kicked opeu
the side door. In two minutes tho
shop was clear of every one but Mr.
Bolink, and he was crawling out
from among the barrels, when
steamer No. 0 came galloping down.
The smoke was rolling up through
the roof, the boys yelling "fire!"
and the firemen were determined
to savo that cooper shop or perish
in the attempt. Mr. Bolink heard
the calling to "git them hose
around hyar," and to "play her up
to eighty-five," and he got to the
door and shouted: "Hold on, gen?
tlemen, thero is no fire here!"
"Git oyt'n the wav!" cried the
pipemen, "yer's yer mineral water!"
"It's only a joke, gentlemen;
there is no?" Mr. Bolink was
shouting, when the stream of water
lifted iijjnjoyor the barrels out of
the bacjt doorf ^^re he sat down
on a broken snave-4iordo until his
cooper shop had been filled with
water, and tho shavings had burnt
out. During the 'afternoon yes?
terday, his whole force were en?
gaged in emptying barrels, wring?
ing out draw-shaves, j hanging 'up
broad-axes to dry, and otherwise
getting, tho shop on a working
b asis.
Joe Howard, of the New York
Star, says that Beechor has such a
kindly heart, that, if a party of
burglars were to break into his
ho use Bome night to steal every
thing ho had, he would turn to his
wife and say: "Ma, you'd better
give these people some coffee and
cakes." "Ma" would be very apt
to drop some poison in the coffee,
however. She in not quite so emo?
tional as "Pa."
