The flro department appeared bo promptly and fueeeeded ao veil that not even the roof of the building was burned, and only three tona of hay wero damaged by the water. Hay la a very difficult thing to manage when It once gets on fire. The cause of the blase Is un- known. The following Sunday, the depart* mont waa called to Kehliworth at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon to ex- tinguish a nro in ihu Konuwoitli Inn. The firemen handled It so successfully that only a very email hole was burned In tho roof. The people at the Inn think the Are was caused by the wiring, but Mr. Walter iL aibbUvthn fireman, thinks that tho Are may have been caused by cinders, as It was very near the chimney. At any rate, the damage done waa very alight The reporter was interested in the Lake Shore News Start* Art Gallery of Periodical Publication Print* TlX Picture* Formerly Consigned To Watte Basket Found To Have Both Qeauty and Interest.

Into an ait gallery of pic- tures from current magaalnea, and froav the dally papers. One result of tho experiment is the realization of the first class pictures which are be- ing printed by the dally papers. The collection includes advertisements, Oamoa. guns, greed, art pictures, allegories in picture, cartoons, crayon sketches, color prints, half-tones, pen and Ink drawings, pho- tographs, prints, and tike new "roto- gravure process. How It Started. The editor had bought two maga- zines, of current Issue, and a Sunday paper, one Sunday afternoon, and settled himself to read a little before writing several galleys of "stories." His attention was attracted to some uncommonly beautiful pictures In ono sf the magazines. It occurred to htm to cut them out and put them on tho bare walls of tho office. When these first had been placed, still others at- tracted his attention in the same mag- azine. The thought of how much beau- ty and interest is every day dumped into the waste paper basket Intruded insistently, and he continued his work with the shears on the other magazine. Next came the dally, or Sunday paper. To his surprise, this yielded a score of pictured or both Interest and beauty. Even the gaudy "colored supplement" contributed a rather fine poster. The rotogravure section had aome really fine prints. The Investigator secured two copies of It, able to use the picture? on both sides- Then some friends contributed seme of their pictures, which were left oxor from previous weeks. By this time the collection had grown to about half department, and naked how it was m hundred pictures of many different kinds, from funny cartoons, full cov- ers, and double page prints. Several fine portraits were now included In the collection. Hew to Oenalfyf , ...A,^ The subject of how to classify the Sewly collected trophies next forced s attention upon the collector. Should they be grouped upon the walls by their shape? by their atao? by their color? by their subject matter? accord' lng to the publications which printed them? as war or peace? as portraits or prints ? art or allegory (of the latter there were many)? according to their purpose? or their design? as to their appearance with reference to the others and the'lights in the room? The hours sped; the "sun set, midnight came, and still he worked with his shears. The notes for half a dozen other stories, of politics and policy, lay neglected. No, the question of ar- rangement must be.worked out gradu ally. As the collection Increased, and space on the walls became limited, the less worthy would be weeded out. He would depend upon the taste and dis- crimination of the fair visitors to the offices tor suggestions as to grouping, and place. For the present a rough classification, a compromise between subject, slse and appearance, would have to suffice. The pictures were at- tached to the walla with pins only. Several old magazines and some ad- vertisements were rescued from the discard and rewarded the rescuer by some fine pictures which had been hardly noticed at the first reading. The booklet of a Wilmette advertiser showed some rare prints. Kinds of Subjects. The subjects ami Interests illus- trated are almost aa varied a* human nature. Below la given a list which Is only partial and suggestive of the possible to assemble the volunteer men ao quickly. Mr. Sibbte told him he could reach any part of Wilmette In eight minutes, or tafov aftor the alarm waa turned In, and have with him at least four men. Soma one bet Mr. Zibblo that he could not hitch up in less thaiK thirty seconds,. Accord- Ingly. that some one proceeded to time Mr. Zibblo. He lost his bet, for Mr. Zlbble adjusted tho harness In eight- eon seconds. The reporter next became inter- ested in the horses, "Prince." the left- band horse, la seventeen years old, and was bought from Bvanaton on the third day of April, 1896, together with "Flunkey," who is now pensioned, having reached the ripe age of thirty years. Bvanaton had bought the horses right after the Chicago world's fair to pull the engine which they bought at the fair. ."Flunkey" got his name from the fact that haJa tho only horse that can be, wed in arty cart. In any place, without being mud- dled up. It ho la wanted, to work in a new place, all that Is necessary is to lead him to his new place. The next alarm that comes In, If he Is In a "service" Btall, he will run at once to the place to which ho has been last led and hitched. He is the only horse who will do that Other horsea run to the place where they have been accustomed to work for years. In Bvanston, ho was used aa a relief horse, serving tn various places, to re- lieve hones which were etch or had been transferred. Even now. after a long time out of the fire service, if he is placed in a "service" stall, he answers tho calls aa promptly and eagerly as he did ten years ago. But for some time, now, he has been do- ing duty on the "street service" Wilmette. •* When ho waa bought from Bvana- ton, ten years ago. ho waa thin and sick, but Mr. Zlbble took care of him. got him back In good condition, and he has done years of faithful service. "Charley." only eight yeara old. is the junior partner" of tho service. He is tho heaviest, the fastest, and the most enduring horse In tho service. He waa broken and trained here by Mr. Zlbble. A big. magnificent gray, he la aa gentle ad a kitten and he loves to eat. He has learned how to open his stall door, by pulling the catch with his mouth, and then to undo tho snap of tho feed room with his month, and htatly to throw the cover of tho onto bin on the floor. Mr. Zlbble has hod to invent a new way to secure tho door to his stall, and it has required eeoalderable ingenuity. for tho bag gray » very clever with his mouth, and has solved several of tho casahhuHoue The station waa ao cold this win- ter that a plant, kept only three foot from tho old furnace, was fresco to are going to " from old age. and the fire -mr~ range covered by the current illustra- tions: Actresses, armor, and art.

Uses far Pictures. the editor worked with the shears, he began to think of the iime and money which had been expended to make and reproduce these pictures, which are thrown into the discard after barely a glance. Another pic- ture flashed Into his mind. The scene wag a children's hospital, and the eagerness with which they pored " pictures, no matter how old. < scenes cameâ€"the nursery, and scrap-books of childhood days; the children of the poor, with their horta; ons so circumscribed.
