Little Benny By Lee Pape Mr. Riley the hooken ladder; di wu.s smoking his corn cob pipe in front of the nrehout; and 1 was tawking to him and asking1 him questions, saying, My moiher says the main reason why sh'd hate to ever have a fire la be- cause the firemen do more dam-1 mage with water than what the; fire does, is that rite, Mr. Riley? There' some fiction to It, but aj good eel of truth, Mr. Riley said.

I The average fireman isn as accurate with a hose as the aver age policeman is with a revolver, but young Gummus was. As long as young Gummus was with us, old Engine Company Number 8 never lost a contest at hose target shooting. He was a genius both at strate aiming and fancy aiming. I'll never forget the time he knocked the ashes off the mayor's cifcar at a distance of SO yards without even getting a drop of water on the mayor's necktie. That feet took the crowd by storm, all except the mayor, maybe, when he got to realizing that it was an expensive Havana cigar, and naturally It got a bit damp, Mr.

Riley said, and I said. And didn't he do as much dammage in houses as the other firemen did? No, that's the point I'm making, Mr. Roley said. Once he was watering a room where everything waa on fire except the piano, and when he finished the job there was the piano in the midst of the blackened ruins, as dry as punk and atlll in perfect tune. Gummus got a gold meddle from the Society of Piano Lover for that little feet.

Mr. Riley said, and I said. Why did he stop being a fireman? By request, Mr. Riley aid. He i had a hobby that was almost a vice.

I mean he was a aoovenir collector, and hi ambition was to collect a oovenir to remind him of every fire he ever attended. Well, it got so that nothing lew than a gold watch or a diamond ring would remind him of a house more than 2 stories high, so we had to ask him to resign. I'll see you astain some time, he said.
