For the amusement of the boys WllO. "run
wit itte machine." we give the following racy
sketch from the Philadelphia North American:
As everybody knows who has watched mat
ters and things connected with the fire de•
pertinent, a certain class of firemen are devot
edly wedded to the practice of rolling the
bottoms or their trowsers above the tops of
their boots. Thiwis particularly the case with
some of the companies down • town, whose`
members,. excepting on Sunday. are never to
be seen with full-legged unmentionables. One
of the most radical lire companies of. this city
is located in the'vicinity of Southwark. Her
men delight in red flannel shirts and blue trow
sers—the latter rolled twat the bottom about.

that came up was a resolution' by Jim Cur

This was opposed by a member named Mike

"Look here' boys, you mtisn't think that Mike

Curley's motion. • Now, all I've got to say is,
if you adopt that Motion, I roll down my trow

Having delivered himself in this' manner
Mike took his seat, while the secretary took
the vote of,the members upon Jim's motion
about - the pumps.- The vote decided matters
in fattor ofJim's motion,: when Miko rose and
addressed the i-oheer." - "You voted ne'doven,
