HERE have been great changes
in the city of Manila since the
era of Spanish occupation One
of the institutions established
mericans that have earned popu
larity is the lire department Much of
the elliciency which the Manila lire
fighters have attained is due to tho
work of that veteran fireman Hugh
Bonner who was recently appointed
deputy lire commissioner of New York
city for the borough of Manhattan It
has been said that Bonner conies near
er to being the embodiment of the story
book lire lighter than any other living
man lie is sixty six years of age and
when he was a youth lire lighting was
not an occupation of itself Even the
city of New York his birthplace
had no paid lire department Bonner
learned the tinsmiths trade as a young
man but as a boy he always ran with
the engines when a fire was to be put
out and as soon as he was old enough
he joined a volunteer company and
rose to be a captain In the volunteer
department While he was fighting a
fire with his company one day he and
his men were notified that they had
been made members of the newly or
ganized paid department lie continu
ed in the service about thirty five years
and for over ten years was chief of the
department raking it to a state of
efficiency that made it famous the
world over About a half dozen years
ago he resigned and was commissioned
shortly afterward to go to Manila and
undertake the establishment of Ameri
can methods of fire lighting in tho cap
ital of the Philippines
During the 300 years or so that the
dons ruled in Manila they had not
done much toward establishing a fire
department In a city of nearly 300
000 people there were only a few an
tiquated hand engines manned by vol
unteers All this has been changed

HUGH BONNER AND MA2JIIiA 3IETHODS BE
POIJE HE 1MPKOTED THEM
by the Avork Bonner did in his stay
of from two to three years In the city
Today the fire department is the pet
of property owners who no longer
watch in blank despair the burning of
their buildings when a fire breaks out
There are over 150 paid men In the de
partment About 33 per cent of the
force are natives but the officers are
Americans and many of the officers
and men are former United States sol
diers a fact which makes for good dis
cipline There are fire houses steam
and chemical engines and all other ap
purtenances of an up to date depart
ment The first time that Bonner and
his new service were called on to at-
tend a fire in Manila there was great
excitement in the rhilinnino citv A
blaze had started in the store of a I
chant on the Escolta the leading
street Shopkeepers by the hundred
ran out into the street fearing that
their stocks of goods would be consum
ed Amid a clanging of strange bells
and a clatter of hoofs the new firemen
made a record in reaching the scene
They obeyed their orders like soldiers
the fire was put out in leas than half
an hour and Manila did not get over
the sensation in a week
One time when Bonner was chief of
the New York fire department a fire
broke out on election night on Broad
way A force of thirty men were on
the fourth and fifth fioors of the burn
ing building pouring water on the
and thus their lives were saved
EARLY CREEK HISTORY
In the Tlm of Carte Tribe Life
Wuh Idyl lie
The Creeks are an entirely different
race of people from the Cherokecs and
other northern Indians They are of
Aztec or rather Toltec origin and In
a teocallis or pyramidal temple lo
cated in a secluded wild of the Creek
country the same religious rites and
ceremonies are performed today that
were performed in tho imposing teo
callis located on the bank of the beau
tiful Lake Tezcuco in th days of the
ill starred Montezuma II The archives
of the nation are here preserved in
hieroglyphics beautifully painted on
shells strung together on deer tendons
Here are nl so preserved their most
cherished relics their green jasper
altar and a life sized image of their
groat war god both brought from their
former home near Vera Cruz Mexico
At the time Cortes made his appear
ance in that neighborhood bent upon a
career of conquest and plunder the
Creeks as they are now called were
living a peaceful idyllic life in a land
made sacred to them by having been
the home of their ancestors for untold
thousands of moons and containing the
ashes and bones of their wise and
loved old men through many genera
tions Gathering their warriors to
gether they gave battle to the invad
ers but weapons of stone and Ilin
could make but little impression upon
the steel clad warriors of Spain and
the3 were defeated with terrible
slaughter Gathering wives and little
ones together and taking with them
their most cherished possessions
among which were the records of their
race the jasper altar and their war
god holding in his extended right hand
the sacrificial knife of Hint they made
their weary way to the capital of Mon
tezuma tho sacred city of Mexico
where they were warmly welcomed by
that unfortunate monarch and where
they fought bravely in defense of the
devoted city They assisted Gauto
maziu the chivalric nephew of Monte
zuma in his glorious if ill fated at
tempt to regain the throne of his an
cestors and upon its failure and the
attendant death of that young chief
tain by torture after the manner of
the ancient Israelites they determined
to seek a lanil that man knew no
where they might provide homes for
their families and worship the gods of
their ancestors Exchange
POINTED PARAGRAPHS
The man who loves his joke is usual
ly unpopular
Tut yourself in the other mans place
and you may stop abusing him
It is commendable to save your mon
ey but it is not commendable to look it
We Avorry as if we had to no through
a whole year tomorrow instead of just
one day
The cares and worries of life look
pretty good after all to those return
ing to town through the cemetery gate
When a soldier returns from a bat
tle his story of the fight is more in
teresting and less truthful if he returns
alone
Of course friends are a good tiling
but when misfortune comes to you
which do you wish you had more of
friends or dollars Atchison Globe
Cold Feet
Never go to bed with cold feet nev
er try to sleep without being perfectly
certain tht you will be able to keep
them Avarm To lie one night with cold
feet gives such a strain to the system
as will be felt seriously perhaps end
ing in a fit of sickness Cold feet show
an unbalanced circulation The very
best thing to do is to warm them by ex
ercise If that be practicable if not
by dipping them in hot and cold water
alternately two or three times and then
using vigorous friction If that does
not warm them and keep them warm
heat them before the fire drying them
thoroughly and then correct your hab
its or improve your health for be sure
that one or the other is wrong perhaps
both
Washington Irvlnpr
A house in William street New
York was Irviugs birthplace on April
3 17S3 The British were soon to evac

possession of it Mrs Irving a warm
hearted woman of English birth and
an ardent patriot of the new land said
Washingtons work is ended and the
child shall be named after him The
child was still in the care of a Scotch
nurse when one day she saw the pres
ident as Washington then was enter

president laid his hand on the boys
head and gave him a blessing which
he never forgot
