Aa a Rule It Liken a Dkfc Blase and ( riiNl.inK Walin. “There is one curious thing connect Ft! with fires,” said a thoughtful man "and that is the fai t that while the fireman is always a hero in the public estimate aud while men and women have all kinds of admiration for these brave fellows they yet want to see them get the worst of it in the fight against the flames. It is an interesting fact that the average man and woman are not at all anxious to see Uie firemen cet the fire under control. They would much rather see the flames spread until the affair developed into an immense conflagration. Mind you, th» trait Is not at all vicious. There is no malice in it. It is simply the love of excitement and adventure, things that are so deep rooted in human nature that we may not control them at will. Besides, we want to develop our heroes to the limit. We want our firemen to fight a good fight against loug odds and under great difllculti»« We cannot quarrel with this feeling In the human makeup. After all, !t is what one may call the poetry of human nature, and without it tin • old system oours would be dull and prosaie iudeetl Os course, you will always find a few persons around a fire who are directly concerned in the tight the firemen are waking. They want to see the flames put out. In the case of some of the spectators it menus bread and meat. It means the loss of u position ot maybe the loss of home. But I was speaking of the vast majority of men and Women who gather to witness a fire. The tire is the thing with them. They want to see a big blaze and hear the crash of the wails and all that sort ot thing. Did you ever take the trouble to analyze a fire crowd? In the first place an alarm of fire will draw a crowd quicker than anything in the world. Whenever the bells begin to Hang and the engines go rushing down the street you will see men. women and children rushing this way and that in order to see as much as may be seen of the tire and fire fighters. The hour of day or night does not make so much difference The crowd will get there lu some way and for some reason, though the great majority of the persons have no sort of interest other than idle curiosity. Once on hand, they want to see a good fire, and that’s why I say they want to sen the names get the best of the firemen. They will go away and talk about what a game tight the fire laddies made.
