egad. sir, in the State of Texas" He grew
quite yoluble and referred in terms Of easy

and ALEC" Stevens. and airily recalled the
details OF midnight conference, to which
he had once been summoned, al the Con-

and that when second round had been
called for by my companion and disposed

most annoyed expression as he hastily
withdrew his hand from his pocket with
the remark that he had left his pocket book

| begged him not TO think of il, and, as |
quietly slipped wodolar bill into his
hand, he frightened up. and an instant
later swept the change into his pocket and
walked jauntily out holding me by the
arm and rehearsing as we went the details
of bis last interview with General Lee. The
colonel closed his account Of the interview
with the remark:
"'Colonel.' said the general, as we parted
late at night, If | had your remarkable
genius. sir, for seeing my way out of diff
eulties / would have been in Washington
with my army year ago."

sensation of disappointment and grief at
finding the colonel IN a beastly state of in-
toXicaiion in one of the lowest dives in
town, where lie was performing a series Of
maudlin antics for the amusement OF q
group OF disreputsble characters. He leered
at me with a drunken attempt TO appear al
ease, but sick at heart / turned and left
him. realized that my first idol had been
shattered.
The next day the colonel was ignomni-
ously discharged, aud. as there was no
chance for him 10 secure another opening
in town, We dubbed together and bought
him ticket To Denver, where he expected
TO find employment, so he said, at least,
with John Atkins on the Rocky Mountain
News.

The summer OF 1883 came, and with others

the national convention. My first serious
task there was TO secure the 'news"of the
meeting Of the credentials committee since

fact that 1t witnessed the struggle in which

Electric Fire Engines

II seems not unlikely that before long the
fire engines In many of our large cities will
be worked electrically. The substitution
OF an electric motor in place CT the present
steam engine for running the pumps would
be one OF the first STEPS i'll an improved SER
vice. Wires to furnish power could be run
from underground conduits in the streets
up through posts close to the fire plugs, and
end in sockets similar TO those now used for
incandescent lamps. The objection has
been raised that to supply many fire engines
an extra supply of current would be needed.
A fire-alarln gong and indicator could be
placed in the electric-light works, and when
fire occurred one or more dynamoS could
be thrown into service at a moments notice.
