hunger, fatigue and fright brought sleep to
tired lids. Even when Yolette and Hide
came in the child did not wake.

AS he spoke he f~urtively felt for some
purloined silver forks that filled one pocket,
found them still there, glanced maliclously
at Yolette and coughed gently.
Where is the Nanterre fort?" asked
Hide, family.
The Mouse explained in a weird whisper,
apparently much relieved that nobody Of

"Parbleu! There's not much society IN

he might have added that he was going at
the risk of his life, but risks were too COM
mon at that time to occupy the attention
of even such a coward as the Mouse. Wher-
ever he went there were smells and bullets

K Flrst Assistant Foreman Oscar Gspler assured the company in his sturdy style, that although not man at many words, he hoped to show the bripade that he was man of action, il unfortunately, any call might be made in the future for the services Of the brigade.
 Banker John Dessart, the treasurer, assured the brigade that all funds en- trusted to his care would be well ta- ken care of.
 Assistant Chief F. Herrera took the floor at a call from the company, and reyiewed the birth and'growth of the Npgaes Fire Department from its
 eary inception to the present time in tte following terms: Chief, officers aDd members Of the Nogales Fire Brigade. 1 think it proper, in view ol the progress of our city Of Nogales, O review tue why and how the fire Apartment was born. Away back in tle early sos athe city was largely built of wood, and it occurred to the tpwnspeople that coniiagration night be in order at any time, and tbey proceeded to form an embryo nIe company. The town was young apd comparatively poor, and funds =eEe net plenty, but with the inborn energy of the American people start Nas made by the purchase of some twO hundred feet of hose, but being
 Unable to obtain power of water to

 apartment. Subscriptions having
 peen raised largely amongst the mem YerS themselves, resulted in the Puichase of very efficient hand pumping engine and hook and lad pe' truck. The next problem that 'Onlronted the department was how " properly house the apparatus; this dS solved by our chief, L. w.

 "This, as nearly as l can remember, is the history of our present organiza- tion.n
 Chief l.. W. Mix acknowledged modestly the eulogium pronounced by Assistant Chief Herrera, and magma nimously. and in his usual neat man. ner, called to the attention of the brigade, a small matter that had been lost sight of, saying that he alone could not claim all the honor of ini- tlating the present fire brigade, that MT. R. H. Clarke was the pioneer, the first secretary and one who had worked hard and stood by the con- pany from the first, was deserving Of some mention, and called upon him to respond. Secretary k. H. Clarke remarked that in conjunction with a former member of the fire brigade, MT. w. w. FlewelliDg, still resi- dent in Nogales, they had originated the present fire brigade, had obtained a list of thirty names as members and subscriptions to the amount of SloO or sl6O, had found out where an efficient apparatus could be obtained and at price within the means of company, after which they looked out for leader, one possessing executive abili- ty, bravery, and enough of this worlds goods to bring the Nogales Fire De- partment to successful issue and knowing the military record of Capt. l.. w. Mix as commander of one Of the crack military companies of Calif- ornia, his unexampled liberality and generosity, they, Clarke and Flewell- ing, approached him offering the com mand of the brigade and promising whatever support they were capable of giving to him. The captain plead his many and diversified interests, his unavoidable absences from the city, aud with his usual modesty doubted his power to fill the bill, but the self formed committee were not to be put of, and although admitting to the captain that large amount or self abnegation was required of him, still they were confident that he was the man for the command, and that man of his liberality and ability ought to sacrifice himself to certain extent for the good of the community. The captain, unable to refuse such persistency, accepted the onerous position; and lucky affair 1t was for the fire department, and most par ticularly for the city of Nogales, the property holders and insur ance com panies, as ii the captain had refused the fire department would have sut- fered a setback that would have left the city without adequate means to combat such a serious enemy as a con- flagration for perhaps several years.
 The secretary remarked upon the efficiency of Assistant Chief Herrera, which is so well known as not to re- quire any especial eulogy, also testi- tifed to the peculiar appropriateness of all the other officers, and thanking the brigade for their attention to his remarks, subsided.
 The evening was enlivened by a very happy feeling amongst the mem bers, and several "reminiscences of fires and alarms and funny incidents in the lines of the members were re- peated. Whether the refreshments partaken of were responsible for the general happiness, or whether said

Frequently letters or papers get In the
wrong boxes. Under the former lack Of

Troops BE Shipped From Savannah

Bacon and Clay VIII Ask That
Troops BE Shipped From Savannah.
Replies have been received from sena-
tors a. o. Bacon and A. S. Clay to the
letters sent them by President D. G.
Purse, of the Board Of Trade. directing
their attention TO the many advantages
Savannah offers as point for the further
embarkation of troops for the islands Of
Cuba and Porto Rico.
In his reply Senator Bacon says: "I have
read with much interest the testimonials
enclosed as to the advantages of Savannah
as port of embarkation of troops for Gu
ba and Porto Rico, and will very earn
estly and cordially cooperate with Col.
Lester in the effort TO have your city Sc
lected by the war department for this pur-
pose"
Senator Clay, in replying, wrote as fol-
lows: I have this day addressed a let
ter to the Secretary Of War, calling his
careful attention 20 the contents of your
letter, and asking his most favorable con-
sideration. I beg to assure you that 1 shall
be pleased to join with Col. Lester at all
times in doing what I can to advance the
interests of the city of Savannah"
Mr.. NJ. Ed. Wilson has volunteered to
furnish any photographs of the transports
while here. etc, free of charge if they can
be made of service.
In the letter sent to the Secretary of
War and the senators, Savannah's advan-
tages were compiled and presented in an
admirable manner. Not point that would
strengthen the port in the estimation Of
those having the cmbarkation of troops in
charge, was omitted The conditions of
health We're carefully pointed out, the
abundance of water shown, the ample
transportation facilities here from Jack
sonviae explained, the depth of water in
the harbor given beyond dispute by the
citing Of ships which have recently left
the port, and the facilities furnished here
for the prompt handling of large bodies Of
men set forth al length. At this port 1t
was indicated, in addition to all these ad-
vantages, all necessary repairs and alter
atoms to transports could be promptly
and cheapEy made, and supplies which
might be required could be bought at rea-
sonable prices. With the points~in favor
of this port so clearly presented, Savan-
nah has good reason to believe it will not
be overlooked when the time comes to
move the troops from jacksonville to Cuba
