Comrades: You will remember that we were paid two months pay, Sept. 10. and the following Gay you were paid state checks of BIO each, which was sup. posed to be paid quarterly. There was no regularity in paying you off. When Ithis important day came around, you

 Once you were paid in coupon bills
 hich were somewhat cumbersome but no more value than the ordinary
 reenbaok. These pay day days were
 A6me importance, as they were gener- Tally delayed until the sutler had scooped in no small part of your allotment. } The sutler had monopoly on all eat. ables excepting hardtack and beans, and he made as good display of his wares las emergencies would permit and as pay edays were so seldom and your appetites for pies, cookies and his daintiss had not entirely been lost, t,and as "no trust" was the rule, he had generously improyisod plan that worked with many to sc lop what would be coming to theunwary com rade. He had an order book with blank orders on the paymaster and had checks of various denominations, cents, 10 cents, 25 cents aud 50 cents. He would get your order for five dollars. or ten, us the liberality of the comrades would per. init, and then issue checks to cover the amount of the order and they were ne- gotiable throughout your camp. Then you were ready for trade Villainous pies were on tap at 15 or 90 cents each, and if you could not eat them you could use them as quoits, or roll them down the hill without chipping off even cor neE. One of the boys said :;
 "Ick, are these pies sewed or peggedYn Ick's smile was very dry. But "Old Auntie" that lived in shanty near by made and sold small pies that were fit for king, and she worked up quite a. trade in opposition to the sutler.
 But there was often a reckoning for the boys that indulged to much in these nicknacks and necessitate an answer to the Doctors call, !" which was every morning, and it was not an unusual thing to see hundred or more in line to take their turn at his nostrums, which were very imited-generally quinins. The maln point with many was to get excused from duty.

CAUGHT THE TRAIN
Automobiles Mishap While Conveying
 Patient to Depot.

~S'~''s NN ~SH~@"
 Thursday afternoon Bullock's garage had call from Dr. Stewart-who was attending Dr. Adam s patients-for an automobile and chauffeur, to- go to the Smith farm, short distance above Clayton, to convey, patient Mrs. Babb, to the station in time to catch the ex- press train for Pittsfield, where she was to undergo 8 serious operation at the hospital.
 George M. Bullock started up, with Dr. Stewart, in his touring car, got the sick lady on board and started back toward Canaan. When about half way from Clayton to Ashley Falls one of the tires picked up sharp ten-penny wire nail that had stationed itself at just the right angle in the rut, and the result was bad puncture and temporarily stalled automobile.
 Dr. Stewart went to the nearest tele. phone and called up the garage for an- other auto, with instructions to make haste in order that the patient, who was HI b SClIOuS OOllh1OAOLIJ Ah1ShO DC l1dCOu on board the train. Johnson, the mech anician at the Bullock garage, jumped into car and shot out of the garage like a cannon ball Making one of his daredevil drives he ploughed the sand of the Ashley Falls. Clayton road in record time, reached the stalled party, had the patient and doctor transferred to his machine, and reached the depot just in the nick of time to tcatch the mail train-the express having gone long before.

CHE MICAL EN CINE.
PURCHASED FOR CANAAN
 FIRE DEPARTMENT
Money All Raised, Machine Ordered, and Will Be Here Probably Today Demonstration to be Given Night of Fourth.

Canaan now not only has regularly organized and efficient fire department, but is in actual possession of chemical engine--a modern, up-to.date and ef- fective apparatus that will snuff out 8 fire as quickly as puff of wind will put out the light of 8 tallow candle. This machine is already bought, and actually paid for, and will be 8 conspicuous feature of the Fourth of July parade.
 The engine is manufactured by the American LaFrance Fire Engine Co.,, of Elmira, N. Y, the best:known manu- lecturers of fire apparatus in the country. The engine selected is of the hand drawn pattern, which, in it's mechanism, effectiveness and finish, is, in all es- sentials, the same as those mounted on auto running gear. It is & feet in length. stands 55 inches high and 45 inches wide equipped with a horizontal champion seamless cylinder of drawn steel, operated on trunnions, and mounted on two wheels. It has extra receptacles for the storage of chemicals and all the necessary facilities for re- charging the cylinder, which is of 45 gallons capacity. It is handsome ma chine, and was listed at $45O. with 8 liberal cash discount. .
 Among the accessories that come with the engine are 100 feet of hose, lanterns, axes and other requisite tools. f
 The money for the purchase of this machine was raised by popular sub scription, by Foreman A. J. Wiggles- worth, who has given up considerable of his time during the last week in the interest of the fire department, and who desires The News to extend thanks to those who so generously responded to h solicitations of financial assistance.
 It is proposed to give demonstration of the efficiency of tie chemical engine, which vii. at the same time afford the people spectacular Fourth of July ex- hibition, by operating it to extinguish 8 monster bonfire on the night of the Fourth. A temporary structure will be erected on some central spot, and filled with combustible material-kindling wood, etc., which will be set on fire. When the blaze has reached its height, the engine will be brought into requisi- tion and the chemicals liberated and directed against the flames. The quick ness with which the fire will be killed will be convincing dem onstration to the people, of the wisdom of having provided so valuable a protection.

FiREMEN CHASE SMOKE

Heroic Dash of Foreman and Comrade
 on False Alarm.
 Fire Chef Wigglesworth was touring the town in the automobile of the score tary of the fire department, Allyn Fuller, last Friday afternoon, looking after the condition of things generally within and without the limits of the fire district, and incidentally swelling the list of con- tributors to the chemical engine fund, in one place and another.
 On the homeward stretch of the tour, while the Chief and secretary-and the departments spiritual adviser who ooou- pied the rear seat-were going over Bragg street. the eagle eye of the Chief deteutedt dense volume of smoke going up, apparently a mile or more to the west. The secretary saw it too. h. stantlY the fire fighting instinct asserted itself ; the lust for rescue and valorous deeds took possession of both the official and active defenders of our homes and Hresides.
 "The fire fend is rampant I' exolaim- cd the Chief. "Throw 'er wide open, Allyn, and hasten to the scene"
 By Jimiuy !' replied Allyn, Looks as if it might be the boat-house-and I've got a launch in it." And he threw her into third, "turned on the gasoline and the machine made jump that keeled the spiritual adviser backward so that he balanced himself on his spinal column across the back of the seat, and was pre- vented from making it a complete somer, sault into the road only by the prompt ness of the Chief. who reached back. caught him by the heels and brought hlm down into the seat Meanwhile the auto was scooting down the back road, past Fred Gillette's, where it was plainly seen that the fire was on the other side of the rlver, and the boat house was safe. The smoke was still going up, in intermittent columns,
 It's fred Scamerhorn's bouse, !" said the Omef, We must get across, some way, and save some lives and things"
 The secretary halted the machine at the corner nearest the boat-house and led the way, on foot toward the river, in. tending to convey the rescue party across in his launch. Arriving at the boat house, pulling and dripping with perspir- ation, they got an unobstructed view of the opposite shore, and plaiRly discerned Scamerhorn's s h ouse, intact and unhurr, and the smoke curling upward some dIs. tance beyond it, on the side of the hill. AG that instant loud report was heard and the smoke rolled up ill increasing volume-and the answer was plain. Fred was blasting rocks, and the smoke Was caused by the heavy charges of powder. The official auto travelled at "a more moderate rate of speed, going pack.
