soon touch the latch strings OF her
happy home.
Mrs. We'll was born in Opelousas,
and during her girlhood and young

beautiful and engaging member
of Opelousas society. Replete with
life and humor, cheerful ana
tactful, she drew around her a
host of admirers who Wed with
each other for her favors. 1t was
the happy lot, however, OF a
splendid and worthy Alexandrian
TO win the lasting favors OF TINS
beautiful young woman. After her
marriage with Mr.. We'll she resided
at Alexandria continuously up to her
death, occasionally visiting her
relatives and friends here, but
those of us who knew and loved
her never forgot the charm OF
manner and engaging personality
she possessed. Mrs. We'll leaves a

suberbs of this city, his residence
was on fire In less time than it
takes to tell it, those daring boys
were on the scene as if by magic,
that soon, they were perehed on the
roof putting up a fight that would
make a german worrier blush with
shame. BY some incomprensive
cause or other after the fire was
long extinguished and the boys had
run down the ladder, a roll call was
made, by Chef Brown and three of
his men failed to answer to their
names. Upon a close investigation
it was found that DR.. Buster" who
was safely on the roof was having
a battle royal with "Delin Duro who
was entrenched inside the roof, the
weapons used were not the famous
German Howitzer nor the deadly
poisonous gases, but with fire ex-
tinguishing chemicals while Price
was referee. Upon hearing the call
Of foul the referee, who looked
asleep, woke and foud 1DeIinr had
got hit in the eyes with the fluir
he at once handed the Grip a
can of "suds', what we mean is
that it was water, and disqualified
the DR., and awarded Duroi the
AK to bring for him, the referee,
to the wagon. sDelin is now making
a demand on the Doctor to recover
his golden locks lost in the con-
flick.
Opelousas ought to be proud of
her Fire Department and the Fire
Boys ought to be congratulated in
the fine work performed, without
the assistance of the city water,
they have so successfully extin-
guished a devouring fire.
