in q Just cause, assembled at the court
house to attend the Camp Fire or re-

these old comrades present WITH their
wives and very many invited guests,

beautifully worded address babe the
comrades and their friends welcome
and invited all to participate in the
| pleasures to be found at the camp
fire.
A camp. yarn by Comrade jerks,
gave sketches of q $50 mile march
from the interior Of Ark .nsaw to
| Helena, Arkansas, where the men
had q running fight or collision with
the enemy every day. The sketches
we're but a reheJsal of some of the
bloody scenes and daring acts wit
nessed during the. war and was higp-
ly inter. sting.
C4mrade Lockley. followed Ia a
description OF picket life at the front,
giving to those present an lncidenl
rep:ete with interest. -.
Comrade Dolman amused all those
present with q humorous story, illus
trating by word the merry, happy

rary relaxation from its stern duties
gave q breathing spell to the tired,
worn sons of war;.
Comrade E. L. Holmes recited.
Sheridan's Ride in a very impressive
manner.
Another wal incident and the reci-
tation of 1.-THE Blue and Gray" by
Comrade Page were listened to with
attention. :,
The comrades and their friends
then Gro ,sed to tue banquet hall, and
while supper was being prepared q
surprise on Picket" was enacted,
The soldiers were In the background,
where the guards were at rest with
arms stacked, when a rebel soldier
entered and surprised a picket, who
had rested bis gun against a tree and
was engaged In reading q letter from
home. The Confederate rushed upon
the unwary picket and demanded
his surrender, when the latter sprang
to his feet, drew his sword and en-
tered into combat with his foe. The
alarm. was gwen, the long roll sound
ed, aud t5e troops sprang to arms;
butthe fed" was captured and led
away to the rear.
After this episode the call for sup
per was made and the tables were
soon crowded by the ladies, children
and invited guests, who partook of a
repast entirely out of keeping with
a soldiers mess. The tables were
bountifully loaded with rare and
choice yiands never seen by
the soldier in the front,
but nevertheless heartily enjoyed.
After the supper the band played
many airs and made the life of the
solditr lat home) more pleasant.
The camp fire was the first Q
built in Montana and those present
were satisfied and are now praying
for a renewal every week instead Of
once q year.
