Shortly after leaving the bay. an
individual by the name of seasickness
came aboard and had lots of fun with
several of the Guards. He compelled
many of them to donate their supper
to the fishes. The boys did not like
his acquaintance. Later, after break
fast, he introduced himself to Others
and forced them to part with their
breakfasts. Captain Stewart, after
observing one of them cast his break
fast into the lake, remarked "That
is poor plan to spend the States
grub. That breakfast that is going
overheard, cost the State thirty cents. y
Those who obtained berths found
the rolling Of the Arundel not dis.
agreeable. She rolls easily and with.
out disagreeable jerks.
A short landing was made at Har.
risville and Oscoda on the way down,
and passengers allowed to get off. AT
Oscoda, one of Ayers RATS had just
gone to pieces and the logs were scat
tered about the lake.
The run in Saginaw Bay was
pleasant. The sea was high, but the
Arundel was running with the waves
and rode them easily. At twelve
o'clock the Arundel arrived at the
railroad landing. Two passenger and
one baggage car were within thirty
feet of the steamer, so the transfer
was easily made. The Arundel was
a little less than ten hours in making
the trip between Alpena and Bay
City.
Saginaw was reached few minutes
after one o'clock. The Guards were
there joined by the two Saginaw COM
panies, the Bay City and Manistee
companies and the regimental band.
The train now consisted Of eleven pas
senger and three freight cars. Left
Saginaw at 2:05. AT Flint, the COM
pany at that city joined. Rain was
falling at the time quite heavily.
Some of the soldiers took stroll up
town. The train started, and there
was lively race by the boys on the
street. Good time was made; no one
was left, but the time was not as good
as that made by the Tribune man
from Alger to Alpena. u
The rest of the journey to camp
was pleasant, and at 1925 2. NJ. the
Guards were seated in their mess tent
partaking of bounteous supper, with
a relish they had not felt for months.
The company have two tents for
the officers, ten tents for the pri-
Yates, one mess tent and cook shanty.
The tents hold five men each, are of
the wall shape variety, have board
floors. A small amount of straw is
spread OH the boards, making, with
blankets, the beds. The third regi-
ment has ten companies and 10 tents
for the men. These tents are arranged
so that each company's tents form a

and says they do not have cold weather

shoot him ms a liar. Those who have
overcoats wear them at night and

What a word to this great
American people-what an
immense field it covers-what
brain-work, what sums Of
money are expended at its
command-aye, blood has
even been shed and human life
sacrificed at it's royal behest.
The greater the degree of
civilization the more intricate
and complex the laws govern
ing it. The greatest minds Of
the world are puzzled over
tariffs and exchanges. With
the savage it's plain matter
here's one and there's the other,
and to many minds his is the
better mode-it cuts off the
vast army of middleworkers
simplities intricacies, closes
every transaction and fixes at
once the loss and gain.
What has all this to do with
country store keeping-only
this-the smaller transaction
illustrates the larger-the same
laws and impulses apply. The
strife is for the profit-for the
gain. And how far would
cupidity go but for competition
and sometimes that confounds
itselt-too much of good
thing. But the country store
keeper is the man we want to
put torward-that's our bust
ness-proht is our object
legitimate profit fair to the
buyer-fair to the seller-our
living is in it. But we are not
hard to satisty-the merchant
price is too far in the distance
we can't see him-our am
bition is to make a decent liv-
ing by honest trading, and to
that end we offer you every
inducement, to trade with us.
