CAMP LIFE.
One of the first requisites of the vera
ciouS historian is an engaging candor.
1t follows from this that the
GLOBE reporter cannot repeat the COM
mon statement that Camp Hubbard is ''ten
minutes walk from the DEPOT On DAYS so
/ torrd as summer is now indulging in. the
! wise man arriving in the morning would
make the walk consume about a day Be-
cause, as the poetess says, he would find a
shady spot land there till the cool of the
evening, till the lighting of Hesperus stay"
However, the distance is immaterial. New
, Ulm is full of farm wagons and other We
hicles on whose sides appears the legend
Ito Camp Hubbard, 10 cents" The
GLOBE man marked 10 cents to Expenses
and went out in wagon. There are so
many strange, unintelligible things about a
military camp that, like man who has in
choice an embarrassment of good moves
on chess board or an embarrass-
lnent of wealthy heiresses. one knows
not where to begin. Camp Hubbard is sit
uated on plateau WHICH in extent would
probably seem to European to be one of our
''boundless prairies." A great improve
ment on the location at White Bear, the site
here is well turfed. The rifle range is level
and as distances go in the Northwest, con-
Venlently accessible. Being large. the
ground at Camp Hubbard gives opportunity
for
SIMULTANEOUS DRILLS,

side toward town, cavalry drill On the
opposite side and rifle practice under the
shadow of the bluffs. the whole scene is a
vast and stirring panorama. But the
weather is hot-tonjours il fait chand-and
the newspaper men trudging over the turf
from one extremity of the plateau to an
other become sad and weary, and they
wish that they were dead and the wheels
were rolling over their head. Shakespeare
speaks enthusiastically of the wiles and

that the United States regular soldier pos

der looks at the pretty young lady visitors
and deceives himself into the absurd and
perfectly rational belief that they have also
looked at him. When one sees a soldier
with his cap at an angle of forty five de-
grees it is because he wrongly imagines that
his good fortune can be expressed by no
smaller angle. 1t is well known and
Widely-lamented fact that
THE PRETTY VISITORS
