intruder all around the eneampment while
the privileged eyes of tie many are closed
in slumber. And 1t is neither an unkind
nor a biased criticism that compels the
statement that the militia sentrles have been
entirely too much disposed TO bungle in
their challenges at night and triile on their
walks by day. \ sentry with pipe in his
mouth does not look well. Neither is Il
edifyIng to see sentry by day laughing and
'joshing" on his rounds. Ii is a matter OF
gossip in one part of the camp that on Sun
day night sentry permitted a bandsman TO
take his musket from him Just to show him
how TO hold it." OF course as soon as these
things become known the officers hasten 10
reetity them, and IL is thus that there is a
steady improvement In all branches of
camp service. Rome was not built in a day

1t is a good sign of the spirit of the Ma
tonal Guard this year that there is ten

very unsoldierlike. Busters Headquar-
ters, THE RazZle DazZles," The Dandy

TO masquerade than to a military camp,

SANTA CRUZ Camp Columbusl, Aug. o.
The encampment may now be said to be In
good order in every respect. and the men
have learned more of real military work Ia
the last as hours than in years OF harraek-
room drill and street parades. They are
brigaded with regular troops, and once the
concet is knocked out Of militiaman he
becomes the model OF military student.
All day yesterday and all the hours of this
morning that could be spared from drill
were devoted by the militia boys to watch
ing the movements of the regulars. To see
a regular salute an officer in proper style
was alone an object lesson for them; the
whole of the movements executed with
snap and precision that sent the observers
speedily back to their tents to see if they
couldn't do the thing the same way.

be larger than last year. or the great
wheat growing states South Dakota Is
the only one which promises large crop,
and the acreage is 40.6 per cent. larger
than II was last year. In Minnesota only
third Of the wheat has been sown.
and although the acreage is 10 per cent.
larger than last. the weeks Of cold rain
have made the prospects Of harvest far

prevailed in Wisconsin ia less degree,
