Many fashionable dressmal<ers take
with them an assistant. who receives
from one dollar to one dollar and half
q day and the same meals that dress
maker does. Her duties consist in doing
the detail work, as overcasting, making
buttonholcs, putting . velveteen facing
on or pocket in, etc, while the profess
sional sewer cuts, fitA bastes and
stitches It is only in the city where
such assistants flourish, as in small
towns one does it all, with or without
any help from the family for which she
is sewing. The assistant goes to the
kitchen to do the pressing and in fact
does what the dressmaker could. but
will not do, while tho latter does what
the assistant would but could not ac-
complish. Where there 10 . regular
seving-room furnished with gxs, there
are many little contrivances to be had
that fastcn on the gas jet over which
dressmahcr's iron could be heated An
other convenience for the Grcssmaking
department is an ironing board curved
and pointed so that any bodice or sleeve
may be ironed in its proper shape over
it II one has the money to spend for
all of the articles gotten up to make
sewing easy. from dress system down
to peculiar eyed needle. they can soon
make . collection that, like Toodle's
coffin. may, ''come in handy some day"

and dusty shells testify to past con-
quests
| One Sunday morning when church
goers were just beginning to pass q big
black beetle was seen slowly crossing
the sidewalk. 1t approached the build
ing and gained . spot directly beneath
the web There it stopped. The spider
aloft, though amazed at such evident
recklessness, soon recovered With IN
eye to business 1t descended and wove a
soft, silky skein about the unsuspecting
insect
Then the spider ascended and by al
most infinitesimal degrees began to
draw the beetle upward. It was hard
work but At length height of six inches
was gained. Then q struggle com.
menced. Tho beetle, swinging round
and round. fought furiously and WINS
soon nearly loose Only two of its legs
were now fastened and the beetle strove
with all its remaining strength to release
them. But it fought against fate-the
soft cord OF the enemy above was too
securely tied.
Meanwhile q small crowd had gath
cred. A tall, thin man who wore spec
taclcs was the first one to notice the In
sects He was Joined by . fat man and
he in turn by two messenger boys, who
instantly became interested and forgot
all about necessary haste. The onloo!S-
ers increased by twos and thrces
and soon there were fifty people
watching the contest Even the police
man on the block below, who, scenting
. drunk" had hastened up, joined in
the general excitement.
The beetle was now growing weaker
every moment As its struggles relaxed
the spider came down and fastened q
new thread to its body. Just rs every.
ono thought It was all over a small gale
of wind swept down the avenue. The
frail fabric which held the beetle
swayed and shook. and then parted,
leaving the insect hanging by one
thread. The spider seemed aghast for
. moment at this new agent and then
redoub.ed its Efforts Bat the beetle
was game and fought with renewed en-
ergy. Things became exciting and the
crowd jostled one another for q good
view.
"Hully gecr' observed one of the
boys, with his mouth full Of
caramels ''Dis is better den Miners"

But the brief respite granted the
beetle was soon over. Its motions be. !

spider descended triumphantly and fas-
tened the beetle securely.
The tragedy was over The crowd
separated and moved on. The fat man
took out his watch.

but eatables are sparingly dealt out,
and not one OF the companies have as
yet had sufficient for one meal. Where
the trouble is has not been discovered,
but II not found out pretty soon some
hard kicking will be heard. As kick
ing generally brings the desired object,
the companies are getting themselves
In trim. General, II you expect your
soldiers to work, you must feed them
well.
Quite a rivalry exists between the
two regimental bands. Both claim the
honor Of being the best.
Capt. w. II. Banks, OF Company ],
Second Regiment. has been temporarily
assigned to command the First Bat
TALON.
A big kick was made in camp by the
transferring Of Company B, OF the Sec
ond Regiment, to ill the battalion in
the First. The change is, however,
only q temporary ono.
The guard tent Of the Second Regi-
ment is situated at the southeast end OF
the grounds, and those OF the First
Regiment at the northwest end, thus
guarding thoroughly both approaches
to the grounds. Half hours are called
during the evening, beginning az 1920.
An order has been issued by General
Spilman prohibiting the beating of
drums during the encampment. This
order gives satisfaction, for when the
companies are on drill the sound OF the
drums is so confusing that the com
panies who have none are almost IN
able to drill.
Both regiments will be inspected on
Sunday by their respective %colonels,
and the companies are getting ready TO
make a good appearance. The Sunday
services will be held on the grounds,
and an address will be delivered by the
Chaplain. Not many drills will be held
on that day, and the soldiers will have
most Of the time TO themselves.
The youngest member Of the Ma
tional Guard is Drummer Elliott Nav
ter, Of Company e, Second Regiment,
which is stationed at Ansted. He Is IL
years OF age, and a bright soldier boy.
He makes a far better appearance than
some soldiers that are a great deal
older. He is the pride Of the camp.
Games Of various kinds are stationed
at the outskirts Of the camp and are
pretty well patronized. One stationed
near the hotel is probably the best
patronized. 1t is conducted by a color
ed gentleman who allows three balls to
thrown at his head for only five cents.
II the thrower is fortunate and strikes
the darkey he secures a prize.
A number Of the ~privates are success
fully working q slick scheme 10 escape
from camp. They will go to the cooks
and be requested to be detailed to Sc
cure water. They then take a bucket
! and start for the spring. Fortunately
for them IL Is situated near the boat
landing and when they disappear over
the bank they hide the bucket In the
bushes, jump on board the boat and "a
to Charleston. When they return, the
buckets are secured, filled with water
and they return unmolested. The mat
ter has been reported and from now on
will be stopped. Other schemes will
then be devised.

CAMP KENNA, KANAwHA CITY, w.
VA, September 30.-It is exceedingly
unpleasant in camp in the early part OF
the day. The dew hangs o7er the
camp; everything is damp and cold; the
welcome RAYS of the sun is hid by the
m,ny hills that surround the camp on
every side; the fires are slow In burning
and In fact many things comoineito
make the surroundings uninvlting.
But about nine o'clock the dew dls-
appears, the sun at last creeps over the
hills like q mighty ball OF fire spreading
it's warming rays throughout the Valley,
the camp fires begin to burn, everybody
is busy with their respective duties,
then it is that camp life has its charms
and its glories.
The boys have just commenced to
enjoy the life Of a soldier while In
camp. OF course, they have duties,
some very arduous ones, TO perform out
they do all Of them faithfully and well.
The boys have nothing to complain OF
and are taking things as they come.
Guard mounting, which is the most
important occurrence during the mora
ing, is performed at 9:15. At this time
guards for the next tw%enty-four hours
are placed around the camp, being d.
vided into ~reliefs. They have two
hours guard duty to perform, after
which they are allowed a rest OF four
hours, when they are again put on
guard. This arrangement is carried
