The men Of Company B, Third Battalion
feel that they are on the sure road to being
classed as veterans. Some of them, at least,
feel old enough. The march to Glen Echo
and back was success, taking il all In all,
but some of the boys did not have enough to
eat. 1t was all their own fault; a soldier
should be able to husband his own resources,
but some of Company B did not. They pitched
right in and ate up everything in sight Sat-
urday night. and on Sunday the wiser men
ha ! to share with their comrades
Lieut. Mattinsly in command the company,
twenty-four strong, stepped out briskly from
their armory at o'clock Saturday night, In
heavy marching order. One stop was made
at Rock Creek Bridge for provisions. Then
the seven-mile march was resumed and Glen
Echo was reached at IL o'clock. The inten-
tion had been to occupy the amphitheater,
but it was closed, and nothing was left but d
camp in the OPEN air. Camp-iires were built,
guard mounted, and the boys began to pre-
pare for the night. number OF cross-ties
were utilized and a rough floor made which
was covered with rubber blankets. and on
such "a bed the night was spent Every ona
declares he slept well, but not one was sorry
when reveille was sounded.
A sKIRMisH DRILL.
After guard mounting a skirmish drill was
held. during which Private Mackey was ba;ily
injured. One OF the skirmishers having run
out of ammunition dubbed his musket to
protect himself, and used it on the head Of
his nearest enemy, Private Mackey. The
wound came near proving a serious one
Mackey was unable to take part in any more
of the exercises. In the afternoon the camp
was surprised ana captured by. Troop A, and
the services of DR.. Verdi, of the Ambulance
Corps, were found necessary.
After an amicabe settlement between the
troop and Company B, the cavalry men rode
off. and the company (being divded) bat
TALON drill WAS held. At 3.45 the march
home was commenced, this time in light
marching order, and the armory was reached
at clock. Lieut.. Mattingly was accom-
panied by Adiutant Mock, OF the Fifth Bat
talon. and the latter officer was much
pleased. It is said Capt. Sayers. o: the same

Reason Enough.

When one leaves the main lines of railroads,
East or West, and travels, or tries to travel,
on some road which merely serves a local
purpose he is likely to find prevailing free
and-easy state of things as regards speed and
schedule time. A Wyoming newspaper gives
this account Of a certain railroad flyer" out
that way:
People never take this train except for jour-
neys Of considerable length. Walking is as
easy and much safer for short distances On
a recent occasion, when the movement Of the
train was even more deliberate than usual, a
passenger went to the conductor and said:
''Ain't we going pretty siow2
"WelI." said the conductor, ''we amt flying,
I'll admit
'sMay ask what is the trouble, then?"
''Ain't any trouble"
'.Then why don't we go faster?''
'.WeIl, I'll tell you, since you seem to be so
inquisitive. Back here a piece we found O
fine two-year- old steer stuck in the trestle and
we stopped and helped him out. Now, the
rules of the road are that in such cases the
animal belongs to the company"

NATURE LOVE DISAPPOINTED.
Welded on Thanksgiving Eve at the Age
of 80, He Now Seeks Divorce

or SO, He NOW seeks Divorce.
KoKoMo,. Dec. 20.-A romantic marriage
that took place here Thanksgiving eve bids
fair to eliminate in the wreck of the matri-
monial bark. The principals to the wedding
were Charles Moore, a wealthy Monroe
county farmer, aged eighty years, and Mrs.
Amanda Pierce, OF this place. aged sixty-fcur
They have not lived together since the cere-
mony, and the groom has applied for a
divorce.
The couple in early childhood were lovers,
high spirited, strong willed, and stubborn. a
characteristic that remains with them yet to
remarkable degree. A lovers quarrel and
separation by removal threw their lives in
different paths. Both married other COM
panions reared large families. and accumu-
lated a goodly share of this worlds goods in
the half century that has since passed. A
few years ago their consorts were removed
by death. Later the loners of fifty years ago
met again. The cid flame was rekindled and
it eliminated in wedding, the ceremony
being at the home of the bride in this city
Thanksgiving eve.
The nuptiais ovNr, the venerable groom re-
turned to his / ,200-acre farm near Blooming
ton, and the bride began packing her goods
to follow. Then she changed her mind. She
concluded that it was not the proper thing
for her to leave her children and grandchil-
dren so far away, and informed the groom
that he must come to Kokomo and live with
her. This turn of affairs did not suit Mr..
Moore. He had the household all prepared
for its new mistress, and contended that he
could not afford to comply with her request;
that his business interests would suffer thereby
and finally informed her that if she wanted to
live with him she must come to his home.
The bride refused to comply, and the piqued
groom brought matters to a focus yesterday

county ycourts.-1ndianapoli Sentinel.

At the last regular drill Of the Fifth Battai-
lon, Major Suess added thereto the ceremony
OF guard mount. Instead OF marching on
several details consecutively, whole COM
pany was used as one detail, being marched
onto the line by the flank. The detail was
not inspected at the assembly call as pre-
scribed In Par. 712 The acting sergeant
major in opening ranks omitted to verify the
line OF first sergeants. The officer OF the
guard stationed himself two PAGES instead of
three in front OF the center OF the guard when
first taking post. At ''off1cer and non-com-

Football Salaries In England.

Some of the welI-known clubs keep the
salary list secret, but so far as is known the
distinction of paying the highest retaining fee
belongs to Eyerton Football Club, which, in

burn Kovers to join their club, agreed to pay
him E250 down and f5 week. The Suther-
land club ID not far behind, and to secure
