as happy as soldiers could be
For they knew the success of the day was
alone due TO gallant old Company ID. -

and as usual they did IL up right;
With never a murmur of dIscoStent
through the silent hours OF night,
But Private Clay the editor whom the ladies
all adore,
Caught cold IN his whiskers one night on
post so he couldn't stand guard any
So they put him high up in the tower to
watch where the zePhyrs are frisEy and
And the little winds had big picnic
that night with the whiskers of Editor
Clay,
And when the boys heard the reb leaders
were jailed and the others had all taken

old Camp Wilder that night,
And there Doc McDaniels sang Rocked in
the Deep and There Goes McManus

But he gave way to Burnett and Drum

But We still have Josh our funny man to

With his many trips OF flights on land and
exploits on the sea
But Josh has q soldiers talents too and at
every call you'll see
Our Jovial Josh come to the front in the
ranks of Company 3D."
Toastmaster Ashley thought that
the song Aloha De, played by the
band and sung by all hands, was so
good that an additional piece of music
would not be amiss. Accordingly, he
called on Private Clarke, who sang
his far-famed original version of A
Spanish Cavalier, which was rendered
in a continual crescendo, followed by
a very rapid diminuendo. A hearty
encore resulted, but no response was

Oy every one in the house. Three
cheers were then given for the Presi-
