given and Troop A, as an organization, is

ering the small number who participated,
it was very good, but the attendance was
very small.

liberal patronage from the best citizens
during his sojourn here. AS photogra-
pher he has had unbounded success and
in high grade work ranks among the best
in the state. Mr.. Bushnell during his

an exemplary young man and has won

parture and extend to him their best
wishes for success in his new field OF la

The Treasurer's office seems to be in a
peck o trouble these days. The silver
tongued vocalist, Ed. Kelso, and the COL
den-voiced Donovan are down on the
bills for the performance in behalf of
Troop A at Mason's and their duties will
not permit them to oblige their numerous
admirers-male and female-to appear
in public on the stage. The chief of the
force is likewise in trouble, and all be-
cause Matt Blrtholet's little Jersey COW
will roam around of nights and run afoul
of cabbage heads. Matt thinks that cab
bage- heads which don't know enough to
keep out OF the back alleys deserve all
they get, and he is in doubt about liqui-
dating damages therefor, except at the
"tail end" Of lawsuit. The diagram to
this proposition will be explained in the
Treasurer's Office.
