CAMP THOMAS, Ca, July 27.-Trumpeter
Burgess is on duty again.
Corporal Peters and Private Beverly took
little stroll down to the Chickamauga river
the other night to do little frst-class lacn-
cry cry work at less than half price. They were
nan through with their task when something
tey tell it to the boys: I'VE were washing
our clothes and were about half through
When something made a noise loud enough
TO scare one or dozen of Gabriel's angels
TO death anyway, it startled us so we didn't
stop to finish our toilet. We just made
pee pee line for camp, with Beverly in the lead
ana we made the dust fly. We're going to
turn out the regiment tonight and look into
matters; Every time Corporal Peters took
a as, s.eP ne m. made rasping, noise in stepping
over the high bumps that he ran against and
ffIyete Beverly thought it was that darned
wildcat getting nearer each time. When they
nsu got themselves under control from the
camp they We're half mile the other side
OF the Fifth Pennsylvania troops. Anyhow,
l lne poys nave their think SO, even If they
olo change their say SO.
Pr4f koehne, the barber, continues to do
rushing business. He in some mysterious
way slightly sprained his ankle and was de-
the quarters he slowed away in his panta-
looms. One thing is evident, his work is far
superior TO any one else we have seen in
trade, too: There are number of would
pes" in the camp but they wouldn't hold a
}o6 as hrst,elass butcher and they only draw
halr as much fee as the professor
Corporal McKittrick was chief of police
today.
Private !schwear has begun action against
Prof Koehne, for he says he cut his nous
tache off, and he didn't tell him to-
While on food duty at Lyle, Corporal Her
r ria thought he would like to have people
Sate in the rear rank and last set of tours.
So as soon as he was off duty he made
ao1ble e. u! for the, first military tailor,
stripes and chevrons were sewed on He
didn't wait long, when the tailor completed
the 1ob, and Corporal Herrian stood up with
ms ms UNIFORM on as proud as little six-year-
old boy with new pair of red top boots
with prass tips on the toes. He was standing
In front OF a mirror admiring those stripes
when " O. the tailor told him the bill would be
S2.25 Well, as the corporal told us, the floor
e T,l have let him through any too soon:
have cost him rs cents If he had waited till
ne returned to our regiment When he re-
turned to the company camp he wasn't half
SO independent and proud as Heretofore.
Inc warrants have been issued to the new
corporals and now the privates have to get
up IN tree In order to talk to t, them them
vows and if 1t wasn't for taps they wouldn't
have quit before revelie.-
sudden rain came up the other day
and stopped several games of =.
1t takes Corporal Fre.in to interest the boys.
He can often be seen out under a large tree
after drill with a group of the boys listen
ing to him telling where he has been and
the experiences there. Mr.. Frelin was born
in France, and has Travelled all over Europe
and the United States, and speaks five differ
ent languages very fluenty. We have heard
great deal from the genial corporal, as we
attended school with him for several years at
the state normal at Mankato. MINI.
