WHORE THE TROUDIE LAY.

WHERE THE TROUBLE LAY.
Some days ago three members Of
Company II, FIRST Delaware Regiment,
obtained permission to go to Woodland
Beach for the day, and In this connec-
tion the Wayfarer hears funny story
which affects three officers prominent
In the regiment.
Girls love blue and gold, with brave
young fellows wearing them, and the
boys had not been on the beach long
before each had a girl to make love to-
The boys would not tell the girls their
names, but one of the girls obtained
possession OF one OF the passes upon
which appeared the names OF Colonel
ickersham, Adjutant Dunn and Cap
tain Rogers. Not knowing anything
about military procedure, camp regula-
tions or shoulder straps, she concluded
tnat the names on the pass were those
OF the three privates. She said moth
ing but slyly copied them. Towards
evening the party separated and the
boys returned TO camp. In a day oi

terms OF affection and endearment

to "Mr. Dunn" and the third to "Mr
Rogers" Each officer received his let

Wickersham, Adiutant Damn and Cap

they had never invited such a CORE
spondence or done anything whicl
could possibly have been misconstruel
into such an invitation. If the thre
boys really want to know what tende
feelings they invoked in the hearts o
the three girls, the Wayfarer woul

very few persons who take these i'm

They are chilly when the weather
changes and Immediately seek out an
oyercoat. a jacket, a scarf or muf-
fer. The shoulder cape comes into use
and the feather boa or wrap that is
pulled up close about the neck and COW
ers the chest This Is precisely ,he
region that needs the least protection
In these changes H. instead of this.

too much wrapping around the body
create congestion and pave the way tor

method is to give the throat, chest and
arms a dash of cold salt and water
every morning upon rising An en-
tire sponge bath OF this sort is of great
advantage. bnt this treatment OF the

TO- pntting in a branch off e In this

In the instructions Mr.. Patterson has

toned not TO take any risks farther
west than the 9sth meridian, and not
closer than twenty-five miles OF an In
dian reservation
Mr.. Patterson is at a loss 20 know
the meaning or reason for these iu-
structions, but thinks perhaps that the
doctor is afraid TO 20 farther west or
nearer 6n Indian reservation for fear
of an outbreak This Is very amusing
to people who know this part OF the
west and are acquainted with the fact
that the Indians are too fat and lazy to
be scared into fight.
To follow this rule laid down by the
medical director would almost shut

deceSned, was member OF the order
of Woodmen OF the World-a false inn
preston. Deceased was a member of
the order of Modern WoodmeD, a fra
ternAl Insurance society having no or
Cauization IN this territory. This err
roneous impression and the fact that
Guthrie Camp No. 3, Woodmen of the
World, did not attend the funeral in a
body has subj scted the camp to unde
served censure. In the event Of the
death of a brother sovereign every
Woodman of the World of this city
will be true to his obligation-pay the

ceased brother and endeavor TO com

II cannot be too frequently repeated
