Hereafter the boys will rut in about six
hours day. There will be more squad drill
than there has been heretofore, and less COM

at the prospect of the extra hour, and Most
of them are willing to take more, but Col
Shandrew does not want to get them sui-
ened up nor have any sore muscles ann S
them. AS they harden up, II they visa 70

through company drill Capt. Finehout turned
the company over to him. The commandment
put them through company movements for
some time, and as he returned the company
to Capt. Finehout he said that they we're
| one of the finest looking companies he had
ever seen, and that the showing they haa
made in short a time was wonderful.

OF splendid soldiers in his time. 1t was IL, me

| COMFORT IN THE HOSPITALS.
! An air of comfort pervades the regimental
hospital. 1t is so situated that it catches any
and all of the breeze that blows through the
of surgical appliances and medicines and is
prepared to handle any kind of a case that
| may present itself to his care. His assistants
| seem to be the proper men for the place.
Everything that can be done for the comfort
OF the ailing is sure to be done by them.
| The health of the Fifteenth is remarkably
| good. There were six patients in the hos
pital yesterday, all Of them minor ailments.
