DR.. HUlDEkOPER.
Mr.. Dooley, the Humorist of the Chicago Journ.
al, Pays His Respects to Chickamaug-
as Surgeon General.

The appointment Of DR.. Huidekoper,
horse doctor, to be chief of the medi-
cal staff of the First army corps at Chick
amauga was surprise to the whole
country. ~ s.~E
The results of that appointment were
just what might have been expected.
Huidekoper was undoubtedly CON-
potent veterinarian, but, aside from his
wealth, there was nothing to recommend
his appointment to the responsible po-
sition of head surgeon of an army corps,
entrusted with the care of nearly thirty
thousand men.
The following article from the Chica-
go Journal handles him and the men
who made him chief of the medical staff
in the proper manner. Mr.. Dooley says:
""Twas this way about DR.. Hucken-
looper," said Mr.. Dooley. ''Mack has
