Camp Alger, Va, July %, 1898.
II had good home and left it,"
was all the hospital corps recruits
heard as they tramped four abreast
along Virginia miles in the middle of
dusty road, the MONDAY sun beating
fiercely down upon them. And where
are you from?" This latter question
was put so often that one fellow an
swered, 1--WE don't know" and quickly
came the answer, They'll show you
when you get over there" And so
they did. Three men were overcome
by the heat. but are all right now.
The boys seem to think that hard
tack and SOW belly are great stuff now,
but they are mixing them with soda
water and cake purshased at the num-
erous stores on the camp ground, ap-
propriately termed "The Midway"
where anything from suit of clothes
70 tooth pick can be purchased. and
at reasonable prices. No war prices
have vet made their appearance.
AS Tobe Hamilton came by crowd
of old timers, one Of them reached out
and tapped his high collar, and then
the whole crowd yelled and whooped.
And they offered the recruits there
sympathy and l am sure they meant 1t
when they said they would gladly be
home again.
Camp life is very interesting for
awhile. The bands play. horsemen gal
lop vArough the camp streets, the mu-
scum proprietors are shouting their
story, and from the outside of the mu-
scum tent can be heard the cracked
voice of one, evidently a souberette,
singing patriotoc songs and then the
hearty encores. Then the dress par
ade at 600 p. m. is grand and in
tresting sight, but in less than a
month this will grow very monoton-
GUS and the soldiers will wish for the
quiet Of Marietta Of which they have
so often joked.
But it's too late now and there will
be lots of fun in camp when the boys
of the hospital corps begin to dig
trenches. Last night the boys were
scattered everywhere to sleep where
ever place could be made but in a few
days they will get their uniforms and
their own tents and their own work,
and soldier life will begin.
The hospital corps will be moved
soon to Dunn Loring Camp, as the lat
ter place is supposed to be great deal
healthier. NYE.

a sail, and away the whole party goes,
kept in one direction by two or three
older squirrels who act as whippers-
in. The turning of the tails to the
right or left directs their course, just
as the sails Of schooner are trimmed to
her course. When the skaters decide
they have had enough exercise they
run their queer barks on the bank
where they desire to land, and in a
few seconds the whole crowd are chasing
away at the edge of the ice. Veracious
mountaineers aver that the squirrels
sometimes hold yachting races. Two
or three champions select their pieces
of bark with unusual care, and go over
them with the utmost care, biting away
with their sharp teeth any little ex-
crecences upon the bark so as to make
them as smooth as possible. Then upon
the ice there is high excitement among
the "dead-game sports" of squirrel
dom, and they-so these veracious
hunters say-promptly wager upon the
result their choicest stores Of carefully
boarded nuts. When the race Is sailed

BULL MOOSE AT BAY.
An Adventure That Came Near @8d-
Ing Ina q Catastrophe.

A correspondent, writing from Me-
cunoma, Muskoka, gives an interesting
account of an adventure which he had
with a moose few weeks ago. while
employed in making toboggan trail
through one of the pine forests in that
section of the country. While engaged
at work he came across a moose yard,
and on looking round saw one of the
giants of the forest" about 30 yards
distant. The story of his encounter is,
perhaps, best told in the correspond
ents' own words:
"After a moment" he writes, 1.-THE
moose turned and walked behind hill,
which, though not high, was steep. I
ran to the top with all speed, hoping
to get view of the lordly creature as
he made his way through the bush.
l could not see him at first, but, on
looking down the steep incline, there
he was, not ten yards away. He turned
to make off, but, striking his ribs
against the projecting limb of small
hemlock. be was thrown down and
round the tree, and as he rose he faced
me.
"It was now my turn to run, for the
moose charged at me, expressing his
rage by fierce below. In turning I
stumbled, the ground being very un-
even, and his feet nearly came down
on me as lodged among some trees.

only weapon had, but did not succeed
in injurng my pursuer. Withscme diff
fcuty at last got out into the deep
snow, where my snowshoes were of more
use to me. The moose still pursued me,
roaring at intervals, and one who has
not heard a moose roar can form but
little idea of the terrible believing
noise. After several attempts IN strike
me with his front feet, he stopped and
stood about 20 yards away, paving and
roaring. | eagerly seized this opportu-
nifty to climb tree. and soon after
the animal turned and made off OF
all my adventures in the bush. and they
