Judge A. c. Baker, well known

that such gold men as Baker and

| 4 Clerk Abe Lafever has overruled the !
4 board Of supervisors in the matter of !
4 the county printing for 1898. The board 1
4 Of supervisorsordered their clerk TO di-
4 vide the county printing between the 4
+ two Kingman papers. Said clerk in
4 formed us in the presence of several
4 parties that he hes already turned away
4 from this Office $50 worth OF work, and 4
4 that he intends in the future to give us 4
4 the cold hand. The reason for this ac- 4
4 ton by the said clerk is that our Min 4

4 entirely meets with his approval. Abe, 4
4 We are afraid you have been taking les 4

4 with pie from his patronage counter and 4
4 you would be as big man as Hanna as 4

The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1898-10-27

The object of battle is to reduce the
ranks of the enemy. Some of our boys
used to think they could do it by shoot
in into the ground Or up among the
tree-tops, but it was lead thrown away.
It's good idea to have an eye en- some
one in front when you pull trigger.
Don't make the mistake of thinkin'
there is anything personal about bat
tie. The enemy may have heard of you,
and he may be mad enough to eat you
up; but he hasn't gone to the trouble of
massin' $4,000 men at one spot in order
to be revenged on you alone. There
were three or four men in my company
who used to imagine that Gen. Lee had
maneuvered for three months to bring
off battle and wipe them off the face
of the earth, and it was such a night
mare to them that they didn't enjoy
their rations or the music of the reki-
mental band.
1t will come hard at first to turn cut
at sunrise. turn in at nine o'clock in
the evening, and to cook, wash, march,
drill. fight and obey orders; but after
a month of it you'll feel as much at
home as a coon in holler tree. You
won't have to buy any theater tickets,
pay for any dinners Or suffer any cham
pagne headaches. The chap who stays
at home will worry more over the
creases in his trousers than you will
about gettin' shot.
The day l left home my father tool,
me by the hand and said:
Joe, hever turn your back on the
enemy"
l promised him l wouldn't, but soon
discovered that my old man didn't

know beans. and came in ditto. There
is such thing in war as lettin' go to
get better hold, and the soldier who
tries to retreat backwards won't make
a success of it. This dyin' with your
face to the foe sounds all right in a
speech at home. but in a battle at the
front the object is to whollop the other
feller and live On.
Another thing my father said was:
''Joe, the man who fights in just
cause is sure to conquer. Let that sup
port and encourage YOU"
After we had been licked three times,
l came to the conclusion that the old
man had got mixed up and left part
ont of the sayin'. The other feller
seemed to think his cause was as just
as mine, and instead of runnin' away
when l shot at him he up with his gun
and shot back. Ny advice is to depend
more on 10 rounds of cartridges than
any sayin' in the books.
When we started to war our captain
promised to shed his last drop of blood
to uphold the dear old flag. In our
first fight he had finger shot off, lost
R tablespoonful of blood, and sent in
his resignation. Don't take things too
literal, and be prepared for all sorts OF
SURPRISES.

In every camp of 1000 men there will

rations, get your sleep, and don't be-
]leve anything until you see the enemy.
Then believe that he will fight, but that
you can lick him.
You VIII miss your gilt-edge butter,
hot rolls. poached eggs, fried chicken
and ice cream; but you'll also discover
that patriotism, hardtack and salt

Some day they may provide their

IRAN AFTER IT FOR A SOUVENIR"

didn't want 1t. Don't load yourself
down with souvenirs until ready to
come home.
There are some offsets to being shot.
One of them is that you don't feel the
bullet when it strikes you. You'll sim
ply think you've got that tired feelin',"
and you'll drop down and do consider
able restn' before you discover that
anything in particular has happened.
If you stay home and go to the den
fists you are goin' to feel hurt from
the time you strike the bottom stair.
About 600 bullets are fired for every
man hit. You've got a heap more
chances in war than you ever had in
the Louisiana lottery. When the en-
emy gets ready with that six hun
dredth nlliet, YOU can modestly offer
to change places with some man who
hasn't read up on war statistics.
Be prepared for queer feelin's when
you stand before the enemy for the
first time, and you won't be disappoint-
ed. Your knees will tremble, your chin
will CULVER, and cold chills will creep
up your back, but the consolation is IN
knowing that every man on the other
side feels the same way. Cussin' in
battle-line is always permissible, and
after you have cussed yourself for
about ten minutes the symptoms will
begin to disappear.
Don't be disappointed in your cap
tain. He will promise TO lead you where
glory calls and to die at the head of his
company, if die he must to smash the
enemy; but whenever lines of battle
are formed. all the company officers
step about 20 feet to the rear. 1t will
surprise you if you are not prepared
for it in advance. If it occurs to you
that you are bein' made bulwark of,
don't argue the matter. The tactics OF
war are never changed on battlefield
to accommodate private soldier.

Roy Harry Porter, one Of the Ne
braska volunteers, is dying Of pneu-
monia at the city and county hospital.
Private j. M. Roberts, Of the Min
nesota regimental band was sand
baggej in Golden Gate Park shortly
after he had been paid off, but FORUM
ately he had turned his money over
to the captain Of company L, so the
would-b be robber got nothing.
A Krag.Jorgensen rifle in the hands
Of Private Tullis, of company L,
1wenty.third United States infantry,
was accidentally discharged. After
passing through six tents and a hayer-
sack filed with clothing, the bullet
struck Private Reid, of the same regi-
ment, In the left leg shattering the
bone. Reid, who belongs to company
X, was sitting IN his tent at the time.
He will probably lose his leg. Tullis
was arrested and will be punished.
Lieutenants Dull and Wilson, OF
the Fifty-first Iowa, while prodding
the ground In their tent with bayo-
net, unearthed coffin containing a
human skeleton. About the same time
another skeleton was dug out Just
outside the tent. The bodies are sun
posed to be those of Chinese, the site
of the camp having once been used as
a burial ground by these people.
1t is stated that the order issued by
Major-General Otis directing all Of
ficers who had brought horses with
them to either ship their mounts
home or turn them over to the inspec.
tors to be examined and bought by
the government for cavalry purposes,
will be rescinded If vessel suitable

The men Of the Minnesota regiment
