A few hours before Col. r. G.. Smith
of the Fourth Regiment left Camp
Meade, Pa, a few days ago, his brother
officers invited him to meet them at the
Commonwealth Hotel, the Waldorf-As-
toria Of Harrisburg, and to the Colonel's
establishment he found a repast spread,
to which If he paid the fullest atten-
ton he would require the stomachic con-
formation Of a camel.
His surprise increased when, in a fiat
tering speech, Lieutenant Colonel Gill
more presented to him, on behalf Of the
officers, a magnificent diamond ring,
carefully selected from Tifany's vast
collection. The testimonial from the Off
GERS so deeply touched the Colonel that
expression of thanks was entirely beyond
his control.
The feast went on, n it was a feast,
served in Proprietor Russ most

Smith, escorted by his brother officers.
to whom he bade farewell, took the mid
night train for Jersey City. For further
