form In which the regulars do it's TO sa-
lutte officers. Take a volunteer who is
hronzed and big like a regular. and put
him in a regulars clothes and send him
out on the street. and he would certainly
betray himself as a volunteer at his first
meeting with an officer. The regular walk
ing on the street salutes every officer he

second lieutenant Of Ohio volunteers came
along the footway. In the midst OF his
horses gyrations the mounted regular
managed 10 salute the pedestrian ofhcer
in proper form. The smile OF admiration
and satisfaction on that young officers
face was worth going a long way 70 see.
