stryker IS a sort of general factot1n.
and is usually a man from the officers
own company or troop. He is . jack
of all trades, and good at them, too;
and when the regiment reaches camp
he makes at once for his own partieu-
lar officer and looks after him. 1t is
the stryker who pitches the tent and
unpacks what luggage his superior may
have after he has first extracted it from
the pile of regimental impedimenta.
He fetches water and puts the towels
by the hand basin, and sometimes he
even builds bed, and not bad one,
either, if his chief has not where to lay
his head except upon the ground
He gets an empty barrel, from heav-
en- knows where, sometimes, and pro-
ceeds to knock it to pieces, when he
carefully extracts all old nails, not
caring to play practical jokes upon a
superior officer, however much he may
upon his comrades. Then the stryker
forages further for two long beams,
and if they are not forthcoming he
cuts down couple of young trees, or
in default of those his genius produces
something which answers the purpose,
and laying these two on the ground
side by side, but the length Of the bar
rel slaves apart, he nails the slaves on
them, curves downward, with about
eight inches between. Behold the
Slated bed, which is springer than
the ground and drier, and is raised on
short, rough legs! The writer Of this
has slept on a barrel bed, and it was
more comfortable than some which
looked better
In the meantime, while the officers
tents are going up, those for the COM
panies are being pitched with perfect
order, and in an incredibly short time
are taut and fast They are laid out
in sets of two lines on what are called
the company Streets" and day and
night are patrolled by sentries who
have two hours on and four off alter
nately. Near the company street are
the kitchens-the tents where the
grub" is cooked for the men, and for
the officers as well, who have theirs
or three have gathered together to be
served as one set instead of eating sep
arately. Not only do the officers thus
have one another's society, but club
bling together cuts down expenses, for
whatever an officer has in mess outside

a CHEERFUL WOMAN.

From Inc democrat. Brazil, Indiana.
Every woman cannot be beautiful but q
cheerful face often supplies the deficiency
But no one can be cheerful and bring joy to
others unless they perfect health. For
tunately, science has placed this priceless
boon within the reach OF every woman as
the following incident proves:
Mrs. Amanda Robinson wife of William
Robinson, farmer and stockman, near
TOWNSVILLE, Clay County, Ind, is thirty
two years old and had for several years been
in declining health and respondent For
three months she was not only unable to
attend to her domestic duties but too feeble
to be up and about. To-day she is in good
health and able to attend to her household
affairs. She relates her experience as fol-
lows:
Il was afflicted with female troubles and
was in q delicate state of health Host my
appetite, grew thin and was greatly de-
pressed After taking various remedies
Without being benefited was induced by q
friend to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

OF the commissary provision he pays
for them from his own pocket
There are always several "messes"
(the word strikes civilian ears most
unpleasantly) through the regiment
and those officers who are known to be
bons viveurs under all conditions are
eagerly besOught to take into theirs
those who are not so expert in provid-
ing the goods of life even when they
have the money and inclination.
The officers Zine is always little
away from the mems tents. which are
under the immediate charge of the first
| sergeant and corporals of each COM
pany, and at the top of the cline" is
headquarters, where the colonel and
| his staff are established.
The men in camp usually smuggIe in
some kind OF pet or mascot which
| is not always left behind when the or
| der comes to move, unless it may be
| into action. One of the men who is
now with his regiment in Mobile car
| ried with him from the northwest a
| small black cat, which was hidden in
his knapsack when an inquiring officer
was about, or played in the car, to the
great delight of the soldiers all the way
down. Her owners one anxiety is
what to do with her when they go to
Cuba-for the rank and file says
when" not IF" He doesn't wish to
leave her homeless behind, and yet to
kill the company mascot on the eve
Of battle, as it were, is too much like
defying fate, and he's much more
bothered by that than by his own pros
pective fate. In the meantime kitty
goes purring and playing around camp
with an air of domesticity that con-
vulses visitors and gives an insight
into the character of the soldier

into "The Girl l Left Behind Me-" and
the regiment was off to Mobile to wait
there for further orders sending them
to the front.
The Second Battalion commander
rode a horse that had been in Clusters
last battle, but escaped massacre. Like
his rider, also an old Indian fighter,
the horse was getting old and gray
now, but there was good deal of fire
in his old frame yet, and he danced
off friskily as though longing for battle
once more.
They had to march eight miles to the
railroad which was to transport them
from the Western post, and an order
was called through the ranks for
route STEP which made every man
fall into his own gait, and broke the
straight lines into ragged curves. The
order was indicative of the difference
between dress parade, when to be out
of step was nothing short of a breach
Of regulations, and actual service, when
thoughtful officers saved their men I'M
necessary work out of action.
The girls they left behind them flour
ished their handkerchiefs vigorously in
a noble endeavor that the final glimpse
the officers had of home should not be
associated with fearful women, and as
the last company swung out of the post
to the inspiring strains of the band,
the sweethearts and wives separated to
their different quarters, now so desert
ed, and had it out alone. AS picture
of desolation, Goldsmith's Deserted
Village" isn't a patch on a garrison
after the troops have gone!
But the regiment recks not of that,
but says, ct is war;" and takes to the
field like ducks to water, though there
are many youngsters in the service
who have never been in camp except
for practice, and not a few men who
have not seen action even among the
Indians, who have been rather subdued

these past years. And they are living
the routine life impatiently, waiting
the orders that will make them see ac-
tual service and will bring more vic
tories to the regiment and sustain the
fame of its old record. In thte mean
time they drill and police the camp and
sing about their campfires as the sea-
soned veterans tell tales of the battles
they have seen.
The camp Of a regiment is laid out
like little village and is a model of
neatness and order. Not a scrap of pa
per or vestige of debris of any sort is
seen through its length and breadth,
and the men who police" or clean, go
over the field as a New England house
wife picks threads from her carpet
All the work of this sort in a regiment
is done by its prisoners-men who are
under short arrest for misdemenaors or
for some breach of military regula-
lions; and, clad in brown, they go

 Much surprise as well as disappont- ment is felt among university men over Drums intention to forsake the field of athletics, and doubtless if college were in session every effort possible would be made to try to dissuade him from his course.
 in every way a brilliant one. His fame was established during his first year at college, when he took the 100-yard dash out of the hands of Brunton of Stanford in the intercollegiate field day of '97. The time was 10 1-5 seconds, and although he fell short of that by one-f1fth of second last field day, it was generally conceded that with two years more experience he would have been with hardly a peer in any college in the country. In the 220- ward dash his record stood at 23 seconds fiat and for the quarter mile 51 seconds fiat Tn both these latter events he gave as much promise as in the shorter dis

street, or with G. w. Arper Webster street. south of the Webster street bridge.
 An average of 800 teams per day cross the Webster street bridge. . An appeal is hereby made to you and to all Interested to attend the meeting of the City Council, Monday evening. July 25, 1858, at D clock
 The Board of Supervisors has requested the City Council to consent to the temporary re- mova1 of Webster street bridge to Alice street and also to construct the approach thereto.
 As the War Department requires that the re- moval of the Alice street bridge be commenced by August 1, 1898, 1t Is evident that immediate action should be taken so that permission be obtained from the War Department for the temporary retention of this bridge during the construction of the new bridge
 The Supervisors claim they cannot legally act until the City Council authorizes them to do so.
 The cities of Oakland and Alameda will suf- fer great inconvenience and in some instances heavy loss to business firms will result should the Alice street bridge be not utilized. It means all must travel by Park street and Twenty third avenue. All interested should woke up to the seriousness of the situation and do something to maintain an open thoroughfare at or near the present bridge.
