We learn there is a disposition
among some of our business men to
close their business houses on Sun
days. This I think is move in the
right direction and one that would be
approved by all law abiding citizens.
Say boys. if to war you will go,
don't think of enlislfng with a foreign
foe; better stand up for the red. white
and blue, as all loyal citizens are ex-
pected to do. And then you will
gain patriotic name, that may in
time carry you to honor and fame.
And as long as you are protected by
Uncle Sans laws. be careful to keep

there is Charles Jauch, of the Second
United States infantry, who lost his
eyesight in the fight at San Juan Hill
by the explosion of a shell, which killed
his captain and several other officers Of
the regiment Miss Gould spent some
time talking with the afflicted man.

rnitted to talk with the prisoners, most
of whom were serving sentences for de-
sertfng before the war
