And now they tell IL on Gen. Lee
that when his handsome blue uniform
came and his wife took it out OF the
case he looked at it with solemn colln'
tenance and said. PUT II back, vile !;
let it stay there awhile till l can get
rcconciIed. I'm afraid l might shoot
at it all OF "a sudden"
The boys in camp get many JOKE,
and they 20 on the grand rounds, and
that reminds ME OF Pat. DOolan, a
fresh Irishman, who was put on
plcket and ordered to let no man pass
without the pass word. When the
officer came round to change the guard
Pat challenged him with, " Halt, be
ia.us. and give the pass word y
"Oflicer on the grand rounds" said
the lieutenant.
"Grand rounds and be d-n to ye,'
said Pat, can II ye don't come for
ward and say Bull Run I'll be aftle'
shootin' into you, Mr.. Grand Rounds
The boys say that down at CAM
Griffin when a new recruit comes II
the deyi!ish fellows take him of1 Il
+ drill him. "Young man, you mus
remember the Maine, and also remenl
Der that you are private; when yo'
. meet an officer you must salute hin
o and say, L am your dog, sir and tn
officer will waive his hand and sm''
o and say, Il know it, and pass on
. They haze the green ones as bad u
college boys haze a verdant freshman
" There is many a wag around IN
camp fires, and they spice the wear
hours with wit and wisdom, In
= average soldier hears no malice, nj
even toward the foe lie has been sen
to flght. Cervcra and Hobson are III
:, best OF friends, and II it is posslol
for US to like Cervera it is possibl
that the people who placed him hlg
+. in command have some redeemln
10 virtues. In our civil war the private
Il, OF both armies exchanged civillties o
nickct lines. Stonewall Jackson :
=. buked this, and once when picK'
to brought him New York paper he
RS fused it, and said. "Take nothli
from them, sir, and give them not'.l'
as hut lead /; they are our enemies" B
a the common soldier has not consid'
HI. cd the casus bclli, the aggravatic
he from national standpoint, nor c
he. like Cromwell or Stoncwall Jac
''' son, worship God by killing his cou
y" wv trys foes.
~. A soldiers life is a good train
school, and he soon loses some OF
ri. conceit and selnshness. When .
who has been hum0red and petted
home becomes schoolboy and has
rub against other boys he soon lea'
to give and take aud tote fair with
schoolmates. Just 90 these you
day soldier boys, when far away IF
r' father and mother, soon nnd the
ne selves enduring a. common haros
- " and Ia peril Of a common DANGER
w. It soitens their nature and takes aS
their vanity. They learn from
