About twenty members of Great
Bend Camp of Modern WOodmen
visited the Camp at Pawnee Rock last
Friday evening and assisted in some
very interesting log rolling. The de-
gree team went up in UNIFORM, and
some of the boys are vain enough to
say the Pawnee II lck ladies almost
went up IN admiration of their man
ly forms, with particular reference TO
Brodie and Hennessy.) The boys all
say they were most royalty treated by
the neighbors at Pawnes Rock-plenty
to eat, drink and talk about.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT
Heavy rains fell on Friday and Sat
urday evenings and the camp is again
a sea of mud. Our regiment the
twenty firs) was mustered in late Sat-
urday afternoon. The regiment was
forty one short. The Great Bend or
company "a" was FIVE short. The
boys had run the gauntlet and were
up town when the order to muster
came. After the company returned to
quarters guard was thrown out to
watch for the boys, vino upon their re-
turn we've taken to tie guard i,ouse.
One of the number was Barton boy.
On Thursday our company was called
to the capitol to take the final examina-
ton. While the examination was in
progress two of the boys-one from
Barton and one from Rice deserted
Mr.. Hallett Of Rush Center and Mr..
Baxter of Great Bend were rejected on
account of physical disability. The
boys were anxious to give their services

the company and felt very much dejec

though we have been drilled four hours

camp woull admit we are still an ''awk.
ward squad" Our officers entertain
great hopes for US as all the boys show
a disposition to learn.
Our boys are not on dress parade
and should their friends visit the camp
they would find them in every day garb
with their trousers rolled up to the tops
of their stockings and trying to cleft

'tours right" with the mud splashing to
their knees.
Sunday at p. m. orders came to
move. In ten minutes the boys were
ready and thinking the order meant
business, shouted .'On to MANILA as
they fell into line. After marching
through slush for a mile they felt chag-
rined when ordered to halt and go into
new quarters in the north part of the
camp. The Red Cross and the Chris
tan Sanitary Commission are doing a
good deal of work. Reading and writ

charge. Y. M. c. A. meetings are

negro excitement has died out since the
negroes have made themselves scarce
this week. They prefer the latter to

take any part in the negro excitement.

Good Friends.

In a cavalry troop there generally
grows up between each horse and his
rider a strong bond of sympathy and
friendship. Soldiers In the cavalry serv-
ice are in most cases stationed at remote
western posts, where, far from home
and friends and as rule unmarried,
they are necessarily very limited in
their social pleasures and amusements.
On this account, perhaps, the propensi-
ty for having pets of various kinds is
very strongly developed and increases
the sense of fellowship between the
horses and their riders Cruelty or in
attention to the wants of their horses is
a rare trait among cavalrymen, and
even should this be the case from the
feeling of proprietorship cruelty from
be resented as an injury to the owner
himself.
This comradeship is more in evidence
upon long march or while in the field
engaged upon arduous or dangerous du
ties. On such occasions, when forage
often becomes scarce, cavalry soldiers
will jealousy guard every grain that
their horses receive, and should the SER
geant through carelessness or prejudice
give a triflc more or less to ono than the
other it often provokes vast deal of
grumbling, SO closely is the trooper in
torested in the welfare of his horse. -

Foy and the Lunatic.

Eddie Foy, the comedian, spent a
summer vacation at his Old home in
central New York. One day as he was
strollins past the large insane asylum
that stands on the outskirts of the town
he was startled by low "Hist!" and
Oh looking up saw one of the worst
heads that ever came under his gaze
peering over the wall. Eddie was not
frightened, for he did not think the
maniac could scale the wall, but he
quickencd his pace. He had proceeded
but "a short distance when he heard a
scrsmbling, and on looking saw that
the mailman had climbed over the wall
and was following him. Eddie walked
fast. but the maniac, who was an i'm
menso fellow, with face that wore a
demoniac look, walked faster Foy trot-
ted little, and the mailman trotted
after him. Eddie finally broke into a
run and was Mortified to see that his
pursuer was not only running also, but
was gaining steadily. Eddie is not much
of Splinter, but on this occasion he
made remarkable time, but soon Foy
could hear the labored breathing of his
pursuer and felt that he could make no
further effort. Just as he was about to
faint from exhaustion the maniac
reached forward, touched him gently on
the shoulder and said: Tag! You re
