First Assistant Surgeon DR.. Smith, OF
Las Vegas. Is not only a gentleman, but
q generous one. Our boys all like him.

The Phoenix company have lately been
drilling In the %cOrrall, protected by a high
board fence. Whether they are afraid Of
some enemy. possess some dreadful tao.
tical secret, or want to learn the school
OF the soldier and other elementary
things before trying them publicly, Is a
query.
Company A wants no dainties except
the regards OF its friends. The individual
is distinct from the company. and the
latter should not be charged with the ex-
trayagancies Of the former. The Santa
Fe correspondent. who lately showed
forth symptoms Of cerebral disruption In
his ~insanely funny demands on Santa
Feans, Is closely watched and Is being
treated 10 a mental diet OF young calves
brains. The next time he thinks he will
bawl probably.
Yes, dear reader, he was a member q
Company A; a nan hunter by profession,
a snipe hunter by Justification. Some OF
the bad boys had been talking Of the
astronomical and p%alatial titillationsl
qualities OF that feather edged biped, the
snipe. when the hammerless double back
action liar OF the company stated that he
knew a certain canyon about four miles
away where snipe c%ongregated nightly TO
discuss the news Of the day; that whole
bags full had been caught; that the best
and surest way TO secure them is TO place
a lighted candle at the mouth OF the open
coffee sack, which Is held by some one in
q narrow part Of the canyon or gulch.
Then the others separate, spread out and.
OF course, drive In the snipe until the
sack Is full. IL Is very dangerous to
drive up more than enough 10 an the
sack. The victim would then get scared
and 90 home. That would be wrong.
The Dagger should stay. The drivers
should go home and 10 bed and let the
snipe 90 to-the bag themselves. This
last our gOod-hearted driver did. And,
although our victimized Dagger protected
the light and held the bag for an hour, and
painfully and lengthily did his duty dust
as he was told, and according to rule),
yet the fool birds neglected their duty
and failed to appear. After the candle
had burned out, OF course the birds
cOnld not see. and the bagger's
hope died with the flame. But evils
chase upon each others heels. The
sentinels caught the snipe catcher, and
baggers were bagged in the guard house,
All Company AS snipe catcher can show
for his trouble is an old coffee sack and
a distinct though troubled memory.
Lieutenant Wiley Jones, ESQ, is now
the regimental quartermaster. Wiley IL

combination will qualify him as gruba-

Lieut.. DR.. Cr~ulkshank, OF San Marcial,
Is In his element. A saver and cutter
by profession and choice, he is a genial
gentleman because he can't help II. And
carelessly, he does not try to help it.
