in every spare moment in study. Be-
sides passing physical examioation the
captains and lieutenants must be exsm
ined in geography, arithmetic, sp- ling
and writing before receiving their com
missions. There is little time for idle
ness with any of the men, and practi-
cally no disposition or opportunity to go
ether than straight. The Viroqua re-
cruits, am sure, are making models for
the other companies.
One of the best features on the
grounds is the work done for snterta :
ment and betterment of the soldiers by
state representatives OF the Young Mems
Christian Association. They have a
large tent, provided with the latest
daily papers, free writing materials,
where all are made to feel at home. The
tent end writing tables are crowd d
constantly.
The rations dealt cut in camp are
ample and OF the best and most who'e-
some. Good bread, beans, meats, pota-
toes, butter, milk, coffee, canned goods.
These things are not all served at one
time, but are the rations of day. Our
Quartermaster Asa Groves, never fails
to seccre everything that belongs to ne,
and sometimes little more. LATE Suth-
srland and Edwin fainter are company
cooks and .'thsy're all right" Many oil
the good things provided for the boys
on their departure by the ladies of vi
rouua, are not entirely used.
Water on the grounds is very good
and is conveyed in pipes to every street
and corner. Unfortunately the tanh
and fixtures at the pumping station ere
destroyed by fire the second day after
our arrival and water is now delivered
in barrels. The boys have made good
use of the bath houses.

this the child was told to stand in q

he cried so bitterly that his mother
went up to him and said, You so
tell your papa that you are sorry,
and he will forgive you" The little
fellow approached his father, blub.

sobs, Il is sorry that you are such
bad man" We'll, go long and
play, then, " said the father, trying
