ONE HAPPY BOY.
Greets His Own Hero AS He Returns
From SantisEO,

There was cue small boy superla lively
happy in Washington yesterday. His SOL
dier had returned, and he had the exquisite
delight of meeting him at the station, keep
ing step with him up the avenue and final
ly gong into transports oof delight when
he could sit down in the grass in the White
Lot and hear his soldiers experimentation
washington to fame land glory, via San
tlago. There were no rela tives to greet the
soldier and nobody in all the surgng thous-
ands who cheered hisrcomrades thought of
him as an individuak Not one but this
prlsht-eyed handsome small boy, who now
iterdly reEelS IN pockets full of Santiago
relics, and whose knowledge of those fate
tui July days was impaired by his own
solulSf: All w Washington will remember the
oay thls young lad adopted the soldier.
II was May 16, when the District regi-
ment left this city, but only the soldier and
the boy really knew a very interesting part
OF the last chapter. One of the incidents
of that afternoon found its way into the
ne" "spapers, and the small boy had a big
snare in 1t. Everybody rem embers the
story or the soldier who had been put in
charse OF some of the regiment property
Whlie the command rested in the White
Lot He was d stranger and one of the last
ol lhe recruits. but he knew what duty
meant When the regiment fell in line to
liarch ma 10 the depot nobody bothered about
nm and nobody came to relieve him of his
trust. He continued at his post till night
zen, When he was discoI cred by the small
oov' VINO was just much impressed with
the new soldiers conception of his duty as
was the recruit himself
me BOY at once constituted himself the
ipst INK between the faithful guard and
the authorities, and, more than that went
nome and had his mother put up the incest
M h!lid Oh lunch for the soldier. The night
was cool, and to the lunch he added an
oVercoat from the home wardrobe The
next day he constituted himself a commit

SERGEANT LAMBS LOSS,
He Mourns the Absence of a NaIu-
able Parrot.

Yesterday afternoon just before the Dis
trict boys started on the march from Sd
street and Virginia avenue. Sergt r. l..
Lamb of Company Z was unfortunate
enough to lose a valuable parrot. to which
he is very much attached. This parrot was
taken from Washington May II as the
mascot of Company +. and has, with the
boys, shared all Of the hardships OF the
campaign around Santiago.
Sergeant Lamb had the parrot on his
shoulder preparing to start OF, when the
bell carried by the veteran firemen began
to ring and scared the bird and caused it to
fly away. Naturally, tie sergeant is very
anxious to secure this valuable souvenir of
the trip Of the regiment. He will appreci-
ate very much the receipt of Information
concerning it or its return to him at Brook
land, where its fortunate CaDtor will be
presented with a handsome souvenir of the
travels of the brave boys from the District
of Columbia.
This parrot, by the way, is one of the
three mascots that survived the hardships
of the trip. While in the field he learned to
sound most of the familiar bugle calls. and
when the trumpeters were blowing he
would generally initiate them.

date of the surrender of Santiago and
mary other interesting events.
A very large number of the soldiers ha sc
recorded history their hats. Those
given to historical work have practically
covered their gray army hats with a rec
ord or events and dates on which they took
place In all cases where this was done
the hat bears the name of the soldier, to-
gether with the date of his muster-in.
When new hats were issued to the men
great many of them We're alarmed to learn
that general order had been issued that
all old clothing was to be burned, and men
wearing these hats, which they valued be-
!Cnd money, proceeded to tuck them away
in their baggage where they could not be
captured by any sanitary or other officer
VINO might come around. It was greatly g
their relief, however, when they found
that the report was without foundation,
ard that only men taken to the hospital
had their ciet hing burned.
Capt. Domer of Company G has a Krag-
Jorgensen carbine, which was presented to
him while in Cuba by Col Roosevelt of the
famous Rough Riders. The Rough Riders
had captured a small number of these car
bines from the Spaniards. and Col Roose-
Neit very courteously presented one of
them to Capt. Dor. err who brought 1t home
with him.
Queer Flag of Truce.
Lieut.. Harrison of Company F has
mammoth Spanish bandana handkerchief.
AS Lieut.. Harrison was proceeding along
road near Santiago after the surrender
he met a Spaniard who waved this large
bandana handkerchief at him, and point
IL e to a hole in it, said, in very broken
English:
See. Americana bullet"
In very crude manner the Spaniard pro-
Ceeded by words ard gestures, to explain
that he had been a sharpshooter, and while
Up a tree had waved his bandana as flag
of truce. The barbara. while largely red
contained number of white spaces. which
the SDaniard thought would indicate its
character. But somehow bullet flow up
in the tree and went through the handker-
chief making the hole he had pointed out
Evidently the American soldier had not
been able to recognize the red handker-
chief as a flag of: truce and fired on the
sharpshooter. The handkerchief is GU
rious one, of the kind issued by the Span
ish' government to it's soldiers. In its
center is printed picture of a rifle about
which are instructions for using the rifle
and many rules of Spanish military drill.

own conductor while aboard an Anacostia

MY client is not drinking man.
argued Attorney Moss in the Police Court

made the statement that he had been in
dulging too much.
Have you ever been convicted of any
