into "The Girl Left Behind Me-" and
the regiment was off to Mobile to wait
there for further orders sending them
to the front.
The Second Battalion commander
rode a horse that had been in Clusters
last battle, but escaped massacre. Like
his rider, also an old Indian fighter,
the horse was getting old and gray
now, but there was a good deal of fire
in his old frame yet, and he danced
off friskily as though longing for battle
once more.
They had to march eight miles to the
railroad which was to transport them
from the Western post, and an order
was called through the ranks for
route STEP which made every man
fall into his own gait, and broke the
straight lines into ragged curves. The
order was indicative of the difference
between dress parade, when to be out
of step was nothing short of breach
of[egll.atiops, and astaa1 -ssrSise, when
thoughtful officers saved their men un-
necessary work out of action.
The girls they left behind them flour
ished their handkerchiefs vigorously in
noble endeavor that the final glimpse
the officers had of home should not be
associated with fearful women, and as
the last company swung out of the post
to the inspiring strains of the band,
the sweethearts and wives separated to
their different quarters, now so desert
ed, and had it out alone. AS a picture
of desolation, Goldsmiths Deserted
Village" isn't a patch on a garrison
after the troops have gone!
But the regiment recks not of that,
but says, at is war" and takes to the
field like ducks to water, though there
are many youngsters in the service
who have never been in camp except
for practice, and not a few men who
have not seen action even among the
Indians, who have been rather subdued

stryker is a sort Of general factotum,
and is usually man from the officers
own company or troop. He is a jack
of all trades, and good at them, too;
and when the regiment reaches camp
he makes at once for his own particu-
lar officer and looks after him. 1t is
the stryker who pitches the tent and
unpacks what luggage his superior may
have after he has first extracted it from
the pile of regimental impedimenta.
He fetches water and puts the towels
by the hand basin, and sometimes he
even builds bed, and not a bad one,
either If his chief has not where to lay
his head except upon the ground.
He gets an empty barrel, from heav-
en- knows where, sometimes and pro-
ceeds to knock it to pieces, when he
carefully extracts all old nails, not
caring to play practical jokes upon
superior officer, however much he may

the kitchens-the tents where the

the officers as we'll, who have theirs
served in the mess tent where two

the great total value, but also the i'm

the United States the largest producer

A UPeacev FAMILY.

There is charming woman, ninety
six years of age, living in Chicago,
who says her family has always been
o "peace" family. Mrs. Mary Allen
Otis is the name by which that veteran
woman is known to her friends, and
she told the other day how few of her
family had ever been warriors, though
her ancestor came to this country in
$780,. During the Revolutionary War
the Aliens were Tories and used to
supply the British Army with food.
Only one member of the family fought
in the Revolution, and this was Mrs.
Otis's grandfather. He was captured
by the British and held as prisoner
of war. During the War of 1872 her
father desired to enlist in the army,
but, being the mainstay Of the family,
was unable to do so without leaving
them in need. None Of the family
was in sympathy with the Mexican
War, and so did not fight. When the
| Civil War broke out Mr.. T. A. Otis,
her SOC, was unable to serve, as ne
was the only bread Garner in the fam
ilv, his brother Harrison being al
invalid, and he, therefore, could not
enlist. The old lady was strongly op
posed to the present war, and said:
IT wouldn't let any of our children
go if they wanted to, and1 don't think
they will ask to do So"
Mrs. Otis has lived under the rul'
of every President except Washing
ton, and some years ago met ant
talked with General Granty-New Yorl
Mail and Express.
