Whipple Barracks, Aug. 26.-Pay day
has come and gone like a summers
dream. and God and President Mckinley
still reign.
Some of the boys are now poorer than
they were before pay day, but they have
the satisfaction of knowingthat one cause
for "kicking'' has been removed. A
snap shot which a kodak fiend got of
the pay of a soldier who is in the Water
bury movement class, developed a flying
streak which resembled a bolt of creased
lightning seeking gravity.
The scene in Prescott pay day night,
recalled to mind Secretary Sherman's
sage remark: "War is hell" And it
seemed deplorable to see so many blue
coated braves going to - war.
The guard house is as full as the Ari-
iona volunteers. The ~infraction of rules
was so general that it became necessary
to send round up details to the city for
the purpose of steering the erring ones
home. A few were extraordinarily
wicked, but, fortunately, no one was
''shot at sun RISE" though many were
nall shot -,
IN consequence Oh the general uls-
order, all trip passes to the city were
annulled, and the ANIMALS held by the
war correspondents were temporarily
f~eSclnaea.
