The Old Circus Man,

advice to young man just embark

circus man, Il should say never let a
giraffe drink out of pond or stream,
because he's almost certain 10 drink
too much. You see th= ssiraffe doesn't
really realize that he's drinking until
he begins to take the water into his
stomach, and he doesn't stop drinking
until he's got enough there. The re-
suit of this is that his neck is still full,
a long column Of water that he doesn't
need. but that he takes in just the
same, and often with disastrous re-
suits. have known many q giraffe
to kill himself BY drinking too much,

The Cameras Regular Correspondent Tells
of Camp Life at San Francisco.
Camp Merritt, San Francisco. Cal,
June. 5th. 1893.
Ed. CAMERA: We have not left yet or
received our pay, although both are daily
expected. Yesterday the first blood of
the volunteers was shed-the whole regi-
ment was vaccinated. About thirty sec
conds we're devoted to each man.. 1t twas
compulsory-every man had to take 1t
whether he wanted it or not.
This is Sunday morning and the spirit.
uaI welfare of the camp is we'll guarded.
I have before me dozen circulars of
churches inviting the soldiers to attend
their services. In addition to this the
numerous chaplains will hold services in
their various regiments, gospel tent
has been erected capable of sitting four
or FIVE thousand, tie Catholics have in
stalled themselves on the edge Of the
camp. But with all this grand
religious opportunity not over twenty
FIVE per cent of the boys are taking ad-
vantage Oft.
Eighteen or twenty from each com
pany are turned loose daily from camp
and about an equal number jump the
fence. A park is located two blocks
away and beyond it is "the Chutes." )"
The proprietor of the latter has kindly
allowed the boys free admission to the
place. 1t is usually there that the boys
may be found. Pretty girls are running
loose there, and it is not an uncommon
thing to see them with soldier stiolling
about, eating pop corn, peanuts or some
other dainties OF course very few SOL
diers have any money so they are not
able to get about and see the city as they
would if they had street Car fare.
There is great deal of drilling and
some Of it is very hard. An incident
which shows how our regiment is officer
ed took place few days ago. A COM
pany H boy. Charles Voegtle by name,
was taken i'll on the parade grounds
about mile from camp. Major Ander
son came along and without any unneces,
sary words dismounted, took up Voegtle's
gun and lett the horse telling him to ge,
on and ride. The boys all expressed the
warmest gratitude for this show of affee.
ton by an officer of such high rank.
A gloom is cast over Co. H and, in
fact, the whole regiment this morning
caused by the death of Sergeant Neil c
Sullivan, who passed away yesterday
afternoon. 1t was great loss and deep.
ly felt by every man in the company
M. Sullivan had military experience
which showed him to be a true patriot
He was second lieutenant of Co. c
Governor Adams appointed private to
his position. The company he represen'
ted resented the action by Immediately
disbanding. Then Lieutenant Sullivan
enlisted in Co. H as private. Captain
Eastman, at the first opportunity. raised
him to the rank of sergeant, which he
has held since. He has been a valuable
officer, always ready to do his duty, al.
ways ready to accommodate fellow sol
dier, even at an inconvenience to him
self. The memory of Sergeant Sullivan
will be kept green in company H fol
years. His home was in Longmont.-
