Tommy Atkins, Discipline.

Tommy Atkins, more especially the
Irishmen of that name, manages often
to work in little humor in conjunc-
ton with discipline. The Royal Innis-
killen fusileers were marching to their
?, 4,ysketry camp ana halted for the night
x e little town of Kesh. The sur
geon captain attached to the regiment
for the march preferred to sleep in the
hotel and his tent was not pitched.
Four men were told off next morning,
however, according to custom, to strike
the doctors tent, and marching to the
spot where it should be found was a
vacancy. ''Where does the doctor stay,
anyway" asked the old soldier of the
party, aud he was told that the doc
tor had slept at the hotel When the
surgeon captain came out of the hotel
he found the old soldier and the three
other men waiting outside, and asked
them what they wanted. PARTY to
sthrike the doctors tent" replied the
old soldier laconically. Whether the
four gallant fusileers had intended to
pull down the hotel as soon as the doc
tor was out of it did not transpire, for
they were sent off to their company at
once.-London Telegraph.

THE SCHOONMAKER SUIT
Uncle Sam Wants To Recover From
Contractor Who Left His Job
Uncontrolled.

Saturday afternoon Judge Bosrman
TOOK up the case of the United States
We. D. w. Schoonmaker ct al. This is
now quite an old suit and has been a
long time on the docket. 1t is civil
action brought by the United States to
recover from Schoonmsker and bis
bondsmen, M. w. Stanton and r. F.
Campbell the amount of $1,000 alleged
10 be due for the work lefs uncomplet-
ed by Schooumaker on some buildings
for the United States at Fort Bliss. 1t
is alleged by the government that
Schoon maker contracted to put up GER
tain buildings at the fort at q stlpulat-
ed price and then failed to keep his
agreement and the government finish
ed the work and brought the suit.
The evidence consists in large part
OF official records, depos ttons. etc.
Architect Kneezell was also on the
stand Saturday afternoon explaining
the plans for the buildings to the jury.
NJ. w. Stanton, one Of the defendants,
was also on the stand.
From the evidence it appears that
Capt George Rubin, OF the quarter
masters department of the army,
was in charges of the plane. It is
claimed by the defendant that as he
took the contract al q low figure he was
unable to stand the extra expense i'm
posed by the changes made by Capt.
been for these changes the
defendant claimed that he
could have com pleted his contract
without difficulty. When these
changes were made by the
captain in the interest of
the government he could not COM
plete the work without additional COM
pensation for the extra expense IN.
volved. When this was not allowed
he gave up the contract.
Then Mr.. Stanton, his counsel and
one of his bondsmen, testified that he
had advised him to do this thereby
taking his chances, of course, of being
sued under his bond. Mr.. Stanton al
so testified to conversations with Capt.
Ruhlin in which the latter intmated
that he was anxious to have Schoon-
maker give up the contract so that he
could complete the building as de-
sired, as he was convinced that one of
the original plans was not such a one
as was wanted at the post. This closed
