Of the Boys-Guard in fine Shape.
PARKERsBURe. Aug. s-The life
OF the citizen soldiers at Camp White
has now settled down In accord with
the strlctest military discipline, and
military men, who have never before
tasted of the sweets and s0urings Of
soldering, are getting their I'll Of 1t.
From early morning till sunset there
are drill galore and practice in tactics
that cannot be got only at such an en-
campment as the one now being held.
Parkersburg has given the soldier
boys cordial welcome and it has ex-
tended to them the freedom of the
city to that extent that the discipline
they are now under will permit. It
hopes that they will enjoy their visit
here socially and that it will result in
making them more proficient In mil
itary matters, as well as incucalate IN
them the lessons Of patriotism and
obedience to law and order, OF which
they should be, in their capacity OF
volunteer soldiers, the practical en-
bodiment

SOLDIERS FRANKS.
Noticing the number OF cows in the
field in which the camp is located one
of the officer sremarked that they had
better fight shy of the ClarksburS
soldiers. He said that at former en-
campment an old colored woman
complained to him about the soldiers
of the company milking her COW He
told her that all the members of that
/. nd
know how to extract the tactical fluid.
The old Garkey replied that she knew
better; that they conld milk into
beer bottle without splitting drop OF
milk, and the cow was running at
gallop This was too much for the
officer and he settled with the woman.
At the encampment at Keyser there
was five acre melon patch between
the camp and the creek in which the
soldiers bathed, that promised great
crop. 1t was owned by an old veteran
OF the ciyil war, who visited brigade
headquarters at the opening of the
encampment and RECALLED the officers
with stories OF the foraging expedi-
tions he INDUCED in during camp life.
When the encampment broke up that
melon patch was a woeful wreck,
there wasn't even decent looking
vine left. The owner came to the
camp and demanded satisfaction, and
the officers asked him IL he didn't re-
member the days when he foraged for
something outside the regular camp
grub. He said that he did, and he
guessed that boys would be boys. He
concluded there was no kick coming
to him and left the camp In good
humor.
1t is fact that the soldiers like
chicken, and one of the officers re-
marked some soldiers would not make
surreptitious visits to adjacent hen
roosts, but failed to state what the
Others would do. The camp style of
dressing chicken is to wrap it up in
coating Of mud, throw it on the hot
Goals and bake it The feathers are
removed with the mud. The soldiers
state that chickens cooked ia this
manner are delicious.
Running the guard lines at night
is another diversion INDUCED in by
the soldiers. 1t is rather risky and att
tended by some danger, but it Is in
dulged in frequently by the yentur-
some who are fond of spice OF
