Identification Badges.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The sug-
geStiOn that during the next National En-
campment of the C. A. X. you propose
to establish headquarters for the several
army corps where comrades can meet and
exchange greetings and register is good
enough as far as it goes.
The object sought, | suppose, is to es-
tablish an Identification bureau. The best
identification scheme that l know of is
for each comrade to wear upon the lapel
of his coat. in large figures and letters
the number and name of his regiment
such rs
''20Gth Indiana"
This badge will serve as an unmistaka.
Bile identification mark, and will do more
than any other thing in bringing together
old acqunintances who are otherwise un'
recognizable.
Comrades do not want to hang about
headquarters all day, and will not. On
the contrary, they will be seen promenade
ing the streets and visiting public build
ingS or other places of interest. Easy
recognition will be the result on street
cars and all incoming and outgoing trains.
In fact, comrades will be ION the go''
most of the time, and in their meander-
ings if this badge is worn, many an old
comrade will be recognized when other
wise they will not be.
Therefore | most respectfully suggest
that The National Tribune unremittingly
urge all comrades to wear the aforesaid
Identification badge.-J. r. MCBRIDE,

for work. He instructs them to wait
only a few days about the city and in
the very near future will give them
employment. Good men only are en-
ployed. They are questioned pointed
ly as to their personal habits. Drink
ing men are not wanted. Mr.. Temple

pert steam shovel operator, who arriv-
ed Wednesday night from Denver. He

in this vicinity.

mence on a new cours through the
hill. The longer and warmer days are
giving the men a chance to put in
more hours. From now until fall the
dirt will be moved as rapidly as posi-

On Board the Dixie, at Sea, off
the Northern Coast of Africa.

Dear Father:-We are now at sea
and running a little ahead of time so
that We will arrive at Gibralter ten
days ahead of our schedule. I wrote
to you from Algiers and gave you some
idea of that place, but since that time
l was ashore again and will try to tell
you more of the place. The city is
built on the side of a bluff so steep
that when one goes back from the wa
ter front a half-mile he is about 600
feet above sea-level. On the side of
the hill about $50, 900 people make
their homes.
Friday I was ashore and took in the
city on foot. Judging from the walk
ing did and the sights l saw. l guess
l made a pretty good job of it. When
a fellow first arrives at the sea wall
he sees as fine and modern a city as is
to be found anywhere. There are
wide streets, up-to-date buildings,
street railways and everything in
first-class fashion. This is the French
or business section and only extends
back from the water front about three
blocks.
The Old Town.
Then comes the Arabian or Moorish
section. where the sights are seen.
The streets in this part are only three
or four feet wide and in every ten or
twelve feet are three or four steps up.
People do not pretend to travel in any
other way than on foot and these little
streets are generally covered over
head. Moorish houses of every size,
shape and description are built in solid
m ajthar side of thasa ctraate Tho
materials used in building are abso-
lutely non-combustible. The town is
not laid out with any regularity,
