| ing ror the Co G boys left at camp on
Tuesday. 1t was hard work, but he
did it well.
Sergeant Peter Lawlor: ''New Lon
don is all right, and so are its inhab-
itants. They treat you royalty. [
shall not forget my trip to that city
with Jack Foley for many a day.
Neither viii Jack, for he has reason

The handsome form of Brigadier-
General Kennedy of Company G may
be seen astride of Colonel SUCKERS
steed each day riding about the camp.
If Willie had the stripes one would
think he was the acknowledgements as
sistant.
As Captain Fitzpatrick was riding
into camp on Wednesday afternoon,
bevy of girls who were standing out
side the camp began to clap their
hands and one shouted "Hurrah for
Teddy Roosevelt!' The cheers We're
heartily given.
.Privates Charles Bauby, T.. L.. d.
! Foley and Sergeant Peter Lawlor
spent Tuesday at New London. It is
| said that Foley went on journey to
| the matrimonial well and that LaWlor
| Bauby to perform the ceremony.
/ Corporal Anderson is a jolly good
| fellow, but he was not very cheerful
when he discovered that a nice box of
delicacies from a friend in Waterbury
had been stolen from him. He thinks
that. Privates Mintie and Spencer had
something to do with the stolen goods.
George % NELL, the handsomest mem
Der of Company G, was detailed as or
derby for Colonel Sucher yesterday.
The only trouble George had was in
understanding the orders issued by the
colored help at the colonePs tent.
Georges title of being the handsomest
boy in Company G street is disputed
by Corporal Frank Reid.
The occupants of Company G street
had little opportunity to enjoy sleep
last night. Corporal Chris BannOn
and Private Peters had their not gen
tie brigade in working order and as
result several tents were pulled down
on top of their owners. Privates Dono-
van and Mohr were very angry because
their sleep was disturbed.
Privates Mates and Mcdonald of
Company G had an exciting experience
on Thursday night. They were re-
luIu1uSs W Cduip dDOuI Ii T.. LII. 1LOLA
Crescent Beach, where they had spent
the night, and as they had no passes
they had to run the guard. Both fell
down an embankment and as a result
they are nursing sore limbs.
Private Chris Bannon was very lone
some Tuesday night. Most of the
Co G boys were at the bivouac for the
night, i've miles away. Chris went to

pant said: ..Come over to my tent.
don't care what you do as long as you
talk to me. I am very lonely The
streets of the Second regiment were
indeed lonely.
While the machine gun battery was
drilling on Wednesday afternoon, a
pole on. the machine was broken and
the gun fell on two Of the soldiers. It
was thought at first that the men were
seriously injured and much excitement
consequently prevailed. But on exam
ination at the hospital, where they
were sent, it was found that although
they were badly bruised they were not
seriously Injured.
Private Peters feelings towards
Corporal James Kelly are not of the
best. This will be surprising news to
Waterbury people as they were bosom
friends before they arrived in camp.
But Peters says that he has no more
use for Kelly, that the latter did him
mean. Peters intended to have
good sleep last night, but when he
was in the midst of dreams which con-
cerned the fair ones left at home he
was Jared by a wheelbarrow being
rushed in through the tent on top Of
him. Hastily he jumped up, seized
his bayonet and stood guard at the
door. "Ha1t! who goes there?" he
said Just then lemon came flying
through the tent and Mikes left ear
became juicy. oh. what an act. Out
Mike rushed and away did Kelly rush.
1t was a thrilling race and Mike al
most lost his pajamas. To increase
his discontinue the guard on duty
lgave chase to him and almost succeed
ed in capturing him. Why shouldn't
the bantamweight feel sore at his for
mer friend, Kelly?
