Travelling is a distinctly modern in

speed and the attainment of a definite
locality. 1t is done for a purpose,
and the means are always sacrificed
to the end. The scenery through

II never saw so many mosquitoes
before. They were mad, too. The fact
seems to have made them furious.
They were buzzing like nest of dis
turbed hornets. But what surprised
me more than any other thing was the
fact that several dozen had managed
to get through and were actually on
the inside, and had really begun to
chew me. On the outside of the bar
l found perfect swarm. Some of
them were fastened in the threads Of
the bar. They were trying to squeeze
through the little holes of the bar, just
as the others had done. Their long
legs, or their wings, or some part OF
the body, mad become tangled and they
were hopelessly tied. Now how did
they know how to get through these
little places by the squeezing process?
How did they know this was the only
possible way to reach the food they
wanted? l tell you the mosquito Is
capable of learning few things,
and he is being educated up to some

All of the stamps bear the head of
King Edward, facing to the left, in
an oval within finely beaded frame,

the others range from scarlet to
orange, olive green and purple.

the early part of June.
At the same time the four companies Of

post, will join the remainder Of the regi-
ment, now at Plattsburg barracks, New
York
This means that with the arrival Of the
new regiment. the quarters at the post
will again be nearly filled, and the fall
and winter will see a resumption of those
social gayeties which made the post such
an attractive spot before the Spanish
American war The coming of the fine
band of the Sixteenth is in itself a well
come piece of news. The fall months will
see more dress parades at twilight, more
hops in the evenings. and probably oc-
casional nightly concerts on the broad
drill ground.
The Sixteenth has seen some hard fight
ing in the Philippines. and officers and
men win be glad to get back to the states
again. 1t was at first thought that the
whole regiment would come to Atlanta,
but it is now said at the post that only
two battalions will be here. Two battal
ions. however. means between 500 and 800

favor of such an organization as a means
of raising funds in Georgia for the monu-
ment
Owing to the absence Of so many vet
Grams and sons of veterans at the Dallas

that the organization of the association
should be deferred until a later date. The
association will not only include South
Carolinaians but all other admirers Of the
beloved Confederate leader.

ing expressed a desire to contribute TO
the fund which will be used for the cree
