Letter From 1 Soldier.

Dear Friend Bjoraa:-
Thank you for your letter just
received. Have just returned
from Lake City. Stood the march
as we'll as the best while some of
the old soldiers dropped out.
That comes from serving only
one master. You know the good
book says that it is impossible
to serve two masters. Well some
Of the soldiers serve Uncle Sam
and not only another master,
viz: the saloon keeper, but a lot
of mistresses as well. You know
what l mean. A word to the wise
is sufficient. As a consequence
they are light in purse, head and
muscle. Mime Haha Falls, that
lovliest spot Oh this fair earth,
is to them only aplace where they
can meet those living cadavers
full OF foulness.
In our shooting came out
Class No. 5, which was ahead of
some of the old soldiers. At first
l led the Company but later /
had less success and fell short of
marksman, though as it was, l
did not so i'll for recruit. l at
tribute also this failure of some
of the old soldiers to their ex-
cesses which unnerves them and
renders their arms unsteady and
their eye-sight dim. could tell
more of the effect of these vices
upon them but the matter would
not dare to pass through the
mail. OF the power that the dis
cipline, leisure and conveniences
in the army, could have for good
in taken advantage OF, l shall
have a word later, l hope to
come up this fall to my home as
| am too old to take up the pro-
fession OF arms for good. My
stay in the army is only temper
AIRY though the above conditions
would tempt me to re-inlistshould
l live to be discharged. That is,
the competition is limited on ac-
count OF the character OF the men
in the service, so that an aver
age man like me who has little
ambition, could hope to rise
rapidly but as l could not rise
above the rank of non-com-
missioner officer on account of
my age, there is therefore not
sufficient indncement for me to
remain. | shall simply use the
army as a make-si1ift, Utilizing
the leisure for study and the
gymnastic exercise for strength
ening my body.
Your friend,
O. @. FUGLEsKJoEL.
