Half Coyote and Half Goat.
Bruce Johnson is the battery pup at
Sunnyside. Bruce is believed TO be
half coyote and half Angora goat-a
belief based on his appearance. Bruce
IS young and silly. He does not under
stand trains any TO speak of and has
TO be watched closely to prevent his
going to sleep on the track. Bruce
has learned that the interior of the
Sibley tents is warmer than the out
side air and makes himself welcome in
the tents at his pleasure. Bruce is an
other Sunnyside dog likely to be stolen
when the troops go home. providing
some switch engine does not bring his
glad young life to a tragic terminal
ton before that time.

ly better CHARTERED and better content
ed than those at any other camp. Cap

days ago. He said. Battalion Atten-
