was only q years old and this appear

get match. 1t is not An uncommon thing
! to see $50 to 500 put up on a rooster and

guard about once in seven days. Drills. pa
rades and inspections make up for lost time,
and we get all we want of that too. During
nice weather, reveille is at 500 a. M, and at

Game 10 plentiful, such as deer, wild hog,

almost every day. Luck seems to be with
them too, venison 10 not very scarce

| The weather here is a mixture Of every
thing, nothing left out but snow. From
July LIST till Nov. l st is the rainy season, and
| If 1t rains 80 days straight it is not an un-
| common occurrence. Typhoons, earthquakes,
| thunder storms and half Of the Indian ocean
| dumped down on US during storm are the
| troubles Of this season. November and De-

till July, during which time it 10 hot (even
