HAD LAUGH ON SAILORS.
cavairymen Turned, the Tables on
1lue-clad Hosts.

A Jack tar from one Of Uncle Sans
batt1eships who was on q recent visit
to Washington related In a conversa--
ton with a Star reporter an amusing
story Of how several cavalrymen of
the United States army turned the
tables on himself and several other
sailors, while the battleship was sta
toned at Havana, Cuba.
The sailors, who are up to all kinds
OF tricks, were on shore leave one day,
and invited number of the cavalry
men to- take a sail with them. This
struck the fancy of the army men, but
before the trip was half over every
one of t9em had become seasick, much
to the amusement OF the sailors, who
had good, hearty laugh at their
guests expense. Upon returning to
the shore the soldiers thanked them
for their trip and returned to their
quarters.
A few: days later the cavalrymen
journeyed out to the battleship and in
v1ted the sailors who had been 80
kind as to give them a sail to take
horseback ride about the island. The
sailors consented at once. It devel-
oped that the soldiers had picked out
the hardest-riding horses at the camp
for the sailors to ride, and as all know,
the army horses follow the leader as
drove of sheep, one big cavalryman
on fine steed at once stuck his spurs
Into his horses sides, and he dashed
off at full speed. The others, on
which were the sailors, followed in
line. This pace was kept up for about
five miles, at the conclusion of which
each sailor was either holding on to
the saddle or had his arms about the
horses neck.
The sailors returned to their ship
In the afternoon, but all were so sore
from their horseback ride that they
could hardly stir from their hammocks
the next day. The cavalrymen came
out to the ship bright and early and
Invited them to take another ride, but
the sailors declined with thanks.
