didn't, which caused the others
much amusement. When / was
ready to retire l spread my poncho
on the ground, and rolling up some
other things for pillow, | figured
on a quiet nights rest. l had
hardly lain down when some
thing started to crawl over my
breast. OF course I felt sort OF
queer, not knowing but what 1t
might be snake, 80 hastily
striking a light I was surprised to
see many little lizards all over my
blankets and creeping all over my
fellow mates who were in the tent
with me. [ made up my mind
right away that if Mr.. Lizard slept
there l would not and forthwith
started to rout them out. Of course
this aroused my sleeping mates,
who did not speak as mother used
TO, and after beaping all the old
shoes and numerous other bless
ing on the Yank, one old soldier
told me they were the best friends
soldier had. It was too late then
to get the story out of him so l de-
cided to wait until morning when
was determined to learn more of
my bed fellows.
Hunting up the old fellow the
next morning, who by the way had
served IN India thru the Sepoy up
rising, he said these little lizards
would wake person up if snake
was anywhere near, they are dead
ly enemies to the whole snake
tribe. For instance, if a person
were sleeping out on the veldt,
and snake should happen to come
that way the little lizards would
crawl over the face of the sleeping
one and thus arouse him. Any
way after hearing that about them
I decided that they would be bet
ter for bed fellow than a Cobra.
About this time a great boiler was
started about the cook. You know
when one is in the army he forgets
that it is quite task to put up a
good meal, having two rails for a
stove and large iron pot to do all
the cooking in. The lieutenant of
our company called for couple of
men who would volunteer to be
cooks. Some one finally said:
"How about the two Yanks giving
us taste of their cooking?" To
make long story short fellow
from Chicago and l took the job.
The rations were given to the
orderly of each tent and after fix
ing the things up they were placed
in the tents dixey as the mess pot
of each tent is called. Then they
were brought to the cooks, who
we're told how each mess was to be
cooked. We got along very we'll
for about three months, until we
started to fry steaks out of the "a
tions of meat issued to the COM
pany. I used to cut l2O chops
aud steaks and the two of US cooks
would fry them every morning on
the lids of the dixies for the men.
The men who carried the steaks
up to the tents got in the habit Of
lifting eight or ten every once in
while, and then tell the mon the
cooks made mistake in the count.
This pu. us in bad plight, and
as there was plenty to do without
this extra work we decided to cut
out the steaks, first having one of
the sergeants watch that the right
amount went to the men for sever
al mornings. But the steaks still
kept missing so the lieutenant told
us to serve the food in the regular
way. About two mornings after

ANOTHER PIPE E

The Reno Journal of late has evident

dreams in regard to railroad matters
in the state. The latest one, which is
published in another column of this
issue of the Silver State News, is 20
the effect that the Western Pacific
will not build its line through Winnie

refusal of two "setlers'' to grant the
necessary right-of- way. just how the
settlers would 60 about it to prevent

newspaper novice, and is used with
great moderation by even the most
