INJURIES RECEIVED

Pine Camp, n, X, June l6.--Rain, ac-
companied BY heavy winds, played heavy
havoc with the tented military city here
Sunday night, many tents being blown
down, including the paymaster's tent.
The paymaster was paying of the
members Of the Twelfth Infantry when
the storm came.
Several hundred dollars in bills were
scattered and only part Of the money
was recovered.
Corporal Carlson Of Company G, Sixth
Massachusetts, was struck BY falling
tent pole and received severe scalp
wound, which rendered him unconscious
His injury, however, only superficial.
The sandy soil absorbed the rain readily,
the troops suffering little Inconvenience
AT noon all the troops scheduled to
be on the grounds had arrived, with the
exception Of the Second New Hampshire
and Troops b and ID Of New York. The
scheduled program for yesterday was
disarranged by teh storm and all drilling

A POStInan's Story.



"ThGre was q girl on my ROUTE said

enough to read them. 1t may seem
strange to you, but whenever had d
letter for her 1t was the pleasure Of
the day for me. There's no happiness
equal to giving happiness to another,
and whenever my little girl received a
letter the Joy that lit up her childish
face was reflected In mine.
when she was about seventeen
there came new interest for her in
her letters. One morning when was
sorting the mail for my route saw a
letter the superscripton OF which In
dicated that II was not from girl
friend. II was written In clerical
hand, evidently by a young man whose
chlrography had not become set. MY
little girl was waiting for me at the
gate, and knew that her eyes were

street. Before reached her they were
big with expectancy. While had still

far for her to see the superscription,
and she was only partly treasured.
When she saw the youthful writing

Washington, June l6.-'T That the test
made ON the monitor Florida in Hamp-

highly satisfactory and will repay the
government a hundredfold is the opinion
expressed by Secretaries Metcalf and
Taft, who witnessed the test. Mr.. Taft
said:
1T has been the general belief that q
torpedo would sink a battleship, but the
test shows that such Is not the case.
The torpedo penetrated the half-inch

Mr. Taft was greatly impressed with
the new military mast on the Florida,
which had been tested recently with a
