hop and the people were all charming,
cordial and courteous. as army people

Leavenworth hop arose at or 8
O'Clock the next morning to pursue
their usual duties and occupations.
Some of the student officers went out

them in the saddle most of the day,
and many of them had ridden thirty
| or forty miles the day before. There
are no scholars who study harder or
| more faithfully than these students of
| the art of war, which includes the
| sciences and the languages as we'll as
military tactics and all that sort of
| thing. AT an army post, as every
| where else. you find all the 81 differ
| ent varieties of women. Some were

| cause they were lue-stockings: one
| was studying Sanskrit and another Chi

| of money; others because they were
model wives and mothers. Although
there was stick in the punch. no.

! lemonade or H-two-O.. The best
| feature about life at the Post seems
| to. be that nobody locks their doors
The pure civilians who had heard

| life-both among officers and men
| were amazed when their hosts walked
out of their quarters leaving their
money and jewels and silver behind
and not bolt drawn nor a key
| turned.
