From Camp Jossman, Philippine
Islands, comes calendar, which we
suspect was sent by our friend, Evert
Marlin. A chromotype illustration
depicts native fruit vendors with some
large green concerns hanging to the
end of poles-green enough to cause
bellyache--and perhaps that is the
matter with the two gentlemen in the
picture. The lady standing near by
should not be confused, however, with
this insinuation, as her smile is as ex-
pansive as that of our COW when she
sees bucket of bran coming her way.
The scene is distinctly Philippinian,
and will be preserved as remem-
brance of one of Uncle Sans soldier
bows in a distant country. 1t was
mailed Dec. 10, t91t, and reached us
Tuesday, Jan. %, 1912, which is some
travelling.
