ST. CLOUD. Fla,
March 3.
Pm:
Friend Joel left Newark the first
week in February to come down here
for my health and l am doing fine.
There are about 500 war veterans
here and | am right at home with
them. A dedication of the new G. A.
r. Hall here took place the third
day of my stay, after which there
line, the colonel put a badge on me
and told me to join in the ceremony.
said that l had not been to the
war, but was married couple of
times. and he replied That's good
enough, fall in." SO / fell in just
ahead of fifty old ladies. / think
they called them Daughters of the
Revolution" Then to the martial
music of three pipers, two drummers
and a bass drummer, we marched
through the town and out on the
land roads outside of the city. After
walking about half an hour, ] grew
tired, but not one had fallen out-no,
not even the ladies-and l decided to
stick.
The next day l started to pitch
quoits and a veteran, eighty years
of age, defeated me, but / continued
to play every day-for a week-until
had every one beaten, including
the champion-a young fellow of sew
entytwo years of age. This victory,
of course, led to a return challenge
hi f100-ir1 nj
money they had in the South before
the war We played a fifty point
game and l won, so to AZ. They placed
a badge on me and when l got home
read the inscription on it. To my
surprise it was a lifesaver'S badge
which one of the vets had received
about fifty years ago. At first I
thought it was for life saving, as
had saved quite a few lives,
although | had to send to Tampa and
Jacksonville for the material to do 1t.
Why, this place is so dry that a half
dozen camels would make desert
out of 1t in short order, but the eli
mate is simply grand-7S in the shade
and to think after watching the
boys and girls in bathing, / go to
the postoffice and get the Evening
Star and read about billiards. and
zero weather up North.
The second day here I visited an
osteopath by the name of Buckmas-
ter. He is only a little fellow, but
he has the strength of a bull. The
first day he got a stranglehold on me
and nearly broke my neck. / laid for
him the next day. After he had
me for about fifteen minutes
he placed me on a chair, sideways,
and folded my hands behind my neck,
after which he got behind me, put
his arms through mine and threw his
weight on my neck. / duclled tow
ards the floor, however, and over
went Doc. | called it a fall, but he
claimed a foul. After cracking my
neck, he started on me again. few
days later he punched my ribs,
cracked my shoulders and knees and
turned me on my face. getting on top
of me with his knees in the small of
my back, digging them in as hard
as he could. He then got me by the
shoulders and pulled and pulled. |
stood it as long as | could and then
raised upon my knees and with a
punch I again sent the Doc flying
for another fall.
But he has me going good and be-
tween Doc and the climate here, ]
feel like a new man. While | am hay
ing a great time with the veterans
