the matter was it was settled, then and
there.
We all remember our joy and feel
ling Of satisfaction on his return from
leave a few weeks ago, feeling that
whatever our troubles may be, that now
they would be taken care of by him.
ut Is fitting, indeed, that this SO.
ciety composed of the oldest and most
reliable noneommissioned officers and
men should seek a lasting memento of
that colonel, to whom their aims, their
aspirations, their happiness and con
tentmept have been his constant watch.

At the conclusion of the address, the
painting, which had been concealed be-
hind d drapery of silken flags, was un,
yelled by Edward Harrigan, past com
marder Of tho camp, and was greeted
with a storm of long continued applause.
When Colonel MeGunnegle rose to re-
ply, he was visibly affected, His usual
easy, hnent manner of speech was lost
in a food of emotion, and when he re-
piled he spoke from his heart without
attempt to marshal his thoughts or
words. He said: |s
Comrades, Commander and Ladies': 1
have, | feel, great trepidation in at
tempting an answer. My heHTt is too
full, but I can't help but thank you
for this beautiful tribute and say L
appreciate it. ! will always appreciate
IL, that the memory of it will be ever
craven ON my heart in letters of gold.
% In speaking of the regiment, Major
Tayman has given me too much credit.
| don Z believe that I have done half
as much for the regiment as the regl-s
ment has done for itself. think the
regiment is like one of those self-aotihs
machines that goes on forward without
any real guiding hand almost as well as
with one and l think it is greatly due,
TO the splendid noncommssioned officers
that-we have in the First Infantry, L
think they are the bulwark of our regi-
ment, as fine a body of men MS, have
ever heard of or seen, and hope that
You viii all feel as. you looh upon that
picture that You are looking upon the
face of your best friend, one who in
every way is and ever shall be inter
ested in your welfare and viii ever be
happy, TO know of your success and
prosperity. Again, thank you"
