Some OF the men had to be taught
how to put II bride on their horse, and
practically all Of them needed inStruc-

to do this unassisted were those who
have been in camps before with the

regiment.
When you get up In the morning
After hours OF gay delight
And you're thinking OF old Broadway,
With Its gay Inc glittering light.
Just sit down and write a letter
To some homesick soldier boy,
For to him there's nothing better
Than a little note of JOY.
When you've had your lunch at Sherry's
And are lingering Ger the wine
And you're tired of life and living
And think the world unkind,
Just take up you pen and paper,
Write about the girls and boys.
For the soldier lad waits eager
For his little note OF JOY.
All, there's many a lad gets gloomy
When the letters fail to come:
| can see 1t in their faces
This and that and tother one
For they have as many worries
For the folks back home, you see.
AS the folks back home have worries
For the boys OF Company G.
So just scribble something cheerful
When IL comes to you at night
Or I'm the early morning.
When the sun is shining bright.
But be sure the old pen staggers
just with news to cheer the boy.
For the soldier lad who's waiting
For his little note of joy.

Letter From Border.

Camp Wilson, Fort Sam Houston,
San Antonio, Tex.-Private lverson OF
the Sixth Illinois squad caught a tar
antula when he opened up the squad
surplus kit bag. This was the first
tarantula that we had seen since be
ing here, and as we had been warned
about them the capture OF this n
caused considerable excitement.
Captain Wagner told us all about
this species OF spider from his own
experience with them during the cam
paign OF 1898 In Cuba during the
Spanish-American war. He tied a
string around the body OF our prize
In this instance and has 1t fastened
TO a peg outside of his tent on Officers
row. where the boys can satisfy their
curiosity.
1t brings a chill over one to cast a
glance at this fellow we have. His
legs open four inches when extended.
The results OF a bite from him are
too sickening to imagine.
One day a detail of four men from
our company, In charge Of Corporal
Peters, were assigned TO erecting a
new tent for General II. Jack Foster
OF the First brigade. We had to un-
load about twelve pieces of tentage
from an army supply wagon II had
to open up each piece 10 choose "A per
feet tent for the general.
In opening up the tents we came
across several scorpions of full grown
size and several smaller ones. The
boys On the detail were frightened Mt
seeing so many OF these ~treacherous
insects at one time. and we were all
afraid TO continue handling these can
vases. We went ahead. though, and
put up a tent for the general, and he
complimented us on the work that
we did.
To see a crew of former pencil push
ers from offices of large business houses
back I'm lear old Chicago get down to
the hard work OF a soldier and to see
them make good against the terrible
heat Is proof OF what our boys are
made of.
liz the fever or pneumonia don't get
us or III we can kill the scorps or tarans
before they bite us we will think our
selves lucky and know that we can be
real soldiers. Yours respectfully,
PRIVATE w. HELWIG.
