About FL Paso.
Ell Paso is pretty town. 1t is a
regular bungalow town. The bunga-
low, mostly built of stone or brick. is
the prevailing type of residence and it
seems to fit into the landscape as no
other type of house does. The bust
ness houses are unusually handsome.
Many new sky-scrapers are in process
of erection and many of those already
here are of recent construction. You
bump up against evidences of large
wealth every way you turn in Ell Paso.

with strange people. A very large per-
centage is Mexican. In fact, if you
count out the soldiers, a majority of
the people you meet on the streets
are Mexican. The women wear their
mantillas of black, ranging from coarse
cotton in quality to filimsy black lace.

means that they are almost every

Resort for "Lunqers."
The barren hills round about Ell Faso
are covered with sanatoria for the
treatment of tubercular cases. This is
a very famous resort of ''lungers" and
there are thousands of them here.

Villa raided this place at one time
and traversed the site where now TO-
900 troops are camped.
The boys here have found much to
interest and amuse them since arriv-
ing here. They have not caught any
rattlers, nor have they been horned
by any vicious horned toads, but they
have been on guard every minute. An
amusing thing happened few nights
ago in the big orderly tent at head
quarters A Pennsylvania soldier had
advised all of the boys to be careful
about rattlers and if they woke up
with a RATHER curled up on their
breasts, not to stir, for to stir meant
death That story, as has already been
related in these chronicles created
profound impression. Therefore, when
Orderly Mccall was aroused the other
night by something moving on his
cot not far from his face. he was liter
ally terrified He stood it as long. as
he~ could and reached out a cautious
exploring hand. When it came in con-
tact with something cool and moist
and that something drew away quick
lv. Mack struck out with all of his
might and rolled off his cot. He learn
ed that he had struck General Prices
pet Chihuahua dog an awful blow and
was much relieved. 1t was the dogs
nose he had touched. General Price
had left the dog with one of his order
lies and the orderly had gone away
and left him. The dog had come to
Mack for companionship and comfort.
Wanted to Go Home.
Quite an interesting character was
Private Moore of the quartermaster
CORDS. whom the Tar Heel boys found
in charge of the mules at headquar-
tiers. When the First Pennsylvania
Brigade was ordered home Moore had
been expecting to go with it. In fact,
he had been promised transfer so
that he could go, but at the last minute
he was informed that the transfer
would not be permitted. Moore was
in angry rebellion at once and on the
verge of tears with it. He explained
to the boys that he had baby boy
at home that he had never seen and
that he could not stand it down here
another minute. He told the boys that
he had made up his mind to go home
and his plan was to be the last to store
his wagons on the cars, stock the
wagon with provisions and get inside.
The worst thew could do with him
