BellluB inuNh praise as n ldSl ana
good worker. His duties take him
outside OF the tent much Of the time
and he was so sunburned yesterday
that il was painful for him to work.
Most of the men are sunburned. The
Delaware river nearby affords
place for swimming. The men take
dip after drill at 4.30 o'clock Some
times there are more than a hundred
enjoying a swim at the same time.
While swimming yesterday. Joseph
Ray, of Company G, cut his leg on a
piece of copper wire, but not ser
ously.
A number Of recruits were enlisted
in camp yesterday, and these are
given directions, upon arrival, man
ual OF arms, loyalty, military cour-
tesy and discipline, satluting, courte-
sizes to an officer, conversation with
an officer, etc. An interesting story
concerning a recruit brought into
camp yesterday is being related by
the men. The recruit was an Irish
man, and what proved to be humOr-
GUS was his lack of knowledge OF the
proper names Of the various details
of camp When handed his bedsack,
which is a large pillow filled with
straw for the bed, he wanted to know
if that was to sleep in, or to keep his
/ clothing in. He termed his rifle a
pistol, his bayonet "sard" (sword).
And when asked If he could fight,
said. Did ye ever see an Irishman
that couldnt?" He is popular al
! ready.
In camp there are six scoutmasters.
They are: Leighton l.. Dorsey. Scout
master Padolosky. Of Troop No. 2S;
Parker, No. 30; Smith, No. 81; James
Morford. No 2; Ford Phillips, No. 16,
and Scoutmaster Yetter. They are
forming an organization in camp
among themselves.
While everyone was sleeping yes
| terday morning Corporal Smiths tent
caved in, leaving the men struggling
under the canvas trying to find way
out This was caused by the center
pole giving away.
The keenness with which the
boys" anticipate service against the
Mexicans is shown by expressions
heard in camp.

ex-POliceman William l.. Head, is do

lO'Neil, for a number of years coach
