LUXURY IN THE BASTILLE.
The Famous French Prison During the
Reign of Louis Kill.

1t was during the reign of Louis
XIII. that the Bastille became recog-
nized al a prison. especially for nota-
BILE persons suspected of treachery
against the French government. Richie
lieu used it for the secure Judgment of
troublesome opponents. and during his
time the celebrated fortress became
tocracy.
Apart from the necessary restrictions.
Il stay in the famous prison of Paris
was little more than In agreeable d.
version. 1t seemed indeed as though
the king was determined to show his
for the comfort of his prisoners.
Money could buy in the Bastille all
the luxury that could be obtained out
side, and should a poor nan stray
within the impenetrable walls the king
was so eager to prove his hospitality
that he at once allowed him a reason
able pension. The rooms in which the
prisoners were confined were lofty and
well aired; the furniture was arranged
according to the taste of the occupant.
Nine. de Stael, for instance, hung
her walls with rich tapestries, and
many a distinguished culprit carried
with him to the Faubourg st. Antoine
his family portraits or a valuable
library.
Nor is it in the least significant that
the prison barber visited his patrons
every morning with a silver basin, per-
fumed soap and embroidered towels.
The best viands. well cooked. were
furnished to the better class of prison
ers, and at the close of the meals they
exchanged visits. played cards and
made the walls of the gloomy looking
prison ring with their merriment.

Once a year in this country comes a
test that cracks the nerves of men who

baseball madness advances into the

Over the entire stretch of wire from
the Polo grounds in New York to San

it cannot be broken by human agency.
All is ready. From Harlem to the
Golden Gate the strain Is at maximum;
men are tensed to action: the wire is
alive.

every man must be in at this time.
Taps, the last call, is the order for
lights out and the cessation of all
disturbances.
What the soldier eats is frequent
ly subject of much interest to civ
ilians, especially the folks back
home. The menu is prepared by the
mess sergeant from the list Of edi-
bleS furnished by the quartermaster's
department. A typical days menu
is as follows:
For breakfast-oatmeal with con.
densed milk, shoe string potatoes,
biscuits or white bread. butter. jam,
bacon and coffee.
For dinner-roast beef. boiled
white beans. creamed potatoes,
stewed corn. prune pudding, ice tea,
coffee, white bread.
For supper-baked beans, stewed
tomatoes. stewed onions, boiled rice.
butter. stewed peaches. cobbler, ice
tea, coffee.
SATISFIED WITH FOOD.
The mess sergeant is furnished
with a list of all groceries on hand
from which he orders. In case there
is sufficient demand for an article
of nourishing food not on the quar-
termasters list the sergeant includes
1t in his order and the commodity
will be substituted for some other
article for which there is a less de.
mand.
There is little complaint from the
men in the brigade stationed here
about food. Several OF the men
stated that it was much more
wholesome diet than they we're used
to at home. Frequently there is a
balance over the allowance of the
company which is given in cash and
usually used to purchase such arti-
cles as the men desire not on the
list. A mess sergeant of long expe-
rience stated that during his entire
experience, both in the regular army
and as a guardsman, there had
scarcely ever been month when
there was not a considerable bal
ance left for the purchase of deli
caCies.
A schedule has been arranged
whereby the band Of the Louisiana
regiment gives a concert for the
public at the bandstand On the bou-
levard on Wednesdays, the Oklaho-
ma band plays on Saturdays and
the South Dakota on Sundays. The
concerts in the various camps on
every other evening are open for
the public and the officers have in.
vited the citizens to attend.
The adjutant of the Oklahoma
regiment especially requested that
the fact be made known that that
regiment was no longer under quar-.
antine. During the quarantine, he
stated, many visitors were turned |
away. He issued a cordial invita-
ion to the public in general to at
end the concerts or visit the camp |

improvements of a more or less
permanent nature in the camps Of
the brigade stationed here are taken
by many of the soldiers and civil
ians as an indication of a long stay
on the border of the National
Guards.
Wooden floors are being placed
under the tents and many of the
officers quarters are being screened.
Work on the kitchens is progressing
rapidly and many are already in
service.

varied on Fridays, Saturdays and
Sundays. A big hike is generally
taken on Friday and none on Sat
urdays and Sundays.
On returning from the usual daily
drill the privateS are instructed by
corDorals in the various military
matters, such as drills. tactics, SAM
tary matters, etc. Mess call is
