GROVER HOUSTON AND
FLOYD BINGHAM HOME
Two Members Of Second Regiment
Band Return Home, Having
Received Discharges.

Floyd Bingham, a member of the
Second Regiment band, and Grover
Houston, a cook for the band, are
home from Brownsville. both having
been among the married men to re-
ceive their discharges because of
having families dependent upon
them. In conversation with Mr..
Bingham this morning, he said they
were among about twenty-five or
thirty men who came to Des Moines
to receive their discharges, twelve
or thirteen of whom were members
of the Second regiment. The re-
mainder of the men We're from the
Third, no discharges having been
given any members of the First reg
iment as yet.
The weather where the boys are
in camp down in Texas is not nearly
as warm as it has been in this part
of the country. the warmest part of
the day being from II o'clock in the
forenoon till the middle Of the af-
ternoon. Then the gulf breezes cool
it off considerably and blankets feel
good at night. The boys like their
camp in Brownsville much better
than they did the one at Camp
Dodge.
Dan Lee, who also was a cook for
the band, has given it up and Roy
Remmey, one of the cooks for c
company, is now cooking for the
band boys. Floyd says all of the
boys in the company and the band
are well and happy, but he also said
that it seemed mighty good to be
back in Webster City.

The PRAYER of the Horse.

The following. prayer, clipped
from a newspaper, was sent to the
Freeman-Tribune by one of it's read
ers. If we remember rightly it APP
peared in these columns a year or
more ago but is we'll worth repeat
ing:
To Thee, My Master, Offer My
Prayer:
Feed me, water and care for me,
and when the days work is done
provide me with shelter; a clean,
dry bed and stall wide enough for
me to lie down in in comfort. Talk
to me. Your voice often means as
much to me as the reins. Pet me
sometimes, that I may serve you the
more gladly and learn to love you.
Do not jerk the reins, and do not
whip me when going up hill. Never
strike, beat or kick me when I do
not understand what you mean; but
give me chance to understand you.
Watch me, and if I fail to do your
bidding. see if something is not
wrong with my harness or feet.
Examine my teeth when do not
eat. may have an liberated tooth,
and that, you know, is very painful.
Do not tie my head in an unnatural
position or take away my best de-
Tense against flies and mosquitoes by
cutting off my tail.
And finally, Oh my master, when
my useful strength is gone, do not
turn me out to starve or freeze, or
sell me to some cruel owner to be
slowly tortured and starved to
death: but do thou, my master, take
my life in the kindest way and your
God will reward you here and here
after. You may not consider me ir-
reverent if ask this in the name of
Him who was born in stable. Amen.

For the Mail Carriers.

Just to keep the mail carriers busy
this dull season of the year, mail
order house in Chicago, whose pub
LEGATIONS as given preference over
the Bible in some homes, has sent
about fifty mail sacks of catalogues
for the perusal of the people in this
vicinity. 1t is quite an inspiring and
surprising sight to see the large pile
of the catalogues waiting for the
carriers to make disposition of them.
This is an annual practice with the
mail order houses, millions of these
catalogues being sent broadcast ov-
err the country every fall.

the party, including the cook and
porter, it can be seen that conditions
are not oyercrowded.
1t is indeed revelation to see the
and the extreme care that is exer-
cised. even in small matters. But it
is the intention of the commission
to have these reports absolutely ac-
curate, and the men are surely COM
plying with the requirements.
