shoeshine Scoops Pennies.
II there is one officer in the Sd
Regiment who gets more satisfaction
out of a shoeshine. it is First Lieut..
Joe r. Mickey of Company B. Most of
the shoe-shining in camp is done by
Mexican boys. They appear to have a
monopoly on this trade.
While the oe-shining process is
under way, the recipient of the shine
usually exercises his Spanish on the
unfortunate "shiner." who has to kneel
before him and listen to it all or lose
the business. No matter if militia
man murders "Carranza's Spanish" the
'shoeshine" has to stick to his job
Lieut.. Mickey is about the only officer
in the regiment who speaks Spanish
Huently. lie spent several years in the
Philippines. and has mastered much of
the Spanish language. Every time he
gets shoe-shine he holds an extended
conversation with the Mexican boy
who happens to be doing the work.
He learns all of the latest news of the
MeX-American circles of San Antonio,
and also chats about the weather
The other day am amusing incident
took place when the lieutenant's daily
shine had been completed. He handed
the boy a twenty -five-cent piece and
received twenty pennies as change.
Pennies are few and far between" in
this land and no one has much use for
them. They are practically no good to
you unless you nave ut least i've OF
them. for penny articles are not nu-

When the shoeshine saw frown come
over the lieutenant's face as he hand
ed the twenty pennies. he Immediately
made a proposition to the officer
I'll match you for the pennies if you
don't want them, mister said the lad
as he packed up his shining equipment
in his box. Perhaps the lieutenant will
win back the ive. / have and if he
does | will exchange for the quarter"
