In Camp, Deming, Nav Mexico
BY EDWARD FREEMAN.

Every GuardSman from Arkansas in camp here is very much pleased with the change. He is no longer worried with the hot sultry days and nights that he spent while at Fort Logan H. Roots But instead he has pleasant days and cool nights. The high at Inosphere and the water, which is very good, gives him an appetite that makes him eat anything that is put before him, and makes him enjoy it. He calls it good, gets up from the table gives a big Comanche yell and is ready to go at his work or drill whistling or jok- ing lis cOmrade.
 When speaking of going home now, the only desire is to be there for Xmas dinner. We all think Uncle Sam is preparing to keep us here some time. No Uncle could do more for his boys especially if he had as many as Uncle Sam has, than he is doing. First; the camp grounds have been drained, al though it doesn't rain much, and com pany streets laid off and graded. He is also having large kitchens and din ing halls built and screened. Second: Our tents are going to be floored and electric lights put in each tent. All this is enough to make any soldiers life. very much better.
 There is a disease that is common among the soldiers and especially when on guard duty and that is Sen tinel Rheumatismt It takes effect very quick and it's development is very rapid.
 Only few nights ago tall guards man, crept to his captain s tent with a heaven -is-my-home' expression on his face and said in whining voice: "Capt'n I'm just too sick to do any thing. Can't guard tonight, my legs hurt so bad and my right arm is swelled so bad
 The captain looked at him unsym- pathetic and said "arn't you crippled ilS the feet, cold for instance?'
 The poor fellow was sent on to guard. suffering eXcruciating pain. AL one o'clock in the morning, during his secoud beat, he saw, two lights on side of a mountain, eight miles away. In few minutes he heard noise in the cactus cnly few steps away. 1t wa3 Mexicans. He must give the alarm. Dropping his gun he ran to his captains tent and reported his dis foovery
 Why Sam," replied his captain, "1 Il ought you had rheumatism or even .,3oh.'
 Of course Sam had no reply, but ent back to his post entirely cured fsom his. severe suffering of only a few minutes before.

W nat Is that! lie dSked Ills cOn> feder&te.
 The other scrutinized it long and carefully, then replied, Tt must be an electric fan for the COWS The Deleware boys are not as large men as the Arkansas boys, and to the surprise to nearly every one are much darker complication. Two troopers
 were walking along the street of Dem-
 ing X conversation was overheard be- tween two girls. They referred to the
 men as one being white man, the other a "greaser." The people in Deming seem to be for Arkansas scld- iers.
 There is lots of joking i'll the com panies between the Arkansas boys, but not so much, scarcely any between Arkansas troops and Delaware troops. But here is a real joke that bunch of Deleware boys tried to pull on an Arkansas boy on the streets:
 ''The reason given by the Eeleware boys, of Arkansas troops being so late getting to the border was, That it re Guired ten days to get Us accustomed
 to wearing shoes , The witty Ark
 ansas lad replied that this might be so but blow handles were not put in the
 cars to make us feel at home.' The Delaware boys had nothing further to say anw were satisfied to let Arkansas rest
 There is much talk of our being sent
 to the border in a few days for patrol
 duty Thaa is the First Arkansas in, fantry. The First Arkansas belongs in the division with the Eighth Mass, which is on patrol duty now, and it is
 very likely we will be sent to relieve
 them. Almost every man is willing to go They desire to go and get into
 actual service. after being carried sa far. Each one is eager to receive the
 order to prepare for the hike to the front. which would require about two days It is thirty three miles and
 could be made in much less time if an
 emergency should arise.
 For the last few days we have had much fun breaking young mules and horses. The government received a train load of horses and mules, and
 gave us permission to work them so long as we treated them right. Many were successful and stayed on top. others were thrown and got their heads buried in the sand, while hun, dreds stood by and cheered. The machine guns for the Arkansas 1 Regiments have arrived, and the com> pany will be formed in the near future.
 Men have already been detailed to Ft, Bliss and Ft. Sill, to receive instruc- | tions in machine gun practice. Rock me away to the westward When the purple evening falls Like a veil from the face of heaven, 1 And the voice of the desert calls;
 With the lamp of the East red-burnlng Meath the myriad way of stars,
 And the spell of the night show steal ing
 There rift of golden bars.
 An, rock me away to the westward On the sea of desert lands, For my heart is ever crooning Ger the cradle of the sanes. Then blow me blast oNthe bngie

Oh sing me a song of gladness,
 And rock me away to the west; For my eyes are wide with long ng
 And I ache with the souls unrest. And my thoughts would sing their
 passage
 Across the fading blue. As birds of spring go hOming
 With every instinct true. RCck me away from the East.
 Away from the stranger lands And leave my heart to it's waking
 In the cradle of the sands. Then tell me a tale of the Rio Grande
 When the sun is sinking low, And Haunting it's wave of color In the evenings S afterglOW. Oh rock me away down ill the valley
 Towards the golden sunset shore: But halt at the days last given,
 And leave me evermorc In the arms of Uncle Sam
 At the tribal tent of peace; Where life has hushed it's longing
 And love has found SurceaSe. Where the dawn has no new sorrow,
 And the night has lost in sleep The trail of it's haunting shadow
 In the stiffness of it's deep. For my ear is faintly marking
 TC the murmur of the breeze That fans the shores of America
 And falters in the trees. It brings to me message
 Across the border lands, A whisper of the desert
 A-wooing of the sands; And l see the shining river A silent, gliding stream, Which threads the land of America With it's mocking silver gleam. Oh! Rock me away to America
 She beakons far to me And l know her heart is beating A soldiers reville-t And rock me ever so softly
 With the sway of gentle hands For my thoughts tonight are sleeping In the cradle of the sands.
