mer and Ben Roy, which were publish

coast artillery corps. 1t does not
specify TIN number of hours to be de-
voted daily to artillery and infantry
work. This is left 10 the, local author
sfies and the following is taken from
paragraph tour % of the Coast Ar
tillery Instruction order: The coast
defender commander will prescribe &c
sch ID for daily instruction and will
b. responsible that his is eff
'hcient in the subjects enumerated to
all"
The boys from Hammond and the rest
OF the recruits at this fort are at pres
ent undergoing intensive infantry
training and learning the requirements
of real soldering. This with a view

Obituary
e

In memory OF little Jennie Wells.
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ray A. Wells,
who died one year ago today:
Some day we are sure we shall find her,
But, the road is so lonesome between.
Our spirits grow sick and impatient
For q glimpse of the pastures so
green.
Till then we shall sit in the doorway
In the hour that the heart loves best,
And think when the children pass home
ward.
our child will come with the rest.
And yet our little girl comes not.
And we think she has missed her way
And strayed from this cold, dark
country
To one of perpetual day.
We think that the angels have found
her.
And loving her better than we.
Have begged the Good Father to keep
her.
Right on through eternity. SILL
