music came up to us like shout
of invitation.
Fifteen girls we're dancing, all
but three of them with soldiers.
Fully half the .crowd that stood
watching was olive-drab. Satur-
day night is the biggest night for
the army men.
The girls were all young; they
were dressed in everything from
"a pink party frock to MILDLY
blouse; and they danced as II
run by motors. The soldiers put
their whole energy into their
dancing; the sweat stood on their
faces and they breathed as II at
drill; but the girls kept up with
them.
Each girl carried a purse, usu-
ally business-like-looking leath-
er article, in the hand that rest
ed on the mans shoulder; and
between her fingers, held with
one end projecting conspicuously,
was ticket. Between the strid-
ing, dipping couples, lodging
them with the skill OF practice,
but maneuvering SO as to pass
close to each one, the floor mana
ger passed, collecting the tickets,
which he plucked from the girls
fingers as the turns of the dane
ers brought them within reach.
The music stopped. My eyes
happened to be on a girl in a
demure little black frock. Her
partners arm dropped from her
waist hastily, and he began hunt
ing In his trousers pocket. She
stood facing him, waiting. He
found a coin, gave it to her.. she
took 1t, and almost before she had
snapped her spurse smut. another
arm slipped about her, the music
began again, and she was off with
the new partner, her purse squeez-
ed against his shoulder and the
ticket sticking out between her
| fingers.

Black Cat, besides the dane

Civil war witnessed by President Lin

his friend Doctor Crawford to Fort

strife was in progress and he climbed
the rampant to look on. His tall, spare
figure was so conspicuous an object
for the enemy's bullets those about
him begged him to descend. He would
not, seeming to feel no fear and ex-
pressing sorrow for those engaged in
the struggle.
The danger to the president was
seen by his friends, gand General
Wright, who was in command of the
fort. went up to him and said:
"Mr. President, know that you are
commander Of the armies of the Unit

and as you are not safe where you

for your personal safety, order you
to come down."

consideration of my earnestness than
from inclination, stepped down and

NV of the military services Of the
" early days Of the countries,
there can be no denial to
Washington, ID. c., of the
honor of having the Oldest drummer
boy, living right within her bounds.
He beat. his drum in the United States

mer boys of the Civil war were not
heard of; he beat In Washington dur

stone Of the Washington monument
was laid. In fact, since he was seven
years old he has been under the finger
of Uncle Sam, answering his every
beck and call, and Is still answering IT..
This veteran is Jared Mundell Of
$40 n street southeast, and he is en-
plOyed at the Washington navy yard.
He is In charge of the museum con-
tanning hundreds of naval war relics
and trophies. dating from the Revolu-
tion down to the war with Spain. And
when reporter called on him for
some information about "his' museum
he got down his lists and read vari-
GUS articles cherished sentimentally
by proud government, and read from
them without the aid of glasses. Born
in Washir gton, ID. Co. December %
1880, he has claimed 1t as his resi-
dence ever since leaving it only "un-
der orders" to help in defending the
nation. He is member of Kit Car
son Post No. 2, G. A. r.
Mr.. Mundell has under his charge,
hundreds of relics and trophies, and
he watches over them every day, ex-
planning every phase Of the advance
of naval ordnance from the Revolution.
When but seven years old, the coun-
try was embroiled in the Mexican trou-
bles, and the then patriotic young Num-
dell was irhbued with the military
spirit. The marines which then gar
risoned Washington were needed at the
front. They were sent, and then they
needed more to garrison the post at
the capital. The officials were will
ing to accept young men for the post
there while the older and more trained
men went to the front. So. Mr.. Num-
deli enlisted as drummer boy. When
the regular garrison returned the
Youngsters were mustered out. But
Mr.. Mundell remained out only short
time. He liked the marine corps, so
well that he re-enlisted when he be-
came a few years older.
