Business IA; Western Is.

Business and Western played a fast
and furious game in the second game
of the double bill. II was nip and tuck
all the way through the game.
Both teams showed good basketball,
and the passing was very good for this
early in the season. Very few fouls
were committed by the two teams and
had little to do with the final result OF
the contest.
Business registered two baskets from
the floor and one from the foul mark.
In the first half. while Western dur
ing the same time was shooting four
baskets from the floor and one from
the 15-foot circle.
The Stenographers showed improved
form, and kept the Red and White
from scoring but one basket from the
floor, while the Orange and Blue Gagged
four baskets with a free toss.

Technical, IL; Eastern, 6.

Technical kept Eastern so well
guarded that II only had three clear
shots at the basket, one in the hrst
half and two in the second, which
netted the boys from the hill their
points. The Manual Trainers passed
the ball well and displayed good team
work. The guards worked the ball
down the floor to the forwards who
were TO make shots for the basket
Eastern had a tendency to take long
chances for the basket The team
uassed the ball well. but once the men
worked the ball down the moor the
player was not in position TO snoot
the basket and the little light Blue
and White team lost several chances
to score points in this way.
Tech scored ten points in the nrst
half. four of them resulted from
baskets from the floor and Gosneii
shot six fouls for the other six points,
In the last half three baskets were
registered with one foul. whlch
brought the total up TO seventeen.

Our Writer in France
BY Sgt. f. G. Kutnewsky

Saumur, Oct. 1913.
Dear Mrs. Trego:
I don't believe I ever felt more
contented in my life. l am full to
the limit of my capacity of good
bread pudding. I am at home on my
bunk writing by candle light. The
electrics over here are very shy.
They stay on just enough of the time
to be tantalizing-so we have a sup
ply of candles on hand always.
Candles cost IL cents apiece. Prices
are very various here. / paid rs
cents for a tablet of white paper the
other day. Newspapers are cents.
All day today, our first Sunday,
this barrack room has been the scene
of great argument and puzzled alter
cation over a problem of artillery
fire that was given us to hand in
Monday. Some of the men have not
had firing data before, and believe
me during this last week We have
been handed enough information in
big chunks to make ones head
swim. There is an enormous lot to
be learned before giving single di-
rection to battery Of artillery. Our
classes commence at seven in the
morning and close at $50, with in
tervals of Is minutes, first lecture,
then gun drill, then a class, then
some morse or physical drill, then
equitation, and now and then half
day out in the country doing practi-
cal exercises in reconnaissance,
studying the terrain, locating points
Of the map, drawing sketches. We're
busy all Of the time and happy.
Evenings we must be in barracks,
studying or resting, by 8 o'clock. So
during the week our only liberty per-
iods are at meal times, an hour and
half or two hours, dinner and sup
per.
Everybody is full Of pep. They all
come here to learn all they can, and
the spirit of this whole big war col
lege is dig, dig, dig. Ordinary col
leg is by comparison sort of kinder
garden, holiday period.
The main building here is the old
French cavalry academy, huge pile
with two protruding wings, forming
large court, where we stand roll
call formations morning and evening
and make the old sober walls re-
sound with yelps that once were sim
liar to the word here"
And you should see us eat. It's
a shame too, in a land depending
upon imports for food. But our ap-
petites have no conscience and SEEM
ingly no limits. The nation is ex-
ceptional for an army institution.
We are a bit held back on bread, but
nothing else. The mattresses earn a
days pay bringing us one meal I'd
say.
believe you'd enjoy having a
bunch of these boys in for lunch. The
accent is softly southern to quite a

every state. And some of your south

THE FLU

When your back is broke and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred,
And your tonsils squeak and your
hair gets dry,
And your dogdone sure that you're
going to die,
But you're skeered you won't and
afraid you will.
Just drag to bed and have your chill,
And pray the Lord to see you thru,
For you've got the flu, boy,
You've got the flu.
When your toes curl up and your
belt goes flat,
And your twice as mean as Thomas
cat,
And life is a long and dismal cruise,
And your food all taste like a hard
boiled hearse;
When your lattice aches and your

as my friend of the next bunk here
from Chicago, man of about seven
feet altitude, who is stranger to
both horse and bicycle both of which
must be mastered.
The men who come here are GER
tainly on the job. They are always
studying and in classes If ones at
tention wanders but for brief few
seconds something or other will be
lost. There is need for but little re-
petition and the instructors step right
along. 1t is an experience worth
having to see two or three hundred
men in hall tensely absorbed in
hearing every word of some French
captain, upon an ordinary dry, dull
subject such as the effect of atmos-
phere upon the flight of various pro-
jectiles.
In this school sick men will not
give up, but cling to their classes
until they are down. But we're for
the most part a very healthy bunch.

After our first and hardest week
was over, last evening a large porpor-
ton of us went down town and filled
the cafes. There were all sorts of
military present: French majors
and an American captain or two, lieu
tenants, many candidates or "aspir-
ants as the French call us, and a
few old historic Frenchmen. O yes,
and a few pretty girls, making eyes
at American captains. And we all
slipped our favorite wine or beer and
our minds unbended from the angu-
lar course Of artillery terms and
methods. We were completely at
our ease.

DEATH OF COLONEL ELLSWORTH

The following poem was composed
during he Civil war and was in men,
DRY of Colonel Ellsworth.
Col. Ellsworth was cousin of Mrs.
NJ. E. Chute OF Blackfoot, Route 4.
Mrs. Chute has two sons in the ser
vice at the present time. r
Tho poem is sung to the tune of
Aud Lang Syne:
True Lnicn men attention give!
Ill sing solemn lay,
In memory of a much loved one,
Slain in the month of May;
File was his fathers only son,
His 'nCther's oh]y joy,
They weep, they mourn thai he is
Young Ellsworth is no more.
Young Ellsworth Is no more.
They weep, they mourn, that he is
gone.
Young Ellsworth is no more.
Along the broad Potomac shore,
His patriot band was camped,
In sight of that now sacred spot
Where lies our Washington.
To arms! to arms! my gallant boys,
Well cross this noble stream,
Tear down that flag that floats so
proud,
And raise the Stars and Stripes.
And raise the Stars and Stripes.
Tear down that flag that floats so
proud,
And raise the Stars and Stripes.
He landed just beneath it's folds,
And grasped his faithful sword,
Cut down the flag that cost his life,
And cast this land in gloom.
Young Brownell met his treacherous
foe,
And laid him cold in death;
He raised his loved one in his arms,
And bore him to his home.
And bore him to his home.
He raised his loved one in his arms,
And bore him to his home.
Cut off in all the prime of youth,
This noble Ellsworth fell,
Slain by treacherous traitors hand,
Hark! hear his funeral knell.
l die, die, he nobly said,
But in a glorious cause, :,
In exercise of freedoms rights,
My country and her laws.
My country and her laws.
In exercise of freedoms rights,
My country and her laws.
Although he's dead, he speaks aloud,
True Union man, to thee; ~ :.
Arise! Columbia's sons, arise!
In all your majesty
Protect your country and her cause,
Come to the rescue, come.
We're bound to put all traitors down,
Arise! protect your homes.
Arise! protect your homes.
We're bound to put all traitors down,
Arise protect your homes.
Our flags insulted, friends are slain,
And must we quiet be?
No! no! we'll rally round the flag
Which leads to victory.
Our flag, the glorious Stars and
Stripes,
Forever must she wave,
Where true men live and die each
day,
Their country for to save.
Their country for to save.
Where true men live and die each
day.
Their country for to save.
