Uniform Unexpectedly.

Camp Mills as a member Of the Sixty
seventh Infantry, will soon be fighting

a bit. he didn't know but that he pre-
ferred the less congested and more sat

Private Picimil was regarded with a
great deal of respect by his two friends,
one of whom was an Italian and the
other a Russian. He has served two
years In the war, fighting with the army
of Montenegro against the Austrians
He explained with some difficulty that
he thought the habit OF drafting armies
has got abroad throughout all the world
He went into the Montenegro army under
draft proceedings, and thought when he
escaped with his skin from his native
principality that he would be safely out
OF draftings the rest OF his days.
BY stages he worked his way across
the sea to America and was picked up
by "A labor contractor and sent TO work
in the mines in Minnesota. That was i'm
