Two Men.
(RUBY ELIZABETH HINEs)


"How much can get?' a young
man said:
The morning of life was fair,
And the things to have and the
things to hoard
Were glittering everywhere.
Its every man for himself, "
said he,
And I'm going to have my
share"
"How much can l give a young
man said:
The morning of life was fair,
And the things to do and the
things to be
We're reckoning everywhere.
Its every man for his brother,
said he,
''And I'm going to do my
share" "
At last, as the evening shadows
fell,
A millionaire lay i'll,
Served and tended by hireling,
Unerring and deft and chill:
And those who knew him and
loved him not
But they wanted his money SOL
And they waited and fretted and
sighed and said:
why doesn't he hurry and
go?"
At last as the evening shadows
fell,
A penniless man lay i'll,
Watched and tended by loving
hands,
And their voices were husheC
and still;
And pale and saddened, the!
wept and said:
I'VE cannot let him go!
If God would but spare him a few
years more
Because we need him so. -

1S.-The person seeking the wild.

Camp Lewis, where hundreds of
cowboys have been drawn into th@
army from many sections of the west.
Most of thsse men have been as
signed 10 he remount depot or other
organizations where knowledge of
horses and animals is invaluable.
For more than a year there was
not a courimartial aginst the records
Of The remount depot, record held by
but few organizal lions of its size in
camp.
In many other ways The cowboys
and men from other walks of life
serving at The remount depot have
sci a mark for the rest of The camp.
The remount assembly hall is one of
the best in camp and on its walls
hang thousands of dollars worth Of
paintings of western life donated BY
western artists. Other fixtures and
brio -brac also give hint from
whence the remOuni men are drawn,
such as Indian relics. finely carved
SdddleS anu SILVER iHouH'eu DIiuie IN
tings.
The assembly hall is the social
gathering place of the men, but the
remount officers also have recep-
ton room in their quarters that also
breathes the western spirit.
With the idea in view, the depot
will be a permanent feature of Camp
Lewis even after peace is declared.
