we heard Spike say, Throw out the

camels or fatimas, or whatever brand
it was. However, that being done
in friendly fashion the real fun de-
veloped when the same two proceed

shop. The patronage was not over
whelming but the entertainment
proved to be quite interesting and
the participants might readily have
passed as being fully decorated for
the most hideous Indian dance ever
calculated to inspire awe into the
minds of the enemy.

Lake Michigan, which comes sud-
denly into view as the train pulls in
to the G. &. N. w. depot at Mil

there then left for Chicago. 1t was
getting dark when we passed the
Great Lakes Training Station south
of Milwaukee, but we were able to
see that it is some place and few per-
haps realize it's great size. After a
ride of an hour everyone felt that
we must be close to Chicago, as we
seemed to be passing thru the out
skirts Of some city and the boys be-
gan to put on their overcoats, but
Spike" soon quieted them by asking
if they thought this was Chokio.
after leaving Chicago we discov-
cred that the sleeper reservations had
been "balled up and some were
forced to take berths in the state
room and some in the smoker. Morn
ing found us outside Of Indianapolis

with more falling. We all decided to

and there but by the time we got
shook around while curling our hair
and general primping we remem
bered our date with the Goddess of
Liberty and decided to continue our
journey.

coffee and a box lunch which had
been put aboard the train and we
didn't stop to auction off the box
lunch. We had some ride. The B.
