doubt it wasn't one of us that
didn't think Of home and his last
Xmas eve. 1t made my mouth
water when | thought of Bicker-
staff's and Kings and those big
feeds, and mother with us. We
sat up watching for the Old Year
out and the New Year in. The
train accidently stopped by a large
cotton platform with many large
bales of cotton on it. So we
crawled out Of the windows
and danced on the cottonbales
and hollered all we wanted too.
We had regular Indian war
dance, everyone in for what he
could yell and dance. We were
Samies and could yell all we wish

The next morning we were in
Waco, Texas. To the looks of

Arthur, Geo. and | still together.
They marched us down to a GER
tain row of tents which went by
squadrons, and we were sent to
the 10Th, some to the 18th. Re-
veille was called and we all stood
while one of the officers
gave us talk. Then sent to a
long cook house where about $50
men could be feed at time. For
supper we had turkey even
though we came unexpected.
Those officers were very nice
fellows. That p. m. they present
ed us with a cot and bedtick to
be filled with straw, each man
setting up his own bed. Later
we were issued plates, cups, knife,
'ork and spoon. Plates are about
.en inches long and five wide,
with hinged arm snapped over
tightening a cover where knife,
ork and spoon may be kept from
lirt. This constitutes mess kit.
We have small funnel like stoves,
placed on some dirt held together

lights would clog up and nearly

en- the following;
"There are ulegitimate means by
which the President may influence
the action OF Congress. He may bar
gain with members not only with re-
gard TO appointments but also with
regard TO legislative measures. He
may use his local patronage TO as
stzt members TO get or retain their
seats. he may interpose his power
ful influence, in ono covert way or
another, IN contests for places IN the
Senate. ne may also overbear Con-
Eress by arbitrary acts which ignore
the laws or virtually override them.
He may even substitute his own ord
ers for acts Of Congress which he
wants but can not get. such things
are not only deeply Immoral, they
are destructive Of the fundamental
understanding Of constitutional gov
eminent itself. They are sure, more
over, IN country Of free public
opinion, to bring their own punish

nations: in other words that there should
be no discrimination against some ma
ton that did not apply to others"
