Till each hut was still as q newly
made grave
AS the boys, filled with joy at the
gifts they. received,
Rugged them and kissed them, as
though they believed
Those gifts were most human. And
Santa looked on
Tight gripping his wheel and toot-
ing his horn,
Still bowing and smiling; then
turned to the right o..
And said "Merry Christmas" and
Ito all a good night"

JAKE MULVILLE

A telegram was received Wednes-
day by Mrs. Emma Ashton from her
son Jake Mulville saying he would
be home soon. At the time the tele-
gram was sent he was at Tacoma,
Wash.
The following story was taken
from one of the papers at Jackson
Vile, Fla, concerning Jake:
Wrestling Bout
Battling MsMann, of Chicago and
Sergeant Mullivlle of Idaho, an
swered the bell in the next fistic AZ
fair. Both men displayed great
ring mastership and boxed one Of the
neatest rounds for some time. The
next round was even better and Null
Vile found several openings left by
McMann and sent several crushing
blows to the midway.
The final round was hummer.
Their gloves few so fast that 1t was
almost impossible to follow them.
They both displayed ring science
that would make even Benny Leon
ard look envious. The crowd cheered
1.-THE fighters as they left the right
and were it not the fact that the
camp band played Star spangled
Banner, many soldier with sore
lhroat would have answered SICK
call in the morning. The bout was
so close that neither boxer could
have been given the decision. 1t was
the greatest Of the greatest bouts
that has ever been staged at any
camp or cantonment, and 1t was
worth the while to walk several
miles to see it.

Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the camp
Not a sound could be heard but the

With occasional snoring in good

And mothers preparing for the
