D Hut Stunts.

Long before o'clock the boys were
In their places waiting for the big
treat which was In store for all. It
was announced that, the record in
our hut for Ginning the cross bar
was sixteen times.
So they were off. About thirty of
the boys took a try at the coveted
prize. Some went fifteen times and
gave up. It was left for Parker of
Company 3. AT, L. Battalion. to tie
the record. He went sixteen times,
and, amid the applause and shouts Of
the boys calling to him to go one
more, he started up for the seven
teenth, got half way up. kicking his
feet. working his ears. nose and
mouth to no avail. He just couldn't.
Rope climbing certainly came in
for some good. wholesome fun. Some
OF these boys would be quite useful
at IRE. because they can actually
run up rope. This prize was won
by Joe Carson Of Company b. 35Oth
Labor Battalion. The one-le9 race
was so close that the judges decided
that out of the ten contestants six
were tied for first place, so the Y gave
. them each a good. mild, harmless ci-
gar, bought at the canteen.
Next came the boxing contest. Kid
Cotton OF Labor aBttalion. Company
b. AIT. had come out to take the
scalp Of Terry Jones of the same
company. They both possessed skill,
foot work, science and plenty Of en-
durance. The judges are still trying
to decide the winner.
The bout between Wilson. better
known as Shorty. against Parker Of
Company b. AIT. L. B.. was really a
side-splitter. They laid aside sci
ence and skill and from the sound
OF the whistle began to swing madly
at each other. They hit every
thing except each other They hit
the floor. rope. post. referee and the
ttmekeeper. They have agreed to
meet again Friday night.
The grand contest of the evening
was q guessing game. In a glass
jar were q number of little blocks
Each man was allowed one guess.

chance. Corp. Brandon Of Labor Bat.

had been dead too long for me to
fetch him to the captain, no matter
how willing / was. Lieut. Moore was
for a couple Of doctors right away
and Lieut.. Bradley said som ething
about a nurse friend at the base hos
pital coming in handy. while Lieut..
Holcomb remarked that he once heard
that you had to hog-tie 'em when they
got real bad. Finally Lieut.. Peter
son sent me over to the supply office
to have Lieut.. Benignus join the COM
mittee.
I found Lieut.. Benignus trying to
locate a pair of number eleven socks
on his monthly returns. He was work.
ing hard. but when explained that
the captain was in pretty bad shape
he grabbed his Stetson and returned
with me.
Slowly we all fled into the orderly
room. The moment the captain set
eyes on me he began to make un-
Quotable remarks about Napoleon not
being there. Lieut.. Peterson was just
beginning to attempt to pacify the
captain when Lieut.. Benignus re-
marked:
Captain. did 1 hear you mention
Napoleon" and as the captain nod
ded the lieutenant continued, you
know. I've had more trouble with that
horse than anything else in this Army,

would always be the officer and give
military fashion.
When the Officer shouted Forward,
march," the brothers right. shouldered
arms and marched out on the stage.
At the command "Haltw their heels
clicked together and they came to
order arms with such snap as to, set
the audience laughing and applauding
loudly. which applause was repeated
at every pause during their program.
To wind up the program Russell
and Dick stood retreat" Russell
blew the call on his bugle, while Dick
stood at parade rest. Then Russell
blew ITO the colors' with Dick at
present arms" When the applause
let up a bit Russell blew mess call"
and Dick ran off the stage as fast as
any hungry soldier runs when he
hears that call. When the program
was over the soldiers always gath
cred around the stage in great num-
bers and the brothers went through
their stunts, with a few additional
f1ourishes, many times over.
Besides his brother Dick, Russell
leaves behind him his elder brother,
Sergt. Ira Boucher Of the 111th Field
Artillery Band, now in France, and
his father and mother, Adjt and Mrs.
Ross Boucher.
Russell was buried in Woodlawn
cemetery, near Baltimore. An Amer
lean flag covered the casket, and Corp.
Rife Of Casual Company, No. 1, OF the
Tanks Corps, sounded taps" just be-
fore the little bugler was lowered
into his last resting place.

Many a soldier Of the 10th and 18th
divisions will be shocked to learn that
Russell Boucher of the Salvation Army
hut died at the base hospital of pneu-
monia Tuesday morning, March Is.
Russell and Dick. his younger
brother. have been great favorites
with the men Of Camp Meade ever
since the Salvation Army hut was
erected at Odenton. a year ago last
November. The hut was always open
with a warm welcome for soldiers,
and many were the soldiers who
slipped in at all hours Of the day and
night for some of those famous Sal
walton Army doughnuts and an hour
of good cheer. The sunshine" OF the
place day and night was Russell and
Dick, who kept the soldiers laughing
from morning until night with their
soldiers could go through the manual
of arms as perfectly as could Russell
and Dick. They were the apt pupils of
many ardent teachers. Nothing pleased
an old drill sergeant more than to
show these boys some Of the really
fine points of the game.
It Is estimated that Russell and
Dick sang, played, drilled, wrestled
and boxed before 10000 men OF the
18th Division and before nearly as
many men of the 18th Division. They
performed in every Y. M. c. A. hut
twice while the 18th Division was
here, and once in every hut during
the stay of the 18th Division. Dick

How SPENCER LOST
HIS WAY IN FRANCE

Private Herbert Spencer of the
ASST Machine Gun Company embark
ed for France with his company on
June 10. 1913. One dark and rainy
night the company was loaded into
large trucks. which went sloshing and
slipping through the mud to the
trenches. The Germans had the range
Of the road and shelled 1t frequently.
When within q few hundred yards Of
their object point they were ordered
out Of the trucks. formed into line and
continued the Journey on foot. He
and two companions sticking close to.
gether slipped down an embankment
and landed in a hole about three feet
deep. They scrambled out and to the
road again as quickly as they could.
Spencer was covered with mud from
head to foot and wet through to the
skin. How he longed for the good old
U. 8. A. When the three unfortunate
ones had reached the level ground
s sesr TSey plodd sSpi0 on not Attss

realized that they were lost from

Were they scared? You bet. Who

land, stumbling along through a
muddy region, while the rain beat
down on them in a steady stream
Poor Spencer felt that he sure was
out Of luck.
Midnight found the lost ones MAX
ing their precarious way through q
dense woods. Suddenly. in the dis
lance. they heard the sound Of some
one approaching. "It Is the Germans"
they thought. What should they do?
Crouching behind a bush they awaited
the coming Of the unknown ones.
Slowly the footsteps drew nearer and
nearer. BY this time our boys real
ICED that only one person was APP
preaching. Standing erect they watt
ed until he had reached their hiding
place and then sprang upon him. He
was thrown to the ground. Spencer
was Just about to throttle him, when
the prisoner began to speak frantical.
" In French. Recognizing the
language, the boys arose, struck q
match and then saw that their captive
was a French soldier. They were over
joyed withReli and In broken French
explained their predicament to him. It
happened that he was a member Of
the Outht which was to be relieved by
the machine gun company. The
Frenchman soon led them to the allied
lines. Spencer says that there wasn't
happier fellow than he when he
nnally re1oined his company.

THE QUICK AND THE DEAD.
BY ROBERT ID. GOODWIN.

The fact that captains aren't in the
habit of playing FRANKS upon en-
listed men and that it wasn't April /.
nor the weather warm enough to pro-
duce brain fever, that was responsible
for the following story.
It was one of those pre-spring days
when every one about the 18th Com
pany was taking turns re-damning
the ex-kaiser and wishing for can
Of worms and a place to cast a few.
1 was buried in the midst of vivid
article relating the effects Of shell
shock upon it's victims when Capt.
Frank A. Heating. at present in COM
mand of the 18th Company OF the
brigade, but who until recently was
in command Of a unit of the 18th d.
vision. rushed in and, in his matter
of-fact way. said:
present my compliments to Lieut..
Benignus and say that I wish him to
send Napoleon here Immediately"
