Happiness.

1t Is almost entirely the individ-
ual's fault If he is not happy, for hap
piness Is a cast of mind. One of the
greatest Of all poets says: "There
Is nothing either good or bad"-in
this world-"but thinking makes 1t
So" Happiness resides not in the
pocket nor even in the bodily health,
but In our mental attitude to our sur
roundings, and In conrentment with
our lot. We cannot entirely govern our
surroundings, but each of us Is cap
tain of his own soul. Thapk God for
what you have .got.--Sir Alfred Fripp.

value Of transportation systems
that will carry a man or a cargo

country. They have consulted
the needs of various markets and

him in the manner most con-

having been appointed brigadier
general Of volunteers on May II.
The organization was started at
Fort Hamilton, N. Y. Each COM
pany had a small nucleus Of old
soldiers who had served at least
one enlistment. The officers were,
as a rule, young men from twenty
to twenty-five, most Of them quite
green in the profession Of arms.
A school was established and the
strictest discipline enforced. There
was much enthusiasm and rapid
progress was made.
On March the first battalion.
7S9 strong. left New York and
reached Washington the next day.
The Long Bridge was crossed
March 10. and a bivouAc made on
Virginia soil. The next day the
battalion went into camp near
Alexandria. The outfit soon en-
barked on the transport Georgia
for Fortress Monroe, the first
enemy being encountered on this
trip.
The regiment experienced the
first real touch of war June 27 at
Gaines Mills. In the early morn.
ing preparations for an important
movement were made. Every
thing that could not be readily
carried on the wagons. or on the
persons Of the men, was burned.
Suffers stores-hish. priced the
day before-were given away. In
action the division lost heavily.
The Twelfth went into battle 40
strong. Its total loss was 212. Of
which 81 were killed, 1o2 wounded,
and 5e missing. The first casualty
among the officers was Lieut..
Charles F. Van Duzer.
There Is a touching story told OF
Major Henry b. Clitz, to whom
credit has been given for tho or
ganization of the regiment.
LOST BOTH LEGS.
In the Gaines Mills battle, Clitz
was SEVERELY shot through both
legs and captured. He was sent 70
Libby Prison. He was exchanged.
and on July IS was reported on pa
role. He never rejoined. and thus
closed the active career Of the first
virtual commander of the Twelfth.
To him whom the brigade comman.
der called the gallant and dashing
Clitz" was due, more than to any
one else, the high standard Of eff.

regiment In this first battle.

United States infantry
~ stands watch over the Ma

When the coast artillery aban-
doned Fort Washington, that post
was turned over to the infantry.
The Third battalion Of the Sixty
fourth infantry, at Camp Meade,
was ordered to Fort Washington.
Recently its numerical desisna-
ton was changed to that Of the
Twelfth regiment. While there
was no physical change in the
troops, all records Of the bat.
talon were exchanged. With the
records Of the new battalion came
the traditions Of moro than half

civil war history Of the city Of

making its third tour.
Maj. w. r. L. Hartigan is the
commandant Of Fort Washington
and battalion commander. Capt.
G.. H. Smith Is the executive Off
Ger and Capt. w. L. Blanton is
post adjutant. During the civil
war the Twelfth infantry was
encamped between Washington
and Alexandria.
The numerical designation
''twelfth" has been borne by four
regiments Of infantry in the reg.
ular service Of the United States.
The first was organized July 1s,
1898, under an act Of the same
date, and disbanded on June 16,
1900. The second and third were
raised temporarily during hostili-
uss, the former In 1912. It's per

the latter during the Mexican
war. Upon the cessation Of the
hostilities both were disbanded.
