Were Up late At Night
Desnite the fact that the boys OF
the Fifth had to be UP with the nrs1
streak of dawn in order to entraln
for camp, many of them remained
un until one o'clock this morning
dancing on the main foor or the ar ,
mory. where dances have been held
ali during Mankato Fair.
Some of the officers in command
at frst though that II would not be
well to have the orchestra playing
for fear It would keep the men
awake. Those in favor OF dancing,
however prevailed. and ofneers ano
buck privates alike whiled the hours
OF the night away keeping time to
the music Of the dance. After the
dance the fellows selected the soft
est pine planks on the armory floor
and dreamed of the box cars with
nat wheels that use to be the Pull
man" sleepers "Over There" in the
strenuous days of the world war.
! At the last moment last night
several young men enlisted were
signed up and equipped.
