In letter from the States we are advised that former Lieut.. Fred w. Boschen, well known officer at Ft. Davis in earlier years, is now Fin ance officer of the U. S. Army. sta- toned at Washington. D. C.. rank ing as Major.
 Major Boschen holds an enviab1e record during the late war. After IS months teaching he was sent regiment The very day he took command he went into action and lost 500 men. His regiment in that sector was the only one to reach and hold their objective. The major came home with four decorations, but minus his chest. A big shell exploding, almost got him. Prac- tically his entire chest was carried away, the sternum, muscles. etc. Later they reconstructed i,i@' chest by grating on slices of bone from his own shin bones. He is again in fair shape, altho he can ndulge in no violent exercise, not even ride a horse.
 The terrible strain undergone b the Major has left him crippled and grey. althou he has not lost his youthful trend of mind. He is now married and has a little girl. Some day, he says, he will again come to Alaska to visit his old frienls.

You know, haboons live in col
onies. just like people do, and
they even have baboon who
acts like a king, president, 90
governor, or whatever you want
to call it. He is always an old
fellow with gray hair. But he is
much respected, and it is amazing
to see how he keeps order among
the balloons over whom he rules.

live with us that old baboon
might not have been as mischiev-

young and as full of fun and mis-.

such an atmosphere Of courage

these good states of mind from
