Corporal Duke!
Former Pride of U. s. Army Forces in Hawaii Returns Home With Honorable Discharge" His "Paws" Imprinted on Coveted
 ID O q m nt.
O o c u m e n {,

Corporal Duke of is driegs street, charge of Joseph c. Mag. araci, has received an honorable discharge from the United States army. He served with the reg. ular troops in Hawaii for nearly three years, and has been gta- tioned at Camp RAbert, Califor. mia, since January 6, ielI, where he was considered well-behaved.
 The most regrettable part of Corporal Dukes behavior, how. ever, was the fact that he had a strange contempt for clothing. He disdained the regularly prescribed army uniforms, and showed an Nmpulsive scorn for parade dress. His habits were not seclusive. He mingled with soldiers of all ranks, and was always ready with q grun "hello' for even the lowliest private. z
 Corporal Duke may be thought by some 10 have been eccentric, but those who knew him best were convinced that his deport- ment was prompted by natural motives and sound logic. He was occasionally moved, it cannot be denied, by unworthy impulses. For example. the corporal was ob. sessed with a number Of incred. ible dietary computations.
 Tn his more unsocial moods he would seize a bone with hardly q morsel of meat on 1t, stalk oft alone to . spot away from the society of his comrades, and pick away thoughtfully at the meat. When he had consumed the fleshy portion of the delicacy. he would immediately commence to gnaw the bone with e savagery unsus- pected in one 50 weli-mannered.
 Before passing judgment on the somewhat irregular habits of the corporal, 1t might be wise to con. sider Q complete characterization.
 Corporal Duke is ( fox-terrIer. Tn addition. he Is 6 bona fide of- ficer in Uncde Sam's army, an aristocrat among canines # ever there was one. He Is the proud possession Of Pvt. First Glass Jo. seph c. Magaraci, son of Mir. and Mrs. Antonio Magaraci of ie Griggs street.
 Corp. Duke enlisted with his master three years ago, and served
