••Soldiering" Down to n Fine Art.
What is II to be a soldier? This Is a
question which many people of Savannah
are turning over in their minds now.
Before the little affair with Spain begun
most people In Savannah, of the younger
generation at least, had an Idea that to
la- a soidier meant wearing a uniform and
carrying a gun. incidentally it was sup
posed that in time of war he did some
marching and occasionally got into a fight.
He was supposed to suffer some hardships
of course, but the pleasure of being a sol
dier and fighting for his country was sup
posed to more than make up for all this.
In facl, the average citizen supposed that
the gun was the chief implement of the
soldi*r and that instruction in its proper
use would be Tris cJljjf labor. Many of
the soldier boys who went Away from Sa
vannah last May had about the same Idea.
They know better now.
The presence of the Seventh Army Corps
has been an eye opener to many citizens
as to the real life of the private soidier.
They had heard something from Tampa
and Chickamauga of what the boys were
undergoing there, but they were disposed
to make allowances for a natural tendency
upon the part of the boys to exaggerate
their hardships and work upon the sym
pathies of the follcs at home.
The thousands of people who have vis
ited the camps of the Seventh Corps have
gotten some ideas about the reality of a
soldier's life that they did not have before.
They have seen the soldiers handling picks
and shovels, digging ditches and sinks
and doing other work of a kind which evi
dently many of them had never been ac
customed to before. Many citizens, on see
ing soldiers engaged in loading and unload
ing lumber, and handling heavy commis
sary supplies and quartermasters’ stores
and doing other heavy work have ex
claimed: "I didn't know soldiers had to
do that kind of work.”
Many of the boys didn't know it either,
or they wouldn't be soldiers now. Had the
boys who were enlisting so readily six
months ago known how much hard man.
ual labor there was In store for them it is
safe to say that their ardor would have
been considerably dampened. The boys
were enlisting to go lo Cuba and risk death
from Spanish bullets and yellow fever.
Every man of them expected to be in Cuba
inside of a month, and they expected
to do some hard drilling to get in readiness
to go there.
The officers who were enlisting men for
their companies never said anything
about work and the boys never thought
of it. Six months have passed and very
few of them have seen a Spaniard. They
have had an experience, however, which
they are not likely to forget and which
perhaps may be beneficial to them. The
fact is that there is a great deal of hard,
unpleasant work in the life of the private
soldier. Drilling is no easy work and be
comes distasteful itself, especially after
the private thinks he has learned it ajl,
and that he does not require any more
of it. The officers usually think different,
however.
The army theory of soldiering is about
as different from the volunteer militia
idea as sweet milk differs frofn corn whis
ky. One is the milk and water stage
and the other is the real
thing. The regular army theory is that
noiiody should do anything for the sol
dier that he can do for him
self. There are no servants about
a military camp, except sometimes
an officer’s servant. The men do their
own cooking. Sometimes they get around
this by hiring cooks or having privates
detailed as company cooks and paying
them extra. Even then privates have to
be detailed daily to assist the cooks. The
kitchen detail, as it is called, has to cut
wood, scrub pots, peel potatoes, parch cof
fee and do anything else in this line the
cooks want done.
Then there is the police detail. One of
the four sections of a company goes on
police detail every morning. It is the
business of the police detail to see that
the company street is put in first-class or
der and that all filth and trash is gotten
out of the way. If there is a sink to be
dug, the police detail digs it. Some
times many members of a section
will be on guard or other duties
and half a dozen even will have all the
work to perform. Then it is that the boys
begin to feel that the glory has faded from
a soldier’s life.
One of the most exasperating features
of army life to the average soldier Is
the general camp police which the old
guard is required to perform. The sol
dier feels that after having come off
twenty-four hours' guard the day before
it is an outrage that he should be required
to do general police duty. It looks like
a punishment for having done guard duty
afier having been told that it is on honor
to be entrusted with the protection of the
lives of his comrades and the property of
the government while on guard. He fails
to see any logical connection between the
two duties.
Guard duty is not the most pleasant
feature of army life, but when it doesn’t
come too often the soldiers don’t mind it
much. Two hours on and four hours off
guard looks easy, but those who have
tried it know better. There is little op
portunity for comfortable sleep around
the guard tent between the tours of duty
and the temptation to fall asleep on duty
is something hard to overcome, as many
a soldier has found to his cost. Still this
is a soldierly duty and one that was cal
culated upon.
The bete neir of the soldier's life Is the
numerous details for which lie is likely
to be caught. Companies are aiways be
ing called upon for details. Extra details
of guards are wanted for corps and division
and brigade headquarters. Quartermasters
call for details with great frequency arid
this means .hard work usually in handling
stores and supplies. The adjutant's call
for details with great frequency. Men are
wanted to load and unload cars, to load
lumber, to bring supplies to camp and
to do numberless other things. In fact,
ilie officers find a great many things for
the men to do which they had rather not
do.
r I he average private develops consider
an.e proficiency in evading work. His nat
ural inclination when he finds that there
is more work than glory in soldiering is to
kick. He soon learns that kicking Is bad
policy. It ottracts the attention of the
• rgeants and the man whom-the sergeant
has in mind is the man who is likely to be
mimed first on any unpleasant detail. The
Private who knows his busi
ness keeps a sharp eye on the first
ergeant’s tent and when he sees a de
'ail is wanted he makes himself scarce.
IN' hen a company is thinned out by a
number of men sick and absent on fur
iough the sergeant sometimes has a hard
time to get a detail. Some will be sick.

work, full of satisfaction at |jn ee- 1 Jj

the headaches and .. \

feelings of weak- V-f ©i

that overcome ''S%
them at times are the forerunners of seri
ous disease.
More men would succeed in carrying out
their life purposes if they would put their
constitutions in strong, forceful, high con
dition, without waiting until disease lias
plunged its axe into their vital organs. If
a man who is using up his working vitality
faster than his nutritive powers supply it,
will use Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical ’Dis
covery as an adjunct to his daily meals, it
will give the digestive organs power to
take hold of the food and extract from it
the elements which strengthen the vital
organism and build up healthy blood.
It revitalizes every organ and tissue of
the body ; purges bilious poisons out of
the circulation ; invigorates the nerve cen
ters and the muscular system and makes
a man altogether a man—full of ambition,
energy and pluck.
Mr. Jos, Henderson Dirblun. of 544 Josephine
Street, New Orleans, La., writes to Dr. Pierce :
"I was ailing for some years, suffering from
dyspepsia, a tired feeling and loss of energy and
appetite. I tried one bottle of Dr Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and found great re
lief. I took two more bottles, three in all. and
one or two bottles of the ‘ Pellets,’ when I
found myself in good health again. I recom
mend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to
do all that it is claimed to do.”
In many cases where constipation is one
of the aggravating causes of disease, Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets should be used in
conjunction with the “ Discovery.” They
are the simplest and most perfectly natural
laxative ever invented.
It is a dealer’s business to sell you what
you ask for—not what he prefers for selfish
profit’s sake to sell.
some on guard, some just come oft guard
and not liable for duty. Others have some
special duty to perform, and the men who
should be liable for the work have gone
to town or mysteriously disappeared. The
non-commissioned officers escape a good
deal of manual labor, but their lot is not
always an easy one. It is often harder
work to get the men to do something than
it would be to do It themselves.
The term “soldiering” does honor to
its derivation. No one who has ever lived
in camp can have any doubt as to Ihe
origin of the word. The average soldier
soon learns to "soldier” to perfection.
He can evade work to a nicety and he
has reduced the system of appearing *o
work while not really working to a fine
art. The aversion which some of the men
seem to have to work is really remark
able. Every morning in the company
streets the men can be heard disputing as
to whose turn it is to clean up the tent
and often the sergeant has fo threaten to
put all the occupants of a tent on extra
duty before he qan get them to put it in
order.
The average soldier realizes that ✓the
work is something which has got tp be
done somehow, but that it Is nothing to
his credit, no matter how much he soes.
He is willing to work, provided eVery
othei ? hian d<sPs his shifre, but he hates
to think that he is doing any more than
any one else, and works accordingly.
CAPT. M’FEELV’S SWORD.
A Second Illinois Officer’s Handsome
Present.
Capt. Willis McFeely of Company G,
Second Illinois Regiment, received an ex
press package yesterday which caused him
both surprise and pleasure. In this pack
age was a handsome presentation sword
from the firm with which he was con
nected before entering the service and
from its employes.
Accompanying the sword was a letter
addressed to Capt. McFeely:
Dear Captain: Within this case
you will find a sword which we
expect you will carry in the
service of the United States as long as
the country may need your services, and
when you return to the peaceful avocation
of a private citizen, we hope the sword
may be a pleasant reminder of duties
faithfully performed.
Nowadays an officer’s sword is little
more than an emblem of authority, but
we trust that this one may be to you 1n
addition an emblem of our regard for
you.
We hope that amid the temptations of
a soldier’s life you may keep your morals
as pure and clean as this polished blade;
that your eye to perceive the right may
be as sharp as its point and your honor
as bright as the gold.
If you can do this, we have no fear for
your future, either in peace or in war,
for men love a leader whom’they can re
spect and honor, and when they have such
an officer, will follow him eden inlo the
Jaws of death. May you never draw a
sword in any but an honorable cause.
The letter is signed by John A. Duncan
and Wm. D. Hollis, members of the firm
of Hollis & Duncan, Howard B. Hollis,
Edward G. Dewey, W. W. Hunt, E. W.
Duncan, W. L. Duncan, F. W. Willard,

The sword has two scabbards, a plain
service scabbard and a dress scabbard,
handsomely decorated and trimmed with
gold, and bears the inscription: "Capt. Wil

DR. DOLTON OX PRAYER.
The Chaplain*!) Address Before the
Y. NI. C. A. Last Xllit.
A number of young men were present
at the mooting held for young men at the
Young Men’s Christian Association last
night to hear the address by Chaplain
Bolton of the Second Illinois Regiment.
His subject was “Prayer,” and It proved
very helpful to those who were present. -
Prayer, Dr. Bolton said, is a great
bridge over which God allows us to send
our wishes to the throne of grace. Prayer
to be successful must be anlted prayer.
Peter's great sermon on the day of Pen
tecost was the result of united prayer,
for we are told that the seventy were with
one accord in prayer, and Uud blessed
this unity of purpose. The reason our
prayers are often of no real value to us.
ne said, is that we do not pray for things
we really need. Our prayers too often
lack earnestness. There must be a direct
purpose in our prayers. We must pray
for a specific thing. He then went on to
show the young men the safety there was
in prayer.
Chaplain Bolton will speak again to
night at 8 o’clock, his subject being “Like
Christ in His Communion With God.”
