Twenty-fourth Co.)
Advices received from Washington as
sign Ed Mooney to the duty of shoeing
horses. Eddie says he does not mind if
tiic horses won’t.
Dickenchied, our popular song leader,
vows never again to fall asleep while in
the barber’s chair. He was so hand
some, too, before what happened did hap
pen.
“Red" Scherer never misses a chanco to
render a soldier's courtesy. But he has
n't yet discovered that even that may be
overdone, as when, for'instance, he sa
lutes passing officers while standing or
marching' in ranks. It is certain that
your courtesy card will never be revoked
for a failure to salute, Red.
Just one thing more. Red. Bo sure to
remove your cigar from your mouth when
saluting an officer hereafter.
According to Eddie Cypres, the worst
punishment that can be reserved for the
kaiser after the war, is a permanent K.
P. detail. Eddie ought to know, and
what is more, we are in accord with him.
The “big boys” of our company do not
seem to relish “Kentucky’s” latest stunt
of giving the column an about-face order
after they have fallen in at its head for
mess. The “Shorties” say its a great
idea nevertheless.
Our own “mighty Casey” never whiffs
when It comes to poling a lilting ditty
over the fence for the winning home run
hit.
Supply Sergeant Kopper is indeed a
model of soldierly nattiness and cleanli
ness that it would be well for the rest of
us to copy.
“Red” Faherty bore himself very coolly
and bravely in his engagement with the
dentist “somewhere in camp:" and though
he suffered the loss of twelve of his
teeth before the overwhelming strength
of the foe forced his retirement, he never
theless excuted a very orderly retreat to
our lines.

Between training hours soldiers at
Camp Dix, New York, bear a part of the
civilian’s burden in growing food. There
they have real war gardens, real because
the product goes directly into soldier
stomachs and are cared for by soldier
gardeners.

There was not a man in our company
who wasn’t fighting mad after listening
to Lieut. Ringold’s stirring arraignment
of the Hun and his methods of waging
war.
Sleep has its compensations aside from
th ? soothing rest which it affords tired
bodies and . trained nerves, for it brings
also very pleasant dreams, judging by the
remarks that so many of our boys utter in
their sleep. These relate mostly to col
lars (not the starched ones either) swing
ing doors, foot-rails, and kindred sub
jects.z Will dreams ever come true?
If we were not afraid of introducing
an epidemic of home-sickness we would
set forth the dream that came to John
(Mui) Lee the other night.
Aided and abetted by a truly melodi

way into our hearts.
A home which is presided over by a
Dutch house-wife could present no bet
ter or more spotless appearance than our
tents have since our captain began to is
sue town passes to the squads occupying
the best arranged and cleanest looking
tens. We do not envy him in his task
of selecting them either, for when the
boys get through with the daily house
cleaning whicli precedes inspection, there
remains very little to choose between
them.

Part of the joy of life was taken
this week by the transfer of Chief Duty
Sergeant Colby to Camp Wadsworth.
The Second gave Colby a sendoff by
singing the following, improvised for
the occasion to the tune of “Goodbye,
Broadway,,:
Goodbye, Colby, luck to you
How we hate to see you go
Goodbye rake and hoe.

A story told in “Second Provisional
nomenclature.”
A recruit of Royal blood claimed he
had Steele nerve, as a sharpshooter
could pierce bullseyes and shed Ger
man Gore. He asked for a Nice com
mission. The recruiting officer
thought him Lyon, said it was not his
“Piaster” to grant his request. He
made him a Walker in the infantry,
where they made him do such a fast
Pace that he had to use Sloan’s lina
ment every night. Claiming he had
never had Fowler treatment the re
cruit took case to Court. But the judge
had too much Krafft. He said: “Tell
it to Sweeney” and put him behind
the Walls knocking Sparks from
Stones and where he had to sleep in a
Garret with nothing to cover him but
a Shall. Imagine his re-Morse.
For knocking the cigarette from the
hand of a rockie after he had refused
to throw it away in the Q. Al. guard
Private Morse, of the Second may re
ceive the Ordnance double cross, with
crossed pick and shovel for his bravery.
Corporal Howat, of the Fourteenth
squad is convinced it is one’s religous
duty to salute. He points to Hebrews,
acres in all sorts of vegetables. The Na
tional War Garden Commission furnish
ed nine truck loads of seeds and all the
implements necessary to do the garden
ing. The soldiers furnish elbow grease
and appetites.
